Experience venue for groups in London
The interior is designed to be modern and energetic, with a focus on playful elements. Neon lights, colorful accents, and an open layout create a lively atmosphere often accompanied by loud music – frequently provided by DJs playing the latest hits. The bar offers a variety of activities, including augmented reality axe throwing, shuffleboard, AR darts, beer pong, American pool, crazier golf, and private karaoke booths known as "Boom Boxes." These games are central to the concept and make the bar particularly attractive for birthday parties, stag or hen dos, corporate events, or simply a fun evening out with friends. The activities come with a fee and must be booked separately, with prices varying depending on the game and duration – an hour of axe throwing or mini-golf is often regarded as an ideal time frame.

The drinks menu is extensive and designed for a party atmosphere. The cocktail list includes creative house specials as well as classics served in large jugs or as "trees" – perfect for groups. Particularly popular are offers like 2-for-1 cocktails during happy hour, which runs from Monday to Thursday between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM, subject to certain conditions. In addition to cocktails, there is a selection of draft beers, including well-known brands like Brewdog, as well as handpicked wines and premium spirits. For hunger pangs, the bar offers street food, including classics like buffalo wings, halloumi fries, and loaded nachos, which are described as tasty and filling, even though they are not the main focus of the experience.

The target audience is diverse: from young adults to tourists and colleagues looking for a place for team building, there is something for everyone. The bar is strictly for patrons over 18 years old, with stricter age checks in place after 7:00 PM. Service is often praised as friendly and dedicated, with individual staff members like Joshua, Hayden, or Deborah highlighted by guests for their helpfulness and good spirits. However, there is occasional criticism regarding long wait times on busy evenings or overwhelmed staff, which is not unusual in such a bustling venue. Additionally, the noise level and the focus on games rather than quiet conversations may not be appreciated by everyone.
