Brigadiers City of London: Pool & Snooker

PaidBooking required1 tableGroupsPrivate hire

Brigadiers is an Indian barbecue restaurant and sports bar in Bloomberg Arcade in the City, and it has a dedicated Pool Room you can book for a group. This is not a drop-in pool hall. The single 8ft Texan pool table sits in a private room you hire exclusively, so it suits work crowds, birthdays and friends who want a games table alongside food, drinks and the sport on the screens.

The room takes 12 to 25 people standing or up to 6 seated, and the big draw is the self-pour Drinks Command unit for cocktails and beer plus two HD screens for live sport. You reserve it through SevenRooms, with minimum spends rather than a per-hour table fee. If you just want a quick frame on a walk-in, this is not the place.

The pool setup

One 8ft Texan pool table sits in the Pool Room, with exclusive access for whoever books the space. There is no public pay-per-frame table and no second table, so you are hiring the whole room rather than queueing for a game. Alongside the table you get a self-service Drinks Command unit that pours classic cocktails like the Brigadiers Picante, Old Fashioned and Negroni, plus beer straight from the kegs. Two large HD screens show live sport and there is a personal audio system, which makes it more of a private games-and-drinks den than a serious snooker hall.

Good to know

The room is private hire only and runs on a minimum spend rather than a table fee. Brigadiers lists rates from around £600 for lunch and £1,400 for dinner, varying by time, day and season. You book through SevenRooms, and last-minute requests inside 24 hours go by email. It is part of the wider restaurant, so expect Indian barbecue food and a sports-bar feel rather than a dedicated pool venue. Kitchen and venue hours run Monday to Wednesday 12:00 to 15:00 and 17:00 to 22:30, Thursday to Saturday 12:00 to 22:30, with Sunday closed.
