I wouldn't recommend this branch of Flight Club.
We were running 10 minutes late and got a call from FCB. We were disappointed in ourselves for wasting our time (booked and paid for) but the staff member on the phone volunteered to push our booking back 15mins! Result! We were all impressed at this point. Great start!
We got in and were taken to our table quite quickly. I ordered a bottle of wine and almost £3 extra was charged on top of the price in the menu. The server didn't tell me this (it was our table's first order) so added it on without saying. I asked him and he said it was service charge. They should tell people before they add this onto the total, or tell when your table puts in their first order.
The person who showed us how to set everything up wasn't with us for long as I've recently been to another Flight Club, and so had others. She seemed helpful and knowledgeable.
As soon as our game ended someone came over, removed our darts from the board and told us to leave so he could clean. I know you book a slot, but it feels like they're herding cattle (your group is the cattle). Being rushed onward within a couple of minutes was not a nice experience, we still had half a bottle of wine.
We couldn't stay upstairs where we played, to finish our drinks, because there was no room. Some of our group had to go home so we went to the lobby area (beside the stairs) to say our goodbyes. Unfortunately the security guard wouldn't let us stay there even though the area had hardly anyone walking through at this time of the night, he wanted it to be kept empty. Again, felt a bit like cattle. So we quickly said our goodbyes.
At this point we realised the person who phoned us and said she'd move our slot back, didn't actually do what she told us. We left at the time of our original booking. So we lost 15 minutes of play time (27% of the time we paid for).
Some of us went downstairs to finish our wine so we could get out ASAP. Downstairs was nice. They had a DJ on (Friday night). His mixes were so bad it was funny, I think he just used the crossfader too early and had no intention of matching the BPM. Very minor point!! Downstairs was nice. The songs were good.
I was recently at the Victoria Flight Club and others were in different ones too and this did not live up to expectations, I'm afraid. The darts is fun but it's the staff that let us down mostly. Although, to be honest, the establishment was also nowhere near as nice as the Victoria one so it felt a bit more rough and ready.
They had an accessible stair lift which is really good.
Couldn't recommend this branch...

I had the pleasure of attending a company outing at Flight Club Bloomsbury, and I must say it was an absolute blast! Flight Club provided a unique and exhilarating experience. What made this outing truly exceptional was the fact that even as non-professional dart players, we were able to fully enjoy and engage in the various dart games on offer.
From the moment we stepped inside Flight Club, we were greeted by a vibrant and energetic atmosphere. The venue itself is stylish with contemporary decor and sleek design. The staff were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic.
What truly sets Flight Club apart from other dart venues is their innovative and interactive approach to the game. Their state-of-the-art dartboards are equipped with cutting-edge technology that not only keeps score automatically but also introduces a whole new level of excitement to the game. The digital displays and fun animations made each throw feel like an adventure, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.
One of the highlights of our outing was the wide range of dart games available to play. Flight Club offers a diverse selection of games and each game offered its own unique challenges and opportunities for friendly competition.
Even as non-professional players, we found ourselves fully immersed in the gameplay. The games were designed in a way that allowed everyone to participate and have fun, regardless of their dart skills. It was refreshing to see the camaraderie and friendly banter that developed as we cheered each other on and celebrated every successful shot.
The food and drink options were outstanding, offering a delicious array of snacks and refreshments to keep us fueled throughout our darting adventure. The service was prompt and efficient.
Thank you, Flight Club Bloomsbury, for creating such an incredible experience that left us with...
Read moreBuzzing and amazing vibes! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here a couple of weeks ago! It was a corporate social event and they catered to our needs beyond expectations.
Just under 5 mins walk from Tottenham court road station, it's along the high street adjacent to MacDonalds. From the reception to the time spent with colleagues, we were truly pampered! Loads to drink and several canapés options.
Then the game itself is so much fun, interactive and competitive 😁
Well marked flooring for various levels of players, beginner, intermediate and pro! Various dart games available and instructor on ground to assist where needed!
There are 2 floors, we used the top floor which is just right by the entrance and there is the basement which hosts larger groups. Great value for money in my opinion if you are looking for both good entertainment and a relaxing atmosphere.
The bar has loads of drink options but mostly alcoholic, there are fewer options for the non alcoholic lovers but still available.
There are a few flights of stairs to conquer when going to the basement and toilets but nothing exhausting. Well lit and quaint decor. I would highly recommend it for team building, birthday...
