No pool halls near the convention center that I know of. I would rec. Clicks on Howell Branch Road, or Cuephoia(non smoking) on Semoran Road, they are only about 2 miles from each other. These would be about 30 minutes from the c.c. PM me if you are going and I will try to make it up there and meet you. Both places have action but not the BIG action you see in other places.
