Local tip
For a group visit, pairing a game booking with food and drinks keeps the activity and bar elements together.

Boom Battle Bar Manchester Printworks is an activity-led bar inside Printworks on Withy Grove, combining competitive games, drinks and street food in one indoor setting. The venue suits group outings, celebrations, dates and social evenings built around shared activities rather than a conventional meal.

The games menu includes American pool, AR-Cade Golf Lane, augmented reality darts, augmented reality axe throwing, beer or prosecco pong and shuffleboard. Each option offers a different style of play, from table games and target challenges to team-based drinking games. The competitive format gives groups a clear focus, while the bar setting keeps food and drinks close at hand.

Food is presented as street food, making it a casual match for the games and relaxed bar atmosphere. Drinks include cocktails, beer and prosecco, with options suited to both activity sessions and socialising between rounds. The overall style is lively and informal, with a focus on entertainment, friendly competition and group participation rather than formal dining.

Private BOOM BOX KARAOKE™ booths add a separate singing option for parties and celebrations. Karaoke can be booked as its own experience, allowing groups to have a more private activity within the wider venue. The venue also runs organised experiences and event formats, including bottomless brunches, cocktail masterclasses, date-night sessions and occasions for birthdays, hen and stag groups, and corporate gatherings.

Printworks places the bar among other central entertainment venues, making it practical for an evening that combines food, drinks and activities. Walk-ins are welcomed, although advance booking is available for games and private karaoke. The venue is strictly over 18 after 7pm, an important point for groups planning a later visit. With its mix of games, casual food, drinks and bookable experiences, Boom Battle Bar is suited to groups looking for an active alternative to a standard bar or restaurant.
