If you plan to spend date night at a bar or join friends for drinks, pick an establishment that has billiard sports and other games for an even more enjoyable time. Participating in these activities can serve as an ice-breaker, creating shared memories to help build stronger bonds. To keep everyone entertained during the outing, look for a bar with the following games.

3 Games to Make Time at a Bar More Enjoyable

1. Darts

Taking aim and hitting the inner bull’s-eye on a dartboard is a great way to earn bragging rights, which is why playing darts is a popular pastime at bars. The board is the target, divided into numbered sections. Players throw darts and hit different sections. Points are added together and subtracted from the game’s starting number. The first person who gets to zero wins. 

2. Pool

Pool is a classic cue sport that takes a lot of skill and patience to master. You can develop your abilities or show off your know-how by playing against friends or other bargoers. There are seven solid-colored balls, seven striped balls, and one black ball in the game. With cue sticks, players strike a white cue ball to make it hit the other colored balls. The goal is to land either the solid or striped balls into pockets on the pool table. This is the perfect game to play with a group, as you can pair people off into teams.  

3. Shuffleboard

Shuffleboard is played on a long table with a wooden, waxy surface. A player slides weights across the table to the other side. The objective is to reach the end without having your puck go past the board limits. Players often enjoy aiming their pucks to knock the other player’s weights out of position.
