I have to take a week long trip to Boston for work and I'm not familiar with the area. Anybody shed some light on some good rooms?
Boston Pool Rooms

I would just like to warn you that this Boston pool hall have a dress code for PAYING customers and I find that absolutely ridiculous and even somewhat fascist.

That is NH, and what dress code? I was there for a tournament and plenty of people were in nothing fancy. If you are talking about things like no-arm t-shirts or pants down to your knees, I would fully agree with that rule.
Will you have access to a car?
Best room near there is probably Amazin in Malden, it's a member room but you can still get a table, although there may be a waiting list. In Boston there is Jillians, Boston Bowl, Flattop Johnnies but none of those are good "players" rooms.
In Ayer there is The Billiards Café which is the room I consider my home room, they just got new cloth and new rails put on.
Unless you are there next week when I'll be in Vegas, I'd be glad to meet up after work in Ayer if you can get there. I'm back home the 10th.
What's wrong with wearing a tank top? Dress codes are just silly to me especially in a paying customers establishment in a supposedly to be free country.
Freedom includes the right to set a dress code in a place that you own. It's the owner's property, not yours.
If an owner thinks no tank tops is a good policy for business (maybe trying to get an after work crowd?), then get a shirt or go elsewhere.
Of course i would go somewhere else, no questions about that. I don't like fascism.
Could you imagine going in to play pool on a hot summer day and you're wearing shorts and a tank top that is more than appropriate and some clown comes up to you and asks you to leave because of what you wear when you are about to pay them money because you're a potential customer;... Is that really what this world has come to? What a joke.

Nothing if you are at the beach, working out, at your Alabama family reunion or at a swamp. I think shirts without arms look silly outside of a few areas and seems like so do the people at Boston Billiards. Which by the way is not in Boston, they closed that location a while ago. Which was too bad and a bit odd, it was pretty busy when I used to go there and actually had some decent players there unlike Jillians.
There was a guy playing on the Snookers Wed tournament stream in a shirt like that, you should have read the comments on the chat.
I need to put a picture up of the back of the menu my regular pool room has, they have their rules of the room, which includes a sort of a dress and conduct code.
The world has always been like that. 40 years ago if you were not in a suit and hat you looked under dressed.
Don't care how much money there spending! My place, my rules!
You WILL look presentable(by MY standards) or you will simply LEAVE!
If there is a certain type of crowd I'm looking to appeal to, and youre not it,,,, guess what? You're not it
it's pretty simple and if you don't get it, then you're not intelligent enough to have this conversation with.Let me ask you this, if a friend invites you to a wedding and the dress code is slacks and shirt with dress/casual shoes. Do you adhere to the dress code??
(Do you know what "adhere" means?)

Of course I would not go to your place of business if it promotes fascism.
Trying to insult me saying I am not intelligent because I don't agree with your opinion is what makes a person not intelligent in my opinion.
The problem is when establishments do not set and enforce dress codes you have people walking around with the waist of their pants at their knees and you are staring at their underwear. Next you get sideways baseball hats, then baseball hats turned to the other side because it apparently means something and they are trying to intimidate the first group of sideways baseball hat wearers and continues to escalate until there are bullets flying around the parking lot or maybe even in side. That is stuff I choose not to subject myself to so I would be more than happy to be a customer of this establishment.The rather benign dress code they have seems to be a pretty minor form of fascism compared to what it takes to get on an airplane in the present.
I don't know where you live but I never see people with pants waist at their knee's...
What's wrong with wearing a cap?
