Bounce (Old Street): Ping Pong in London

Heads up: Bounce on Old Street has closed for good. The official Bounce site confirms it shut its doors after a decade of games and parties, so you can no longer book a table here. If you came looking for this Shoreditch spot, that booking link is a dead end.

For context, this was the original Bounce: a buzzy ping pong bar with 17 bespoke tables, a private room, pizza and cocktails, on the corner of Old Street and City Road near Old Street station. It worked best for groups, after-work crowds and date nights. The brand still runs other London venues, so if you want the same setup, look to Bounce Farringdon or Bounce Battersea instead.

What was here

Bounce Old Street was the brand's flagship, sitting at 241 Old Street, EC1V 9EY, a short walk from Old Street station. It packed in 17 bespoke ping pong tables plus a private room, with a full bar and a kitchen turning out pizzas. The format mixed competitive table tennis with drinks and food, which made it a reliable choice for birthdays, work socials and groups who wanted something more active than a standard bar. Tables were paid and bookable rather than free or walk-in.

Where to go instead

Since Old Street has closed, the Bounce brand points people to its other London sites. Bounce Farringdon and Bounce Battersea run the same ping pong, drinks and food formula, so they are the natural alternatives if you had this venue in mind. Booking still happens through the main Bounce site. Worth checking the current opening hours and table prices directly with whichever site you pick, as they can differ from what Old Street used to offer.
