Moot Bar

A LITTLE ABOUT Moot Bar

Moot Bar makes its presence known at the corner of Classon and Myrtle with a bold neon sign glowing red and blue—part dive, part lighthouse. Step inside and you’ll find a space that’s both compact and cleverly laid out, giving the illusion of room to roam. Just inside, one regulation dartboard sits proudly, flanked by plaques and awards from Moot’s two dart leagues. It’s immediately clear: darts here aren't just a bar game—they’re practically a house sport.

Scan the walls and you’ll spot the bar’s personality tucked into every corner. Sci-fi, horror, and comic book references live in harmony with quirky art pieces and collectibles that make you feel like you’ve entered your friend’s cool basement—if your friend also served beer flights and seasonal cocktails. Near the single bathroom, an entire wall is papered with coaster art drawn by customers. It’s equal parts gallery and graffiti wall, and undeniably charming.

Toward the back, things get even more curious. A faux zebra head stares out from the wall, surrounded by vintage beer trays and—why not?—a Volkswagen hubcap. Beneath that lies the second dartboard, ready for a rematch or a mid-week tournament. Every inch of the space is used, but it never feels cluttered—just lived-in and loved.

But Moot isn’t just for darts and décor. Every Wednesday at 8 PM, trivia night kicks off and fills the bar with competitive banter and brainy vibes. Thursdays shift the energy to karaoke, where confidence matters more than pitch. Add in the ever-rotating lineup of craft beers and seasonal cocktails, and you’ve got a bar that covers all the bases—from quiet weekday hangs to raucous group nights.

In short, Moot Bar is a compact powerhouse of personality. Whether you're tossing darts, sipping a flight, or nervously queuing up your karaoke song, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to be a regular. It’s got edge, it's got heart, and it doesn’t try too hard—which might be the best thing about it.
