Mile End American Pool & Snooker is an old-school pool hall on Mile End Road, the kind of low-lit, working men's club spot that puts the tables first and the fuss last. You get six American pool tables and three full-size snooker tables, plus a lounge area and a bar, so it suits a relaxed evening with mates more than a flashy night out.

The single most useful thing to know: it runs as a members-only club, so plan to register before you settle in for a long session. Doors stay open very late, from 2pm right through to 3am every day, which makes it one of the few places in the area where you can keep playing past closing time elsewhere. There is also a cue shop on site if you want to buy your own kit.

The table setup

This is a proper pool hall, not a bar with a couple of tables in the corner. You get six American pool tables for the quicker, more casual frames, plus three full-size snooker tables if you want the longer, more serious game. The room is low-lit with a lounge area off to the side, so there is space to sit between frames. There is also a cue shop on site, handy if you play often enough to want your own gear rather than the house cues.

Good to know

It runs as a members-only club, so you will need to register rather than just rocking up for a one-off frame. Tables are charged by the hour, and there is an annual membership for regulars. The hours are the real draw: it is open every day from 2pm until 3am, which is unusually late for the area. There is a bar and a food menu on site, so you can settle in for the evening without leaving. Nearest station is Stepney Green, a short walk along Mile End Road.
