Connolly's is an Irish pub on the western end of Chiswick High Road, just past Turnham Green, with a pool table you can play while you drink. It suits sports fans, big groups and anyone after a relaxed late one rather than a polished cocktail bar. The most useful thing to know: it is a proper walk-in local, so you do not book the table, you put your name down or wait for the winner. Multiple screens show live football and other matches, and there is traditional pub food including a well-liked breakfast. Live Irish music runs late on Friday and Saturday nights. The green frontage makes it easy to spot, and the late licence on weekends means you can keep playing past midnight.

The pool setup

There is a pool table on the pub floor, the kind you share with whoever is around rather than a dedicated table-hire room. Expect the usual local routine: coins or your name down, winner stays on, and a busier table when there is sport on the screens or a band later in the night. It is casual and unfussy, better for a few frames between pints than a serious session. If pool is the main reason you are coming, head down earlier in the evening before the weekend crowd and the live music take over the space.

Good to know

Connolly's is open from noon every day, through to 11pm early in the week, midnight on Thursday and 1am on Friday and Saturday, so weekends give you the longest run at the table. It is a walk-in, no booking. Several screens show live sport, and the kitchen does traditional pub food including a breakfast that regulars rate. Live Irish music plays late on Friday from around 9.30pm and Saturday from around 10.30pm, so the room gets loud and lively later on.
