Went here last week, and i thought it was fantastic! great layout and plenty of tables to shoot pool. Cocktails were great and at a very good price. Cool music and a great vibe from everyone. Cheers!

Good for a non pretentious place to meet with friends for a drink and to play a game of pool!. However do not go there for food!. Very basic menu of burgers, fries and nachos, with terrible service. I had a veggie burger for a change and got a pile of grilled veg in a bun and some bland fries!!.

A few of us girls had a what was meant to be a 'pre evening booze up' at the elbow rooms last week. A massive range of cocktails and spirits to indulge in. After only planning for a couple of games of pool and a drink or two, we settled with the great music and atmosphere for the rest of the night...

GREAT FUN!! See you again soon xx

Love The Elbow Room's!! there just cool...

I went with a couple of mates the other night, cant say im a big fan of pool but don't mind playing a little bit...(to try and beat the boys any way)

When we got there, there was a bit of wait as some people had pre-booked tables before?? but any who waited about half an hour which was fine, had a few drinks, ordered some food then played some pool.

I like the atmosphere as its just relaxed and chilled and thats all you need on a weekend out, or after work, nice cold beer, few friend and some pool.

LOVE IT!

I went to this place last week and had such a wicked night! We pre-booked a table as a work do and found it worked really well as something a bit different to do rather than just dinner then drinks. It was really busy but we had table service so our drinks were topped up all night! The food was pretty good too, the usual thing you would expect like burgers and nachos. We have booked to go again next month!

I visited this venue on Friday last week and found it only maybe a quarter full and completely lacking atmosphere. And a few other gripes/issues:

I said hello to the doorman on the way in - no response.

Despite being very empty I heard someone being told there was an hour and a half wait for pool (even though there seemed to be a table or two free).

One of the bar staff displayed absolutely zero sense of humour when the (admittedly very drunk) customer next to me at the bar asked - how much for cash ? - surely they should be used to dealing with such comments with a little humour ?

Nothing awful but I won't be returning. Maybe it's the location that doesn't work for this venue, or maybe recession has hit, but something is not right.

Wow had an amazing time with my girl friends whom i hadn't seen for such a long time, didn't really focus on the pool but sat in the bar which is separate from the pool tables.

We had fun sampled some cocktails and enjoyed the music and chatted to new people.

What made it super cool was the sexy bar tenders whom gave good service and where so easy to chat too.

I recommend this place to anyone in the area of Shoreditch.

There are many good down to earth bars and this is one.

Oh yeah they have pool tables as well ha ha forgot about those
