Our review of Bullseye Social Darts in Jesmond
We recently tried Bullseye Darts in Jesmond, and what a fun evening it was! It’s definitely not your average darts night!

The setup is modern, with loads of different games to choose from rather than just the classic version. I loved the variety of games, the farmland one was my favourite!
The atmosphere was perfect for a casual night out.

Fun decor and atmosphere
Bullseye Social has a great setup that makes it feel welcoming and fun. It is a lot more cosy and boujee than your average pub darts set up, which I love!

Small plates
The food was great too. We went for small plates, which were perfect for sharing. We went for:
Chilli & cheese bites served with garlic mayo dip

Mac & cheese bites served with sriracha mayo dip (so lovely!)
Jalapeño & cream cheese poppers served with hot honey sauce

Hot honey halloumi (the hot honey sauce was perfectly hot)

Spicy king prawns – sautéed king prawns in garlic butter & piri piri sauce, served with focaccia bread. This was my favourite of the night — the prawns were gorgeous and the bread – wow! I could happily just dip it in the sauce!

Yuca fries served with spicy dip, probably the best yuca fries I’ve had!

Truffle fries (iykyk!)
Cocktails and mocktails
They also do amazing cocktails and mocktails. We tried their Hollywood cocktail and two mocktails – Talking About Bruno and Summer Breeze. The Breeze was so good I didn’t want it to end!

What makes Bullseye Social Darts special
We loved how it’s not just simple darts, there’s a great variety of games to choose from, nice food, and a fun atmosphere.
It’s located within Rio Steakhouse, so if you don’t fancy small plates, you can go for a meal before, or after, and make a full night out of it. It is super convenient.
A brilliant spot for something fun to do in Jesmond!
