The Thirsty Hound & South Jersey Billiards — Local services in Somerdale

So let's put this place into perspective. South Jersey Billiards was once called Fat Alberts. Most folks will tell you that Fat Alberts was a first ballot hall of fame hot mess. The new owners busted their humps to solve all of the systemic issues that were haunting this billiard hall and bar. It is now the only premier location in South Jersey catering to all of us pool hall junkies. The only constructive criticism I might have is the availability of tables. With all of the league play, sometimes it is difficult to find a table. And when someone wants to double up on a table, the price per hour is the same. In my humble opinion, I do believe that a discount system on a table, let's say on busy league nights, would be advantageous to both the overflow of patrons and ownership. Double night, date night, or challenge your friend night? Some great promotion that allows 2 players to play on one table with a discount promotion? Anyway... I do hope that this one idea will solve many problems. Side bar note... Until a promotion, like the above-mentioned, is ever implemented, please do not cheat out the owners. If you are playing on someone else's table, please let the front desk know, and take care to pay for...

This is the finest billiard facility in southern New Jersey. Friendly staff and great management.

You are all welcome here. Stop by and check it out. Management is quite adamant that all are welcome.

Bob is the owner and he is great. He has created the perfect environment. This is a fun place to hang out.

The food is absolutely delicious. The drinks came out perfect. Coming here is always a great experience. You can bring a date here and have so much fun. You can even bring your family. The place is safe and clean and very welcoming.

Lately we have been bringing our friends here and they love it. Last evening we had really good wings and fries and mozzarella sticks. We all played a series of rotation games at one table.

They have both large and regular size tables. And lots of them. We never have to wait in line.

We are regular customers. Always a great experience.

See Rob behind the counter in the pool hall. He is awesome 😎

The whole place is well maintained and very comfortable. The tables are well maintained. The bathrooms are clean and fully functional.

I highly recommend this billiard...

Got tired of sitting in traffic on the Jersey turnpike. So I actually searched for pool halls near me. And this one came up. It was only 20 minutes away. I'm glad I went. This is a nice pool hall with a restaurant / bar. There are plenty of tables and they are very good condition. I think about 10 7 ft tables. I also believe they have regulation size tables in the back but I don't know how many. I met Bob one of them owners very friendly guy. There are snacks and refreshments in the pool hall area. I was told that they do have 8 ball and 9 ball tournaments. When I was leaving the bar and restaurant side was just opening up. That was at about 5:00. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a side order of onion rings. The bacon cheeseburger was cooked perfect and good seasoning. The fries are also very good there and so were the onion rings. No complaints here. Next time I'm down in this area I will factor in a little bit extra time to visit this place...
