Tucked into West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano, Darts at Bimini’s Vancouver has become a legendary local tradition. Since 1975, this pub has spent five decades earning its reputation as one of Vancouver’s most beloved neighborhood spots. As BC’s first true neighborhood pub, it has grown into a three-floor sports bar and event venue with 16 screens, 24 taps, and seating for over 260 guests. But underneath all the big-game energy and happy-hour buzz, the ground floor still holds onto something simple and old-school: a classic game of darts.
Darts at Bimini’s Since 1975
Since 1975 Bimini’s is an iconic pub in Vancouver’s Kitsilano district. The establishment has been operating since 1975, making it one of the oldest community pubs in the area. The modern-day pub is now a huge sports bar spread across three floors and featuring 16 TVs and 24 taps.
But amidst all the huge screens and sports games, there is something old school yet exciting at the Bimini’s – a dartboard on the first floor of the pub.
Among the factors that make the game of darts attractive to the visitors of the pub is the fact that it involves people in a way that very few other activities offered in pubs do. No matter whether you have some celebration event, need to spend an evening in a company of your colleagues from work or simply want to have an enjoyable time with your friends, playing darts can be used to promote conversation and interaction. The atmosphere of hospitality ensures that the visitors feel themselves equally comfortable regardless of whether they are regulars of the pub or come there for the first time in their lives.

Why Darts at Bimini’s is Special
There are three distinct parts of Bimini’s pub:
- Mezzanine (top floor) – comfortable, with a fireplace
- Main floor – energetic, with a dance floor
- Ground floor – laid back, with pool tables and darts
Ground floor is the chill part of the establishment. While there may be lots of noise on the upper floors during a big game, the ground floor is quiet enough for playing darts with your friends.
Why People Enjoy It
It is a simple game to play. It doesn’t require you to be a professional at the game. You can play it while watching a match, waiting to get a table, or simply relaxing with your friends. The availability of dart boards in all pubs around the world is attributed to the fact that they are sociable, fun to play, and easy.
At Bimini’s, darts is all part of it. You can do everything else there – eat, drink, watch a game, and play darts.
Where Friendly Rivalries Are Born
There is a good reason why the regulars mark their calendar for the league night. At Bimini 1975, the Darts League has turned into one of the most eagerly awaited rituals in our schedule; it is a combination of competitive spirit, refreshing drinks, and friendly atmosphere that makes people come back every week.
You do not have to be a professional. You only have to be there.
Grab a Board. Pick a Team. Game On.
Some of the best nights spent at Bimini 1975 do not begin with some grand affair but with nothing more than a dart, a chalkboard, and some good, old-fashioned rivalry. Our Darts League is well on its way to becoming a regular feature here in our club – both competitive and recreational, and one you’ll want to make time for.
Never played before? No problem! Already got some ribbons collecting dust at home? That works too!

Planning a Visit
If your intentions are visiting Bimini’s with the sole intention of throwing darts, then it would be advisable to go there with a game plan. The weeknights and the early part of the day would see fewer people in the place since it is more crowded at weekends and during sporting events as the place is famous for watching games of NHL, NFL, MLB, MLS, and others. It would be advisable to look at the schedule of the pub before making your way there in order to avoid walking in during a booked private game night.
The menu of Bimini’s includes food and drinks along with happy hour offers and event/venue bookings. Therefore, it becomes an ideal place to spend the whole evening, starting from dinner, having drinks and throwing darts and watching sports on TV.
