Club Curling

@ Coal Drops Yard on Various dates from Friday 27th December 2024

After outdoor activities in King's Cross? Coal Drops Yard's Club Curling is a great pick this winter, as you can take to these icy lanes to try your hand at the sport. But that's not all, as they take bookings for groups of up to six people from only £9 each. 

The seasonal pop-up is back this year with festive lanes and neon magic from the legends at God's Own Junkyard. They've even partnered with @RealHackneyDave on a custom sign that proudly declares, 'King's Cross Is Always A Good Idea.' Round up your crew, head to Coal Drops Yard, and enjoy DJ beats, a cocktail bar, and curling galore.

Happy Face King’s Cross

Sister venues Happy Face and SUPERMAX offer you two very different experiences of Italy, the former being an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria with 72-hour proved dough and the latter a 70s-inspired Italian cocktail bar specialising in Vermouth. Combine the two to pair cocktails and slices as a top choice of things to do in the area, just shy of Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square. 

The Star of Kings

The Star of Kings is an atmospheric boozer near King's Cross that hosts a wealth of events throughout the week. Not only does it serve cracking food courtesy of Breddos Tacos but it also provides fabulous entertainment in the form of its Tuesday night quiz and karaoke. Entry for the former is £2 per person and rounds include pictures, music and more.
