About Poolhouse

Poolhouse is a UK-based entertainment company founded in 2024 by Steve and Dave Jolliffe, known for creating Topgolf.

The company aims to enhance the traditional game of pool by integrating patented interactive gaming technology with high-end hospitality in a vibrant, Las Vegas-inspired setting. Poolhouse is headquartered in London and has secured $34 million in seed funding to support its innovative vision. The company operates as both a software and venue provider, creating immersive entertainment spaces featuring gamified billiards tables that track shots and offer a variety of interactive games. Their venues also provide curated food and beverage options, designed to elevate the dining experience beyond typical sports bars. Poolhouse plans to expand through franchising and licensing its technology to existing venues, targeting upscale restaurants, entertainment centers, and event setups. The first flagship location is set to open near London’s Liverpool Street Station in early 2026, with plans for further expansion in the US and globally.
