320 Baker Street, Enfield ยท EN1 3LH

The Hop Poles is a proper local pub at the northern end of Enfield town, on the corner where Lancaster Road meets Baker Street. It is a friendly sports bar in a listed Edwardian building, and it suits anyone after a relaxed game of pool with a pint rather than a polished cue-sports lounge. The single most useful thing to know: it runs a pool table and is a member venue of the Enfield District Pool League, so the table sees regular league play alongside casual games.

Expect Sky TV and big screens for the football, a jukebox, and live bands on Friday and most Saturday nights with free admission. It is a walk-in local, not a booking-and-tables operation, so you turn up, get a drink and put your coins down for the table.

The pool setup

There is a pool table inside, and the Hop Poles is listed as a member venue of the Enfield District Pool League, so a team plays out of here and the table gets proper league use. That makes it a decent spot for a casual frame as a regular pub table rather than a dedicated cue-sports hall. There is one table rather than a bank of them, so on a busy league night or a packed sports evening you may be waiting your turn. Best treated as somewhere to play a relaxed game alongside the football and a pint, not somewhere to book a private table.

Good to know

This is a walk-in local sports bar, so there is no table booking. You turn up, get a drink and play. There are Sky TV and big screens for live sport, plus a jukebox, and food is served. Live bands play on Friday and most Saturday nights with free admission, which means the pub can get loud and busy late in the week. If you want a quieter frame of pool, an earlier or midweek visit is your better bet. It sits in a listed Edwardian building on the Lancaster Road and Baker Street corner.
