Flight Club Liverpool

Flight Club has all the ingredients needed for an epic booze-free experience.

The fairground-inspired bar looks spectacular (think lights blinking in time to the music and an actual carousel horse).

It has a brilliant activity in the form of Social Darts (a high-tech version of the classic game for up to 12 people per play space). There’s a resident DJ for guaranteed party vibes and an impressive selection of low and no-alcohol options on the menu. 

And if you’re a fan of bottomless brunch, Flight Club’s take on the weekend pastime is a great shout if you’re avoiding alcohol. Flight Club’s ‘bottomless’ refers to the unlimited pizza that is continuously brought to your table over the course of the two-hour session.

There’s alcohol-free Prosecco (and standard Prosecco for those who want to make it a boozy affair) and mocktails on offer throughout, plus 60 minutes of Social Darts, all from £30.
