Hard Times Billiards

This place really taught me how to play pool. There is no place with better competition. You want to improve your game? Go here. Period. Want to have fun? Come here. What else could be said?

Staff is awesome and people are friendly.. You want to test your game, there are plenty of people willing to play. Home of Hustlin and Playthegame clothing

Great place, I have won a few tournaments here, cheap beer and fun for anybody!!!

When I was a teenager my sister worked at Hard Times and I was in there all the time. I hadn't been back in over a decade until recently. Besides the obvious pool hall aspect (which is always good for some laid-back fun) I was delighted by another aspect: a fellow nerd girl working there!
Our friend who works near Hard Times was on his lunch break, so we all went there for a beer. He introduced us to the girl behind the bar, who quickly joined in our random movie conversation. I was digging talking with her so much that even after our friend had to get back to work, we stayed another hour just shooting the breeze with her about movies, anime, manga, pop culture and random geekdom.
So grab some greasy delicious bar food (try the nachos!), play a round of pool/an arcade game/a song on the jukebox, and chat up that cool bartendress while you're grabbing a drink. BOOM, a good time shall be had by all!
