If you thought the hottest table in town was a in restaurant, think again, it’s all about the the new interactive experience at Bounce. The table looks like a normal ping pong one but it has interactive screens allowing you to play four different games: Classic, Power Up, Hexapong and King Pong.

Before you get started, the staff show you how to use the table, scan a QR code to log your scores and use the balls to tap on to select your game. All the games are super fast-paced and you get an hour which allows you to play multiple games and switch between.

Power Up is really good fun and makes the game more interesting. Hexapong guides you to hit specific parts of the table for extra points and creates danger zones you need to avoid. Kept us on our toes! The whole bar has fun decor with lots of neon and crazy artwork, just for those Instagram/TikTok moments and an actual photo booth. Oh and it’s huge, lots of space between tables to play.

We also tried their food and beverage – the pizzas are huge and of fantastic quality. We opted for the ham and pineapple and tomato and mozzarella. Both were delicious with fresh toppings and great flavours. There is a great cocktail menu, a full range of beers and wines and they have non-alcoholic and soft drinks available too. It’s ideal for after-work drinks, team building or a birthday get together. There is also a karaoke room available for private hire, sadly we didn’t get to try that one.

The staff were so welcoming and friendly, it really does stand out from other similar experiences around town. A game is very affordable, costing only £8 each for 55 minutes (based on two people per table).

Ping Pong X is at Battersea, Shoreditch and Farringdon
