Established in 1987 and proudly under new ownership, Retro Bowl has undergone an exciting transformation. After a full renovation in May 2025, we’re thrilled to welcome you to the all-new Retro Bowl – a bright, modern space bursting with fun, colour, and nostalgia.

Our eight bowling lanes now feature automatic bumpers for the kids (and the young at heart), a new scoring system, vibrant lighting, and upgraded consoles – making every game a guaranteed good time.

Beyond bowling, the fun keeps rolling:

Arcade: Load up your arcade card, tap to play, earn points, and redeem them for prizes at our Retro Rewards counter.

Karaoke Room: Sing your heart out with over 100,000 songs in our retro-styled, state-of-the-art karaoke space.

Bar & Café: Fully licensed and serving delicious snacks, meals, and drinks to keep your crew fuelled up between games.

Functions & Events: With a versatile function room and endless entertainment options, we’re the perfect spot for birthdays, family gatherings, corporate events, and everything in between.

Located in the heart of Invercargill City, Retro Bowl is your go-to destination for fun and unforgettable memories. No matter your age or skill level, there’s something for everyone.

Come on down and see why Retro Bowl is Invercargill’s favourite place to play, laugh, and celebrate.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
