Amazin Billiards — Attraction in Malden

I, my wife and daughter spent about 2 hours here today playing pool (my daughter and I played, WifeMom was our cheerleader); it was our first visit, I had found them by chance by Googling. Park on the street before 5 PM, since the parking lot is for another business; walk in the door and up the stairs at 40 Faulkner St.; there is no obvious sign. It was spacious, well-lit, clean (bottles of hand sanitizer around) and quiet, even though about 17 out of 18 tables were in constant use. The tables and equipment looked to be well maintained. The man at the register introduced himself as Tom McGonagle; he was very nice when we arrived, when he stopped by our table to chat briefly and ask if we were enjoying ourselves, and when we were checking out. I just saw a web site that says that he is Amazin's House Pro, he is well known and has played in tournaments around the country, is a New England Hall of Famer, author of the book Right on Cue (on Amazon, which calls it "a good old-fashioned heartwarming love story filled with integrity, a keen wit and gets to the heart of what makes a family tick"), and is highly respected at A'Mazin Billiards and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and we'll return. Maybe WifeMom will...

I also got to meet a nice man named Jacomo (probably butchered his name) who taught us a nice lesson of snooker! Kind man and got to have a tour.

Park in the lot and come up through the stairs, eventually you'll see the...

Hands down the best pool hall in the greater Boston area! All the tables are immaculately maintained with plenty of space between tables to play with out interference. The balls are cleaned in a ball cleaning machine after each use. The tables are vacuumed with a special wet dry vacuum daily to keep chalk out of the cloth. There are 4 3 cushion billiards tables. There are weekly leagues and weekly tournaments. Rates are the lowest in the area. They also sell cues and accessories. The place is quiet and full of regulars who are expert players. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing...
