Pool:
Common Room, Division Street
Cobden View, Crookes
Other options in or near the city centre are...
Red Lion which is just round the corner from the Crucible where its £1/game.
Roebuck Tavern again just round the corner from the Crucible and it too is £1/game.
A bit further away (but my preference over the Red Lion and Roebuck when fancying a frame of seven) is
The Royal Standard 50p/game. (
Farcebook /
Twatter) very friendly, run by the guys in a band called The Velcro Teddy Bears and two nice dogs who wander round.
In the other direction just out of town (but not as far as the Cobden) is the
Star & Garter where its 50p a game.
Snooker:
Riley's, Ecclesall Rd
Hallamshire House in Crookesmoore used to have a snooker and a pool table, although I know for sure that they ditched the pool table when Thornbridge took over, but am unsure whether the snooker table survived the tendification.
The Old Grindstone (a shadow of its former self) still has a snooker table (I think its 3/4 size).
Would come and join you for a few frames but am heading to Cornwall this weekend, have fun.
