Sky Bar Eltham is a rooftop bar and casual dining spot on Eltham High Street, run by the Godley family. It is a relaxed, sociable place that suits groups, sports fans and anyone after drinks with a view over the high street. The single pool table sits alongside a darts board and six screens showing live sport, so it works better as somewhere to play a casual frame between rounds than as a dedicated pool hall.

By day it has a laid-back cafe feel; in the evening it shifts into a livelier bar with cocktails and music. Expect tapas-style small plates, tacos and burgers to share, plus craft beer, wine and a regular 2 for £12 cocktail and spritz offer midweek. Monday is private hire only.

The pool setup

There is one pool table here, so this is a place to grab a casual game rather than a venue built around pool. It shares the floor with a darts board and six screens for live sport, plus a dance floor and roof terrace. That mix makes it a decent spot for a group that wants a frame or two without committing to a full session, and the bar stays the main event. If pool is your sole reason for going, ring ahead, since a single table can be busy on match days and weekends.
