Following the success of its inaugural site at Roof East, Sluggers is heading down south with the launch of a brand new standalone venue at BOXPARK Croydon on 23rd July, bringing guests the most fun you can have with a baseball bat… in a cage.
One of the most popular sports in much of Latin America, at Sluggers, baseball collides with the cool of Cuba, the heat and passion of Mexico and the vibrancy of Venezuela to bring a world of unbridled fun, offering the perfect excuse to round up your mates and unleash your inner batting beast at one of London’s most unique new destinations.
With just you, a cage, a virtual pitcher powered by Batfast technology and a ball to smash, Sluggers is the spot for a night of Insta-bragtastic batting bliss, bringing you the fastest virtual bowling London has to offer, with pitching machines that can be be adapted for every level of batter.
Hard hitting, strike smashing is thirsty work, so once you’ve hit a home run and worked up a sweat, head to the laid back bar area inspired by the dive bars of South America, for an ice cold draught pint or carefully curated craft cocktail. From the classic Santa Cruz Margarita – a blend of Olmeca Tequila with fresh lime, agave syrup and blue triple sec, to the tastebud-tingling Steal 3rd Base – an exotic mix of 3 Havana rums, almond liquor and tropical juice, plus a Chilli Chocolate Espresso Martini and Croydon Spritz to boot, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to tasty thirst-quenchers.
When it comes to food, you’re in for a treat – Sluggers has teamed up with the people that bring you The Cuban Box, Guasa, Mr Pork and Hermanos to create a drool-worthy Latin-inspired menu. From melt-in-the-mouth pulled pork sliders and delicious Cuban sandwiches to fluffy Venezuelan arepas buns and cheesy quesadillas, sink your teeth into these street food delights and feel yourself transported to the bustling crowds of Latin America.
SFG Club Founder, Neil Garner, commented: ‘We’re incredibly excited to be launching our first standalone Sluggers site, particularly as Londoners are now looking to head to one spot to eat, drink and play and BOXPARK Croydon offers exactly that. With lockdown restrictions coming to an end, Londoners are looking for new ways to socialise, leading to a rise in social competitive games and activities. We wanted to create a venue that moves away from traditional baseball but offers guests an exciting, unique take on the sport. Inspired by the culture of Latin America the Sluggers experience brings just that, offering something novel and fresh to the games market, and we can’t wait for guests to come down and experience all it has to offer’.
