Moscow by the Cue: Finest Billiard Clubs
From heritage halls to new stylish openings — a guide to the capital’s best tables.
Elegant, focused, and quietly competitive — Moscow’s billiard scene has its own rhythm. These clubs offer far more than just a game: they’re places to slow down, talk, and enjoy the city from a different angle. Stylish design, atmosphere, and a touch of old-school flair — each of them turns a simple match into something closer to a ritual of refined leisure.
Moscow. The House of Russian Billiards
Set in the restored 1920s club building of the former Svoboda factory, the House of Russian Billiards unites history, craftsmanship, and technology. The main hall and private rooms feature 21 tables made in Russia to international standards, while AI- and AR-driven systems analyse every match and create interactive highlights. Professionals and amateurs play side by side; the tournaments run throughout the year. Between games, guests can head to the restaurant for a menu inspired by regional Russian cuisines, from the Black Sea to the Caucasus, created in collaboration with top chefs and culinary historians.

Krugly Shar (The Round Ball)
Hidden in Stoleshnikov Lane, in the very centre of Moscow, Krugly Shar is one of the city’s most storied billiard spots. The mood here is part vintage, part urban: polished tables for American pool, low lighting, soft jazz, and a bar that knows its whiskey and bitters. Regulars come as much for the company as for the competition. The bar runs right alongside the playing tables, creating a social hub where players and spectators mingle with each other organically. You can enjoy a game without ever leaving the bar, or simply come for the drinks and the company – it's relaxed and the place has its own vibe. Tucked in a courtyard surrounded by popular local bars, it’s the kind of place where a casual frame can easily turn into a long night. We recommend booking a table in advance.

Billie
One of the city’s newest and most distinctive openings, Billie turns the idea of a billiard club on its head. The space feels like a futuristic desert: minimalist, softly lit, and effortlessly cool. There are four rooms for American pool and Russian billiards, a cocktail bar, and a menu of gourmet comfort food. On weekends, a professional coach is on hand for beginners or those looking to polish their game. Stylish, social, and quietly confident, Billie has quickly become one of Moscow’s most talked-about new spots.

Double Kiss
The Double Kiss concept brings a modern twist to classic billiards. Both clubs — one in Depo.Moscow, the other in Tri Vokzala. Depo — mix a laid-back, creative energy with top-quality equipment and a youthful crowd. Each location features tables for American pool and Russian billiards, weekend lessons with instructors, and a design that feels more like a lounge than a sports club. These are places for people who see billiards not just as a game but as a social ritual: a chance to meet, talk, and relax.
