Ten-Pin Bowling Options Across Adelaide CBD

How Bowling Alleys Work

Tenpin in the CBD comes down to two neighbours on the same floor of Rundle Place, so the choice between them comes down to what else the group wants alongside the lanes. Strike Bowling Rundle Place adds private karaoke rooms, while Archie Brothers Rundle Place leans on a circus-style arcade with ticket and prize games.

How the two Rundle Place lanes compare:

  • Strike Bowling Rundle Place has eight lanes, karaoke rooms, a games arcade and a cocktail bar
  • Archie Brothers Rundle Place runs tenpin beside a large arcade where guests tap a game card at each machine and collect prizes
  • Function packages at both start from $52 per person
  • Strike takes groups of eight or more, and Archie Brothers needs at least ten guests for any package
  • Both kitchens serve burgers, pizzas and tacos, so a group can eat without leaving the floor
