Bowling House will offer food, beer, wine and cocktails on its four lanes when it opens on Saturday, March 24.
Managing director, Jack Thompson, said: 'We're so excited to be bringing something new and unique to Norwich. The building has been totally transformed and will be unrecognisable when it's finished.
'We've assembled a great team and we can't wait to open the doors. It's been a really quick turnaround, work started in January so they've done a really good job. It's a really nice building, it just needed some TLC.
'We can't wait to get started and show everyone what we've been working on.'
