Coventry
What it’s like
Axe throwing, crazy golf and karaoke booths with street food and cocktails, but this one's strictly for the grown-ups after 7pm.
This is one for the adults, not the kids. Boom Battle Bar Coventry is a card-only games bar built around axe throwing, augmented reality darts, shuffleboard, beer pong, crazier golf and American pool, plus karaoke booths if you fancy embarrassing yourself in front of your mates. Under 18s are allowed in before 7pm if they're with an adult, but after that it's 18+ only, so this isn't a bookable afternoon out with the kids in the way most of the venues on here are.
The games are walk-in friendly in theory, but the site is upfront that slots aren't guaranteed without booking ahead, which is worth knowing if you've got your heart set on the axe throwing on a Saturday night. That axe throwing comes with one sensible catch: no alcohol until you're done, which feels like the right call given you're handing out actual axes.
Food and drink run alongside the games, with street food and a long cocktail list, and the kitchen hours roughly match the venue's own. Prices start at £27.50 for the Boom Bundles, and there's an 18+ Big Boom Brunch at £35 with 90 minutes of bottomless drinks if arrive on time, since the clock doesn't stop for latecomers. It's card only throughout, so leave the cash at home.
Parking's free around Broadgate with disabled spaces in Salt Lane car park, and Coventry Station is about ten minutes on foot if you're coming by train. Birthday parties get two games and a round of drinks, and the birthday person goes free if your group is six or more, which makes it a decent shout for a big grown-up birthday rather than a kids' party.
