Pulse Bar London Bridge: Darts & Shuffleboard
Pulse Bar is a cocktail bar and casual diner on Bankside, a short walk from London Bridge, that doubles as a games spot. It suits after-work groups, casual dates and anyone who wants a drink with something to do, without the queue-and-pay-per-lane feel of the bigger competition venues. The most useful thing to know: there is one 7ft shuffleboard table here, so it is part of a wider games mix rather than a dedicated shuffleboard hall.
Alongside the shuffleboard you get beer pong, augmented-reality darts and a pool table, plus a full food menu of burgers, tacos, bites and platters. Drinks run from cocktails to beers and alcohol-free options. It is a relaxed all-in-one rather than a booking-heavy activity venue, which makes it easy to fold into a night out.

The games setup
Shuffleboard here is a single 7ft table, so it is the smaller, more casual end of London's shuffleboard scene rather than a row of full-length lanes. It sits in a games mix that also includes three beer pong tables, two augmented-reality darts lanes and a pool table. That spread works well if your group wants variety across an evening rather than committing to one game. If shuffleboard is the whole reason you are coming, go in expecting one table that may be in use, and have a backup game in mind.
Good to know
Pulse runs Pulse Mondays from 15:00 to 22:00, when most games are complimentary, which is the cheapest way to play. At other times specific game pricing is not published online, so message the bar to confirm before you arrive. Beer pong is listed at £26 including 2L of house beer and a free table, and AR darts at £20 per lane for up to six players. The kitchen covers burgers, tacos, salads and sharing platters, with cocktails, beers, shots and alcohol-free drinks.
Booking and groups
The bar takes bookings through its own reservation system and pushes you towards reserving, especially for games and busier evenings. It also does private hire, with capacity around 40 seated or up to 200 standing, so it works for birthdays, work do's and larger parties. For a casual midweek drink and a quick game you can usually just turn up, but at weekends or with a bigger group it is worth booking ahead to secure a table.
