Players Social in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Disinterested, miserable service and then added service charge on top for 2 pints of beer @ £17!

Awesome place to drink, eat and beat your friends at table football, table tennis or shuffle board 👌

Great service from Fanni, sat in the sun with good cocktails and sharing plates 😎

Nice spot for some cheeky drinks and games with loved ones! Staff was also very accommodating, attentive and friendly! Oziel has the best vibes!

A very pleasant space, Fanni the waitress who served us very friendly

We had a lovely summer evening sat outside with food and drinks, Fanni was most attentive and looked after us well. Thank You.

Nice spot inside the market. Plenty of seating options and a nice atmosphere. Had the jerk chicken skewers and rosemary fries. Fanni was very welcoming and pleasant. A nice little lunch spot

Thanks Fanni for the great service.

We didn’t eat, just drinks. Fabulous spot to watch the world go by and enjoy a lovely liquid lunch. Tanni was an amazing waitress along with the rest of the team. Thank you for a lovely afternoon

Epic fish n chips, the wine per bottle is great value. You need the wine, mid way through the summer hols. The kids were very happy with the pizza & flat breads & chips. There are some great games to play too. Oziel was fantastic !

Great service, Fanni was super friendly!

came last night from some drinks with afew friends, oziel was really attentive, great drinks too!

Great fun - Oziel was the perfect host!

Came for drinks and was served by Fanni who provided an excellent welcoming service. Will recommend and come again

Fanni was great and was very helpful, always checking if we needed anything !

Had a really fun night there the other day especially due to one server in particular called Oziel who really brought a lot of energy and good vibes to me and my group. Definitely would recommend!

Fanni provided a great service!

Good fun - thank you Fanni for helping to make this a wonderful evening!

Jordan is the best bartender ever, poured the best neck oil I’ve ever seen. What a bartender.

Wait staff are very friendly. The music was really good

Waitresses were super nice. Taught us how to play the games and the vibe was calming/entertaining

We had a great afternoon here while killing some time before heading to the Spurs game. The games on offer were a lot of fun, especially with a small group. The cocktails were excellent, the snacks were tasty, and Stephen provided wonderful service, making us feel very welcome. This spot is ideal for drinks and substantial bar food. While the food was pretty good and reasonably priced, it's really the lively atmosphere that makes this place special. There are indoor games available, and despite it being busy on a Saturday afternoon, we easily found a table. There’s a wide selection of drinks, the servers are extremely welcoming, and the atmosphere is loud and perfectly suited for a social hangout. We even had a few Jäger bombs to top off the experience. Highly recommend for drinks and snacks!

Fanni was such a great server, so friendly and would love to come back for after work drinks!

great service provided by fanni

13.5% service charge for just a coke that I had to go up and ask for table service!... No thanks won't return

Relaxed atmosphere to eat and drink beer and cocktails.

Is our first time in players social bar. The stsfg os very warm, welcoming and very polite. The food os nice and Molly makes one of the best caipirinhas i tasted in London. I would recomend you wont regret.

Came on a Saturday at 11am for the free shuffleboard games they advertise on the website. Got there and explained to a worker that we were here for the free games (and was NOT told to pay to get free games), and was allowed to play. Had a fun time until we were approached by the manager BEFORE midday to pay for our hour game. We had shown them the website and they still insisted on us paying in total. We immediately paid the £25 and left, completely ruining our moods. Won't be coming back. Edit: I'm sorry but nowhere on the website does it say that any purchase was required on entry for the games to be free. We also did not decline, we asked to pay for a small item and still was told to pay half by the manager. Your website is misleading and would be disappointing to future customers, instead change it to 'buy a drink and get a free game' and it would be more accurate.

Nice location, good food at affordable prices. The variations of the pizzas, for example, are extraordinary. The food came a little too quickly, so it felt like they wanted to clear the table quickly. Great environment in Spitalfield Market.

A bit of a generic bar in Spitalfields market. Service is good. Beer selection could be a bit more interesting.

Great bar with great service. Lots of fun games to play- 3£ for half an hour of games! Gia loved her Corona glass

Good atmosphere, horrible service & the most rude server. They broke my 5 year sober card, I asked for a non alcoholic beer and brought me a 4.3% beer and didn’t tell me. We will not be back here, absolutely tragic.

Drinks for the table next to us were added to our bill. The waitress wasn’t able to refund the value in cash as they are cashless. Was asked for my email address to process a refund but they’ve not reached out. I’ve emailed them twice now over the last four days and no reply. Be careful!

Thanks so much to Oziel for making our evening fun! Our whole team had a great time ☺️

Everything was great. The food was good came here for the first time with some colleagues too. Best part was the service especially waitress Oziel. She is the epitome of brilliant service so bubbly loved it!!!

