The Star In Shoreditch: Darts in London

PaidBooking required18+Food & cocktailsLate nightSports bar

The Star in Shoreditch is a late-opening sports bar on Old Street that runs bookable darts nights alongside its screens, street food and cocktails. It suits groups and after-work crowds who want darts as part of a bigger night out rather than a quiet pub game, and it is over-18s only. The single most useful thing to know is that darts here is an organised event you book ahead, not a casual walk-up board you can grab any evening, so check what is on before you turn up.\n\nIt sits right by Old Street station and keeps unusually late hours, open until 4am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Expect screens showing the football, Yard Sale Pizza to the table, craft beer and a busy weekend crowd.

The darts setup

Darts at The Star runs as a scheduled darts night rather than a permanent bank of bookable oches, so you step up to the board in the main bar on the nights it is on. The venue does not publish a board count or automatic-scoring details, so treat it as a social darts session built into a sports-bar evening rather than a dedicated darts arena like the bigger Shoreditch competitors. Because the dates rotate (recent listings show Tuesday nights), the safest move is to check the current schedule and reserve a slot before you head over, especially at the weekend when the bar fills up.

Good to know

This is a paid, bookable venue, not a free pub board, and it is over-18s only. Food is sorted by Yard Sale Pizza brought to your table, and the bar runs a cocktail deal of two for £14 on weekdays before 8pm alongside craft beer and a full bar. The hours are the standout: it is closed Monday, open until midnight Tuesday and Wednesday, and runs to 4am Thursday through Saturday, so it works as a late one. There are screens across the bar for the football, so darts often sits inside a wider sports-and-drinks night.

Getting there

The Star is at 243 Old Street, EC1V 9EY, a short walk from Old Street station on the Northern line and the Overground, which makes it easy to reach from the City and north London. You are in the thick of Shoreditch here, so it is simple to fold a visit into a wider night around Old Street and Hoxton. Given the 4am weekend finishes, the night buses along Old Street and Great Eastern Street are useful for getting home once the tube has stopped.
