What to check when choosing a darts bar
Bars with a dartboard vary a lot in how late they stay open, whether you pay to play, and what else there is to do. These five points are worth checking before you head out, whichever bar you end up in.

|---|---|---|
| Opening hours | The bar's own website or its Google Maps listing | Every day from 21:00 to 05:00, no closing days |
| Are darts free or paid per game? | Look at the bar's website, or ask the staff when you arrive | Darts are free, and so is karaoke |
| Other things to do | See whether karaoke, shisha or other games are listed | Karaoke and shisha in the same room |
| Smoking or non-smoking | Check the listing, especially if smoke bothers you | Smokers can light up inside |
| Can you go alone? | Walk-in policy and whether a booking is needed | No booking needed; phone or Instagram DM if you want to reserve or ask something |
Which games the board offers is something to ask the staff when you come in.
Common darts games: a few general examples
These are general examples of how darts is usually played, not a list of what any particular machine runs. In each one, a round means throwing three darts.
- Count-up. Everyone throws for a fixed number of rounds and adds up the score. The highest total wins, which makes it the gentlest way to start.
- 01 (“zero-one”). Each player begins with a set number of points, such as 301 or 501, and subtracts what they hit. The first to land exactly on zero wins.
- Cricket. Players fight over the numbers 15 to 20 and the bull, the small circle in the centre, a bit like claiming territory on the board.
You do not need any experience. Decide where you are aiming, throw your three darts, and pass them on; that is enough to join in.
A night out with friends: darts, then karaoke, then shisha
Darts works well as the opening act of a group night, because everyone takes turns and nobody has to sit out. Here is one way to build the evening around it.
- Start with darts at Korean Bar HEAVEN. Order a round of soju or somaek and play a few games while the group warms up.
- Move to karaoke without leaving your seat. HEAVEN has karaoke as well, so when you have had enough of the board, someone can pick a K-POP song.
- Slow down over shisha. For a calmer second stop, walk a short way to 韓国バーMOON and settle into the lounge seats with a shisha.
- Or end quietly. If you would rather finish with conversation, our third bar, SARANG, is a quiet, fully non-smoking room with counter seating.
