Nordic Bar Fitzrovia: Darts in London
Nordic Bar is a Viking-themed sports bar just off Oxford Street in Fitzrovia, and its interactive darts is the easy way to get a group throwing without joining a league or hunting for a free pub board. You book the darts area in advance for up to 6 people at £9 each, and the boards handle the scoring for you, so nobody needs to remember how to count down from 501. It suits after-work crews, birthdays and anyone who wants a few games with a drink in hand rather than a serious match. The single most useful thing to know: this is a paid, bookable session, not a walk-up pub board, so reserve your slot before you turn up. Around the darts you get cocktails, Nordic beers and Scandinavian food, plus beer pong and arcade games if the arrows go cold.
The darts setup
This is interactive darts rather than a traditional pub oche. The boards run automatic scoring and several game modes, so you pick a format on screen and the system tracks everyone's totals while you play. That takes the maths out of it and keeps a mixed-ability group moving, which is the point here. You reserve the darts area for up to 6 people, so it works best as a shared session where you rotate through rather than a head-to-head with strangers. If you want a casual, social throw with mates instead of a competitive singles match against a chalkboard, this is built for exactly that.
Good to know
Darts is £9 per person and you book the area ahead through the venue's booking widget, for groups of up to 6. This is a reserved session, so do not rely on walking in and finding a free board. The bar leans into its Scandinavian theme: Swedish meatballs, Pytt i Panna, burgers and sharing platters on the food side, plus Nordic beers, wines and cocktails to drink. There are big screens for live sport, beer pong, retro arcade machines and a shot wheel, so the darts slots into a wider night out rather than being the only thing on.
Getting there
Nordic Bar sits at 25 Newman Street in Fitzrovia, W1T 1PN, a short walk from Oxford Street in the West End. The nearest tube is Tottenham Court Road, with Oxford Circus and Goodge Street also within easy walking distance. Hours skew toward evenings and late nights: it opens at 16:00 Monday to Friday (closing midnight early week, 02:00 Thursday and Friday) and from noon at weekends, with Saturday running to 02:00 and Sunday winding down by 22:30. Aim your darts booking at an evening slot and you can roll it straight into food, drinks and the rest of the games.
