What it’s like
An 18+ retro arcade bar in Soho with UV pool and AR darts, worth knowing about for a childfree night rather than a family day out.
Retro cabinets, UV pool tables and augmented reality darts fill the place, all running on a token system so you can pick and choose what you fancy rather than paying one flat fee. Consoles are free to play if you'd rather sit with a drink and let someone else queue for the machines.
It's card only, so don't turn up assuming you can pay cash, and they're strict on ID too: a physical passport or driving licence, not a photo of one on your phone. Food is limited to crisps and sweet snacks at the bar, so this is a drinks-and-games stop rather than somewhere to eat properly. Entry's free most of the time, but it gets paid after 9pm Thursday and Friday and after 8pm on Saturday, which is worth factoring in if you're planning a later start.
Since it's 18+ throughout, with no exceptions, this one sits outside the usual family day out territory. Mention it if you're a parent after a night out with a mate rather than the kids, or if you're sorting a birthday do that doesn't involve small people. The party packages start from £26 a head for tokens and drinks, with the option to go up to a gold package for a third drink.
The venue's accessible too, with a lift down to the lower floor and an accessible toilet, which is a decent detail for a Soho basement bar to have sorted.

Plan your visit

Can I pay with cash?
Card only, so leave the cash at home.
What ID do I need?
A physical, in-date passport or driving licence. A photo of one on your phone won't get you in.
