The Cue Ball

  Cue Ball is the BEST pool hall in town.
  
  First off this is a pool hall not a bar. No smoking or drinking. All ages are welcome. Cue Ball has been around in Salem for 60 years. It's looks shady from the outside but it's nice and safe. You are charged by the hour and the amount of players. I think it's $3 for two people per hour, not bad. All the tables are in good shape. The sticks are another thing; they are drop and played hard with. If you want a perfect stick buy one or bring your own. They have a pro shop on sit too. Just place to hang out with friend and play pool. Cue Ball has a great reputation in Salem. The staffs are friendly and very helpful.

  I pass by here so much and didnt realize it was a place to play pool.
  On one side, it sells equipments and tables for pool.
  
  Con:
  -parking, it is street and diagonal, and traffic is one way, so be careful backing out!
  - this place is really shady looking. It is not even downtown, well barely there.
  - little old but it works!

  My family and I come here once and awhile to play -- and its usually not too busy.  They have two larger rooms to play in.  Its very inexpensive, so its very family friendly.  Staff is usually friendly.  If you're eating next door at Sassy Onion, stop by and play a bit afterwards...it's fun!

  Years ago, this spot looked like a shady area in a part of downtown that was near bars, a nearby bus station, suspect biz, and full of what seemed to be bikers.  Fast forward a decade or two, the non-smoking establishment looks cleaned up as do the neighboring businesses.  They now pride themselves on being the premier destination for all things pool-related and seem family friendly.  I've noticed a major influx of nearby Willamette students and young folks citing this spot as a relaxing time to shoot pool and the place looks as classic as ever.
  
  Prices are good here and there are plenty of tables.  Since there no smoking, it makes a world of difference giving patrons an opportunity to smell like crap.  The spacious gap between tables could be wider, at least to where there isn't an occasional poke from the near table, which is a normal thing in most pool halls anyway.  In the next room over, there are some tables for sale as well and most that I've seen are in very good condition.
