How we count
We count only the places we list. Each one starts as a Google Maps listing. A pool hall is listed when Google types it as a pool hall or billiards club and its name, reviews, website or description confirm pool. A bar or other venue is listed, as a bar with pool tables, only when its reviews or its own website say it has pool tables. Places whose recent reviews say they closed are left out. A place counts as a league venue when at least two of its reviews mention its leagues, a review or its website names a league, or its website lists league play. For 359 venues the proof is in reviews only, for 150 it is the place's website only, and for 91 it is both. A place that hosts leagues but never says so is not counted, so the real number is higher. We don't publish league fees or schedules: ask the place or the league's local operator. Last updated 2026-11-08.
