Flight Club: Holiday in the Highlands

Trade the conference room for the oche at Flight Club (300 Westlake Avenue North), where traditional darts get a modern makeover. This holiday season, the popular social darts destination is introducing Holiday in the Highlands, a Scottish-inspired celebration running from November through mid-January.

The festive experience transforms Flight Club with seasonal dรฉcor that leans into rich tartans and evergreen accents. Holiday menus feature everything from turkey sliders and Highland steak skewers to seafood towers, while specialty cocktails like the Scotch-based Scottish Hearth bring a taste of the Highlands to the bar.

Of course, the main attraction is Social Darts, where interactive multiplayer games and automated scoring that make it easy for everyone to join the fun. For groups of 30 or more, tournament-style play adds another level of friendly competition.

With customizable food and beverage packages, semi-private playing areas, and dedicated event support, Flight Club makes holiday party planning a breeze.
