00:00I'm just on my way to the newly refurbished Roxy Ballroom.
00:03They've got a couple of new games that they're keen for us to try out,
00:06as well as a couple of old classics as well that we're going to give a go to.
00:09So come with me, we'll show you what it looks like inside and talk you through the games.
00:13So this is what it looks like inside and the refurbishment for Roxy has meant the introduction of two new games.
00:19Those are Tech Darts and Tech Shuffle.
00:21So we're trying the darts here.
00:23It's set up very similar to a lot of interactive games that you see now
00:26where there's a little screen, you take a picture of yourself,
00:29you choose a game and there's different challenges.
00:31So for darts, you might have to aim for specific numbers.
00:33For shuffleboard here, you can sometimes have to aim for the dark area in the middle.
00:37Sometimes it is just about getting the highest score.
00:39But both were really fun, really interactive.
00:42They've also got a new cocktail menu out.
00:44So this is the Bounty Hunter and this is the Pretty Petticoat.
00:47Then rather excitingly, we've got the She's Electric,
00:50which is coconut tequila, jalapeno, lime and mango juice,
00:54which is right up my alley.
00:57We then moved on to one of the games that Roxy is more traditionally known for,
01:00which is their Crazy Pool.
01:01It's essentially Crazy Golf, but on pool tables, there's 11 holes.
01:04Now they've taken one away to fit in the other games, but it's still great fun.
01:07So we're playing Crazy Pool now, I think they call it,
01:10which is one of the more unique offerings that Roxy has,
01:12something that you'll struggle to find anywhere else.
01:14And it is exactly what it sounds.
01:16It's Crazy Golf, but on a pool table.
01:18This here is one of the better shots that we had, a little hole-in-one there for you.
01:21Very nice.
01:23And the ball comes out just like a pool table.
01:26Finally, we moved on to bowling, which is obviously a classic,
01:29obviously is great, and yeah, it's, again, really, really well set up here.
01:33Didn't manage too many strikes, but I did get a spare.
01:36So finally, we're on to the bowling now,
01:38which is the last of the sort of four main activities that you can book here.
01:42The Tech Darts and the Tech Shuffle are the two newer ones,
01:44and they were a lot of fun, actually.
01:46They're sort of stuff that's been popularised by other bars,
01:49so you've got Electric Shuffle for the shuffleboard,
01:51as well as a few others, and Flight Club, famously, for the darts too.
01:54They do a really good job here of making it fun and competitive and interactive too.
01:58Definitely recommend coming down, giving it a go.
