I don't understand. How is there not a Flight Club anywhere in New York?! This is a disservice towards the fun and excitement you and a group of chums can have at a place like this, which is what I did on my recent Boston bachelor party weekend.
What is Flight Club you ask? Well there's an "L" in that initial word so the first rule isn't that I can't talk about it (har har). What I should be explaining is the awesome vintage carnival-esque atmosphere. I really should be chatting about the casual setup and comfortable hangout feel. I should be mentioning the tasty quality food and drinks. But most importantly, I probably should actually state that it's all about darts!
That's right folks. This is a dart bar, but not anything you've seen before. It's not one dart board in the corner of a dark-lit dive spot with missing/broken darts. This is the real deal! You'll walk in and get your own lane for 90 minutes to throw some daggers (they're actual sharp darts) at a board all your own. The coolest part of it all is that there are several different types of games you can play with your group and the real dart board will legit keep score. Yeah, every once and a while it might register a dart that missed, but this was few and far between. The massive amounts of fun definitely filled in those spots.
What also filled in the fun were the aforementioned food and drinks. We all chose to start with one of Flight Club's signature cocktails, each named after an intriguing animal (I went for the Capuchin which had mezcal and an ancho Chile liqueur for a delicious sweet-heat combo). Besides the alcohol, their food options were outstandingly tasty. Sliders, pork buns, and a flatbread were three of the flavorful items we chose, though the true highlight was the lobster elote dip. Creamy, corny, and tender with chunks of lobster meat served with thick chips for dipping. Man oh man was that stuff great.
Overall, Flight Club is incredibly fun and enjoyable. There's just a lot to love between the drinks, good food. and the actual darts. Even my novice dart-throwing friends enjoyed themselves and said they'd come here again. So what are you waiting for, New York? We need one of these places now!!
