Edinburgh to get Boom Battle Bar adventure venue with electric darts and beer pong

A new Boom Battle Bar is coming to Edinburgh complete with a host of games and activities.

The adventure bar offers pub goers the opportunity to grab a bite to eat and a drink whilst enjoying crazy games like Bavarian axe-throwing, crazier golf, electric darts, and beer pong.

The bars are opening up across the UK and Edinburgh Live can reveal that the City of Edinburgh Council has approved one to open in the Omni Centre in Leith.

Two new units will be redeveloped at the Omni Centre, with Boom: Battle Bar operating in premises recently vacated by the Filling Station restaurant, while the old Frankie and Benny’s is to be taken over too.

The plans show large floor areas for pool tables, dart boards, shuffleboards, beer pong, golf, axe-lanes and a bar and service area.

The premises will be strictly over 18 only and identification will be required for entry.

Boom: Battle Bar are leading the way in the new competitive socialising market in the UK.

So far for 2021 they have announced openings in Lakeside, Oxford, Algate East, Wandsworth, Eastbourne, Swindon, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Spokesperson Elliott Shuttleworth said: “The Boom brand is set to become the leading competitive socialising offering in the UK.

"We have secured some of best prime retail space that has meant we have had to invest a huge amount of money to accelerate our growth plans. We have had incredible demand for Booms from prospective franchisees and are currently signing up new franchisees on a weekly basis."

The City of Edinburgh Council granted permission to the developer AGD Six Ltd for the new ventures at the Omni Centre on July 5.
