OCHE has officially landed in Toronto — and it’s unlike anything the city has seen before.

From the same team behind SPIN Toronto, OCHE is taking over the space formerly known as Second Floor Events (above SPIN) at 461 King Street West and reimagining the classic pub game of darts through immersive, tech-driven gameplay and an elevated social experience.

“OCHE is more than just a gaming venue — it’s a global Norwegian-born community that taps into the growth of social gaming, answering the call for meaningful social interaction in a world where traditional drinking-focused nightlife is evolving. With a white glove service approach that competitors don’t offer, OCHE brings a fresh, inclusive space where pubs remain the heart of the community, but drinking isn’t the main event,” said the company.

“Our mission is to lower the barrier to socializing, and The Social Gaming Group’s groundbreaking tech products, commitment to community building, and emotionally impactful experiences made this partnership a no-brainer. Infusing well-loved, familiar activities like shuffleboard, karaoke, and darts with innovative tech makes for a truly memorable experience, confident that Oche King Street West will be an unqualified success,” said Ryan Fisher of Paper Plane Hospitality Inc.

OCHE Toronto Highlights:

  • Immersive Darts Experience with real-time scoring and gamified challenges
  • Interactive Shuffleboard, Private Karaoke Rooms, and high-energy games like Hoggern, Cricket, and High Striker
  • Classic British Pub Ambience meets modern digital flair
  • Menu of elevated pub fare and craft cocktails, designed for sharing
  • White glove service that sets a new standard in social gaming hospitality
  • Group bookings and event packages are available

“With shifting social habits leading to reduced alcohol consumption, OCHE bridges the gap by creating a vibrant hub that blends community, competition, and connection. It’s inspired by the camaraderie of classic pubs but designed for today’s social landscape. A place where gamers, friends, and newcomers can gather, play, and engage without the pressure of alcohol being the main attraction,” explained the company.

“Already making waves in cities like Amsterdam, Dubai, and Melbourne, OCHE is internationally recognized for its fusion of gastro-gaming, elevated dining, and bold nightlife – and now Toronto gets to experience it firsthand.”
