South Harrow Sport & Social Club, known locally as The SHAC, is a members-only sports and social club on Valentine Road in South Harrow, doubling as the clubhouse for South Harrow cricket club. It is the home club for a team in the Hayes & District Pool League, so pool is a fixture here alongside darts and a licensed bar. This suits you if you want a proper local club night rather than a polished bar, especially if you are into league pool or fancy a casual frame.

The one thing worth knowing up front: it is members-only, with a licensed bar that is generally open to members, so it is not a turn-up-anytime public venue. Doors open evenings Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with a longer Saturday session from mid-afternoon.

The pool setup

The SHAC runs as a home club in the Hayes & District Pool League, so the tables here see proper league action through the season rather than just casual knockabouts. Pool sits alongside a darts league and a licensed bar, which is the standard kit for a South Harrow social club. League matches across the Hayes leagues typically run on weekday evenings from autumn into spring, so if you are coming to watch or play competitively, the season pattern is worth checking before you head down.

Good to know

This is a members-only club, not a public bar, so the room and the bar are geared to members and their guests rather than passing trade. The bar stocks bottled ales including Greene King IPA and Hobgoblin Gold. Opening is evenings only on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 7pm to midnight, with a longer Saturday stretch from 3pm. It is closed Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. Call ahead on 020 8423 7940 if you want to confirm league nights or guest access before turning up.
