SLINGERS Station Road in Cambridge

You know, when I popped into SLINGERS on Station Road, it really hit the spot for a lively night out; it's Cambridge's first smart darts bar, blending competitive games with a killer atmosphere that's just infectious. I loved how it's set up for all levels, from casual throws to proper matches, and it's spot on for group dos like team events or celebrations – you'll find yourself laughing away in no time. The staff are proper stars, always cheerful and on point, which makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. Then there's the grub; their BBQ-inspired menu with burgers and wings is full of punchy flavours, and they've got options for those watching their diet, which is a nice touch. Paired with a great drink selection, it's easy to see why it's buzzing. On the downside, though, it can get hectic, leading to waits for food that might kill the momentum a bit, and while the food's solid, it's not going to blow your socks off – plus, some prices feel a smidge steep for the portion sizes. All in all, it's a top choice if you're up for some fun and games, but I'd suggest booking ahead and maybe going midweek to dodge the crowds and make the most of it.