Came in today for some drinks after work, food and drinks were great but the service was amazing. Our server was ozeil and she was really funny and made sure we was having a great time. I’ll be back!

Lovely place for a drink, great service from Oziel thank you !!!

Great place for a group drink! Attentive service from Oziel!

A lovely relaxed atmosphere for a drink and amazing service from Oziel!

Oziel was so lovely and was very friendly. Good atmosphere and customer service

Had some amazing long islands, really do the job. Was served by an amazing waitress called Oziel who kept the vibe up and the drinks coming. Would definitely come again

came down today, tried the Rasberry garden was really good. Lovely social place. Will br coming back with my friends and the host Oziel honestly so perfect and lovely . Made my stay really well thank youu x

Loved the whole experience. And our waiter, Oziel was chefs kisses, simply the sweetest

Food is actually pretty good - service is sub optimal and it’s definitely not the ‘games bar’ it’s sold to be! And there is no djs on Thursday nights. Brought a big crew down her and was super deflated by the experience. Also service charge is 13.5% for doing very very minimal. Avoid if you can

Very nice place to sit and have a catch up whilst sampling the cocktail menu. Only had some chips but the taste and portion was good. Sat in the market which has it's good and bad points. Staff were OK, service not very quick.

Oziel was amazing. She was very attentive and very prompt.

Food and atmosphere was good. Or server, Maria, was very nice.

I came with a group of 25 , Stephen took my booking and was extremely accommodating. All the waiters especially Denise and Lauren were attentive and made sure we had a good time. Will definitely be coming again!

Great service from Molly! Nice chilled atmosphere

The place is a piss take. £8 odd for a Guinness and the woman tried to stick a tip on top for walking 3 paces from the bar to give me my drink, she didn't even pour it. Then gave me attitude when i questioned the extra charge.

We love it here . Food and staff are always great . Molly was lovely to us

Very average. Food cold and tasteless

Nice place, Oziel was the perfect host, she couldn't to ensure are experience was 10/10. Thank you Oziel

Oziel provided amazing service and catered to all needs absolute star

Had a very successful team night out. Lots of space, fun games, good range of drinks and food.

Dropped in here for a Saturday afternoon catch-up with a friend. Nice atmosphere and calm even though there are some fun games going on. The food is really tasty.

Lovely atmosphere, Oziel provided excellent customer service, drinks and food came early and very delicious

Had a great time! Oziel was a fantastic host and really took care of us

Had a great afternoon here while we had to kill some time before an event we had in the evening. Really enjoyed the games on offer, shuffleboard is so much fun with a small group. Great cocktails, tasty snacks and wonderful service from Stephen who made us feel so welcomed. They also have a cute little photo booth which we can confirm can fit 5 people 🤣

Stephen was incredible and was such a delight

We had a lovely time, our waitress Federica was helpful and really friendly! Definitely will be back again!

Our fantastic server Federica was just a joy !! Super helpful and so bubbly!!! We enjoyed her so much and will definitely come back , just for her !!!! Thanks so so much Fede !

This place is great. They took me last minute. Pre-ordered my food while I was waiting for a friend and were fantastic. Diana is a star.!!!

Thanks Emmanuel for taking care of us..Nice service and good environment to relax

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at players social where I experienced exceptional service from Manny. From the moment I walked in, Manny greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. Throughout the meal, his attentiveness and professionalism were evident, ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience was perfect. Not only did Manny provide prompt and efficient service, but he also went above and beyond to anticipate my needs and make thoughtful recommendations. His friendly demeanor and genuine care for his customers truly enhanced my dining experience. I highly commend Manny for his outstanding service and look forward to returning to for another wonderful meal, made even better by his impeccable hospitality.

A really nice experience, and the staff super friendly, highly recommended.

Oziel was super nice and helpful! :))

Fab food lovely place Maria was so lovely and cheerful definitely recommend the chicken skewers were excellent

Amazing experience. Welcoming smiling and attentive staff. 100% recommend

Had the mozzarella flatbread and rosemary chips which were delicious! Had a lovely time sitting outside, only thing to make it 5* would be better cider and beer on tap!

My friends and I visited Player Spitalfields for the first time, and it’s safe to say it will likely be our last. Our evening began with a lackluster welcome as we arrived shortly before 10 pm. Despite our anticipation for a relaxing drink, we were met with neglect as no one attended to take our order. When my friend attempted to order at the bar, she was rudely dismissed with the assurance that someone would eventually attend to us. After a prolonged wait, our orders were finally taken, only to be followed by another delay of about 15 minutes before our drinks arrived. To add insult to injury, when we mentioned the absence of sparkling water, our server disappeared to fetch it, only to be found chatting with friends at a neighboring table, deeming our wait acceptable. As the clock neared 10:30 pm, we were informed about the last order, prompting us to hastily place our final drink request. However, our enjoyment was short-lived as we were handed plastic cups and informed that the establishment was closing, barely 15 minutes before the scheduled closing time of 11 pm. Having worked in restaurant management for a decade, I typically reserve my feedback for positive experiences. However, the unwelcoming and rushed atmosphere at Player Spitalfields left us feeling disappointed and undervalued. It’s disheartening to witness such a lack of professionalism and customer care, especially in a venue with potential. Ultimately, our evening was marred by the subpar service and hastiness of the staff, leaving us regretting our decision to visit Player Spitalfields. It’s evident that improvements are needed, particularly in staff training and customer relations, to uphold the reputation of the establishment and ensure a pleasant experience for patrons.

