London’s nightlife scene just got a serious upgrade. Opening its doors on 8 April at 100 Liverpool Street, Poolhouse is a bold new concept that reimagines the classic game of pool through cutting-edge technology, immersive design, and elevated hospitality.
Created by the team behind global entertainment brands Topgolf and Puttshack, Poolhouse blends traditional gameplay with AI-powered innovation to deliver a completely new kind of social experience in the heart of London.
What is Poolhouse?
Poolhouse is a 21,500 sq. ft, two-floor venue that transforms the familiar pool hall into something far more dynamic. With 20 full-sized American pool tables, the space fuses the nostalgic feel of dive bars and classic pool halls with the glitz and glamour of vintage Las Vegas.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned player, Poolhouse is designed to be inclusive, social, and effortlessly fun.
AI Meets Pool: The Technology Behind the Game
Hidden projectors embedded in custom chandeliers project interactive games directly onto the table surface, turning each match into a fully immersive experience. Players can choose from four different game modes, ranging from precision-based challenges to more casual, social-friendly formats.
The built-in AI system adapts to your skill level in real time, ensuring a balanced and competitive experience for everyone at the table. It also powers the venue’s unique Poolhouse rating system, tracking performance and ranking players on a live leaderboard — a first for the world of pool.
A Social Experience Built for Groups
Poolhouse is designed with socialising in mind. Each table accommodates 2 to 14 players, making it ideal for everything from casual meet-ups to full-blown celebrations.
Prices start from £15 per person for one hour, with flexible booking times depending on group size. Smaller groups can expect to play comfortably within 60–90 minutes, while larger parties may want to extend the experience to two hours.
The Space: Vegas-Inspired, London Energy
Designed in collaboration with Ellis Design Studio, the venue leans into a cinematic aesthetic inspired by vintage motels, classic Americana, and the golden age of Las Vegas.
Expect hand-painted murals, distressed textures, bespoke carpets, and dramatic lighting throughout. At the centre sits a striking 20-metre bar, crowned with a statement chandelier — a destination in its own right whether you’re playing or just there for drinks.
Food & Drink: Built for Long Nights
The food menu is built around global sharing plates, perfect for groups and extended sessions. Highlights include:
- Crispy tacos (tuna, salmon, veggie)
- Bao buns (fried chicken, duck, maitake mushroom)
- Skewers like wagyu beef and miso salmon
- New York-style pizza
Signature dishes include Tempura Rock Shrimp, Beef Tataki with yuzu and truffle, and a decadent Canadian lobster roll. For dessert, the miso caramel ice cream sandwich is a standout.
Cocktails by Three Sheets
The drinks programme has been curated in partnership with Three Sheets, known for its refined, minimalist approach to cocktails.
Expect elevated takes on classics alongside signature serves like:
- Disco Pisco Sour
- Guinness Espresso Martini
- Breakfast in Vegas
There’s also a strong selection of wines, Champagne, and draught beers — with special attention paid to pouring the perfect pint of Guinness.
Not Playing? Just Stay for Drinks
Poolhouse isn’t just for players. With two bars and plenty of space, it’s equally suited for those looking to enjoy a night out without picking up a cue. Walk-ins are welcome, though booking ahead is recommended for gameplay.
Private Events & Big Group Bookings
With capacity for up to 650 guests, Poolhouse is primed for everything from birthdays to corporate events. Its 20 private and semi-private suites can be tailored to suit different group sizes and occasions, all while delivering the full immersive experience.
