Dubai, UAE – Oche – tech-driven, darts-focused venue – will launch in Dubai. A world-first concept that combines social dining with gaming, will be introduced by RMAL Hospitality in partnership with The Social Gaming Group, Oche combines top-tier gastronomy with a state-of-the-art gaming experience, welcoming guests to limber up their throwing arms for an unforgettable adventure.

Derived from the term defining the line behind which darts players must stand, "Oche" is pronounced like hockey, but with the 'H' gracefully omitted. This unique concept marries a premium shared darts experience with exceptional food and drinks, introducing the world to the innovative concept of "gastro-gaming," where patrons can play, interact, and fully immerse themselves in the moment.

From Michelin-trained chefs and curated menus, through to a diverse selection of cocktails masterfully created behind the bar, Oche offers an array of food and beverage options inspired by modern European and Asian cuisines, all at affordable prices. Its unique concept draws inspiration from street food worldwide, emphasizing flavour-packed dishes meant to be enjoyed by hand.

With best-in-class gaming and entertainment features at its core, Oche boasts revolutionary technology that guarantees an unparalleled experience. Forget the traditional chalkboard – the venue is equipped with cutting-edge technology, complete with numerous games and automatic scoring systems including Killer, Shanghai, and 501.
