About This Pub

Ah, Boom Battle Bar Lakeside – what a spot for a proper get-together with friends! From what I've gathered, the staff really steal the show; they're warm, helpful sorts who go out of their way to make sure you're having a blast, whether it's guiding you through axe throwing or mixing up cocktails during happy hour. The games are an absolute riot too, offering everything from nostalgic karaoke sessions to augmented reality darts, which makes it ideal for livening up a date or a group outing. It's got that energetic feel that's perfect for unwinding after a long week, and the special events like bottomless brunches add a fun twist. On the flip side, though, the hours can be a tad confusing based on what's listed, so you might want to confirm before heading out to avoid any disappointment. Plus, if you're hoping for standout food, it doesn't seem to be the highlight here, and the place can get pretty bustling, which might not suit if you're after something more relaxed. All in all, it's a solid choice for a memorable evening, but just keep those little niggles in mind for the best experience.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they're friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home, like chatting with old mates while you're there.
  • It's packed with exciting games and activities, from axe throwing to karaoke and darts, making it a brilliant spot for groups, dates, or just a fun night out.
  • They've got some cracking deals like happy hour with 2-for-1 cocktails and themed brunches, which add a real buzz to the atmosphere.
  • The vibe is spot on for all sorts of occasions, whether it's a cheeky date night or a lively group gathering, and it's in a handy location at Lakeside shopping centre.
Cons
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled in the details, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's best to pop in, so it's worth double-checking.
  • Food isn't mentioned much in the feedback, and one visitor skipped rating it altogether, so it might not be the main draw if you're after a proper meal.
  • As it's in a busy shopping area, things can get quite packed, especially during peak times, which might mean a wait or a need to book ahead.

Had a lovely experience at lakeside Boom Battle Bar at Lakeside, had the pleasure of meeting Sid who works there and he helped us decide on what games to play, and what would be most suited to us. I would definitely recommend a day/night out here to couples and friends! I didn’t rate the food as we didn’t eat here.

I stopped by this bar recently and had a great time, but what really made the experience stand out was Emanuel, one of the staff members. He was super friendly, attentive, and just had great energy overall. His vibe really added to the atmosphere and made the whole visit so much more enjoyable. Definitely a big reason I’d come back!

Was treated to an axe throwing session as an early birthday present. Host Devan did a great job in instructing us in the fine art of axe lobbing and both Tanya and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A rematch is most definitely on the cards.

Best place for a staff night out. Honestly the service by Callum was outstanding he felt like one the team. Lois behind the bar was so good and the team as a whole couldn’t have done more !
