Flight Club, an entertainment venue brand founded in London in 2015 with its U.S. headquarters in Chicago, opened its latest outlet in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood at the end of March. Flight Club is known for its Social Darts experience—a tech-forward, multiplayer take on darts with real-time scoring. The company has locations across the country and provides on-site dining and private event rentals for corporate gatherings, team building, and happy hours.
“Seattle has long been on our wish list, particularly South Lake Union, where its dynamic mix of tech, hospitality, and culture creates a consistent demand for shared social experiences,” says Toby Harris, president and CEO of State of Play Hospitality (Chicago-based owner/operator of Flight Club’s North American portfolio), in a prepared statement. “Flight Club was created to bring people together through competitive, engaging gameplay in a beautiful environment that works as well for team outings as it does for a night out with friends.”
Flight Club Seattle can host groups of up to 270 people with a full venue buyout, and individual semiprivate event spaces include the Tahoma and Olympia rooms and the bar area, each of which accommodates 60 people. Planners can customize food and drink offerings for their event, and unlimited gameplay is included with bookings. There are two designated dining packages available: the Classic Food Package, where groups can choose two small plates, two flatbreads, and two shareables; and the Elite Food Package, which includes three small plates, three flatbreads, three shareables, and one dessert. Enhancements are available for either package selection, such as charcuterie boards, crab cake bites, and lobster rolls. There also are drink packages available on a per-person basis, and Flight Club Seattle has custom event-design options for planners to incorporate company logos and branding into the decor.
Flight Club locations all feature an interior design reminiscent of 19th-century British pubs, with added elements of Victorian-era fairgrounds, including rich wood finishes, whimsical carousel horses, and marquee lighting. The Seattle location is Flight Club’s 11th outlet in the U.S., and three more will be coming soon in Dallas, Minneapolis, and New York City. It also has outlets throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia.
