The Temperance is a sports bar on Fulham High Street, set in a Grade II listed former billiards hall from 1910. It suits anyone who wants to watch the game with a pint and play a frame or two between matches. The single most useful thing: there are three pool tables and a dart board free for guests, plus big screens (including 98-inch and 85-inch TVs) showing Premier League football, rugby, NFL and boxing.

It is a proper drink-and-play spot rather than a dedicated pool hall, so come for the sport and the games together. On Craven Cottage match days it hosts away fans, so expect it busy around kick-off. The kitchen does comfort food like burgers, wings and stone-baked pizzas alongside lagers and proper pints.

The pool setup

You get three pool tables here, which is generous for a sports bar and gives you room when the place fills up. They sit alongside a dart board, so you can switch between a frame and a few legs of darts without leaving your spot. The venue describes both as there for guests to enjoy, with no separate booking or charge mentioned. Tables are first come, first served, so on busy match days you may wait for your turn. It is a social, between-the-screens kind of setup rather than a serious cue-sport room, so come for a casual game.

Good to know

Pool and darts are free for guests, with no booking needed, so just turn up and put your name down for a table. The big draw is live sport on screens up to 98 inches, covering Premier League, rugby, NFL, boxing and the Super Bowl. On Fulham home days it hosts the away team's fans, so it gets loud and packed near kick-off. The kitchen runs comfort food: burgers, wings, mac and cheese and stone-baked pizzas, with lagers and proper pints on tap. The building itself is a Grade II listed former billiards hall from 1910.
