On Broadway is a family-run sports pub on Green Lanes in Winchmore Hill, with a pool table tucked in among the screens. It suits anyone who wants a relaxed local game over a drink rather than a dedicated pool hall, and it plays in the Finchley Pool League, so the table sees proper use. The single most useful thing to know: it is a walk-in pub, so just turn up, no booking needed.

Expect a classic North London boozer setup. There are nine big screens for major sports, food from Dutch Pot and Jerk, plus cocktails, Sky TV and a jukebox. The pool sits alongside that, so you can get a few frames in around whatever match is on. It is the kind of place for an easy evening with mates rather than a serious tournament night.

The pool setup

Pool here is a pub table rather than a banked-out room, sitting alongside a shuffleboard and the bank of sports screens. It is informal, so you play when the table is free and fit your frames around whatever is on the telly. The pub is a Finchley Pool League member venue, which means league nights bring a regular crowd of players in, and the table gets looked after. Good for a casual game with friends; less so if you want a quiet, dedicated pool space with several tables to pick from.

Good to know

This is a walk-in pub, so there is no need to book a table in advance. Opening hours run Monday to Thursday 11:00 to 23:00, Friday and Saturday 11:00 to midnight, and Sunday noon to 22:30, so there is plenty of evening time for a game. Food comes from Dutch Pot and Jerk, and there are cocktails, Sky TV, a jukebox and nine big screens for sport. It is a family-run independent rather than a chain, which gives it a proper local feel.
