The Boundary, Farringdon

  • Location: 19-25 Cowcross Street, EC1M 6DQ
  • Best for: wall-to-wall coverage

Boasting possibly the most screens of any sports bar in Farringdon, you won't miss a single second of the action at The Boundary. They show football, rugby, boxing, cricket and everything else you could ask for in HD, and they've got pool tables and dartboards to keep you entertained at half time.

There's plenty to choose from on their food menu, ranging from nduja ranch chicken to loaded pepperoni pizzas and grilled halloumi burgers. Plus, they serve two-for-one cocktails too.

Urban Golf Smithfield

  • Location: 12 Smithfield Street, EC1A 9LA
  • Best for: state-of-the-art simulations

Having been around since 2004, Urban Golf Smithfield has got plenty of experience when it comes to bringing customers a fantastic sports experience. This high-tech venue comes equipped with cutting-edge simulators, where you can play golf at some of the world's top courses on the big screens. These are suitable for all abilities, with customisable levels of difficulty.

They also show a range of live sports in the bar, from football to rugby and, of course, golf. There's a cracking selection of craft beer and cocktails to be enjoyed while you watch, alongside scrumptious Latin American eats like nachos, tacos or burritos.

Bounce, Farringdon

  • Location: 121 Holborn, EC1N 2TD
  • Best for: playing ping pong in between matches

Based at the site where ping pong was first trademarked, Bounce Farringdon is a high-energy table tennis bar where you can both play and watch sports. They've got 17 different ping pong tables available to book by the hour, with prices starting from as little as £6 per person, and they even offer an AI-powered version of the game if you want to level up your experience.

Prefer to leave the competition to the professionals? You'll also find live sports being shown across their huge screens, including all the big Premier League and European football games. Fuel up with affordable pizzas, burgers and small plates - with a two-for-one deal on drinks and pizzas before 6pm on weekdays. They even offer bottomless brunches too.

The Hope, Smithfield

  • Location: 94 Cowcross Street, EC1M 6BH
  • Best for: a traditional pub feel

A Grade II-listed pub close to Smithfield Market, The Hope provides a relaxing setting for enjoying a wide variety of sports. The traditional boozer fronts comfortable leather armchairs, tiled walls and warm lighting, as well as several HD screens.

Their TVs are equipped with both Sky and TNT Sports, so they've got you covered for all the biggest games. You can also enjoy pies from Pieminister, with fillings like beef and stilton or jackfruit steak and ale.
