Admiral Casino, Aldershot

This is a club, which means that the bar may be only open to members.

Make your way past the unattractive, shuttered exterior of this snooker and gaming complex, through the cacophony of slot machines and neon lights and head upstairs and you come to a surprisingly attractive bar, which is open to all, though free membership is required. Two separate seating areas, consist of scrubbed pine tables and sturdy wooden chairs from which you can watch the array of sports TVs or if architecture is more your thing, why not look up at the impressive ironwork girders, supporting the roof. No real ale, but the snooker, pool and casino games can keep you entertained. Open 24 hours, but will only sell alcohol between 11am and midnight.
