Tucked away on Waterloo Road in Hinckley, opposite the bus station, Playbar is one of those places you’re glad you discovered.

From the outside, it’s easy to miss — but step inside and you’ll find a relaxed, welcoming venue that blends social gaming, great food, and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for all ages. Whether you’re catching up with friends, planning a casual family outing, or looking for something a little different on a night out, Playbar delivers.

What makes it stand out is the sheer variety of entertainment on offer. Guests can enjoy everything from pool, darts and shuffleboard to retro arcade games and console gaming on Nintendo Switch and Xbox — all available to use when you order food or drinks. There’s even a private karaoke room for those who fancy taking centre stage.

Food is provided by fellow town favourite Prego, serving up a range of comforting, home-cooked dishes that pair perfectly with the bar’s well-stocked selection of drinks.

Adding to its charm is the recently refreshed roof terrace — a hidden highlight that offers a relaxed space to unwind, especially in the warmer months.

Open Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm, Playbar has quietly built a reputation as one of Hinckley’s most versatile social spots — a place where good food, games, and great company come together under one roof.
