Places closer to City or NW suburbs
Places closer to City or NW suburbs (since you are going to Beloit) ... Chris' Billiards on Milwaukee Avenue is a place to check out... they filmed a scene in Color of Money there (it was the scene where Vincents GF said "You know what I smell?" and vincent said "Smoke" and she replied "no Money"... the pool action was filmed elsewhere, but those lines were done at Chris'.
Chris' II in Des Plaines has regular tourneys as does Cuephoria on the near west side... Near Downtown is a great hall for dinner called G-Cue... they mix fine dining with pool...
SW Suburbs (Orland Park) has a top rated pool hall named Pro-Tyme, I am not sure if it is still poen.
