EntX's arcade, mini golf and eight lanes
Bowling at Archie Brothers is one part of a night out rather than the whole plan. The venue fills part of the EntX complex at 617–619 Colombo Street, next to the bus interchange, and shares space with an 18-hole Holey Moley mini golf course and private karaoke rooms. Its own diner, Dazzler's, serves freakshakes and cocktails.
There are eight lanes, each with couches, and food and drinks are ordered from the lane by scanning a QR code. Age rules matter for families: under-18s may stay until 9pm from Sunday to Thursday and until 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and ID is checked after 8pm. Monday to Wednesday is the cheaper stretch for bowling.
Midnight finishes on Fridays and Saturdays
Saturday and Sunday open at 10am, weekdays at noon. Under-18s must leave well before closing time.
