Wide area for multiple games of pool to be played without too much distraction. Fairly diverse crowd and the majority of people are jovial with a repertoire of sports, fishing, race cars and pool knowledge which they are eager to share. The tables are discounted until 6pm and you can get yourself a half pitcher with a FROSTY mug of umm(refreshments) also. Highly recommend giving Shock Top a try even if you do not favor citrus libations. You might pass up the pool hall if you blink, but look for a neon sign on the front, left corner of the building or else you will have to U-turn. The pool hall is smoke free, but for the smokers and e-smokers, there is a door at the end of the pool hall that leads to a small patio on the side with a couple of chairs and railing if you need a little assistance or you can step outside the front door about 50 feet. Dealer’s choice. If you are looking for league play then you have found a spot to meet and mingle with amateurs and semi-pros alike. The pool hall also have a few electronic games if you feel lucky with tables and chairs around this area if you just want to hang out and converse. It is a good place for just hanging out and very safe if you are wondering! Their music is played through a TouchTunes jukebox with a decent selection. Bartenders are cool!!

Pantana’s Pool Hall & Saloon – Menu with Prices – 3112 Hillsborough St, Raleigh

I’ve been frequenting this pool hall for the past 7 years off and on, and most recently just started to go back after over a year absence, and the place has only gotten better! Wait a second….I don’t remember these pool tables being THIS nice (I’ll get to that..) Even though I went on an APA night (American Poolplayers Association – league play), I was able to get a table quickly. They have a new manager who I met last night and he explained that they just finished reupholstering the tables, meaning new felt and new rubber for the rails. If you know billiards, you know how much of a godsend this is! If you want to play some good pool, this is your place. The balls glide across the felt better than any pool hall in town. If they keep routine maintenance going, these tables will be the best in downtown Raleigh for a long time. If you haven’t been recently, go on a weeknight to check it out. As long as it isn’t an APA night, it won’t be too busy. If you’re looking to join a league, they have APA nights once a week. Also, if you do join the league, they offer a discounted hourly rate for league members (I believe it’s a $3 discount if I remember correctly). Their regular rates are affordable at about $10/hour for two people. As far as other events go, management is planning on Ladies Night (ladies play for free) as well as a Wine Night. It will be interesting to see what events they come up with as the management is very enthusiastic about offering more to do on the weekdays. I believe they are offering liquor drinks now, or plan to, as I was required to sign up for a membership (free) due to NC liquor laws. Their beer selection is decent with a limited tab but the tap selections are very nice. They featured NC breweries on tap (Hoppyum IPA from Foothills Brewing Company and Sweet Josie/Shotgun Betty from Lonerider Brewing Company), which I’m always glad to support. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and engaged me in conversation, which is always a plus in my book. Their bathrooms were cleaner than I remember, too. I was seriously impressed with the new management and the quality of the tables and will be back again. Next time I’ll remember to take pictures!

Club Med Billiard Parlor – Menu with Prices – 101 S 38th St, Harrisburg

Club Med is the better of the two pool rooms found in Harrisburg. The other one being BCA Billiards. Club med offers an All Night Special for $10 for those die hard pool players. They also offer a selection of tables. They have several 9 foot tables, a couple of bar tables, a billiards table (no pockets) and a 12 foot snooker table. They do offer snacks and drinks. They do not sell beer but you can bring your own beer into the pool hall. A few of the 9 foot tables looked like they are well taken care of. those tables were in use when we arrived. We played on one of the corner tables. The simonis cloth was worn and the table had a slight roll on the bottom rail. On a Saturday night, there were 6 tables going making the room about 35% full. The location of this pool room makes it easier to find than BCA billiards. If I had a choice between the two rooms, I would play at Club Med over BCA.

2nd Avenue Corner Pocket – Menu with Prices – 609 2nd Ave SW, Cedar Rapids

Your average pool hall. Tables are $1 and the staff is pretty attentive, making sure you cup never runs dry. There is a league that plays pool here, so you may have to wait for a table if it’s during their playing time, but cozy up with a well made drink and it will be your time before you know it. Parking can be a challenge with the other bar that’s close by, but the tables are nice so I’d recommend giving Corner Pocket a try!

Cue’n Cushion Billiards & Bar – Menu with Prices – 319 Bank St, Ottawa

This place is fantastic. Seriously, I don’t normally say “wow knocks my socks off” but for a local pool hall with decent beer, this place wins all the way. A couple friends and I have been desperately trying to get better at pool. What better place than an actual pool hall. It’s right down the street from me which makes it EVEN better. Seriously, how could you go wrong. The place is full of tables. There are larger ones for a full game where you pay by the hour ($9) or smaller ones where you play per game ($1.50?). When you’re as ‘new’ as we are, paying per game is perfect. Although if you’ve got 4 or 5 of you per hour is good because you’re playing on a full table. The place is cash only but there’s an ATM in there to help you out. And the beer is great. They have 5 or 6 different beers on tap, including but NOT limited to Alexander Keith’s, they have some decent alternatives as well, and at $15 a pitcher it’s a great price to share a few pints while you play. The staff are fantastic, funny and attentive and there’s always a super diverse crowd. The whole place is a little “grungy” but it’s an upstairs pool hall, so you really, honestly, can’t expect anything else. It’s open super late and I’ve yet to show up and not be able to get a table. All in all, this pool hall it gets 5 stars from me!

