About this space

The Pool Room is a semi-private event space within Heist Bank; its defining quality is an industrial-chic concrete interior that sets it apart from the main bar area.

Design: The space pairs exposed concrete walls and visible ceiling services with warm timber floors and leather-backed bench seating. Large pendant lamps and daylight from ground-floor windows provide even, task-friendly lighting.

Features: The Pool Room contains a full-size pool table beneath a dedicated pendant lamp, plus bench seating and low stools along the walls. The space provides Wi‑Fi, natural light, wheelchair access, a step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small social groups and informal teams seeking a relaxed, games-focused gathering that mixes seated socialising and casual standing interaction.

What guests say: The space is relaxed and vibrant, supported by friendly, helpful staff and a dog-friendly policy.

Pub · 80 guests · May 2025

We held our engagement party here for friends and family and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were so lovely and couldnt have been more helpful, even changing the food times on the day slightly to accomodate us better. the food was incredible and we got lots of complements on the metre pizzas. The space we hired was plenty big enough and guests were happy they could easily come and go as they wanted. We ended the night downstairs in the karaoke room which was a lot of fun. Everything was well communicated in the lead up to the event, and everyone was easy to get hold of. We were able to put up a few bits of decor around like banners which was really nice. The venue is in a really nice area too, a few minutes from paddington which really helped guests.

30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · September 2024

Really friendly hosts and organisers. The layout was organised as I had requested. The pre-ordered food and drinks were excellent. They were very helpful with holding the birthday cake until the right time. Overall excellent service and semi private area for booking.
