Flight to open in Newcastle in November

Flight Club is opening the doors to its Newcastle venue on 7 November.

The city of Newcastle is set to welcome one of the first bar brands to pioneer darts-based competitive socialising.

Red Engine, the hospitality group behind Flight Club and Electric Shuffle, has announced that Flight Club, the fairground-inspired cocktail and social darts bar, is opening the doors to its Newcastle venue on 7 November.

The newest addition to the Flight Club portfolio will be located in Eldon Square. 

"We are so excited to be making our way to the incredible city of Newcastle," says Steve Moore, CEO and co-founder of Flight Club. "It’s no secret that Newcastle knows how to throw an epic party, and at Flight Club, we pride ourselves on perfecting the art of the unforgettable night out.

"We cannot wait to kick off the fun with everyone in the city, and we're genuinely looking forward to the people of Newcastle showing us a thing or two about how it's really done."

Howay the darts

As with all Flight Club venues, the Newcastle site will feature semi-private oches around a bar, plenty of seating options and an outdoor terrace.

"The opening of Flight Club in Eldon Square has been long anticipated, and we can’t wait for them to open their fabulous new venue in November," adds Helen Cowie, centre director of Eldon Square. "This much-loved brand is a perfect addition to the Newcastle social scene, and we’re looking forward to welcoming people to the centre to enjoy this unmissable experience.”"

Red Engine has had a pipeline of venue openings this year. The hospitality group and its partners have already opened six new sites, with Newcastle marking the seventh for 2025. 

With Newcastle open, the total Red Engine and partners estate will stand at 38. This portfolio is set to increase to 40 by year-end, with Flight Club Cincinnati and a second Sydney site yet to open.
