Name a pool hall you wish was still open today

I'll even give another one. Gentlemen's Cue, also known as Bennie's Billiards, in Reisterstown, Maryland. Basically the north east edge of Baltimore. Mike Sigel showed up quite often in the 80s. It had a club type atmosphere. And good players.
All the best,

Banana’s in San Antonio. They plan to reopen it soon. Great place for pool and rail birds.
Dammit Jay,
That four-year brief period might have been 30+ by now.....

I was gonna say Crystal Palace too, but I meant the one in Winnipeg. Tons of memories growing up there watching the local greats and the occasional road players come through town. Tough action for sure.
I have fond memories of the Velvet Rail.
...owned by Joe Farhat, the patron saint of the WPBA.
Joe was a force in the game...lotta great players played there.
I second this. I wasn't what you would call a regular, but went to school at Kent State in the early 90's. Often enough made the trip looking for action. Always found what we were looking for. Ran into Troy Frank and his crew often enough to become friendly.
Cotton Bowling Palace in Dallas
at least there was always action and fun
Rusty's in Dallas on Loop 12 was also quite a pool room
I enjoyed playing at truebloods in Oklahoma city
right up toll i ran into Nprm Hitchcock
I guess any of these places would be fun if the players were the same

The Ball Room,Toms River N.J.
It was in an old bowling alley completely remodeled.
Good food.
Video game room with about 30 machines.
36 Gold Crown tables with room for 10 or 12 more.
Packed every night with a long waiting list for a table.
Any one that walked in could get played from the locals.
I was a local and played anyone that walked through the door if they were unknown.
Beat some and got beat by some.
Great room.

Yes we did! I miss it all the time, hard to see just empty land when I drive by from time to time.
