Boom Battle Bar Ealing is a competitive socialising spot just off the Broadway, and its augmented reality darts is the easy way in if you fancy a throw without the pub-league seriousness. You stand at one of three lanes and chuck real darts at a real board, while smart tracking clocks exactly where each one lands and does all the scoring for you. No chalk, no arguments. It runs at £10 a head for a 55-minute session, lanes take one to eight players, and it works best as a group thing. This is a paid, bookable venue rather than a free pub board, so reserve ahead, especially at weekends. There is plenty else under one roof too, plus a proper bar, which makes it a solid pick for a birthday, a work do, or a low-key date.

The darts setup

There are three darts lanes here, and they run on augmented reality rather than a chalkboard. You throw real darts at a real board, but the system uses smart tracking to read where each dart sticks and updates the score instantly, so nobody has to do the maths. That opens up game modes you would not get on a standard board, including Killer and a Disco Wall mode, with graphics playing out on screen as you go. Each lane holds one to eight players, so it scales from a pair up to a decent-sized group. Beginners are well covered because the scoring is automatic and the formats are built for laughs more than accuracy.

Good to know

AR darts is £10 per person for a 55-minute session, and you should book ahead rather than chance a walk-up, particularly on Friday and Saturday when there is a four-person minimum at peak times. The venue is cashless, so bring a card. It is family-friendly before 7pm with adults present, then strictly 18+ after that, and a Challenge 25 ID policy is in force. Beyond darts you will find axe throwing, crazier golf, shuffleboard, American pool, beer pong and karaoke booths, plus a full bar with house drinks at £5. BOOM Bundles, which pair games with food and drink, start around £27.50 per person.
