Flight Club is a social darts venue that blends classic pub fun with a unique, interactive experience. With locations across the UK, the US, Ireland, and Australia, it offers a modern take on darts, featuring a variety of games designed for players of all levels.

The newest addition opened recently in Melbourne, offering a lively space for both seasoned players and beginners alike to enjoy friendly competition with great food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. Known for its eye-catching design and fun-filled social experiences, whether you’re after a casual game or a fun night out, Flight Club brings something fresh to the Melbourne scene.

NightOwl Entertainment chose Caterlink for this venue’s fit-out, continuing their collaboration from previous projects in WA, including the Flight Club fit-out in Perth in 2021. In particular, the client recognised Caterlink’s superior standard of customer service and the personalised attention they received during their dealings.

Caterlink is customer focused. We are happy with how they listen to us and work with us.”

The venue showcases a blend of vintage and modern design, with rich wooden finishes, eclectic lighting, and quirky details. Caterlink was thrilled to collaborate with NightOwl Entertainment once again on this new project.

The project presented some challenges that required thoughtful solutions. With no elevator access to the first floor and the stairwell unsafe and not fully functional, the builder created an opening in the ceiling on the ground floor and a hydraulic lift was used to move the equipment upstairs. As the venue is a heritage-listed building, special care was required to manage penetrations for refrigeration and other essential services.

  • Williams kitchen and bar refrigeration
