Bar billiards is a form of billiards which was possibly initially based on the traditional game of bagatelle. The origins of the game are uncertain, yet it has been suggested that there is a link to a traditional Russian game. Bar billiards in its current form started in the UK in the 1930s and the tables were made by the Jelkes company of Holloway Road in London and sold to many pubs. It is a traditional game played in West Sussex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.
