00:00 It's like mini golf experience where you get put onto a lane and you play those mini games including carnival, rampage, have fun with the family, any age can come.
00:07 It's just have fun at golf like no other.
00:09 But it's a bit different to regular golf. It's more lane golf.
00:12 Not crazy golf, not normal golf, in the middle. Bit more high tech experience as well in it.
00:17 So what do you mean by high tech?
00:19 Well, it's like projected maps down onto the lane. You see it all through a projector.
00:23 It's all through sensor. You get to track the holes, track your scores, everything's done automatically by the equipment.
00:30 We have all these games to choose from. You can do them all within the hour if you take the right shots correctly.
00:37 We'll get the points in the end.
00:40 They are quite fun. The puppet one here is pickpocket. You can play with a group of yours and still earn six points.
00:47 So does it encourage competition?
00:49 Yeah, it is very good fun as well.
00:54 My favourite is Derby. I find it really fun. I really enjoy it, Derby.
01:00 I'm not the best at true or false. I'm not good at trivia, but that one is also good fun, but I'm not good at trivia.
01:07 If you're a pro at golf, come down. If you're new to golf, come down. It's fun either way.
01:11 So why does Blackpool need a bar like this?
01:14 It's like a bar like no other. It's fun. We're filled with laughs.
01:17 We have golf to play. It's just something different for you all to come down and have fun to try.
01:22 The bar is just for your use only.
01:25 As you can see, it's quite an old theme, I'd say. Quite old.
01:31 That's the theme we go for. It's all the same all around the site.
01:35 Okay. What kind of age range are you aiming for?
01:41 I'd say probably about six and up, I'd say, around that age.
01:44 Are you open for children as well?
01:48 Yeah, we do have smaller clubs for the children to use, but only children until 9pm.
01:49 Now then, it's only adults past 9pm, unfortunately.
01:51 We provide your foods, which is pizza rolls, spring rolls, chips, chicken strips.
01:57 We also do vegan as well.
01:59 So we're on the prom, just towards North Pier from the Blackpool Tower, across from Wedding Chapel.
02:05 That's where you'll find us. Next to Papa's Chippy, straight there, straight down some steps.
02:09 You can't miss us, big sign.
02:12 Right now, it's notoriously quite a quiet period for Blackpool.
02:18 So how are you finding it at the moment?
02:20 Honestly, it was quite good for us to ease in. We are still quite busy, but it's been quite mump.
02:24 It was good to ease us into a new job. It was very nice and calm and steady from the off, and now it is getting quite busy.
02:31 So are you looking forward to Easter and the summer season and things picking up a little bit?
02:36 Yeah, it will be very good during that time. We've got a lot of bookings, it will be good fun, able to keep going.
