If you like your dinners with a side of chaos, Boom Battle Bar at The O2 might just be your new favourite hangout. Located on Entertainment Avenue in North Greenwich, this isn’t your average restaurant, it’s an all-action playground for grown-ups, where food, cocktails and competition collide.
Inside, it’s pure adrenaline. One minute you’re throwing axes like a Viking, the next you’re sinking shots at beer pong, testing your aim at augmented reality darts, or belting out karaoke classics in a feather boa. There’s even “Crazier Golf” (because regular golf just doesn’t cut it here). Whether you’re out with friends, family, or looking for a place that guarantees no awkward silences, Boom Battle Bar has you covered.
Between games, the energy stays high thanks to a menu of street-food-style dishes and punchy cocktails. Halloumi fries with candied chilli, prawn stars, and parmesan truffle mac and cheese bites are ideal for sharing, while crispy chicken tenders and stacked burgers keep things substantial. The drinks list is as playful as the games: expect 2-for-1 cocktails Monday to Thursday, from pornstar martinis and piña coladas to house favourites like the Gold Rush (vodka, Passoã, pineapple) and Croc It Like It’s Hot (Cîroc, mango, lemon, a little mischief).
Weekends bring the legendary Big Boom Brunch, a two-hour party of cocktails, street food and live DJs that almost always ends in dancing on tables. And if there’s a birthday, hen do or family celebration on the horizon, the bar’s packages make it easy - even the birthday person or bride-to-be goes free.
For something more low-key, Boom Battle Bar also hosts cocktail masterclasses, or you can simply book a table for food and pre-show drinks before heading into The O2 arena. It’s loud, it’s lively, and it’s unapologetically fun: the perfect place to eat, play and let loose with your favourite people. Just don’t expect a quiet night.
