I've played Julians and Chelsea in NYC and Chris's in Chicago. Gotta say there's nothing like the feel of an old time pool hall.
My local hall was a little joint with 12 tables run by "Rocky". He was a 9-ball pro with some success but not enough to be famous. We'd hit there three or four...
I'd love to play ya but I tore a rotator cuff last fall and the shoulder still isn't right. I'm only about an hour north of the City. Amsterdam is a great place. You'll enjoy it. Have a good Trip
