Gravity MAX
Chavasse Park, Liverpool ONE, L1 8DQ

Standard sessions typically cost between £10 and £12 per hour for pool or snooker.
While it is mostly walk-in friendly, the venue gets packed on Friday and Saturday nights.
For those with a larger group, the Player Lounge packages are a highlight, offering a private room and stocked fridges for a belter night ahead.

North West Snooker Academy
Unit 3C Wavertree Blvd S, L7 9PF

While non-members can visit, the academy is built for dedicated players who buy hour blocks to bring the rate down to roughly £6 per hour. T
The facility is open 24/7 for members via secure gate access and even features HD cameras on the tables so you can record and analyse your technique later.
If you’re up a laugh whilst beating your sore loser pals or want to get in the zone for a serious game to improve your levels, Liverpool has it for you.
