Ping pong and pool club Roxy Ballroom is opening its first Manchester bar.

Established in Leeds, with sites also in Liverpool and Huddersfield, the company has applied for a licence for the premises above La Tasca on Deansgate.

Serving craft beer, cocktails, pizza and burgers, it will be open from 10am to 3.30am every day if the plans get the go-ahead.

Games at the Leeds branch are priced £4.50 per half hour all day from Sunday to Wednesday, and before 5pm from Thursday to Saturday (rising to £6 afterwards).

Customers can also play beer pong for the price of four cans of Asahi.

The Leeds branch also has a nine-hole mini golf course and operates a boutique bowling alley nearby, Roxy Lanes, although there’s no word yet on any plans to bring that to Manchester.

It will join a growing trend for games-led bars in Manchester, adding to the likes of existing ping pong club Twenty Twenty Two, pop-up putting green Junkyard Golf Club and boutique bowling alleys All Star Lanes and Dog Bowl.
