"ON A LARK"

That one phrase, defined as a way to have fun or source of amusement, became both the impetus for our name and the vision of Larks Entertainment. To boil it down further, “fun” drives everything we do.

Larks is an entertainment venue, cocktail bar, and chef-inspired restaurant, where shuffleboard is king and nostalgic games live alongside state-of-the-art fun for all ages. Larks offers league and open shuffleboard play, the Larkade and mini golf, plus sports simulators and other innovative attractions. Come to play, eat, drink, socialize or just lounge. Just make sure you have fun doing it.
