Sandcastle Billiards

I don't play pool very well. A game will very well take me, 15-20 minutes (which I think is long in pool time, especially since I'm probably not doing any fancy bank shots or anything), but I don't care I still like playing, and even more so watching awesome players kick ass.
That's what Sandcastle is for!
My good buddy Dan C (not a Yelper, just don't want to put his whole government out here on this site) is basically a famous pool player who has been on ESPN and been featured in billiards magazines introduced me to this upper echelon pool hall, and I'm quite smitten with it!
Why? Because you can come in, bring yourself a beer or cocktail or whatever and watch old-school and new-school pool gurus compete against each other. Sandcastle does not serve alcohol, I think because even though some may consider pool a bar sport, these guys take it VERY seriously and no one wants a drunk butthead running around with a chalked cue.
There's a bunch of tables and they're bigger than anything you've seen at your local pub. There's also a giant one in the back of the house that is used during televised tournaments. Don't want to play pool? There's a couch in the front where you can lounge around and play PS3 or XBOX games.
For the pool aficionado in your life, Sandcastle has a few fancy accessories for purchase, such as special chalks, tutorial DVDs, uh..and a bunch of other things that I don't know what they do. *shrug*
There's special nights with special deals for the tables, you can order whatever food in the area you want, BYOB, and basically just kick it on a couch for however long you want. Score!

Place is pretty cool for what it is...more importantly, where it is.

It's kind of like Fat Cat in NYC, but it's not...namely because it's not in NYC and I have passed it 1 Million times.

Anyway...the owner is super cool. When we got there, he was working on building a stage in the back of the place...that is awesome.

There's tons of pool tables and ping pong tables. There is also foosball and on the website it says there is another game room in the back apparently for things like checkers or chess.

I think it was $6 per person per hour and he has nights where there are student specials or specials for the ladies...that kinda thing.

This is prob the first time I've ever used a jukebox at a joint and it was pretty cool to play whatever you want while you PLAYED whatever you want.

Get it? Haha...yeah.

Ahem.
