In Chicago it varies a lot. As cheap as $2 per/hour to as much as $18 an hour for a table if there are 3 or more playing. Depends on what day, what time, how busy, who's working, etc...

Bar tables are usually $1, sometimes $1.25, rarely $0.75

11 Diamond 9 foot tables and 8 Diamond 7 for tables.

11:00 AM to 6:00 PM M-F
Pool is free

This is hard to believe but about 2 years ago they paid you $1.00 an hour to play in the afternoons!

This has piqued my curiosity. How do they make money during the day? Food/beer sales? How much do they charge at night?

LOL

I ain't no officer. Those folks are the only ones I see being called "Brother". But you can call me whatever ya like, so long as it ain't late fer dinner! :p

We have a scotch double tournament every Thursday night, a local in-house league on Saturdays, and travelling tournaments vs other clubs from all over the state, about every other month or so. And as I said earlier, we host APA 8-ball, too.

It is a pretty good organization, from what I've seen. Of course there are the usual petty politics that any organization has, but I have nothing but good to say about The Eagles Club from my experience.

I used to play at Rack'em in Aurora, CO when it was $5 from open to 5PM then it was like 1.75 an hour a person after that. But after several chainges in ownership they dont do that anymore. I currently play at the Wynkoop Downtown Denver, CO Mon - Fri Free pool till 6 i believe then its 2.75 an hour.

Anywhere from $3 to $10 per hour around town for the 9 footers. Several rooms give free table time to league players who play out of their room.

Here in Finland the normal rate is from 6-10 euros per hour. But there is a lot of pubs with only one 9 footer, that let you play for free. Guess they think the revenue they get from the beer is more than what the table time would otherwise get them.
