Looking for the best pool hall in Illinois? We don't grade places ourselves.

From their reviews

“So fun!! Our most recent visit to Jupiter's at the Crossing was for our Granddaughters seventh birthday. The birthday girls mom's got one of Jupiter's party package that providered 30 minutes of free play for our granddaughter plus a card with 50 credits for each of the kids attending the party to play the games.”

“Really great looking place. Perfect place for watching a major sports event on the many great quality televisions.(imo) The delicious Jamaican jerk tacos were a hit. Great big place for a good size crowd and a nice quiet place to enjoy some conversation.”

“This was my 1st time here. I had a great time. Very spacious place with a lot to offer( gaming, pool tables(7), darts, beer pong tables(2), concert room. I will definitely come back to see a live band or just for drinks.”

Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time. A high score means many reviewers liked a hall, not that we vouch for it. We don't list prices, and hours come from Google: confirm before you go.
