Boom Battle Bar Bournemouth: Games, Activities and Logistics

If you are looking for a lively spot in central Bournemouth that combines competitive activities, drinks, and casual food, Boom Battle Bar Bournemouth is situated inside the BH2 Leisure complex on Exeter Crescent. It operates as a hybrid entertainment space featuring axe throwing, augmented reality darts, shuffleboard, crazy golf, beer pong, and karaoke booths. Alongside the physical games, there is a café setup with classic board games available. The venue runs on a cashless system, so payments are accepted strictly via card or contactless, with the option to order food and drinks directly to your table using QR codes.

Prices and logistics vary by activity. For instance, axe throwing costs between £8 and £15 per person for a 30 to 60-minute session. Safety rules are strictly enforced for axe throwing: participants must wear closed-toe shoes without heels, tie back long hair, and be at least 18 years old with valid ID. For other activities, visitors under 18 are allowed before 19:00 if supervised by an adult, while entry is strictly 18+ after 21:00. If you are going with a group, they offer deals like BOOM Bundles from £27.50 per person, which combine game time with street food and drinks. There is also a Happy Hour with 2-for-1 cocktails from Monday to Thursday between 16:00 and 19:00, along with selected drinks like BOOM Lager for £5.

Getting to the venue is straightforward. It is located at Unit LG 2-4 in BH2, a 1-minute walk from the Exeter Road bus stop (served by lines 3, 4a, 4b, 5a, 6, and 14) and roughly a 20-minute walk from Bournemouth Railway Station. For cyclists, bike racks are available near the complex, and a Beryl Bike bay sits opposite the Garden Level entrance. Boom Battle Bar Bournemouth opens daily from 12:00 (11:00 on Saturdays), closing at 23:00 on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, midnight on Wednesday and Thursday, and 01:30 on Friday and Saturday.
