Flight Club Darts in Leeds

A visit to Flight Club to play some darts in Leeds.

Flight Club Darts in Leeds

We really like playing darts and have found that Flight Club is a top place to play the game. Although if you're looking to have a play of standard 501 rules you won't find that.

Instead there are a range of interactive games more suited to groups. My favourite is Demolition - as close to a 'normal' game of darts as you'll find at Flight Club - where the aim is to reach zero from a starting point of 180. I managed to finish in seven darts in one of our games.

We booked in for a 90-minute session at the Leeds city centre location for some competitive fun on our recent wedding anniversary.

In case you were wondering who won - it was me

Flight Club has a really good atmosphere, a nice range of drinks, and is a pleasant spot to spend a few hours. The service from the staff is helpful and friendly too. Our 90-minute session was £14 each and we got to play a LOT of games in that time. You also get sent your game results, stats & facts, as well as the photos and videos taken by the oche-cameras at the venue while you play. It's a really neat touch and allows you to get on and enjoy the games without snapping away or tallying up the scores yourself.

We've played at Flight Club Leeds with a friend before and having a third player, or more, can add to the challenge of the games.

Emily recently played at Flight Club in Las Vegas, and I've been to the Manchester Flight Club for some socials in the last couple of years.

The Flight Club venues have some cool darts memorabilia and ephemera dotted around the venue, and I like the onscreen counter in the bar that shows you how many darts have been thrown at Flight Club venues around the world in real-time! It was over 500 million at the time we were there!

We'd highly recommend you give it a go if you've not been before.

Crazier Nolf at Boom Battle Bar in Bournemouth

A look at the Crazier Nolf course at Boom Battle Bar in Bournemouth, Dorset.


Boom Battle Bar in Bournemouth

Emily recently visited Boom Battle Bar in Bournemouth with some work colleagues for a social do, and saw Crazier Nolf there. A first for the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Boom Battle Bar calls its crazy golf courses 'Crazier Golf' (and we've played the location in Norwich). Crazier Nolf is Crazier Golf, but played without putters!

Emily didn't get a chance for a game of Crazier Nolf on this occasion as some of the electronic holes were out of order. But she did get to play some of the darts and shuffleboard there.
