About
If you're wandering down Grove Street in Edinburgh's West End, keep an eye out for the glowing lights of Marco's Pool Hall – an Edinburgh institution reborn. Head down the stairs into the LED-lit basement where 18 immaculate American 9ft pool tables await, alongside Scotland's first interactive karaoke room and cutting-edge social darts. The bar upstairs is all stripped floors, copper and exposed brick, serving up stone-baked pizzas, over 50 gins, and a cracking cocktail list. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose an evening: book a table online in advance for groups, especially if you want one of the private karaoke rooms or the retro gaming station – and don't miss the Midweek Madness membership for cracking discounts.
