duck pin bowling in Edinburgh

A duck walked into a bar… so we turned it into a game. This feathered friend of tenpin may be small, but don’t let its size fool you.

Played on shorter lanes with featherlight balls and squat, duck-shaped pins – winging it won’t cut it here.

Without the weight of tenpin, this retro game moves faster, demanding finesse over force to outscore the competition. Strikes are trickier to land, so bowlers get three rolls per frame to hit their mark. The cleverest players will use that extra shot to their advantage, steadily racking up points with each frame to soar to victory.
