BAT AND BALL

Bat and Ball is the ultimate spot for sports lovers who can’t resist a good game of ping pong with a side of loaded fries. With a lively atmosphere and tons of games, it’s like a playground for grown-ups (who also enjoy a decent pint). Charlie and the crew make sure you feel right at home, with friendly service that’ll have you coming back for more than just the sport.

The food is decent enough to soak up those beers, but don’t expect culinary fireworks. The crispy squid and loaded fries are crowd-pleasers, but watch out for the dreaded queue for the ping pong table. It seems more like a marketing strategy than an actual activity you can enjoy on a Saturday night. Still, if you’re after a fun night out while catching a game, you could do worse than Bat and Ball.
