The food prices are lower than I'd expect in such a pricey area. I didn't expect any decent import beer under $10 in the city. $7 Sapporo is about the same as I see in Florida.

Ok, but...

They do have leagues, but unless they have discounts, that's too expensive for most. The ten dollar bump from 3 to 4 doesn't make sense to me.

Had to figure table rates were high, maybe I was scared to bother looking.

Seems about right for the location. Still cheaper than Manhattan!

A similar place opened in SF during the early to mid 90's following the Color of Money boom called The Great Entertainer. It too had great food (a complete sit down restaurant a beautiful bar featuring all kinds of beers and spirits). This room was big with private rooms with pools tables and glass doors, a main floor with around 45 Gold Crowns, two snooker table and a billiard table. It had a full schedule of USPPA and NPL tournaments and leagues during the week (in fact I played in one of Bob and Gene's NPL tournaments). It also had a parking lot, but it too could not defy the laws of economic gravity and had to close in just short time. We'll see what happens with this new place,,

It levels at 10 bucks per. The greed makes sense.

It is a place for SF Yuppies making 250K/year to hang out, lie, & play Pool. How long will it last who cares?

It's still open in San Mateo, right? Or is that one unrelated?

It is much more gentrified now, but still not safe in my opinion. I visited a friend there in her condo. It was one bedroom, very small, about 600 sq ft, her and her husband paid $850K for it a few years ago.

Its beyond me how anyone lives out there. If you don't make half-a-mil a yr you're a deadbeat.

Related, I think. The SF Great Entertainer was forced out by the lease and then the tech bubble burst around 2000 and the development didn't happen, as I recall.

yes the smaller version TGE is still open in San Mateo
