    Thinking of opening a room

    Why? Why is there only one room? What alternatives are in the area for entertainment? What are the demographics, median income, population, employment rate?

    What is the most important thing in a successful pool hall?

    Cyclop Balls in pool halls

    Nice. The Room down the street from me just got all new Diamonds and the vendor gave them Cyclops Balls. Two balls have split in half. Both have been replaced. Less than a year in use. Glad they guarantee them but still a bit delicate for a commercial environment. Still use Aramiths Premiers in...

    smoking or no smoking

    Smoking is banned in St. Louis City and County and multiple smaller cities around the state of MO. Our business went up dramatically after smoking was banned. Three of our competitors got temporary exemptions and all of them went under. Less people smoke than ever.

    New Poolhall Owner : Center Pocket

    Follow the money and not the suggestions. Be flexible in what brings in the money. If darts and foosball bring in high dollars, treat those customers great even if it means taking out a pool table. You will always get thousands of suggestions from people who have never owned and started a...

    Room cleaning

    That is an impressive routine. We struggle with keeping up doing our room at half the rate of yours. Some things we do more (sweeping cigs off the sidewalk several times a day) but most are less and it is overwhelming. Great list and schedule.

    Is this forum losing members, or losing interest?

    Drastic drop since it's heyday. Too many keyboard warriors that want to get into arguments just for arguments sake. I used to post daily. This is my third visit this year.

    What's needed for a successful league?

    As long as the owner is making more money or losing less money than a traditional night. If you pick the night the owner only makes $100.00 and there is enough players to make MORE than $100.00 in reduced table time or snack sales you can work it out. We have league two nights a week in my room...

    monthly fees

    Perception of owners vs customers is very different. Truth is we have not even come close to breaking even on pool time in most of the 50 years we have been in business. Keep in mind we have ZERO rent with that claim. Pool players many times pick a place based on rates only. Not all players...
