Boom Battle Bar Watford Reviews Summary

Activities and Games

Pros:

• "So many games to choose from! The virtual baseball, tennis and cricket was such great fun as well as the axe throwing!"
• "Got literally everything there whether that be food, drinks both soft and alcohol, pool, arcades, axe throwing the lot."
• "There’s a fully stocked bar serving a good selection of beers, spirits and cocktails and a kitchen offering bites."
• "We tried axe throwing but we have been to better venues. Not much space in the "arena", axes were a bit damaged, the target had had better days."

Cons:

• "The batting cage has too many glitches and ended up losing significant paid for time whilst they came to reset the machine."
• "Did the Arcadium with my kids which cost £10 each (total of £30). There was basically a few games like glide hockey, table football, arcade basketball and some others that could hardly be considered worth paying for."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "Very very good prices, amazing staff couldn’t do more for you."
• "We took part in the axe throwing, guided by Patryk, who was excellent. He took the time to make sure we all knew what we were doing."
• "Zen and the Boom Bar team hosted my company off-site day and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed."

Cons:

• "It lost points of the service - slow, disorganised and often inattentive."
• "At one point we stood at the bar for 7 minutes with no other customers there."
• "Booked a lane for axe throwing. When turned up told there was a technical error. Lane was double booked. So our alloted time was not available."
• "All the bar staff are so inexperienced, had to wait at least 20 mins every time I wanted a drink at an EMPTY bar."

Food and Drinks

Pros:

• "Cast selection of drinks and food was great too!"
• "We had some food too which was great as well as very reasonably priced!!"
• "The cocktails are great too!"

Cons:

• "The hot dog is like a skinny princes frankfurter out of a tin lost in a chewy, large brioche."
• "The chicken “tenders” were over cooked, doused in sauce and were a similar tough texture to beef jerky."
• "The food was also forgotten and when we asked about that they told us "it depends if the chef is in" AFTER we had paid for it about half an hour previously."
• "Food was 1* collectively as a group most of it was uneaten. A disgusting amount of salt and seasoning."

Atmosphere and Vibe

Pros:

• "Great vibe too!"
• "Great for a group of pals and saw plenty of older families in there too so a good night."
• "It's loud and the music is pumping with pop tunes everyone knows."
• "Fantastic atmosphere, even better owners."

Cons:

• "The atmosphere was non existent but this was due to it being a Monday night of course."
• "So the atmosphere will probably be incredible at busier times, we just visited early."
• "It is a bit expensive for axe throwing but I suppose there is a lot of risk so it's to cover everything, you also are supervised the entire time, which is a little daunting when you have social anxiety."
