Boom Battle Bar Bath
Boom Battle Bar is a games-led bar in the Kingsmead Leisure Complex on James Street West, where a round of axe throwing or crazier golf comes with street food and cocktails. It is built for groups, birthdays and nights out rather than a quiet drink.

Games to book
The line-up covers axe throwing, augmented reality darts, crazier golf, shuffleboard, American pool and beer pong, plus private Boom Box karaoke booths. Each game is booked separately online, so you can build an evening around one activity or mix a few. A 'date night' package pairs AR darts with a round of golf. Lanes and tables are bookable in slots, which keeps things moving for bigger groups and lets you plan a set time.
Food, drink and parties
Food is a street-food menu with smaller Boom Bites for sharing, alongside a full drinks list. The Big Boom Brunch adds cocktails to the games, and there are cocktail masterclasses, birthday packages and hen and stag 'battles' for larger groups. Food and drinks menus can be downloaded from the venue's website before you go, which helps when organising for a crowd.
Who it suits
Friends, office groups and celebrations get the most out of it. The venue becomes strictly over-18s from 9pm Sunday to Thursday and from 7pm on Fridays and Saturdays, so families should plan an earlier slot. It shares the complex with the ODEON, making dinner, games and a film an easy combination in the centre of Bath. Earlier in the day it is quieter and easier to get a game at short notice.
