There's a limited amount of parking spaces but as it's not too busy there most of the time you can be pretty sure that you will get a space to park. You have to be a member to play but it's only a couple of quid to sign up and you can then grab a table. The prices here are pretty reasonable. There's a bar if you'd like to grab a pint or something softer while you are relaxing and enjoying a few frames. The ambience in there is very fitting for snooker, very little noise so you can concentrate on your shots. Overall a really nice spot.

Being good at pool/snooker is said to be testimony to a misspent youth. Clearly I'm an angel, if my…read morehit-and-miss form is anything to go by. But where better to seven-ball your brother, or completely miscue and hit the white off the table towards your fourth pint, than Rileys. I could easily spend a weekend here, shooting pool and sinking beer, if my puny bank balance would allow. There's an array of pool tables, and a few snooker tables for the hardcore, to choose from, US and English. The cues are a better standard than you'll find in any pub, and the baize, while not Crucible standard, is usually in pretty good nick too. It almost invariably proves cheaper than playing anywhere else, unless you're with someone extremely slow, as you can play for an hour for just over £6. Riley's often has offers on too, so you can get 3 hours for the price of 2. Even though I'm a bit of a chubber there's normally adequate room for queuing, but if it's particularly busy and the balls dictate you sometimes have to wait for a second to allow someone else to take a shot. TV's showing the latest sports results/matches are a bonus.

Rileys has improved dramatically in the last few years. It used to be smoky and quite dingy, but…read moresince the introduction of the smoking ban (and a few coats of paint) it's a much nicer place to go. It's ideal for playing pool or snooker, whether you're a complete beginner who has trouble just hitting the white ball (me, for example), or a pro player. They organise all sorts of tournaments with cash prizes, and it's good for meeting people or just socialising with friends. It's particularly good because it also caters for people who don't like pool but get dragged along with friends - there's a jukebox and a pub quiz machine, fruit machines and a big screen, which usually shows sports. The bar is decent, with all the usual drinks, and also sells snooker and pool equipment as well as food. It's quite expensive to play (about £4 an hour I think, although you can get day or evening rates) but I'd say it's worth it. Rileys is also open til the early hours of the morning, so it's a good place to go either before or after a night out.

They have a pretty standard bar selection, prices are around average. One gripe - unless you're a seasoned pro, I'd avoid the poker tables, things can get serious and a little heated, nothing too major, just the odd raised voice. But these are off to one side and can be easily avoided if you're just coming to play pool. A fun night out.

First heard about them when they were at the Cocktails in the City event serving cocktails - as soon as we saw it and heard about what the place was, we planned to visit. So back in June, went with some friends with the plan to eat some food and play some pool and ping pong. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed as they had basically run out of food. Although it wasn't busy (which meant it sort of lacked atmosphere but it had only been open just over a month so probably the reason), there was a large-ish group which were there and they came at the last minute and emptied them out. I happen to tweet about something and mentioned about the kitchen and very nicely they invited us all back to have some food, drink, pool and ping pong, all complimentary. Very nice of them - didn't expect it. So about a week ago we all went. One of the people working there mentioned that the pizzas were very good. I was already planning on going for a pizza anyway - went for the Funghi pizza (mushroom). Could tell it all hand-made as the pizza was not really in a circle shape - but thats a good thing! Like burgers used to be, and still is in a way, there is tough competition doing pizzas now with some very good places. Overall I thought the pizza was really good - maybe not the best ever but good. And also it got the approval from the Floriana - who is Italian so she knows a good pizza! I ordered some sweet potato fries as a side and it was a big portion. Someone else ordered "normal" fries and they were sort of crinkle cut chips - tasted good and nice texture. I also had a cocktail - a Daiquiri - which was pretty good also. After the food, it was "game time"! Opportunity to work off some of the food we had eaten :) First was pool and we played in the upstairs level which was quiet - just us. I played better than I did last time with a few decent shots. Maybe the key is to play after a cocktail? After pool, we played ping pong on one of the many tables at Roxy. We played on the lower level of the place. It was at this point I realised that it was actually busy - loads of people playing ping pong, pool and beer pong. Its definitely more strenuous ping pong compared to pool - possibly more than picking up the ball from the floor than the actual playing ping pong. It was all good fun. The only problem I thought was the lighting which were sort of spotlights. So as well as dazzling a bit, it was also very warm. So overall, I think its a nice place to visit with a group of friends (its such a big space) and play some pool/ping pong/beer pong and to get some decent food. Thanks to Roxy for the complimentary food/drink etc. I think we all agreed that we would be back again.

They are open to ridiculous hours on some days, 6am or something, the tables are pretty good here and it's not too expensive, there are a ton of offers for this place though, you tend to get them in freshers week. A tip for the non freshers is definitely to pop along to freshers fair in second and third year just to grab some of the offers there! The food here is ok, an important thing to remember is you can add on extra burgers for £1 which is definitely worth doing seeing as a burger and chips costs £5 or so. They have a bar here as well, so you can pretty much stay here fed and watered for as long as you like, they offer an option to buy a table for a day which can save money if you don't have much to do and get a few mates in!
