Electric Shuffle London Bridge is neatly nestled in one of the London Bridge Arches, which means it is only a couple of minutes walk from London Bridge Station.

First opening in London in 2019, there are now three locations, which include Leeds, and in London, London Bridge and Canary Wharf.

Upon entering the venue, we were blown away by the stylish décor from floor to ceiling and the vast size of the arch; we couldn’t believe how large it was. The bar was modern and inviting, with an extensive range of drinks.

Electric Shuffleboard is a modernised version of the game first played in the 15th century as an after-dinner game and has been enjoyed ever since.

I visited Electric Shuffle with three other people as part of the Social Brunch package. The brunch involves a two-hour slot, which entails an hour of playing Electric Shuffleboard and Brunch. Social Brunch is available on Saturdays and Sundays.

I played Electric Shuffleboard as a group of four. We each posed for our game face photo and let the computer randomly place us into two teams; team photos were also taken. It is a nice addition that you receive a printed copy of your team photos as a of momentum.

There were several different games to play, and we played each. Each game required a different skill: getting the pucks as close together as possible, on the centre circle or furthest along the board, to win points against your opponent.
The magic happens when a state-of-the-art camera tracks each puck, automatically calculates your score, shows it on the large screen at the end of the shuffle, and plays action replays for skilful moves. The games became fast-paced and competitive. The action replays were a great addition to the atmosphere and competition.

The Brunch included a bottle of prosecco per person or mocktails as an alternative, fresh orange juice and unlimited pizzas with various vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. The prosecco was very drinkable, and the pizzas were freshly made when ordered. These were very tasty and moreish. Our favourites included the four cheese and classic pepperoni.

We were allocated our own Electric Shuffleboard, which had our drinks chilling on ice when we arrived, and the pizzas were brought to the shuffleboard to enjoy whilst we were playing. When our time on the shuffle was over, a table was reserved for us to move on.

The Social Brunch cost £35 each, which we all thought was excellent value for the game, food and drink included.

If you do not want to attend the Social Brunch, you can book to play Electric Shuffle; £10 for 60 mins or £14 for 90 mins each. From 4 pm on a Wednesday-Friday, a minimum group size of 6 is needed.
There is also a menu offering a range of food and drink that is competitively priced and two bar areas.

Fun facts:
-There are five venues across the UK & USA
-Since opening, Electric Shuffle has welcomed more than 1.9M visitors and seen 8.5M pucks thrown
-Red Engine, the sister company to Flight Club, created Electric Shuffle. Flight Club has over 20 venues, including the UK, USA and Australia.

Electric Shuffle is a fun activity to enjoy as a pair or as a larger group for a fun activity, celebration or get-together. The atmosphere is chilled, buzzy, and fun, with the music playing in the background and the sound of the other players playing excitedly. The food and drink were delicious.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and will be back soon.
We give Electric Shuffle 4.5/5.

Mango and Elderflower Margarita

This cocktail is a tropical delight. The sweetness of mango combined with the floral, aromatic notes of elderflower creates a refreshing and fragrant base. Patrón Silver tequila adds a smooth and subtle agave flavour, while fresh lime juice balances the sweetness with its tartness. A pinch of salt enhances the flavours, creating a sweet and tangy margarita.

Bright and citrusy with a touch of nutty sweetness. The combination of Patrón Silver tequila with triple sec provides a smooth and vibrant base, while orange and lime bring a zesty freshness, and the amaretto contributes a subtle almond note.
