How much does darts cost at AI DARTS? Short answer: walking in is free and there's no minimum spend. The darts machines are self-service and coin-operated, at NT$10 to 30 per game, depending on the game and the number of legs; the machine shows the exact price. Food and drinks are separate: a Hotdogray hot dog is NT$50 to 100, fries and other fried snacks NT$50 to 70, a bottle of beer NT$100, a sparkling drink NT$65, and you're welcome to bring your own drinks. Playing solo for an hour is roughly 8 to 12 games, so about NT$80 to 360 on the machine (an estimate; it depends on the game and your pace). Add a hot dog and a beer and food and drink come to about NT$150 to 200.

What "no minimum spend" means
No minimum spend means there's no rule that everyone has to spend a set amount, whether you come alone or with a group, on a weeknight or a Friday. If you just want to sit down and drink whatever you brought, nobody will push you to order. You can bring your own drinks; the one rule is a NT$50 cleaning fee per person if you bring more than 3 alcoholic drinks during counter hours, and nothing for 3 or fewer.
