Our pick of the best game bars in London🎯

Who wants to go to a normal bar when you can go to one and play some serious games?

We have put together a list of fab bars where you can have some real fun, playing games such as crazy golf, beer pong and even ice skating!

Fair Game

The new kid on the block and recently opened in Canary Wharf, Fair Game is already one of our favourites. A digital fairground like you have never seen, you pay a one-off fee of £15 each and get to play all the games twice, using your wristband to log your games and scores. As well as games you will find delicious food such as pizzas and burgers and a full bar serving drinks including lush cocktails. Make sure you book in advance as it can be booked up pretty fast.

The Glitch Bar

The Glitch Club is in Shoreditch and offers arcade games such as air hockey, table tennis, bubble ice hockey and a dance stage but the main attraction is the Glitch raceway. The 10-driver motor racing experience sees you get behind the wheel and race your little car around the track to live commentary while attempting to beat your friends.

Junkyard Golf

Think crazy golf with flashing and UV lights and loud music and you have Junkyard Golf. You can pick between four 9-hole golf courses called Bozo, Pablo, Dirk and Gary – we kid you not.

You can buy all the usual suspects from the bar as well as a range of cool cocktails that will not look out of place on Instagram. Choose between Ribena Turner, Hotline Ting, Porn in the U.S.A, Drank U, Next and Fairway to Heaven.

This super fun bar is in Hackney and is open every day, but opening times vary.

Flight Club

This cool darts bar has 4 locations in London: Bloomsbury, Islington, Victoria and Shoreditch. Make your booking at Flight Club and you will receive your own darts area on your arrival, enter all your details on the screen and you can then start playing. The alcohol may make you better or worse at the game but that is half the fun! The bar offers a cocktail of the month as well as offers on fizz. You can also enjoy pizzas and fries while you play.

Electric Shuffle

This great bar is like Flight Club but with shuffleboard instead of darts. Your semi-private space makes social distancing super easy, leaving you with nothing to worry about apart from being top of the leader board. You can pre-order drinks, so they are waiting for you when you arrive and top up more as you play, as well as add food if you wish. Don’t fancy shuffleboard? No problem you can book in for drinks only.

Electric Shuffle is in Canary Wharf and London Bridge and is open daily from 11:30 am.

Foosball Club

We first knew foosball was a big deal while watching the sitcom Friends and now there is a whole bar dedicated to it. Team playing table football with drinks and pizzas and you have yourself one fun evening. There are even official Foosball rules which you can find on their website, make sure you're equipped with all the knowledge you need. You order your food and drinks from an app and the Foosball Club staff will bring your order to you.

Queens Skate Dine Bowl
