Plonk Golf in Hackney is a games bar by London Fields with two 7ft American pool tables you can play for £5 per 30 minutes, plus crazy golf, pinball and arcade machines. Pool runs on a mix of bookings and walk-ups, with one table always kept free for walk-ins. It is over-16s only on the tables. Sit on the river side of Broadway Market for tacos, cocktails and a knockabout with friends.

The pool setup

There are two 7ft American pool tables, with Canadian maple cues to play with. You book in 30-minute slots and can chain a few together if you want a longer session. One table is always held back for people who just walk up, so you are not locked out if you turn up on spec. Pool bookings are paused after 7pm on Friday and all day Saturday, when it switches to first-come, first-served, and Wednesday evenings are kept for tournaments. Players need to be 16 or over.

Good to know

A pool table costs £5 for 30 minutes. Everyone playing needs to buy a drink or some food, which is no hardship given the tiki cocktail bar and draught beers. Tacos come from El Caravana, with hotdogs as backup. The same arches also hold a covered crazy golf course, pinball, foosball and retro arcade cabinets, so the pool is one part of a bigger games bar rather than the only draw. Card payments throughout.

Getting there

It sits in the railway arches on Mentmore Terrace, with the main entrance on Parkside, looking across London Fields. London Fields Overground is about two minutes away and Hackney Central roughly ten. Broadway Market is a five-minute walk, so it pairs well with a wander around the stalls and the park before or after a few frames.
