The popular pool games that attracted game enthusiasts for many years could be making a comeback.

A classic pool hall with games costing only a solitary pound have been installed at the Sky Lounge cafe on Preston New Road in Blackburn.

Snooker halls have waned in popularity in some towns with only Preston and Bolton now boasting snooker tables that continue to attract players.

These retro pool tables come in three different colours.
Farhan Ashraf told us, “Pool and snooker halls were really popular with the Asian community when we were growing up.

“The pool tables are in mint condition and we thought it would be a good idea to install them in a private area in the basement.

“I have to say they look pretty neat and are already proving popular.

“The best thing is they only cost a pound a game. We have also installed an air hockey game in reception.”

Sky Lounge also offers a range of food and drinks. 

Farhan added, “As well some great mocktails we also serve a range of chicken, steak and beef steaks.”
