Arrowsmiths, O'Neill's Bromley, 27-29 East Street · BR1 1QE · Mo-Th 12:00-00:00; Fr-Sa 12:00-02:00; Su 12:00-00:00

Arrowsmiths is a digital darts bar tucked inside O'Neill's on East Street in central Bromley, a short walk from Bromley North station. You book an oche, pick a game, and the electronic boards handle all the scoring, so it works whether you can hit a treble 20 or have never thrown a dart. It is built for groups and nights out rather than solo practice, with each oche seating up to nine people. Expect to pay from £9 per person for a 90-minute session midweek (a bit more at the weekend), and you order food and drinks straight from the screen without leaving your lane. One thing worth knowing up front: it is strictly over 18s, so leave the kids at home and bring ID if you look young.

The darts setup

This is interactive darts, not a traditional board on a pub wall. You play in an oche, a self-contained booth with an electronic dartboard and a screen that runs the games and keeps score for you. No chalk, no arguments about the maths. Each oche takes up to nine people, so it suits a decent-sized group rather than a quiet pint for two. You pick from a range of on-screen games that go well beyond standard 501, which keeps things moving when not everyone is a serious player. Because the scoring is automatic, beginners can jump straight in and still feel like they are in the game.

Good to know

Sessions run for 90 minutes and you book a slot rather than just rocking up, with a deposit to secure it. Pricing starts at £9 per person Monday to Thursday and Sunday, rising to around £11 on Friday and Saturday, and longer sessions can be arranged on request. Arrowsmiths says it tries to fit in walk-ins, but booking ahead is the safe move at busy times. Food and drink come from the O'Neill's kitchen and bar, and you can order both straight from the screen at your oche. The venue is over 18s only, with an alcohol licence running to midnight midweek and later at the weekend.
