Lucky Saint (Soho): Darts in London
Lucky Saint is the alcohol-free brewery's own pub on Devonshire Street, just up from Great Portland Street station on the Marylebone and Fitzrovia border. It opened in 2023 in the old Masons Arms, and it pours Lucky Saint's 0.5% lager alongside a proper drinks list that still covers full-strength beer, wine and spirits, so it works whether or not you're drinking. The single dart board sits on the right-hand side of the bar. There's no oche to book and no charge to play, you just wait for it to clear and have a throw, which the regulars are happy to share. Come for an easy after-work session with a few mates, decent pub classics off a short menu, and the rare option of a big night out that doesn't have to involve alcohol.

The darts setup
Keep it simple here: there's a single board mounted on the right-hand side of the bar, the kind of casual pub setup where you chalk up between rounds rather than booking a slot. It's a traditional board, not an automatic-scoring oche, so bring your own marker app or a pen. Most of the time you can wander over and get a throw, though it can fill up when the pub is busy in the evening. This isn't a multi-board darts hall, it's a friendly corner pub that happens to have a board, so treat it as a relaxed game with your pint rather than a structured competition.
Good to know
Play is free and you can't book the board, so just turn up and wait your turn. The pub is named after Lucky Saint, the 0.5% alcohol-free lager, and that's the headline pour, but the bar also serves regular beer, wine and spirits so a mixed group is sorted. Food is a short menu of pub classics rather than a full kitchen, good enough to line your stomach for an evening of darts. Hours run Monday 11am to 10pm, Tuesday to Friday 11am to 11pm, and Saturday 3pm to 11pm. It's closed on Sundays, so plan your game for earlier in the week.
Getting there
The pub sits at 58 Devonshire Street on the quiet edge between Marylebone and Fitzrovia. Great Portland Street station is the closest stop, roughly 200 metres away on the Circle, Hammersmith and City, and Metropolitan lines, so it's an easy walk from the platform. Regent's Park station on the Bakerloo line is also within reach, and Oxford Circus is a short stroll south if you're coming from the shops. The street itself is residential and calm, a bit off the main drag, which is part of the appeal once you're inside with a board free and a pint in hand.
