LEVEL UP GAMING – Bathgate

CLIENT BACKGROUND

Level Up Gaming Ltd is a new gaming venue at 67A/2 Whitburn Road, Bathgate, West Lothian, EH48 1HE.

The address is well known locally. The venue occupies part of the former night club “Room At The Top”, a building that has now been split into a variety of small business units.

Level Up Gaming is a gaming venue with 2 Motion Gaming racing simulators and 10 gaming desks, in two rows of five. Players can race against each other or team up in the Arena. The venue is fully equipped with high spec gaming PCs supporting a range of games, and also hosts birthday parties.
