Why Rocket Room Works for Date Nights
First dates need icebreakers. Second dates need something better than 'dinner and a movie'. Rocket Room gives you both: competitive activities that start conversations, a full cocktail bar, and a Leicester Square location you can get to easily. No awkward silences. No boring small talk. Just actual fun.
Activities First. Drinks Throughout.
Pick an activity (axe throwing is the most popular date night choice), book a lane or table, and get competitive. Bar service runs throughout your session — order signature cocktails, craft beers, or wines without interrupting the game. Stay for one activity or try multiple. Date nights at Rocket Room run 1–2 hours on average.

What are the best date night ideas in London?+
Rocket Room offers axe throwing, darts, shuffleboard, and beer pong — all with a full cocktail bar in Leicester Square. It's perfect for first dates (icebreakers built-in), second dates (something more interesting than dinner), or regular date nights with your partner. Most date night bookings choose axe throwing or darts.
Is Rocket Room good for a first date?+
Yes — Rocket Room is one of the best first date spots in London. Activities give you natural conversation starters, there's no awkward 'staring at each other over dinner' pressure, and you can keep it to 1 hour if things aren't clicking (or stay longer if they are). Axe throwing is the most popular first date activity.
How much does a date night at Rocket Room cost?+
Activity pricing varies by session length. Most date nights book a 1-hour activity session (e.g., axe throwing or darts) plus drinks. Visit our booking page for current pricing or contact us for date night packages.
Can we book a private area for date night?+
For a standard date night (2 people), you'll share the main floor with other guests but have your own lane/table for your activity. For exclusive private hire (perfect for anniversary celebrations or proposals), contact us directly — we can arrange full floor hire.
What should we do after activities at Rocket Room?+
Stay at the Rocket Room bar for more drinks, or head downstairs to Market Place Food Hall for dinner (Thai, Japanese, burgers, tacos — full range of cuisines). Leicester Square also has cinemas, restaurants, and bars within a 5-minute walk if you want to extend the date night.
