It’s almost 2023 and who said the sole purpose of visiting bars has to be drinking and sitting around? Out with the old and in with the new! We at Ping Culture took it upon ourselves to spice up your standard bar experience this festive season and swap it out for something a little more fun and exhilarating.
We’ve compiled a list of the trendiest activity-based bars that are sure to keep you entertained and occupied throughout your stay. From pingin’ darts and smashing sixes to watching full-blown circus acts and immersing yourself in virtual reality. These bars have a little something for everybody when the booze comes calling. So muster your competitive spirits, head on over, and challenge your mates to a face-off. Also makes for the perfect experience to gift this Christmas!

The Four Thieves
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO A PUB LIKE THIS Sure, there are other pubs in Battersea, but there’s only one Four Thieves. Those other places don’t have a games room featuring remote controlled racing from Moonshine Racing, VR booths, and retro arcade games. They don’t have craft beer for days. It’s unlikely that they have 350 variations of gin and tonic, the very best comedians visiting every week or a yo...
