Melbourne, your next night out, has a competitive streak. La Di Darts opens on Thursday 19 November at 590 Little Bourke Street, bringing real darts, cocktails and a little old-school glamour to the ground floor of Holey Moley Golf Club.
Powered by Funlab, the masterminds behind Holey Moley, Strike Bowling, Archie Brothers and Hijinx Hotel, La Di Darts gives the classic pub game a stylish new setting. Think private booths, chaise lounges and drinks delivered straight to your seat, with friendly rivalry very much encouraged.
Across five private dart oches and booths, guests can take on more than 10 game modes, with augmented gameplay and automatic scoring keeping track of every throw. Whether you’re a seasoned player or relying entirely on beginner’s luck, it’s easy to get involved. Sessions run for 60 or 90 minutes, with prices starting from $17; ideal for date nights, after-work catchups and finding out who can back up their big talk.
Two bars and a menu of crowd-pleasing bites give guests plenty of reason to settle in. The star of the drinks list is the signature Peacock Party, a mix of White Rum, tropical fruits and mint, served in a show-stopping peacock glass that brings a little theatre to the table. Plus, booth service means nobody must abandon a winning streak to order another drink. Once the scores are settled, stay at the bar or take the rivalry upstairs for 18 holes of Holey Moley mini golf.
“With the party season just around the corner, La Di Darts is arriving in Melbourne at exactly the right time,” says Blaise Witnish, CEO, Funlab. “Competitive socialising is all about connection. It gets people off their phones and playing together, and darts is the perfect game for that because anyone can pick it up in seconds.”
For those planning the office Christmas party or an end-of-year get-together, multiple private event spaces and packages starting from $52 per person make it easy to get the group together. Guests can combine darts downstairs with mini golf upstairs, giving the celebrations a little more to play for.
A short stroll from Southern Cross Station, La Di Darts will open Monday to Thursday from 11am to 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 11am to 1am, and Sunday from 11am to 10pm. After 8pm Sunday to Thursday, minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult. After 8pm Friday and Saturday, the venue is strictly 18+ with valid ID.
