Chris's Billiards

Iconic poolroom, good diamond tables 7ft and 9ft, snooker tables and 3-cushion billiards tables. A pool players delight!

It's a cool and safe place. It's cheap too. It's byob and there are 2 liquor stores within 1 or 2 blocks. Movies have been made here and often on, you can see some good players. It's safe enough to bring friends and family

This is my kind of joint. Quiet, not too crowded, plenty of tables and space. No one bothers you and no rush/lines for tables since there are *41* to choose from. Will definitely come back and make it my practice pad.

This is the spot!! It is super chill and I love that it’s low key. Everyone is on their own thing and you Can bring your own beer.

Historic pool hall, one of the filming locations for the "Color Of Money". I stopped in on a weekday afternoon. Probably half of the tables were in use in the main room by the time I left. The fellow working the counter was helpful, and he and I spent some time talking about the movie. There were a number of skilled shooter there, some playing 3-cushion billiards, others one-pocket and a few playing rotation games. One player had his names stitched on his case, so I looked him up and discovered he's about a 700 Fargo. Pretty sporty. Pocket billiard tables were all 9-foot Diamonds that I could see. I think they were blue label. Cloth on some was looking pretty worn, and the furniture and floors were old and scruffy. My table played fine - rolls and bounces were true. Balls were heavily used but serviceable. House cues were in just OK shape - at least the ones near my table. No alcohol - just pop and snack food. You can bring in beer and wine, apparently.
