New to the block, Boom Battle Bar is the epic convergence of tipples, games, bites and above all – vibes
Brunches or board-game cafes this weekend? How about an adventure instead?
Rally the troops, it’s time to hit Boom Battle Bar! Located in the swanky lanes of Jumeirah at DoubleTree by Hilton–Jumeirah Beach, the watering hole stands a notch above the rest.
Nothing beats competitive socialising, and this cross between a resto-bar and a futuristic arcade is just the perfect spot for it. With a chrome and neon aesthetic going, everything about the place screams fun from the minute you enter.
As the DJ spins you into the night, choose between a myriad of activities that could either boost or torpedo your dynamics as the games go on. Prices here apply to game durations as opposed to per person, making it a value-for-money night out in one of the pricier parts of town.
Coming to the selection of games, don your armour and prepare to battle it out across Augmented Reality Axe Throwing, Augmented Reality Darts, Splash Pong and Shuffleboard, to name a few.

Of the lot, the AR Axe Throwing is arguably the showstopper pulling in the masses, and serving as both a show of strength and a stress reliever. The game has a strict no-alcohol policy (naturally) and also requires you to sign a waiver.
Fear not, for an expert stays with you throughout the game to ensure an action-packed adventure – the safe way.
It must be said, that the satisfying thud of the axe on target is an unbeatable feeling. Once you make your way across the games, keep the party going with Crazier Golf. Featuring everything from catapults and loops to conveyors, the nine-hole course is going to test your putt-putt skills like never before.
Need a little unwinding after all that gaming adrenaline? Get your diva mode on in the private Karaoke Room, offering you an endless selection of hits to show off those vocal skills (or lack thereof).
The bites may not be the centre of the show here but definitely do the job of keeping the action fuelled. And it’s all classic gamer food, right from Straight up Fries to Wagyu Beef Sliders, Chicken Tendies, Battered Cauliflower and so much more.
The liquid courage options, both alcoholic and otherwise are aplenty too. Feel free to have a glass (or more!) accompany you to each game and watch as things get progressively more fun. They even have sharing pitchers to keep the entire party ‘hydrated’ and then some.
It’s worth noting that the team onsite works seamlessly to ensure a perfect experience from the word go. Always around to guide you through the games, anticipate your food and drink needs and keep the merriment going.
With a party switch in the bathroom and a general uproar of victorious yells across the floor, Boom Battle Bar is a sure-shot way to switch weekend plans up for the better.
Make sure you book your slots in advance though, as the place tends to get pretty packed!
