I arranged to meet a large family group last month at Slim Jim's. The barman couldn't have been…read moremore helpful and accommodating and he helped us re-arrange some tables and chairs so we could all be seated together. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat with a jukebox, several TV's all showing different channels and a real mixture of people in the place (Our group consisted of some old fuddy duddies like me and some well behaved kids!). The pool tables are in excellent condition and after we finished with ours, the guy behind the bar came out and cleaned it, I don't think I've ever seen that happen anywhere else! There are some other activities that we did't get time to try like Snooker and Darts and there are also some quiz machines and even Jenga if that appeals to you. We found the prices to be reasonable and managed to get a pool table for the entire evening for around £16. Slim Jims caters for a mixture of modern and old world tastes and I'll make sure I visit again next time I'm in the UK!

Playing a game of pool at the pub is all well and good but if you want a bit more peace and quiet…read moreand a reduced risk of spilt drinks and people bumping into you then head to Rileys. They've got loads of well kept full size snooker tables, complete with the overhead lights they have on the games on the telly and a general feeling of people concentrating on their game. It's still fairly pubish though. There's a bar sky sports and this isn't a bad just to come for a drink, especially as its a bit less rowdy than most places on and around Park Street (not that this is particularly hard). Drink prices aren't bad at all either if you can find the special deals. I like Rileys, it's nice to have somewhere where you can get a decent game and I would play all the time if it wasn't for the prices and the demand of membership fee. If I'm desperate for a quiet game I'll just head to a pub on a weekday afternoon or some other quiet time.

Although a temporary appointment, we inevitably ended up coming here a lot for a short period. If you're looking for a certain night, it has everything you need. There are a good twelve American pool tables in the along with a few smaller versions in the main room. This means that you always can grab a table, no matter what time of night you decide to show up. This place is open 24 hours, so if you bowl out of a club at three and are feeling competitive, this is your place. They also serve food through the night, so it's the ultimate 'after club game of pool burger and chips' in Bristol city centre. There's other things that would only interest the interested, like a snooker room, poker tables and the option for poker nights, Worzel staff, pool queues, chalk and bags for hire, locals and yocals in bifocals. Although the place doesn't deserve a top rating as it's pretty bland and chain like, it definitely doesn't deserve less than a three because it serves a purpose and I have always had good nights there if I've been looking for that sort of thing. You have to sign up as a member though, so that's worth knowing. Take an extra fiver if you wanna play.

The snooker tables are in a quiet room without televisions, and the pool tables are in what could pass for a normal sports bar. The place is normally quite empty when I go to play and the clientele seem to be 18 year old boys for the most part (and they are well-behaved). The pool tables have seen better days and should probably be refelted, and you should definitely bring your own cue as theirs are warped beyond belief! Staff is difficult to find on occasion.

You can play American pool or regular pool for as long as you want at a set price per hour. I usually go in the middle of a week day with friends and it is completely quiet in there! It's a shame that it doesn't do that much business in the day because the quality of the tables is brilliant! It can get quite busy in the evening but the prices do go up. You usually have to put down a £10 deposit when booking a table but it usually costs £3 an hour but sometimes less. I payed £1.80 for plenty of games! If you have nothing to do in the afternoon and fancy a pool game or five, then Sunny's pool bar is the place to go. They offer a wide variety of drinks and even a choice of some foods. Bargain!
