★★★★★Featured review by Lauren Howarth

Staff are very down to earth and easy to have a conversation with. Very spacious inside with multiple snooker and pool tables. They have darts and bowls. Drinks are reasonably priced also. They have a carpark for those who are driving

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children who can handle pool cues confidently — this is a snooker and pool hall first, not a dedicated family bowling venue. The friendly atmosphere, quality tables, and multiple sports options keep the visit varied. Ask about membership costs on arrival if you plan to return regularly.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Park in the underground supermarket car park nearby — 3-hour maximum, more reliable than street parking
⏰Ask about membership at the door if you plan regular visits — a small non-member fee applies each time
đŸŽŸī¸Multiple tables across snooker, pool, and bowling mean you're unlikely to wait long
🚗Food is well-regarded — worth staying for a meal to extend the outing

Overview

Swinton Poolhall has operated since 1980, offering 9 snooker tables, 12 pool tables, and 3 indoor bowling rinks across a spacious venue. Darts boards and video games add variety. The bar stocks a full range of drinks and the food menu is well-regarded by regulars. Non-members pay a small fee at the door — membership is available for frequent visitors. Tournaments and leagues run throughout the year. Park in the underground supermarket car park (3-hour maximum) rather than on-street.
