Social Darts experience in Birmingham
The "Flight Club Birmingham" in Birmingham, England, is a unique restaurant and bar that specializes in "Social Darts" – a modern, interactive version of the classic dart game. It is part of the successful Flight Club chain, which was founded in London in 2015, and opened its doors in Birmingham in 2018. The venue quickly established itself as a popular meeting place, impressing with its innovative concept and striking design. In 2020, it was awarded the Restaurant and Bar Design Award, highlighting its impressive aesthetics. The interior is a mix of playful carnival charm and modern elegance: colorful lights dance to the rhythm of the music, an impressive bar attracts attention, and a prominent feature is "Elena," a decorative carousel horse that greets guests. A "Dream Staircase" leads to the upper area, which offers additional seating and a relaxed atmosphere.
Restaurant with interactive dart games
Culinary-wise, "Flight Club Birmingham" focuses on uncomplicated yet delicious food that perfectly complements the sociable ambiance. Particularly popular are the pizza paddles, large wooden boards with freshly baked pizzas that are ideal for sharing – such as the one with Italian sausage, truffle cream, and mozzarella, appreciated for its intense flavor. The chicken wings are also highly favored, especially the spicy buffalo wings, served with a tangy sauce that leaves a lasting impression. For vegetarians, there are alternatives like the Spiced Cauliflower Wings, enhanced with BBQ-Sriracha, offering a creative variety. As a sweet conclusion, the Warm Chocolate Brownie is recommended, served with a scoop of ice cream and notable for its melting consistency. The drinks menu is equally impressive: in addition to a variety of beers, including the hoppy Dead Pony Club, there are elaborately crafted cocktails like the Disco Slushie – a fruity mix of vodka, peach liqueur, and lemon, served in an eye-catching cup.

However, the heart of "Flight Club Birmingham" is the "Social Darts" experience. Here, the traditional dart game is enhanced with cutting-edge technology: cameras and sensors capture the throws, screens display interactive games and leaderboards, and action replays add extra fun. Games like "Demolition" or "Killer" make it accessible even for beginners, as multiple throwing lines balance the playing field. The concept is geared towards groups, and the venue offers semi-private areas like "The Snug" for intimate celebrations or "The Carousel" for larger events, which score points with their playful decoration. The atmosphere is electric, often accompanied by music and occasional DJ performances, making the evening even more vibrant.
