Here’s a look at the Harbour Amusement Arcade and the Pool & Billiards Club on Wharf Road. They are two classic seaside spots in St Ives that perfectly capture the town’s nostalgic charm.
Harbour Amusement Arcade
Step into a slice of vintage seaside fun at Harbour Amusements, a vibrant arcade housed within a Grade II listed building that sits right on the harbour front.
This family-run gem sits right on the harbour and offers a nostalgic blend of classic British arcade games and seaside amusement.
You will find:
- 2p slot machines
- flight simulators
- shooting galleries (the “hillbilly” shooting range is a local legend)
- fruit machines
- claw cranes
- pac-man ball
- Point Blank 3
- Mario Kart
- and lots more...
It’s a firm favourite with families, offering endless entertainment, and occasional silly challenges like struggling to redeem tickets!
Harbour Pool & Billiards Club
Just upstairs from the amusement arcade is the Harbour Pool & Billiards Club. This is a welcoming, laid-back venue loved by both locals and visitors.
The club offers
- full-sized snooker tables
- pool tables
- darts
- Sky Sports on the TVs,
- snacks and drinks
Rates are refreshingly affordable, around £4 per hour for top-tier tables, and drinks are reasonably priced too!
Note: it’s primarily a members' club, though guests are usually allowed.
Temporary membership is around £5 a week, or £25 a year, though you’ll need to check current rules, especially regarding minors.
