Not that I was a particularly active poster on here, but I did spend a considerable amount of time perusing the forum and posting sparingly. Well, until a few months back when life really took over and I didn't have the time for much pool, or scanning the forum. I moved from MI to TX, and now feel like it's time to break the cues out again. Only one problem... Austin is a huge place and I can't seem to find a good place to just go and shoot.
Granted, I've only been here 2 days, and i've only headed downtown so far (I'm about a 5 minute drive from 6th street). But does anyone know of good bars where you can go throw quarters up on the table and challenge? Or a GOOD pool hall? I spent about 10 minutes shooting at buffalo billiards, just to get out of the apartment the first day I got here, and i was very disappointed in it. Took the balls back and left. Also, where are the weekly tournaments around here? And any suggestions on leagues? Right now I'm a little tight for cash, BUT once I get working (once I find a job that is lol) Joining a good pool league is a priority.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
