About
If you're walking down Slateford Road in Edinburgh, you might miss the unassuming entrance to Shandon Snooker & Pool, but don't. Step inside and you'll find a proper old-school cue sports haven that's been running for over 30 years (the team behind it also ran the famous Locarno Snooker Club). The three tables are immaculately kept — locals swear they're the best in town — and there's an in-house cue store if you want to upgrade your gear. Grab a pint, order some loaded nachos or a charcuterie board, and settle in for live sport on the big screens. It's family-run, friendly, and exactly the kind of place you end up staying longer than planned.