The Hidden Spot – Menu with Prices – 2323 32 Ave NE #125, Calgary

This place was amazing I did play pool while I was there and was pleased to find the tables were of high quality. Also pleased to learn there are many masters and a few pro’s that play here. Anyone looking to learn how to play pool this would be the perfect place to start. Even the staff was very pleasant to speak with and acomadating as I had showed up 30 mins before closing time ( love that song closing time lol ) and she allowed me to play while she worked on closing, it had been a long night for her because it was the finals night for there league’s and I am sure she just wanted to go home and not serve anymore costumers. If I lived in Calgary I would frequently go to this place.

Austin’s Texas Pub Menu with Prices 3121 SW 6th Ave, Amarillo

This was our 1st bar of the night & our 1st time here. They had a live band later in the night that played classic rock & was really good. Great bartender. We played pool & came back later for the band. They have 2 pool tables & 4 dart boards. Happy Hour 7-7 with $2.00 longnecks & $2.50 after HH. $6.50 Double tall Malibu & Pineapple. Good prices on cocktails as well! Will be back for sure. Good size bar with plenty of room & the stage up in front with pool tables in the back.

Vector Bar & Arcade – Menu with Prices – 629 Cleveland St, Clearwater

My friends and I had a good time there. The bartender was really nice and my friends liked their selection of beer. I only gave it four stars because the video games to me were kind of lacking. I am an older person who was hoping to see more the 80’s popular games, but the ones they had I don’t think were that popular at all. I could be wrong though. I know I didn’t play any of them when I was growing up. They did have one table that had a lot of the old school games I played. But only one table. I did like their variety of pinball games, so I mostly played those. I would certainly go back again though.

White Diamond Billiards – Menu with Prices – 6722 Johnston St, Lafayette

White diamonds is the best place to hang out, have food, and shoot pool that Iâ??ve ever been in my life. The food is not â??bar foodâ? they have a full kitchen. Most importantly tho the tables are measured down to the thousandth and the felt is changed regularly. The pool tables are extremely well kept up and itâ??s the only place Iâ??ve ever seen that cleans and polishes the balls after each table rental. Punchline is, if you want to play pool this is the absolute best place to do it not just in Lafayette LA but over any pool hall or bar Iâ??ve ever been to. Also if you get hungry or donâ??t want to break the bank having a drink, or two, or three whoâ??s counting?! White diamonds is the spot.

Rack’Em Billiards And Sports Bar Menu with Prices 1919 S Havana St, Aurora

Full disclosure: I waited way too long to review this place. My first time here was incredible. It was just like you see in the pictures on yelp: Dark and Exciting. Every table was illuminated with black lights and glow sticks. A DJ, yes that’s right a DJ was there mixing up hip hop jams as women of questionable age groups grinded up against what ever their skanky little hearts desired. Did I mention this was a pool hall at the time? Yep. At the time, I had never played pool with tables outlined in glowsticks. I can’t truly describe how cool it felt to play a game in that kind of environment. I can’t really describe the overwhelming physical beauty of the servers who ensured we were entertained and always had a drink in hand. I can however tell you that they were simply dressed in tank top and black jeans and due to the darkness each server was required to wear necklaces that glowed in this dark environment….. All that changed when I was last there. It’s bright. The glow in dark stuff has been removed from every table. There is no DJ and there is a famine of women. If you don’t get a table initially you will be shooed out the door. The bar area you can sit at, but don’t expect the hostess to suggest you go there. I got lucky and got a table. The server was just the woman who signed us in. She didn’t serve us or even offer us drinks. My guess is she has abandoned the idea of getting tipped by customers. Long story short it was once exactly like the pictures you see. Now it is just your standard cheap pool hall. Don’t expect much because you won’t get much.

Break & Run – Menu with Prices – 1555 Goshen Ave, Fort Wayne

This was stop #3 of a boys night out, and we were all pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a place. It was clean, well lit, people were very friendly and all games were FREE! The sign on the door suggested a one drink minimum, but I don’t think many people were having any problems with that. Beers were $2 or $2.50 if you got them in a bucket. Besides the over 30 pool tables, there were probably 20+ dart boards, 10 corn hole games, and at least 1 air hockey table. We stuck to pool, and found the table in good condition, and we even found some house sticks that were not warped and had somewhat decent tips on them. Chalk for the sticks was found easily. I am sure that some of the tables are more worn than others, but I didn’t see any glaring problems with anything. I guess what struck me the most was how busy it was on a Thursday night. Probably 2/3rds of the tables were in use, and maybe 75% of the dart boards were being used. No one was playing corn hole. Music streamed from the 1970’s and early 1980’s, loud enough to hear easily, but not too loud. Bar selection left a little to be desired, but technically it’s a pool hall, not a bar. My buddy owns a store just a few doors down from this place, and the funny thing is that he’s never stepped foot in here before. I think we will be back!

Snack Shack KC – Menu with Prices – 3112 Strong Ave, Kansas City

This is an amazing place! It is a great place in the Argentine area for kids to go. It has several game tables pool air hockey and foosball. They also have snack foods. I went and played a board game with my youngest son and the staff was so nice a friendly. This place was create by students who saw a problem and solved it with the snack shack. If you have a chance to go just to play some games with your kid do it.

Lucky’s Pool Room – Menu with Prices – 4601 S May Ave, Oklahoma City

The place is now called Lucky’s Pool Room. Went here on a Wednesday evening befor a concert at the Diamond Ballroom with my 18 year old daughter to play some pool. We walked in & all the Regulation tables were taken on the entrance side which was no big deal. We went to the other side & played on the bar tables which was fine with us. The jukebox was in this room as well, so we got to enjoy playing some tunes. By the time we left most of the the bar tables were being used. We had a good time & will be back for sure. Cold beer available as well. Nice friendly service.
