Manchester's Black Dog Ballroom will launch their new 10 pin bowling venue Dog Bowl on Tuesday April 2nd. Combining all the New York style speakeasy style of the original Northern Quarter bar and diner with five bowling lanes, Dog Bowl will be a unique late night venue for the city centre.

The video created to celebrate the launch of Dog Bowl tracks the story of two teams of two bowlers as they take each other on across the streets of the city late one night. The teams played a conventional ten bowl game using tram lines, roads, public spaces such as Piccadilly Gardens and Spinningfields and a number of the city centre car parks as lanes.

The teams bowled in 20 locations around the centre of Manchester between 8pm and 3am. They started in Castlefield and worked their way around the city in a large loop, taking in Spinningfields, the Norther Quarter, Piccadilly, China Town, Canal Street and Whitworth Street along the way.
