What it’s like

Adults-only bar for interactive darts, live sport and gigs, open from 10am with cocktails on the go all day.

This one's for the adults. All events here run 18+, so it's a booking for you and your mates rather than a family outing. The draw is the interactive darts, plus live music nights and big screens for the football and the rugby.

Doors open at 10am and the place runs late, with breakfast served until noon and mains from midday through to 8pm (Sundays it's 5pm to 8pm for mains, alongside a Sunday lunch). Cocktails are on the menu all day, which is either a treat or a trap depending on how disciplined you're feeling at 11am. Tables are first-come first-served, so turning up early on a weekend is the safer bet.

One thing to know: there's no table bookings on England or NUFC match days, so if you're planning around a big game, get there early or expect to be standing. The darts itself is worth building an evening around rather than treating as a quick add-on.
