Under the railway arches in Coventry's Spon End, the Arches is a live-music and snooker venue a few minutes from the city centre. The site combines a refurbished snooker room with professional steel-back pool tables, a licensed function room, and a bar serving hot and cold food through the day, all set within the brick arches of the Arches Industrial Estate. Live bands play on Friday and Saturday nights, with the programme leaning toward tribute acts and local unsigned bands, alongside stand-up comedy nights. The venue has long made supporting grassroots and unsigned musicians part of its identity, providing a stage for the city's emerging acts. The snooker and pool facilities are a major draw in their own right, with tables used in pool world-championship play and cue sales and repairs available on site. A separate sky-blue bar with a large screen shows live sport, giving the venue several distinct areas under one roof. The licensed function room can be decorated and booked out for parties and special events, and the venue offers catering for private hire. With a comfortable capacity of around eighty to ninety, two bars and a large outdoor space, it suits family celebrations and gatherings as well as gig nights. In August 2025 the venue passed to new owners on a three-year lease after the previous long-standing owner retired, with the new team pledging to build on its role as a hub for live music. Set just outside the city centre with free parking and bus links, it remains a low-key but well-used part of Coventry's music scene. Spon End, where the venue sits, is one of Coventry's oldest districts, and the railway arches that give the venue its name form part of the Victorian infrastructure still threading through the area. The combination of snooker hall, sports bar and live-music room under the arches gives it a distinct identity among the city's nightspots, drawing players, sports fans and gig-goers to the same site.
