Liverpool's newest darts experience bar HotShots opens to rave reviews

Liverpool’s newest drink, dine, and darts venue, opened last night in Cains Brewery Village, and is already receiving rave reviews from its first customers who hailed the experience as “absolutely brilliant” and “the most fun night out in a long time.”

HotShots has revolutionised darts with nine lanes of high-quality Augmented Reality darting equipment, four interactive darts lanes, shuffleboard, and three stylish bars.

The bars serve a variety of small plates, burgers, pizzas, and both classic and bespoke cocktails. The main bar features a mix of comfortable booths, bench seating, neon lights, and old-school game graphics on the floors.

The venue is a nostalgic journey, decorated with memorabilia from the 70s to the 00s. Items include Chopper bikes, Rubik’s cubes, Jackie annuals, Polaroid cameras, old games, electronics, gadgets, and comics.

For private parties, HotShots offers three lanes in private game rooms with relaxed seating and the option to select personalised playlists to create your perfect atmosphere.

Luci Ankrah, Operations Manager of HotShots, said:

“We are delighted with our customers’ feedback so far. They have been incredibly impressed with the venue and the attention to detail on every level. Whether you are a darting novice or a seasoned professional, HotShots is the perfect place to relax and have fun!”

The HotShots team ensures a memorable experience both on and off the lane, offering nine different dart games including Bullseye, Round the Clock, and Killer.

The venue is open from midday to 11.00pm Monday-Thursday, 11.00am to midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 11.00am to 10.00pm on Sundays.

Game prices are £8 per person for 60 minutes, while private rooms can be booked for £13 per person for 90 minutes. Young adults 16+ are welcome Sunday-Thursday until 6.00pm (T&Cs apply).

HotShots is located next to its sister venue ArCains, one of Europe’s largest gaming experiences with hundreds of retro and modern games spread over multiple floors, including the newly opened ArCains 18+ area.
