Our take

Eatertainment is part of a global trend that is upending traditional “nights out” and entertainment venues. Fuelled by advances in tech and a hunger for less-alcohol-oriented social events, venues such as London’s Bounce and Flight Club offer social activities and games that are suitable for a multitude of occasions. State of Play Hospitality is an international operator that builds and designs such venues.

Since launching Bounce - a table tennis bar - in 2012, State of Play Hospitality has grown to operate across the US and the UK. Its melding of informal bar and eatery atmospheres with often digitally enhanced social activities has a broad appeal for team bonding, party events, and simple nights out.

It’s a winning formula that speaks to a new generation expecting more from their social occasion. It has led to State of Play’s impressive growth and 2022’s $35 million funding round. This investment is being channelled into accelerating its expansion across US cities.
