We have action evry Friday and Saturday night at the Flamingo, sometimes we have a 9 ball bar box tourney on the back tables if we have enough players, cheap $5 dollar entry, you can always get a game in the front room on the gold crown.
Cookie,
Did you make the move or are you just on vacation in FL?

Crooked Cue Pool Hall has a "B" tourney on 1st Sunday
and an Open Tourney on 3rd Sunday. Start at 12pm for practice and sign-up and start at 1pm.
Entry is $15 I think and includes all the play time. Lasts about 5 to 6 hours. Has a unique knock-out format, you get like 5 chips, each is a loss, when you are out of chips you are out of the tourney.

in the process of moving, within 2 weeks will be there for good.
That's right. Can't wait. The room is Top Hat Billiards and Dance Lounge. 13 brand new diamonds. Beautiful room.:thumbup:
I play quite a bit at the Crooked Cue. They get a pretty decent turn out for the monthly tourny's.
Flamingo has always been an action place. How long has it been open? I know it was open and had plenty of action in 1980 when I moved to FL from NY. Johnnyt
Dale bought it in 1969, when you walk in, some of it still looks like 1969 LOL wood grain panel walls, old bar stools bolted to the ground, mixed with flat screens, the 2 bar boxes are still .50 cent tables.
My Tampa Bay!!!
Sorry but a lot of the links are from Facebook.
Peabodys- Bruce B. Downs (New Tampa)- is always my No. 1 It's North of USF. - 20 tables, awesome food. No Smoking. Great service. Hot Girls. Free bar tab Thursday tourneys
Barleys- Anderson Blvd- Opened in February 2012. 6 tables. No Smoking. Pretty inside, great food but a tad bit small.
Fatso's- Bush Blvd (near USF)- Lots of action. Tourney's left and Right- Lots of big money changing hands on the betting tables in the back (usually 1 pocket $200 matches). 20 Tables. Enough smoke to give you Second had cancer. I've heard the food is good but I haven't conjured up the nerve to try it yet.
Bulls Club- Fowler Ave (Near USF)- Smoking is allowed. I only drink bottled things from there. There is usually 1 waiter there and 50 people. 20 tables, lots of retirees. Quiet and very relaxed atmosphere.
Hammer Heads -Holiday FL Their facebook page shows a tourney coming up on 9/29 $40 to get in but $1,500 for the winner. I think they have a few 10 foot diamond tables. I've never been but I plan on visiting. Corey Duel has been spotted there.
Planet 9 Ball - Hillsborough Ave. I haven't been there in years. But I always enjoyed it there. But, I don't know what kind of action they have.

Ah, okay. I only have been up to Strokers in Palm Harbor for the APA Nationals last year. Very nice place. Great bar. I wonder how they do during non-APA Nationals time?
Freddie <~~~ bar ready
Good for you. I remember you mentioning it before on another thread.
Hoping I can do the same in the near future.

There used to be great tournaments at Strokers in palm harbor but they decided to pick and choose who can play and who cant and that attitude has really killed most tournaments in this area. I believe hammerheads has also followed suit.
Sucks because this used to be a good area for tournaments
