Flight Club hit the bullseye with their first venue (sorry), so they went for the double (sorry again) and worked round the clock (treble sorry) to open their bigger sophomore darts bar, Flight Club Bloomsbury. Now one of four Flight Clubs in London, the Bloomsbury branch offers their same signature blend of tech wizardry; extravagant interiors; and booze.
Here’s what the hoopla is about:
THE VENUE
Flight Club Bloomsbury has been decked out with an in-your-face Victorian fairground theme, with exposed bulbs, colourful signage, and the distinct impression that you might leave carrying a huge cuddly toy. The centrepiece is a big, bold bar that looks very much like it’s been ripped from the side of a carousel. Of course, you’re here for…
THE DARTS
Flight Club Bloomsbury boasts nine oches (darts lanes) each complete with the standard Flight Club board; designed by a literal rocket scientist, they come with animated, automatic scoring, touch screen interfaces, and pre-programmed games like Demolition Darts (classic 301, with a twist); Shanghai (a race for points); Killer (eliminate your friends, one by one); and Quackshot (aim for the bullseye). And then there’s…
THE MENU
The cocktails are almost as fancy as the bar itself, with house numbers like the slushie Coco Fumada that blends two different rums, pineapple, lime & smoked salt, or the Tankard 10 mixing gin, white wine, peach, and apple cider. And that’s all there to wash down food like roasted padron peppers, chicken satay skewers, pizza paddles, sausage rolls, and Scotch eggs.
Just make sure your diet isn’t the only thing doing a 180.
NOTE: Flight Club Bloomsbury is open daily. You can book an oche by heading to their website HERE.
