Battle & Birdie: Where Neon Mini Golf Meets Tactical Laser Tag in Raleigh

Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Battle & Birdie brings together two very different experiences under one roof: neon mini golf and immersive tactical laser tag.

Designed as a premier bar and lounge with a competitive social atmosphere, Battle & Birdie goes beyond the traditional laser tag experience with a fully immersive arena built around a spaceship command center theme. The venue is equipped with our tactical laser tag system, featuring irSMGs, irSAWs, irShotguns, and accessories like the Dominator and irBell, giving guests the realistic equipment and gameplay variety needed for a truly tactical experience.

Why iCOMBAT?

When developing the Battle & Birdie concept, the team had a clear vision for what they wanted their laser tag experience to be and it wasn't the traditional arcade-style laser tag many guests grew up with.

“When we were designing Battle & Birdie, we wanted true tactical laser tag rather than the arcade-style version most people grew up with. iCOMBAT is the established name in that category, and the realism and range of game modes fit the competitive experience we were building.”

A More Tactical Take on Laser Tag

For guests, the appeal goes beyond simply picking up a laser tag blaster and running around an arena. The tactical realism and variety of gameplay are two of the biggest draws, with Team Deathmatch and Domination among the most popular missions.

As the Battle & Birdie team puts it:

“Guests consistently tell us it feels closer to an actual mission than a typical laser tag game.”

The combination of our equipment, mission-based gameplay, and a spaceship command center environment helps create an experience that feels different from anywhere else.

What’s Next for Battle & Birdie

Battle & Birdie is part of a larger vision for competitive social entertainment. The team is currently developing a ParTee Shack location in Charleston, South Carolina, while also exploring opportunities for a second Battle & Birdie location.

Their goal is to continue investing in experiences that give guests something they can't find anywhere else.

“We are continuing to invest in the full competitive social experience across all venues.”

Growth Without Outside Investment

One of the accomplishments Battle & Birdie is most proud of is how the company has grown.

The business has expanded from a single location into a multi brand company while remaining entirely self funded, a path that is uncommon in the location based entertainment industry.

“That growth comes from building experiences people can't find anywhere else and treating every detail of the guest experience as a competitive advantage.”

For Battle & Birdie, that philosophy extends to every part of the venue. 

Just Getting Started or Building on the Vision 

From its spaceship-themed tactical laser tag arena to neon mini golf and a social bar and lounge atmosphere, Battle & Birdie has built a concept around giving guests new ways to compete, connect, and have fun.

We’re excited to welcome Battle & Birdie to the iCOMBAT network and look forward to seeing how the team continues to grow its concepts and create experiences that stand out.
