We visited Yale Billiards this past Saturday night and it was such a great experience. I was a little worried at first since we just had came from a dinner location that definitely was not following COVID guidelines but when I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. They had hand sanitizer when you first walk in, the place was immaculately clean, the bar was closed off but the bartender welcomed us as soon as we stepped into the place. They quickly set us up at a table that made us feel like they cared about the 6 feet away guidelines, took our drink orders and let us start our game. The bartender came by a few times to make sure we were all set with our drinks and refilled quickly when we asked for a refill.

And when I finally progressed to a cane, there he was again, this time egging me to walk my first 20 steps with no help. And not to mention, he helped my wife surprise me with my dream cue, a Predator P3.
Yes, there are other good places to shoot in the state. But this place has a warm nonsmoking atmosphere where everybody wears their mask properly. Its too bad I'm moving to Georgia. You guys are like family.
Yale will always be #1 in my heart.
Ya'll...
