8-14 Seven Sisters Road, Holloway, London · N7 6AH · Mo-Sa 12:00-03:00; Su 11:00-03:00

Cousins is a big, no-frills snooker and pool club on the first and second floors at 8-14 Seven Sisters Road, a short walk from Holloway Road station. It is a family-run independent that has been going for years, and it suits anyone who wants proper tables and a late night rather than a slick bar scene. The most useful thing to know: it is open until 3am every day, so you can play long after most places have called last orders.

You will find about ten English pool tables and a couple of full-size American ones alongside ten snooker tables and a match room. There is a licensed bar with snacks and sandwiches, gaming machines, and a sheltered rooftop smoking area looking over towards the Emirates. Walk in, grab a table, pay by the hour.

The pool setup

This is a serious table venue, not a pub with a single board in the corner. For pool you get around ten English pool tables, including Winner Supreme and Super League standard tables charged by the hour and cheaper coin-operated tables at roughly £1 a game, plus two full-size 9ft American pool tables. Snooker players are well covered too, with ten full-size tables and an enclosed match room for a quieter frame. Tables spread across the first and second floors, so there is usually space even when it is busy.

Good to know

It is pay-as-you-play, not free. Pool runs from about £9 an hour, coin-op tables are around £1 a game, and snooker sits roughly £9-£15 an hour depending on the table. No need to book; walk in and ask for a table. There is a small licensed bar doing beers, wines, spirits, soft drinks, tea and coffee, plus hot sandwiches and cold snacks. Free Wi-Fi, gaming machines, a darts area, and a sheltered rooftop smoking spot round it out.

Getting there

Cousins sits on Seven Sisters Road close to the Holloway Road junction, in the N7 part of Holloway near Finsbury Park. The nearest tube is Holloway Road on the Piccadilly line, a couple of minutes away on foot. Plenty of buses run along Seven Sisters Road and Holloway Road too. The late 3am closing every night makes it an easy spot to drift to after dinner or the pub when you still fancy a few frames.
