I was just talking about robey's social club today with my better half. Used to go there with my dad. Kids weren't allowed on the snooker tables but we used to play bar billiards instead. You don't see that around anymore!

White Horse at Burnham Deepdale, North Norfolk. Had the delight in showing my Grandchildren how to play , Simon who was 4 struggled because the q was too long for him and couldn't hit the white ! Happy days.

I‘d not seen a bar billiards table for years until I stumbled upon one (not literally) a few weeks ago in the Joiners Arms, just off West Parade (Victoria street)

They are starting to make a bit of a comeback in some hipster pubs down my way.

You can have a game whilst enjoying your small bottle of craft beer at £9.75, MR.

There's a table in a working man's club on the way out of York to the racecourse. We always call there for a game and a cheap pint (something we clearly won't get once we get in the racecourse ). I'd never played it until a couple of years back when we went in it.

Irony that this has been the most popular thread in recent weeks, and also not gone off topic. Alcohol and football tends to go hand in hand.

Only one I've ever seen was in a small pub in Earlsdon, Coventry. Played quite often in my student days.

The Gardener's Rest in Kelham Island, Sheffield has a bar billiards table too. Cracking set of pubs around there (the above mentioned, Kelham Island Tavern and The Fat Cat) for any ale drinkers. Kelham Island brewery is there unsurprisingly, and kingfishers can be spotted along the River Don there.

A lot of our ex players will vouch for that !!

Riders on the storm, nice pint.

Sounds like a lovely place to visit one day !

Yes, been in the Fat Cat a few times - did some work in Sheffield first part of the noughties and stayed over the odd night - would occasionally have a walk down there in the evening

Thought hipsters would have been more into pocket billiards.

Any pubs where you can play that?

They’re into paying for over-priced craft ale served in jam jars if my ‘refurbished’ local is anything to go by.

True. Even though I'm not a big drinker I like going for a pint either before or after the game, or having a drink while listening to BBC Lincs coverage.
I think it soothes the nerves.

I'm only a big drinker in the sense that I'm big and I drink...
But I really can't remember last time I got drunk.
