What counts as a bar with pool tables

Lots of bars have a pool table in the back, but few say so anywhere you can check. A bar, pub or restaurant gets listed here only when one of these is true:

  1. Its Google reviews talk about the pool tables or about playing pool there. We quote one of those sentences.
  2. Its own website mentions pool tables or billiards.

A bar whose reviews say "pool" but mean a swimming pool is left out. A table count appears only when the bar's website, its Google description or a review states a number. We don't count tables ourselves, and tables come and go, so call ahead.

Playing pool in a bar

The tables are usually smaller
Most bars have 7-foot tables, often called bar boxes. Pool halls more often have 9-foot tables. On a bar box the balls are closer together and the pockets come up fast, so a shot that is easy at home can feel different.
Coin-op or free: it varies
Some tables take coins or a card, some are free, and at some bars you ask for the balls at the counter. We don't list prices or hours. Call ahead.
Getting the next game
When the table is busy, many bars keep a chalkboard list or let players line up coins on the rail to hold their place. Ask the bartender or a regular how it works there. At a lot of bars the winner keeps the table.
House cues
Bar cues get a lot of use. Roll one across the table to check that it is straight, pick one with a good tip, and chalk before your shots. Ask before you bring your own cue.
League nights
Some bars host pool leagues, and on league night the tables may be taken by teams. See pool leagues, or call to ask when the tables are open for casual play.

Questions about bars with pool tables

What counts as a bar with pool tables here?
A bar, pub or restaurant is listed only when its Google reviews or its own website show that it has pool tables. Each bar shows that review sentence, or says where the proof comes from.

Most bar tables are 7-foot tables, often called bar boxes. Pool halls more often have 9-foot tables, the size used in pro events, and some have 8-foot tables too. We show a bar's table count only when its website, its Google description or a review states it.
Is pool free at a bar?
It varies. Some bars have coin-operated tables, some let you play for free, and at some you ask for the balls at the bar. We don't list prices, so call the bar before you go.
