If a conventional night on the tiles isn’t your style or you’re looking for a place with atmosphere to watch the final, Sharkeys Sports Bar is just the ticket. From an unassuming entrance just off lively Old Christchurch Road, scale the stairs and you enter a cosy sports den bedecked with 11 American pool tables, dart boards, a comfortable lounging area showing Sky Sports HD and a collection of pinball, fruit and quiz machines and a Foosball table it’s like a common room for grown-ups! Order some homely grub from the bar and grill and settle down to rack up or watch the scores roll in. It’s open until 1am most nights and 3am on Friday and Saturday – a great place to unwind after a big night.
