A NEW interactive darts bar will be opening in Liverpool city centre.

Flight Club, a fairground-inspired social darts experience, will open in Liverpool ONE on August 23.

The new venue is the 13th UK opening for Flight Club and guests can expect semi-private oche areas arranged over two floors, two bars, a ground-floor outdoor terrace, a mezzanine seating area overlooking all the action below, and a huge first-floor balcony looking out towards Chavasse Park.

On the menu, guests will find a mix of crowd-pleasing small plates and sourdough pizzas, along with a cocktail selection.   

Located on the terrace level of Liverpool One, in the unit previously held by Boujee Bar, Flight Club Liverpool is decked out in the classic Flight Club style. It combines the fun of the fairground with nods to the Victorian era and all the best bits of a traditional British pub.

There are treasures and trinkets in every corner to surprise and delight, including clocks and barometers of varying sizes on the walls, an entire area dedicated to vintage porcelain dogs, reclaimed antique furniture pieces and a fairground carousel horse. 

The venue is 11,000 sq/ft, with 16 oches and a capacity of 350 people. 

There’s no need for arithmetic in this game, as cameras track and automatically score every dart thrown. Live action replays appear on screen during the session, and later, sharable stories of the best moments are delivered directly to guests’ phones.  

Perfect for groups of friends, Flight Club throws the traditional two-player game out the window. Social Darts, Flight Club’s name for its new and improved version of darts, can accommodate 12 people around an oche.

And, ideal for big groups or corporate events, multiple oches can be connected to allow up to 350 players to join epic tournaments hosted by an expert Gamesmaster.  

There are six immersive and fast-paced games to choose from. Games include ‘Demolition’, which sees players start with 180 points, and take turns throwing their darts, with the aim of getting to 0. Unlike traditional darts, there’s no need to finish on a double to win, making it easier for those who have never played before.

In the game ‘Killer’, players must hit their assigned number three times to become a killer. When they achieve killer status, they must hit other players' numbers to try and knock them out. The winner is the last one standing. 

Steve Moore, CEO and co-founder of Flight Club, said, “Liverpool is so well known for being an epic night out and has been on our hit list for years.

“We were so excited when the Liverpool ONE site came up – the location, terrace and views overlooking the park felt like the perfect fit, and now we’re finally getting ready to open our doors.

“We can’t wait to start welcoming everyone up to the throwline and showing the people of Liverpool what the Flight Club experience is about.”
