Flight Club Melbourne

Taking Bookings

At Flight Club Melbourne, darts take on a whole new level of excitement. With a mix of nostalgic gameplay and futuristic, self-scoring dartboards, this social space is designed to be as much about fun as it is about friendly competition.

Challenge friends to multiplayer mini-games, where the tech does all the scoring, while you focus on your aim. Hungry? Choose from a wide selection of sharable plates, hearty pizzas, and delicious cocktails. The venue also serves up a well-curated list of local and global beers, wines, and spirits to keep the fun flowing.

Alcotraz Melbourne Alcotraz Melbourne: Cell Block Five-Nine-Two

Looking for a quirky night out for your birthday? Then check out Alcotraz Melbourne: Cell Block Five-Nine-Two, located on Elizabeth Street. This prison-themed cocktail bar promises a fun, immersive experience that sees you locked up in a cell.

You'll work with the corrupt guards to get past the warden and swap contraband, and the inmate bartenders will whip up four cocktails for you. You'll also receive your own identity and backstory for the day, and be given an orange jumpsuit to wear.

Planning a big bash but have a few different groups to think about? Hardimans Hotel serves pub classics, wood-fired pizzas plus all the cocktails. With that combo, both the uni crew and your partner's pals can dine together in harmony.

Dancers and night owls listen up, as your best place to celebrate a birthday in Melbourne might be in Sub Club. Head to the basement dancefloor and soak up eclectic mixes by some of the world's finest purveyors of techno, dub and house music.

Sip some highballs, grab a tasty jaffle and toast someone's special day in style at Bad Frankie. We love the inventive cocktail menu which boasts a load of quirky mixes like the Golden Flip, made of butter vodka, wattle toffee liqueur and a whole egg.
