Hall & Woodhouse to open interactive games space

Hall & Woodhouse has confirmed that The Quay in Poole, Dorset, will reopen in June with a brand-new guest experience.

The brewer and pub operator purchased the pub in March 2025, before it closed to the public in April 2025 to undergo an extensive renovation.

The Grade II-listed building on Poole Quay’s waterfront has undergone a transformation to create a lighter, fresher pub, complete with a new games experience.

The sociable games concept is a first for Hall & Woodhouse and brings a new experiential space to Poole Quay.

Who's game?

The games room will allow guests to play games such as shuffleboard, digital darts and table football. 

"We’re excited to reopen this fabulous waterside pub with a new games concept," says Mark James, property director at Hall & Woodhouse. "We’re committed to continually enhancing our offering and know that multi-purpose spaces where friends can dine, drink and play are proving incredibly popular across the country. The Quay brings the games bar concept to Poole with a quality Hall & Woodhouse spin. We’ve created a bespoke Pick & Play grazing menu to complement the entertainment at The Quay too."

The 12,500 sq ft pub is split over two floors and provides more than 200 covers inside.

Additional outdoor seating is available with views across Poole Harbour.
