Manchester
At a glance
Black Cat Club is a competitive socialising venue at Exchange Flags in Liverpool, combining interactive games with a premium bar, food and live sport. The setting is designed for visitors who want more than a standard drinks stop, with darts, shuffleboard, music and televised events forming the main focus.
Six darts game modes give groups a choice of formats, including familiar team competitions such as Killer and Shanghai. The interactive shuffleboards add a technology-led take on the traditional game, creating a structured activity for groups sharing a table. Each darts oche and shuffleboard table can accommodate up to eight guests, making the games suitable for small parties, work socials and casual get-togethers.
The food menu covers a broad bar-friendly selection, including smash burgers, small plates, pizzas and sharing platters. An express lunch option is available during the week, with choices such as a burger, wrap or salad served with a soft drink, with the option of a boozy upgrade. The format suits a quick daytime meal as well as a longer evening built around food, drinks and a booked game.
The drinks list includes cocktails, wines and beers, alongside alcohol-free choices. Eight large screens show major sporting events, including football, rugby, tennis, the Olympics, pay-per-view events and Formula 1. Tables can be booked for live sport, while a private viewing room is available for larger group occasions. The venue’s sports-led layout makes it suitable for match gatherings as well as visitors who prefer to watch from the bar between games.
Black Cat Club also caters for private parties, team socials and date nights, giving the venue a flexible role within the Exchange Flags area. The atmosphere centres on lively group activity rather than formal dining, with competitive games providing a reason to stay beyond a meal or drink. The concept will also feel familiar to Manchester visitors who know the competitive-socialising format, while the Liverpool setting gives it a distinct city-centre destination.
Advance planning is useful for gaming sessions and busy sporting fixtures. Gaming bookings require upfront payment, and late arrivals may lose part of the allocated playing time during peak periods. Larger parties should contact the venue before booking, as gaming areas are limited to eight guests each.