Great quick lunch, thanks Maria!

Fun pub/bar serving food. Games available including shuffleboard, foosball, table tennis. Went with work party. Good selection of finger food.

A great place to have a drink and have a fun time playing.

Had a great time at Players social. Service is incredible (especially Molly, she was hilarious and made our night!!) Lovely atmosphere and good vibes.

Had an issue with advertised opening times, complaint really professionally dealt with, invited back, looked after really well, and we had a great time!

The attention can be greatly improved

Molly was incredible. She was so friendly and efficient. I love this place outdoor patio on the terrace was lovely.

Visited to start a Saturday night out, as there were activities to do but not quite as intense as visiting some of the competitors. We had shuffleboard booked & were shown to a table to wait for it to become free. Some men decided to keep playing for ages when it was our turn so we did have to wait a while but had a great time playing, also were luckily on an inside table, but I believe there are some outside ones too. Cocktails were very nice, bit on the pricey side at £13 however. Staff were very attentive and it was table service rather than bar ordering. A DJ did turn up around 6pm but we left shortly after so cannot comment on them! Shuffleboard seemed quite reasonably priced and we weren't hurried off at the end of our booking, we could finish in our own time. Quite busy for a Saturday afternoon so I would probably recommend booking to avoid disappointment but will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area.

We went to Players Social with our dogs . Friendly atmosphere, delicious food and good service. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended.

Good food. Very lively atmosphere. The games areas look very novel.

Had a really great experience here. We visited Spitalfields Market on Mother's day (10 Mar 2024) and whilst my wife and daughters went shopping I grabbed a beer. After the girls had finished shopping, we only had 30 mins before we needed to leave and catch the train..... we were up against it in terms of getting them a drink and having time to enjoy it (rather than gulping it down). We let the serving team (Stephen and Molly) know this and boy did they pull it out of the bag. Molly got the girls seated and Stephen managed to grab 3 glasses of prosecco (I already had my beer) in 70 seconds!!! Love this place anyway, but this just made in extra special. Thanks Stephen and Molly

Absolutely fantastic. Molly was fast and efficient and Stephen was brilliant as well, he joked around with us and took 1 min 30 seconds to get us three glasses of Prosecco. Outstanding service

Needed quick drinks before my parents train. Stephen took on the task and we timed him at his request! Took 1min and 30secs for 3 glasses of Prosecco!! And Molly also helped make the experience lovely! Would always recommend this bar if you’re in the area!

Jaden has been amazing and really looked after us.

Amazing atmosphere in this place. Wonderful staff , especially Yusuf , he is very welcoming and helpful. Every time I travel through Liverpool st, I have to stop at this fabulous place.

Ghiz was great! She was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great too. Will visit again. :)

Stephen was a joy to have as a server. Burgers were great! Aces all around!

We hired the whole games area for a party. Great vibe and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The table service was super slick meaning we got maximum playing time not going to the bar.

Yusuf was our waiter. Great vibes and friendly place.

Service and place are really nice. Food oils be better

Came on a busy Sunday morning, 7 of us and they were able to accommodate our needs. Very friendly service and excellent food.

The place and their staff were great, Stephen was extremely welcoming and served us our food , I had the jamon croquettes and squid. He also went the extra mile to explain me and my family how to play shuffle board and made it extremely fun. I had a great time

DON’T GO!! Loud place, worst seats ever with dirty tables. The food was mediocre at best. They took thirty minutes to bring us a tea and a pizza and another thirty one to bring the bill when we were done AND they charged us a service charge without asking us first (would have never payed it with the terrible service they gave us). Great only if you like to waste your money.

Jaden (with the good knees) was so friendly & made us feel right at home. We had a great time & he was very attentive.

Jaden was our waiter. 10 gold stars. Absolutely love him. Knows what he’s about. Helped me get the drink I wanted bc I wanted an extra ingredient. KING. Give him a raiseee.

Thanks for the great service Fede!

Nice work social with shuffle board & table tennis made particularly enjoyable be our fun loving host Stephen - top job Stephen!

Jaden was amazing and his service was outstanding. Really nice and extra helpful catering for my GF allergies.. Thanks

Great place to visit. Great customer service from Diana and Staff
