Overview
The Bowl Port Macquarie is a favourite entertainment venue for locals and visitors. It brings people together with a playful mix of games, music and great food. It is easy to say yes to good times.
The fun starts with ten pin bowling across 12 lanes. After a few frames, guests can sing their heart out in a private karaoke room. For something different, they can aim and throw with electronic darts.
Between games, two bars keep the fun flowing, inside and outside. When the sun is out, The Terrace becomes the perfect day-to-night destination. The venue is also dog-friendly in Port Macquarie.
Staying longer feels effortless with a full kitchen on site. Two talented chefs serve crowd-pleasing favourites that suit every group. Cocktails shine, from martinis to sweet sips. As the evening rolls on, live music from local musicians sets the mood. Jazz on The Terrace adds another layer for jazz lovers. Inclusive disco events also welcome all abilities.
For celebrations, the venue makes planning simple. Flexible spaces suit functions and events of all sizes. Both indoor and outdoor areas can be hired with ease. Birthdays, baby showers, weddings and receptions feel relaxed and social. Corporate events and end-of-year parties are easy to bring to life. Kids and teens parties feel effortless with bowling and karaoke.
