Boom Battle Bar

Hidden in the Buttermarket Centre, Boom Battle Bar Ipswich has been turning nights out into legendary showdowns. Here, you can hurl axes (literally), because darts just wasn’t dramatic enough, challenge your mates to crazy golf, or settle old scores with a game of beer pong, all while sipping on cocktails with names that’ll make you grin.

A favourite among groups of friends, work colleagues, and anyone who thinks a proper night out should involve more than just drinking, this place serves up street food that fuels the competition, drinks that keep the energy high, and an atmosphere that’s electric from the moment you walk in. The 2 Pint Steins are practically a rite of passage, and the Electric Margs are the perfect reward for victory (or consolation for defeat). Unlike those traditional pubs where the most action you’ll see is someone reaching for the last crisp, Boom Battle Bar is all about the thrill of the game. The staff are as competitive as the regulars, the music keeps the energy up, and the only thing more intense than the games is the trash talk.

Whether you’re here for a birthday, a team-building exercise that actually builds teams, or just to prove you’re the king or queen of shuffleboard, this is where Ipswich comes to play.

Local Tip: Book a BOOM Bundle. It’s the easiest way to get game time, drinks, and food sorted, so you can focus on what really matters, beating your mates.
