I'm writing this review not from my experience at the place, but the experience I received from the store employee there. I parked my car in front of this billiards place, so I can eat dinner a few doors over. When I walked back, someone spat on my driver side window. I'm thinking, " What the -?".
I walk into this place, and instantly I see this middle aged man with glasses sleeping...seriously? It's still daylight, you have a couple in here playing and you decide to sleep? After waking him up, I ask politely, "Do you have paper towels? Someone spat on my window". He's just silent for a moment and says 'toilet'. While I'm getting some toilet paper, I just hear him saying, "If you're not going to come here, then don't park here. There are other parking spaces available" blah blah blah.
Seriously dude? First off, it's PUBLIC parking, with no signs saying it's reserved for this business or any other. Secondly, it's bad for business, because not only are you incapable of working, but you're promoting bad impressions on potential customers. No wonder this place is empty. I like playing billiards, but I won't ever come here to play.
The balls, tables and cue sticks are all in decent condition. I like to come here and play pool rather than like.. round 1 because their tables/balls/sticks are horrendous. You see the owner polishing and maintaing the equipment here.
Also there are free drinks in the fridge: tea, soda, water, etc. It's $10/hr here. Half the area is filled with pool tables the other half is another game. I don't know what's it's called actually, looks like pool tables without the pockets.
A lot of the players that come here do look like what they're doing. But I'm a noobie and I still like to come here and have fun with my friends. Pretty chill place, pretty quiet though.
The owner remembers you after you've gone a few times. He's really chill so sometimes he'll knock off a few bucks from your bill (which is decently cheap anyhow)
Hands down my favorite pool room in the local area..
In a nutshell: level tables, felt rolls fair, straight cues, clean balls, free drinks while playing, well maintained, well lit
$8 happy hour 6 days a week, $10 any other time. Â If you come in 2+ times a week and the owner knows you, he will give you a couple bucks off almost every single time, make it a point to say hi whenever you go. Â
They also have a "frequent player card" that gives you 1 free hour of table time for every 10 hours played. Â They don't advertise it, so again.. ask for it.
Minor downsides, a lot of smokers.. if they don't close the door you'll smell it inside. Â Also, if you're not Asian.. you might not feel particularly welcome, but as long as you mind your own table you'll be perfectly safe ; )
Korean Pool. This place is really pretty nice. The tablets felts are good, the walls are good. THe owner has a ball polisher so everytime you play its like a brand new set of balls.
Half the place is the sagu game and the rest are pocket tablets. Usually pretty packed, but just come and hang out, they open late. Free drinks when you play too (water,tea, soda).
