The Roundabout Old Street is a sports bar that doubles as a chilled spot for a game of pool. You get pool tables and dartboards alongside more than 10 HD screens showing Sky Sports and TNT Sports, so it suits a casual night with mates as much as a big match. The single most useful thing to know: it is over-18s only, so leave the under-age crowd at home.

Food runs all day, from breakfast through burgers and woodfired pizzas to evening bar snacks, and the drinks lean into craft beer, cider and a long gin list. It sits on Old Street right by the station, on the Shoreditch edge of the City, which makes it an easy after-work pick. No step-free access, but it is dog-friendly and has Wi-Fi if you are settling in for the afternoon.

The pool setup

Pool here is part of a wider sports-bar mix rather than the main event. You get pool tables and dartboards in among more than 10 HD screens, so it is the kind of place you play a few frames between matches rather than book a serious session. Sky Sports and TNT Sports are both on, which means the room fills up and gets loud on big fixture nights. If you want a quieter game, aim for a midweek afternoon. The exact number of tables and whether play is free or coin-operated is not published, so check on arrival or call ahead.
