Haldenwick Lanes is the bowling house at 60 Rue Marius Berliet. We open at 14:00 every day, so you can come after work, bring the family on Sunday, or book a table when you already know the date. House shoes are at the desk, bumpers go up for younger players, and the pool tables sit just behind the lanes. If you only want a game, walk in. If you are bringing a group, call +33 4 78 01 21 65 or write to [email protected] and we will tell you which hour is still free. Rates are on the cards further down. The number on the board beside the desk is the one we charge.
One game is simple. You pay at the desk when the shoes come out, and you play. Nothing on this website takes a card, and a walk-up frame does not need a deposit.
Birthdays and work evenings are the ones we like to know about ahead of time. A weekday group can often be fitted in with a couple of days’ notice. Weekends fill faster, so give us a little longer. Say how many people are coming, whether the children need bumpers, and if anyone wants a host for a first lesson. There is a snack counter between games, and Friday and Saturday the last frames run past midnight. If the tram is late, call the desk and we will hold the lane a short while. If we have not heard from you about twenty minutes after the start, we let the next group on.
Daytime frames at €9.40, evening frames at €13.20, shoes from size 28 to 48 already in the price
Weekday groups of eight from €96, weekend groups from €128, with one game and a soft drink each
Ten people, one game and a soft drink, €165, with names sent two weekdays before the booking
Haldenwick opened on Rue Marius Berliet in April 2018. People still come for the same three things: a casual game, a reserved table, or an hour of pool after the lanes.
The twelve lanes stay in one nightly grid. Eight pool tables sit in the lounge behind the approaches. Six evenings run past midnight, Tuesday through Sunday. Monday opens with the rest of the week at 14:00 and closes a little earlier, so the pinsetters can be checked without a queue on the approach. Bumpers can be raised on the last two lanes when children are playing. Walk-up games are not held in advance. A larger party is confirmed at the desk, not through a payment form on this site.
From the lane book
House shoes are included in the €9.40 and €13.20 game prices. The wall is restocked between groups. If your size is on a lane, the desk will offer the next size or a short wait rather than send you out in street shoes. Street shoes are not allowed on the approach.
The daytime figure of €9.40 covers one game and shoes. The evening figure of €13.20 covers the same. A second game is listed on its own line, €7.60 or €9.90, so it is not folded into the first charge by surprise.
Street shoes stay off the approach. Food stays at the tables, not on the ball return. Bumper gutters on lanes 11 and 12 are for players under ten, at €6.80 a game. Tell the desk if someone in the group needs a step-free route to a lane. The floor is reachable by a self-propelled wheelchair as far as the seating beside lanes 1 and 2.
Doors at 14:00 daily. Sunday to Thursday the last start is 23:15 and close is 00:30, except Monday, which ends at 23:30. Friday and Saturday the last start is 00:15 and close is 01:00.
Cards and cash are taken at the lane desk. Card details are not stored on this website. A party over €120 needs 40 percent when we confirm the date.
Weekday birthdays can often be held with two days’ notice. Weekend parties need five days. A lane host for coaching is €32 and is a separate line.
Shoe rules, bumper ages, and food limits are written at the desk. A step-free seat beside lanes 1 and 2 can be requested when you book.
The door on Rue Marius Berliet opens at 14:00 every day. Through the week the last game starts around 23:15, and on Monday we close a little earlier so the machines can be checked. Friday and Saturday run later, with a last start after midnight. If you are running late, call the desk. We do not keep a lane sitting empty for long.
Shoes are handed over at the same desk, in sizes from 28 to 48, and they come with the game. There is a seat at the back of each pair of lanes and a snack counter behind them. The tram stop is Jet d’Eau – Mendès France. If you are collecting a birthday table and the tram is slow, call +33 4 78 01 21 65 and we will wait a little.
The Lane Rates page has the full list. These four cards are the short version, before you decide to come across town.
You can play the day you arrive, or ask us to set a table for a time you name. We only bowl in this building. If a number here and the board at the desk do not match, the board wins, and we fix the page. A company evening can have an invoice emailed after you pay. Questions go to +33 4 78 01 21 65 or [email protected].

Desk notes
“We took a lane after work on Friday. The shoes were ready under the office name, and nobody added a second game we had not asked for.”
“The birthday table was already set when we arrived. Bumpers were up on the children’s lanes, and the host had the headcount right.”
“I asked about step-free seating before we came. They put us beside the first lanes and were clear that street shoes still stay off the approach.”
