Looking for a night out in Glasgow that's a little more interactive than your average bar? We headed to Flight Club Glasgow to see whether its unique combination of Social Darts, sharing plates and cocktails lives up to the hype.
The concept
began in 2012 when co-founders Steve Moore and Paul Barham spotted
a group of young people completely engrossed in a game of darts in
a Devon pub. Inspired by the energy and excitement surrounding the
game, they set out to reinvent darts for a new generation, creating
what is now known as Social Darts: a tech-powered experience
designed to bring people together through friendly competition,
great food and drinks. The first venue opened in Shoreditch, London
in 2015 and has since grown into an international
success.
Today, the Glasgow venue brings that vision to life in one of the city's most entertaining social spaces, blending a fun-filled atmosphere, creative cocktails and interactive gameplay that keeps everyone involved.
Flight Club is all about social darts on their interactive boards.

Menu Highlights
Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
-
Spicy Chicken (£10) – Topped with tomato salsa, smashed avocado, jalapeño cream and coriander, this plate brought plenty of flavour with just the right level of heat.
- Korean chicken (£10) – Coated in gochujang and served with kimchi slaw and coriander, this was a crowd-pleasing favourite packed with bold flavours.
- Bang bang cauliflower (£9) – Crispy, flavourful and finished with sesame and coriander. A standout vegetarian option that held its own against the chicken dishes.
- Nachos (£12) – Loaded with cheese, guacamole, tomato salsa, candied jalapeños and sour cream, these were made for sharing between games.
- Padrón peppers (£8) – Simple, fresh and sprinkled with sea salt. A great lighter option alongside cocktails.
The Flight Club Glasgow menu is filled with delicious sharing plates.
Drink: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We sampled a selection from the seasonal menu and were impressed by the variety. Fresh, vibrant and packed with summery flavours, these cocktails felt every bit as much a reason to visit as the darts themselves.
- Spring Passion (£7) – Combining passion fruit, lime, mint and Franklin & Sons Raspberry Lemonade, this refreshing summer mocktail was light, fruity and easy-drinking. A highlight of the menu, this was the perfect companion to a competitive afternoon of Social Darts.
