Flight Club Puts a Bullseye on Upscale, Tech-enabled Social Darts®
On Friday, January 31st, 2025, get ready for a new way to play darts and enjoy the upscale nightlife in St. Louis. Flight Club is set to open in Clayton that night. State of Play Hospitality is bringing Flight Club, its upscale, tech-enabled Social Darts® concept, to St. Louis.
Inspired by the rich British heritage of darts, and featuring creative craft cocktails and upscale cuisine, Flight Club, a unique and upscale Social Darts® concept, is aiming for the bullseye with its new location in Clayton, at 7710 Forsyth Blvd. This will mark the brand's 8th North American location.
Flight Club evokes the warm and welcoming atmosphere of a British Pub accented by charming decor reminiscent of 19th century England. The bespoke and unique venue design also draws from the whimsical, playful aesthetic of Victorian-era fairgrounds which enhances the joy guests will experience through the gameplay.
Guests can indulge in a curated selection of cocktails made with premium spirits or explore an enticing array of mocktails. Highlights include the rich and bold Espresso Old Fashioned—crafted with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, espresso, vanilla, and chocolate bitters—or the zesty Oaxacan Seaglass, featuring house-infused green chili Banhez Mezcal, lychee, lime, and ginger. Complement your drinks with shareable, globally inspired bites like Lobster Elote Dip or Mini Beef Barbacoa Tacos topped with creamy cilantro crema.
Launched under license in the U.S. in 2018 by State of Play Hospitality, a leading international social entertainment operator, Flight Club combines craft cocktails and elevated cuisine with its signature fast-paced, technology-driven Social Darts® experience. Guests will enjoy highly engaging gameplay in a stunning design-led environment.
At the core of Flight Club’s gameplay is its proprietary scoring software, which has revolutionized the traditional game of darts with advanced tracking. Developed by a NASA scientist, the technology automates scoring and powers a variety of thrilling multiplayer games for groups of up to 300 players. When you win, an instant-replay camera captures your final throw and displays it on screen, so you and your friends can relive the moment.
”St. Louis has so many of the qualities we look for in a city including a strong sense of civic pride and an impressive and diverse food and entertainment culture,” said Toby Harris, Chief Executive Officer of State of Play Hospitality. “Opening in Clayton is a wonderful opportunity for us to bring the joy of Flight Club to a second Midwest market and hopefully it will become a leading entertainment destination within the city.”
Flight Club specializes in catering to celebrations, corporate get-togethers, and more, offering replenishing food and beverage packages. The St. Louis location will feature 6,250 square feet of indoor space with 8 semi-private playing areas ideal for adult groups of all sizes and abilities. The venue also boasts a large, covered patio which will be ideal for the warmer months.
Since launching its first U.S. location in Chicago in 2018, State of Play Hospitality has opened further venues in Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Denver, Washington D.C. and now St. Louis. The opening Flight Club St. Louis will be soon followed by another new venue in Philadelphia, expanding the brand's footprint across North America to nine locations.
