pub sports

Tavern athletic diversions

Pub sports are games traditionally played in British pubs and bars—darts, pool, snooker, bar billiards, and skittles being the most common.

The term extends to pub quizzes and other competitive activities suited to drinking establishments.

These games are typically low-exertion, can be played while holding a drink, and often involve league competition between local pubs: The pub sports season runs through winter.
