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

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children who can handle pool cues confidently β€” 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.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Park in the underground supermarket car park nearby β€” 3-hour maximum, more reliable than street parking
⏰Ask about membership at the door if you plan regular visits β€” a small non-member fee applies each time
🎟️Multiple tables across snooker, pool, and bowling mean you're unlikely to wait long
πŸš—Food is well-regarded β€” 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 β€” 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.
