The first rule of the Flight Club is to have a good time.
It is one of the most consistent places I can head to for a good cocktail, tasty food, and quality venue for group fun and adult mingling. The service has always been spot on, the venue is gorgeous, and it's a place I can count on for a great time practically every time.
The one thing they offer that practically no other place does is social darts. It is an interactive, elevated version of darts that combines a social experience with gaming fun. It's an ideal place to bring a work group, club, and friends. Something important to note is that children are not allowed after 6pm, as young ones under 12 are not allowed to throw darts.
The place is very upscale and has the feel of an intimate, yet large lounge that just happens to have darts. The various spaces around the place are to be reserved ahead of time, which can be done online or over the phone. Even if one came here just to sit at the bar or chill in a lounge seat, it's actually a really cool place to people watch.
For food and drink, it's all been very impressive. Their selection of cocktails is potent and pretty. The lynx has been a favorite, as well as the galago, and royal lion. The bartenders are good about making it very stiff and they've been consistent with the presentation each time.
On a food front, it's essentially tapas with an elevated edge, which is a huge step above the usual bar fare. Their crab elote dip is addicting, the mini tacos are truly small but flavorful and the cookie tower is a photo-op on its own. As basic as fries sound, the parmesan and truffle oil make it one of the easiest things to eat. While I don't care much for the fried dumplings, skewers or flatbreads, I am sure they're still a hit with the crowd.
Flight Club might be an international chain (Australia mainly) but I'm so happy they've finally landed in Houston.
