Thanks for answering the question! I agree

When playing in a bar (I know, don't play pool in bars) how do you feel about the 8 ball shot having to go in "clean" without touching opponent's ball? I would like to be able to call the shot as either "clean" or "off a rail" or "carom off opponent's ball". If I make the called shot, I win...

Can anyone recommend a good point of sale system for a pool hall (with liquor, light food menu, and sale accessories)?

LOL Great point!

In a bar last night, I wanted to hit my object ball (stripe) into the pocket by hitting it off of the 8 ball. Cue ball would strike the object ball first, then contact the 8 ball before going into the called pocket. My opponent argued I could not call that shot because the 8 ball is neutral...

This is a question primarily for owners of pool halls in urban areas: What percentage of your customers live within a mile of your pool hall? How far away can you draw customers? How close do most of your customers live? Appreciate any info you can give.

So he expanded his bar to add tables? Is it at the same location? Why do you think he's doing so poorly? Is it the market he's in? Location? I assume his tavern was doing well before or he wouldn't have added a pool room.

Thanks for that. Sounds like a pretty low percentage, but I'll take it into account.

Great info. Really appreciate it. I totally agree about Players not drinking, and I definitely want to go after the 24 - 34 market. Tell me what you think of the way I'm projecting table rentals: Open hours - 76 per week. 8 tables. 76 x 8 = 608 available table hours per week (87 per...

I'm working on projection numbers for a pool hall, and I need some statistics from current pool hall owners: (1) what's the average percentage of your tables that are rented in a day. For example: you have 10 tables and you're open 10 hours for a total of 100 hours per day. How many of those...
