Flight Club Cardiff

One of the best activity bars for big kids in Cardiff, Flight Club is bringing its signature brand of revolutionised darts to the city centre. The venue, found on Mary Street, is themed after a retro fairground, featuring carousel horses, golden draped curtains and circus lighting - not to mention, of course, plenty of oches where you can practice hitting bullseye.

While you play one of the fun games using the interactive scoreboards, make sure to check out the fantastic menu of sourdough pizzas, sharing platters and small plates, as well as the fun lineup of cocktails. The Lady Luck, a long drink, is a heady blend of hibiscus-infused vodka, strawberry liqueur, basil and lemon. Every weekend, you can also join them for their Brunch Socials, which include a bottle of prosecco and unlimited pizza.

Boom Battle Bar Cardiff

You'll find Boom Battle Bar in The Old Brewery Quarter providing revellers with a cracking night out. Here in the city centre, you'll find a fantastic range of games, like crazier golf, augmented reality darts and axe throwing, that'll bring out your inner child.

When you're not going head to head at the games, check out the menu of tasty grub - think loaded nachos, juicy burgers, fiery wings and so much more, all paired with freshly pulled pints or cocktails.

Treetop Golf Cardiff

WOW! Double the fun! Add another 18 holes for only £6 per Guest and 2 other offers

Whether you're looking for quirky date ideas or a fun day out with mates, Treetop Golf is the mini-golf wonderland you need to check out. Inspired by the Amazon rainforest, this fun activity for big kids in Cardiff city centre transports you to a luscious jungle complete with two indoor 18-hole courses that'll test your skills.

Steer past local plants and wildlife to try and get a hole-in-one. And if you're in need of some refreshment, make sure to check out the Pizza Cabana, the Thirsty Toucan Bar or the Jungle Buzz Cafe. Here, you'll find delicious pizzas, tasty melts and fun cocktails, such as the Monkey Mojito, made with rum, lime and fresh mint.

NQ64 Cardiff

There's no better place to relive your childhood dreams than at NQ64. This place first started out in Manchester in 2019, and has since expanded across the UK, with a vibrant, neon graffiti-splattered venue on St Mary Street in Cardiff city centre. This adults-only arcade is home to all the retro games you remember, including Time Crisis, Pac-Man and Guitar Hero, with old school consoles such as Super Nintendo and PlayStations available to play on too.

The fun doesn't stop there though, as this joint also boasts a quirky menu of games-themed cocktails. One of our favourites is the Aku Aku Fruit Punch, featuring Takamaka pineapple and Havana Club rums, peach and banana. Better yet, this place is open until 2am every night (and 3am on the weekends) so you can play until your heart's content.
