Hi everybody,
I got here one month ago, and after seaching over and over, here's what I found:
There ain't no proper place to play real darts in BA!
The so-called "Irish pubs" or "English Pub" don't have any darts game! It's a shame..Forget about Temple Bar, Kilkenny, Shamrock, Gibraltar...no darts anymore!
However the following places offer something for the ones who miss playing:
- JOBS, Arenales 2932 (Palermo): there are 3 dartboard, the 'made in china' thin ones, with "cheap steel tips darts and used by drunk young people" according to the bar tender, for 15$AR 1/2 hour.
Any competition or serious play in this place.
- THE CLOVER PUB, Piedras 718 (microcentro): electronic/softips machine, not avalaible during Happy Hours, no competitions.
- ACHTUNG BAR, Estados Unidos 523 (San Telmo): electronic/softips machine, not even CRICKET GAME is available on it, BUT they'are planning on setting up tournaments some day! Who knows..
TO BE CHECKED:
- CAFE TORTONI, Avenida de Mayo 825 (Microcentro): I called them and it seems they have a dart game in the smoking backroom, you can ask for darts at the bar, I just don't know if it's an electronic machine or a proper dartboard. PROBLEM: gotta queue up to enter this bar!
- DOWNTOWN MATIAS, Marcelo T. de Alvear 399 (Microcentro): Nice pub, used to have a dartbord downstairs at the end of the room, they're planning about setting it up again, but nothing's for sure!
If anyone knows someother place or has some more infos about eventual Leagues, please help!
I sent my dartboard and sets of darts from backhome, it's now all set up here. I'm thinking about organizing some game meetings and I'd like to meet up with other darts players, so please contact if you're interested!
Have a good one, sya!
Francis
