“People like it ‘cause it’s on fire,” he says. It’s called The Bullshooter, and Michael claims the drink was invented at i Darts. And it must be the case for other people too, which would explain the venue’s signature cocktail being comprised of many different alcohols lit on fire and drunk through a straw. This is not true of any other activity except pool. While there is so much to love about i Darts, my favourite aspect of the experience is the more I drink, the better I get. Most crucially, and to build on Michael’s point, i Darts is the drinker’s sport. “It’s good for drinking, because no one wants to do maths while they’re drinking,” says Michael. Unlike regular darts, during which players must calculate their own score, here the machine automatically tallies all winnings and losings, maintaining the happy civility of all participants. It is also the sport for people who are bad at maths.
#I LOVE YOU HOW TO#
“But we can teach people with no skill how to play,” Michael explains kindly. The developers of the game have literally made it easier to win than analogue darts, with a bigger bullseye and larger board making the target easier to hit. It is the sport for people who aren’t good at sports: even if you suck, it’s still fun. In the era of 75c Macca’s soft serve cones, where else can you entertain a group of mates for an hour on a tenner each? As well as price, the appeal, says Michael, is that “i Darts has it all”.įor me, i Darts is charming in the same way as ten pin bowling – both require minimal skill and athleticism to participate. Conversely, to play in the open bar starts at just a dollar per person per game, representing incredible value.
#I LOVE YOU PLUS#
One has its own dart board and costs $95 per hour, or $595 for three hours plus three bottles of premium spirits and $50 worth of game credit. The machines are reminiscent of the pokies, booming happy melodies whether you score well or poorly, keeping you hooked through simple dopamine manipulation.Īs well as darts, there are five private karaoke rooms to hire. There are flashing lights and drinking games. It’s just like regular darts, but sillier, and therefore better. Foremost, it’s an entertainment venue, specialising in a Japanese-invented electronic darts game where players compete in rounds to win the highest score, or eliminate each other in party games. If you have ventured upstairs, you’re most likely already quite drunk, and it won’t be until you step out onto the stark balcony for a cigarette, or exit via the stairs, that you discover whether it’s closer to 2pm or 2am.įor all its quirks, i Darts is a guaranteed good time. Tinny pinball sound effects and blaring trash-pop render conversation near impossible.
#I LOVE YOU WINDOWS#
The windows are masked, as though the building were a stationary party bus. Throw all notions of cool to the wind – like the casino or Holey Moley, it is comically naff. It wouldn’t be unfair to say that, on first impression, the place looks a bit sad.įor the uninitiated, i Darts – which manager Michael Chan says “opened about eight years ago” – is a neon-lit adult arcade where dignity goes to die. A couple of weathered posters for other businesses hang limply in the lobby. The façade is unassuming – plain, even – marked only by logos printed on the upper-level glass balustrade.
