Sorry man, pool and cuzing, laughter, drinking amongst other things go hand in hand. This place doesn't allow any of that. Went for the 1st time the other day owner said in a very calm way that I smelled of alcohol. I said well yeah I was drinking at the house but now I want to practice some pool because the league I play in starts in a week and according to Google your open 24 hrs. He made it very clear that they open at 1pm and close at 2am. Though of course if business is slow they will shut down early. That day for example 1am. The old man owner seems to be a family man I get it. He let me stay and practice while he cleaned charged me 4.00 for about 40 minutes that I ended up playing. I pretty much got the green light to play because I happened to mention one of his regulars that I happen to know. I was all alone one side has 8 carambola tables (didn't realize people play carambola that much!) Side I was on has 2 snookers (Google it) and 6 regulation tables.( no bar tables :( ) oh and two of the six regulation tables have "shrunkened" corner pockets by design which was kind of a cool concept. I hate kids so I could not imagine ever going back during the day but in a pinch probably go in for a late night round of practice pool by myself. 7.50 an hour could probably play about 40 games in that time. Would never go with friends. I cuz way too much and I enjoy drinking. Would recommend for someone that's going to AA and wants to play pool but is afraid to go to a bar. (Hell they even have free coffee.) Everybody is entitled to be the way they want to be especially with your business, but this place is just to family friendly. which they don't hide by the way. The owner will tell you straight up. That's why I can only do 2 stars. But if you take away my bias against family oriented places and I judge the place based on pool tables alone then they probably deserve 4stars for God's sake the have 2...

Brought my son here with a few of his friends to celebrate his 16th bday yesterday, Wednesday. Plenty of pool tables and other tables for different games played there. They have a snack bar. No alcohol, but this place is all ages, so it's okay. They do not allow outside food or drinks. The price is $15 an hour per table, we got 3 tables for a few hours. There's parking on Atlantic or behind the pool hall in the alley. They are open nightly until 2am. Luckily, my son's friends' parents let the kids stay until 10:30 pm, being it was a school night. All the kids had fun and can't wait until they...

Me and my friend walked in there with our monster energy drinks and the old guy im guessing the owner said to us that we need to drink them outside.. And so then i told him hey, what if i drink it right away then throw it in the trash he still said no.. So we left way...
