Tired of the same old pub nights? If you're on the hunt for unforgettable things to do with your crew in Birmingham and the West Midlands, you’re in the right place. From high-tech virtual darts to foot-powered golf, this is your ultimate guide to the region’s must-try social activities. Let’s dive in!
 


Flight Club

Where: Temple Street, Birmingham

Flight Club has taken darts out of the crowded pub corner and turned it into a full-blown event. Think cocktails, high-tech scoring, team games, and stunning décor. Even if your aim is questionable, the vibes are on point.
 

 

Playground at Lane7 Bullring

Where: Bullring, Birmingham

What if your body became the game controller? At Playground inside Lane7 Bullring, you’ll jump, dance, dodge, and flail (gracefully, of course) through six interactive games inspired by retro arcade glory. It’s nostalgic, chaotic fun that’ll have everyone laughing.
 


Toca Social

Where: Bullring, Birmingham

Toca Social lets you test your shooting skills on high-tech interactive pitches, all while feeding you gourmet snacks and cocktails. Whether you’re Messi or just a mess, the games are fun, the drinks are flowing, and the energy is unmatched.


Sixes Birmingham

Where: The Mailbox, Birmingham

If you’ve ever wanted to smash cricket balls without wearing all-white or knowing the rules, Sixes is for you. Step into the batting cages, swing for the fences, then chill on the canal-side terrace with a pint. What’s not to love?
 


Clays Birmingham

Where: Temple Street, Birmingham

Clays reinvents clay shooting with virtual guns, semi-private pegs, and a drinks menu that’s much fancier than anything you’d find in the woods. Ideal for date night, mate night, or proving once and for all who’s got the best aim in the group.
 


Golf Fang

Where: Digbeth, Birmingham

This place is bonkers - in the best way. 18 outrageous holes, street art on every wall, DJs, cocktails, and more neon than a 90s rave. Expect UV lights, weird props, and the kind of chaotic energy that turns “just one drink” into “we’re staying all night.”
 


F1® Arcade Birmingham

Where: Chamberlain Square, Birmingham

Ever wanted to be an F1 driver but lacked the funds (or the talent)? F1® Arcade lets you live the dream without risking your no-claims bonus. With full-motion racing simulators, insane visuals, and a bar that serves Champagne and mocktails, this place is pole-position-level fun.


Footgolf at War Memorial Park

Where: War Memorial Park, Coventry

Golf is too slow. Football is too sweaty. Footgolf is the sweet spot in between. Kick your way around a proper course with massive holes (finally, some forgiveness!), and no booking needed.
 


Teamworks Karting

Where: Digbeth, Birmingham

If you like speed, competition, and the feeling of being on the brink of drifting into a tyre wall, Teamworks Karting is your next stop. This is Birmingham’s only city-centre go-kart track, and it’s got some of the fastest indoor karts in the UK. Helmet hair is basically a badge of honour.
