Snookers Sports Bar & Grill

"Come And Get Snooker'd"

About Us

Since opening our doors in 1991, Snookers Sports Bar & Grill has been Wilmington’s favorite place to kick back, connect, and enjoy a great night out. What started as a simple neighborhood hangout has grown into a local landmark—conveniently located right off I-55 and known for its welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and lineup of entertainment that keeps guests coming back week after week.

Over the years, Snookers has become the kind of place where everyone feels at home. Live music fills the room on weekends, pool cues crack against the break, darts fly, and the glow of our video gaming area invites guests to test their luck. Behind the bar, you’ll find all your favorites—from cold beers to classic cocktails—along with a menu of crowd-pleasing snacks and pub staples that hit the spot every time.

Whether you’re here to catch the game, unwind after work, celebrate with friends, or simply relax with a drink in hand, Snookers offers something fun every night of the week. More than three decades later, we’re proud to still be the go-to gathering place for locals and travelers alike. We’d love for you to stop in, stay awhile, and make yourself part of the Snookers story.
