The game of darts has long been a staple of British pubs, but a new bar headed to Houston aims to give the common sport a decidedly fashionable revamp.
Flight Club, which will open up later on this 12 months at 3515 West Dallas Road, has revolutionized the iconic bar recreation into some thing they phone “social darts” — with a digitized recreation board, 4 various guided types of engage in, and the capacity for large teams to play at the moment. (Darts is customarily a two-individual recreation.) The “social darts” established-up also enables players to throw from a few different traces: rookie, which is closest to the board, regular, and professional.
A touch monitor at each individual match station will let customers to “ring” a server for the table. The menu, created by Chicago chef Rich Gresh, includes dishes like yuzu guacamole, truffle fries, steak frites skewers, flatbreads and other snacks. On the booze front, assume fancy cocktails like the Royal Lion, produced with green tea-infused gin, English breakfast tea and East India sherry, and the Iguana, made with Jamaican rum and hibiscus liqueur. There is also a variety of non-alcoholic cocktails, as perfectly as craft beer and wine.
Flight Club acquired its begin in the United Kingdom, exactly where its father or mother corporation also owns a very similar bar, Electric powered Shuffle, targeted on digitized shuffleboard. There are two other Flight Club spots in the US — Boston and Chicago, — and earlier this month, Eater Dallas reported that an Electric Shuffle would be opening shortly in that city’s Deep Ellum neighborhood.
The Houston location of Flight Club will be positioned in the brand name new Regent Sq. development at Dunlavy and Dallas Streets. Stay tuned to Eater for a more specific opening date.
