Get ready to aim, throw, and cheer, as Flight Club, the trailblazing bar that has redefined darts for the 21st century, opens its doors February 7th in the heart of Dublin city.
The ultimate destination for 2025, Flight Club Dublin will take up residence on 35/36 Dawson Street, in the former home of Sams Bar and Samsara, located in the bustling centre of the city, promising an experience like no other.
After an extensive €7 Million renovation, the 8,000 sq/ft venue is like nothing seen in the capital before. Featuring semi-private oches (darts areas) and fairground-inspired décor to a dazzling 360 degree bar and a menu packed with crowd-pleasing small plates, artisan pizzas, and spectacular cocktails, this venue is tailor-made for unforgettable experiences with friends.
The extensive cocktail menu features signature creations and classic favourites, crafted with a twist. From spicy margaritas to espresso martinis, not forgetting the always classic old fashioned, there is a choice for all cocktail enthusiasts. Not to be forgotten is Flight Club’s famous show-stopping trophy cocktail served in a stunning trophy cup— an ideal way to toast the Social Darts champions!
Promising patrons unexpected, ridiculous, joy, Flight Club Dublin seamlessly blends the cozy charm of a traditional pub with the vibrant energy of a fairground, creating an atmosphere that’s as inviting as it is exciting. The décor takes cues from Dublin’s rich culture, with nods to the city’s heritage woven throughout.

Every nook and cranny is brimming with antique treasures and quirky trinkets designed to surprise and delight—from walls adorned with clocks and barometers of all shapes and sizes to reclaimed antique furniture and a whimsical fairground carousel horse. The pièce de resistance is of course Flight Club’s iconic phone booth, a must-visit spot for snapping those Instagram-perfect selfies. Every detail is designed to create a space where fun and nostalgia meet modern-day magic.
First-time visitors should leave any preconceptions about darts at the door as Flight Club’s high-tech Social Darts is set to revolutionise the way Dubliners think about this classic game.
Developed alongside Dr. Jason Dale, a former NASA astrophysicist, who worked tirelessly to take the complicated maths element out of the beloved activity, resulting in a totally unique, and ever-evolving, concept. With built-in cameras to track your every throw, live replays flashing across the screen, and shareable highlights sent straight to your phone, Flight Club brings the classic game to new, interactive heights.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a total beginner, the fast-paced, multiplayer format guarantees plenty of laughs and competitive spirit— with no complicated scorekeeping required! With 6 continuously evolving immersive games to explore, and the ability to cater to 12 people around an oche, and up to 500 players in an epic tournament style hosted by an expert Gamesmaster, Flight Club is the perfect location to catch up with friends and cater to larger corporate events.
Flight Club Dublin isn’t just about darts; it’s about creating an experience to remember. Epic DJ sets, vibrant décor, a bustling dancefloor and masterful mixology will keep you and your crew entertained long after the last dart has landed.
The Dublin opening not only marks the brand’s Irish debut but also the first Flight Club opening of its milestone 10th year in business—a true bullseye moment for the globally celebrated brand.
The introduction of Flight Club to Ireland is brought to life in partnership with the Loyola Group, operators of multiple hospitality establishments across Ireland and Portugal, and backed by Irish entrepreneur Barry McGrath.
On the ground, the Irish arm is headed up by none other than Andrew Fisher, former Manager of House Dublin, who brings years of experience from a host of the city’s beloved venues to this exciting new launch. Known for his knack for creating unforgettable guest experiences and his deep connection to Dublin’s nightlife scene, Andrew is poised to spearhead Flight Club Dublin’s mission to deliver “unexpected, ridiculous, joy” to every visitor.
“As someone who’s passionate about Dublin’s vibrant social scene, I couldn’t be more excited to introduce Flight Club to Ireland. This is more than a bar—it’s a place to create memories, celebrate with friends, and embrace the magic of Social Darts. We’re thrilled to bring something truly unique to Dawson Street.” – said Andrew Fisher.
Stephen Cooney, Director and co-founder of Loyola Group, shared his excitement: “We are thrilled to be opening the first Flight Club in Dublin on 7th February. We met Steve (Moore) and Paul (Barham), founders of Flight Club, some five years ago. During this time, we have watched Flight Club grow into one of the biggest and most exciting social entertainment businesses worldwide. We have worked patiently to find the perfect location for Ireland’s first Flight Club. Dawson Street, Dublin 2 is a fitting address for Flight Club and together with the Red Engine team we will deliver a unique and thrilling venue that Dublin has been waiting for!”
