No explanation needed
Beer pong, darts, pool, table football. Nobody needs the rules explained, so the area runs itself from minute one.
Bar Games for Events
Bar games for events
The bar corner is where people stay once the official programme is over
We set up the bar games area for any event: beer pong, pool, darts, table football, an arm-wrestling table, ping pong, axe throwing and karaoke, with our own set-up, staff for refereeing when needed, and after-office atmosphere from minute one.
Every event with an open bar or an after-party area hits the same problem past the first hour: people have already greeted everyone and do not know what to do with their hands. Bar games solve exactly that. They are games everyone already knows, need no explanation or a permanent monitor, and give people an excuse to gather round a table instead of standing around with a drink.
The mix matters more than the quantity. Beer pong and a dartboard cover the crowd that wants noisy competition; table football or ping pong give quick two-minute rounds that don't tie up the table for long; pool and the arm-wrestling table draw people who prefer a slower contest or a knockout tournament. With three or four different games spread across the area, no single one builds a queue.
Karaoke and axe throwing are the two that change the mood most when the event allows for them: karaoke because it pulls people out of work small talk, and axe throwing because it has the novelty factor that makes everyone want to try it once, though it needs a fenced-off area and a monitor for safety. We combine them with the rest depending on space and crowd.
For companies it works just as well in a convention's break room as at the end-of-year party: it is the activity that does not compete with the speeches or the dinner, because it is set up separately and people drop in and out as they please. No host needed, and it never interrupts the official programme.

Short rounds, no queues
Table football and ping pong turn over a group every two or three minutes. Combined with pool or arm wrestling, they cover both the quick round and the longer tournament.
Doesn't compete with the main programme
Set up away from the main room. People come and go as they please, with no host and no interruption to the speeches or the dinner.

We set up the area
Furniture, ambient lighting if needed and the equipment for each game, with staff if any of them requires refereeing or turn control.
We pack down at close
Takedown once the event ends, with no logistics for the client to manage.

The mix matters more than one flashy game
The common mistake is putting the whole budget into one eye-catching game, like axe throwing, and leaving the bar area short on calmer options. A single game builds a queue at peak times and sits empty the rest of the night, while three or four different games spread the flow of people across the whole party.
That's why, when we propose the area, we always mix something fast and noisy (beer pong, darts) with something calmer (pool, arm wrestling) and, space allowing, something novel (axe throwing, karaoke). It's the combination that keeps the bar area full from start to finish.
Frequently asked questions
How much space does the bar area need?
With three or four games and surrounding furniture, around 25-30 m² gives enough margin so tables don't clash. With the floor plan we can tell you exactly which combination fits.
Do you need staff to referee?
For beer pong, table football or ping pong, usually not: people organise themselves. Axe throwing always comes with a monitor for safety, and karaoke works better with someone managing the queue list.
Can it be set up outdoors?
Yes, most of these games work fine outdoors on firm ground. Karaoke and the sound equipment need cover in case of rain, and axe throwing requires a fenced-off area with a safety panel behind the target.
Can we choose just two or three games?
Yes, you don't have to book the whole catalogue. Combining two or three based on space and budget is the norm; we recommend the mix that best covers both quick and slower play.
Can you run a tournament with a prize?
Yes, it's one of the most common requests for company parties. We bring a scoreboard or knockout bracket depending on the game, and the client supplies the prize or we suggest one.
