At Home Leisure Direct we offer the largest selection of American pool tables in the country, with a great range on display in our Bristol showrooms.
Whether you’re looking for a 9-ball pool table for your home, outdoor use, games room, pub or office, we stock the finest quality slate bed tables from all of the best manufacturers in the world, including the very best US companies such as Brunswick, Buffalo, SAM and more American made tables.
American pool (also called billiards in North America) has a few distinct differences from the English pool game. For example, the tables have larger pockets and larger balls than English pool, making for a fast and exciting game. Our blog post on the differences between American and English pool will help you to work out which type of table is right for you.
Although American pool tables are usually 7ft or 8ft in length, 6ft and 9ft tables are also available. If you’d like to check what size of pool table will fit in your intended room, we have a handy chart so you can see exactly how much space is needed.
We also stock American pool dining tables so that you can get more use out of your table, luxury pool tables from the very best pool table manufacturers, and coin-op pool tables for use in commercial or public locations.

Pool Dining Tables
For those of you looking to get a secondary use out of your pool table as a dining area or work surface, a pool dining table is the perfect marriage of fun and convenience. The majority of our pool dining tables simply require the placing of two hard tops onto the frame; the table is ready for use immediately, and is almost indistinguishable from a regular dining table. To play pool again all you need to do is remove the tops.
