The Bridge House is a friendly free house in Goodmayes, sat right opposite the station on Goodmayes Road. It is a proper local sports pub with a pool table in the middle of the room, screens for the football and rugby, and a decent range of beers, wines and spirits. If you want a relaxed game of pool with a pint and the match on in the background, this suits you.

It is the kind of place regulars treat as a second living room, and it plays in the Barking and District Pool League, so the table sees serious use as well as casual frames. Walk in, grab a drink, and wait your turn on the table. Food is also available.

The pool setup

There is a pool table sitting in the middle of the main bar, the classic pub format rather than a dedicated hall with rows of tables. The Bridge House is a member pub of the Barking and District Pool League, so league nights bring competitive frames, but most of the time it is casual play between regulars. Expect the usual coin or winner-stays-on etiquette you get in a local. It is one table, so on a busy match day or league night you may have a short wait for your turn.

Good to know

This is a free house opposite Goodmayes station, so it is easy to reach by train. It leans heavily into sport, with football memorabilia on the walls and screens showing Sky Sports for the major fixtures. There is a good spread of beers, wines and spirits, and food is available. Benches outside give you somewhere to sit in warmer weather. It opens late on Friday and Saturday, running through to midnight, and earlier closes the rest of the week.
