A two-floor Greenwich pub with a pool table upstairs, retro console games, big sports screens and a busy weekly events calendar. Good for a casual game with mates rather than a serious cue session, since there is just the one table.

The pool setup

There is one pool table, and it lives on the upper floor away from the main bar. That makes it a decent spot to get a few frames in with friends without fighting through a crowd, but with a single table it is first come first served and you may wait on a busy night. The pub also keeps a selection of playable retro console games, so it leans more games-pub than dedicated pool hall. Table pricing is not published online, so check at the bar or expect the usual pub coin or pay-at-the-bar setup.

Good to know

Entry is free and you walk in, no booking needed for pool. The pub spread over two floors got a contemporary refresh and runs a busy week of events: boozy bingo on Mondays, a quiz on Thursdays and karaoke on Fridays, with DJs late on Saturdays. Kitchen serves food daily from noon, until 10pm most nights and 9pm on Sundays. It is dog-friendly and children are welcome until 8pm. There is a function room on the first floor if you want to book a group space.

Sport and screens

Beyond the pool, this is a strong spot for live sport. There are big screens showing Sky and TNT Sports, so you can line up a game of pool around a match. It works well for a group that wants a bit of everything: a frame, a pint, the football and some retro gaming, all under one roof on Greenwich High Road. Weekends run latest, with Friday and Saturday open until 1am.
