Interactive games and competitive (friendly) socialising have become a weekend (and weekday) staple in recent years. The thought of being able to zone out and relax after a tough day in the office is all too enticing. Adding an activity to that beer with a mate really sets the night off in the right direction.
That's why The Floodgate is pleased to introduce some new 'speedy' arcade-style games to complement our current lineup. This means that you now have the option of having a 'quicky' before your main event game or just a cheeky game and a pint before hometime.
Basketball
Ever been inspired by Michael Jordan on or off the court? Had time to watch The Last Dance on Netflix? or maybe you're a Teen Wolf fan with Michael J Fox. Well, you can now emulate your heroes right here in Digbeth and shoot those 2 & 3-pointers until your heart's content. Boasting 2 machines with the latest technology keeps the score of every hoop. Get your night started with a slam dunk.
Air Hockey
Conner McDavid & Auston Matthews might be the highest-paid players in the NHL but can they beat you at Air Hockey? Just the sound of the air hockey 'clink' is enough to bring back the nostalgia of playing against friends and trying to get that puck into that little goal. Show your skills off on our brand-new air hockey machines. Who will lift the 'Digbeth' Stanley Cup?
Foosball
Foosball (or table football) needs no introduction to the retro gamers out there. It's fun, fast-paced, and is just a good old laugh with your friends & family. Scoring goals and trying to make last-ditch saves are all part of the action. Your players may not have the dexterity of Cristiano Ronaldo or Jack Grealish but that does not stop you from trying. Start practicing on your Subbuteo at home and get those tactics in shape on Football Manager before going for glory at The Floodgate.
How does it work
If you are intending to play our
Raceway car game, you can pre-book your race card online. This card will be preloaded for you upon arrival and you can use this credit however you choose. Raceway, Basketball, Air Hockey, or Foosball. You are not committed to any one game. You can also top up your card in the venue should you want to play more games. Alternatively, you can just walk in and purchase a card from our vending machine for your chosen amount. Games will range from £2.50 - £5.00 depending on the game. You can choose to keep your card and top it up the next time you are in the venue or pass it to a friend. Any questions, reach out on socials or email
