I'm in Conway quite a bit to visit my brother. I was just there this past weekend. I don't honestly know of any places to play pool there, but I'd think there has to be something somewhere. Chances are that it isn't worth it.
HOWEVER, do yourself a favor and drive to Russellville, which is about 40 min. away. It's right down the interstate and it's an EASY drive.
Take Exit 84. Turn left at the 1st Stop sign.
Turn left at the next Stop sign which takes you up and across the overpass. Go thru a stoplight. Just a few hundred feet ahead is a Staples store. Turn left on the side street next to it. That's Shamrock (I think). If you pass McDonald's, you've gone too far. Down on your right is a non-descript building (behind the Staples) called Beezer's Fine Billiards. Great place to shoot some pool.
They have 12 Diamond 8-foot Pro-Ams in the front room. That part is non-smoking. In the back, they have a separate door to a smoking room with some other tables. Don't know what they are, because I don't smoke and don't care to go back there to find out.
Everyone is really nice and they have a little bit of food there. Popcorn, chili dogs (of which Johnny Archer and Mark Cantrill: "bfdlad" here on AZ) will verify are so horrific that they're actually good), chili frito pies, candy bars, etc.
ANOTHER however..............the head houseman is Jeff. Cool guy. Tell him that you're from AZBilliards on-line and that Justin Wray from the APPA sent you. Then ask him where CJ's is. It's THE best burger you'll ever have. Again, Johnny Archer, Nick Varner and Mark Cantrill will back me up on this.
Hit some balls till your heart's content. Jeff may be able to set you up with some action, but I can't promise that. Usually someone will play some 1-pocket up front on an EXTREMELY old Connolly table that has the smallest pockets I've ever seen. If you don't desire action, no biggie. This is a no-pressure room.
When you're done playing or just want a break.......go 3 exits down the road to Exit 81 and hit CJ's Butcher Boy Burgers.
I'm not steering you wrong in any way and you'll thank me later.
I might be back there this weekend, as the APPA (our state league) holds it's state tournaments there. I played in my B-level one this past weekend and I might play up on the A-level on Saturday.
How long will you be in the area?

Could be a guy named Dillon working the counter, btw. Everyone that works there is alright with me.

Thanks for the reply. I know where Russellville is, my works yard is right there close to where you're talking about. Funny I've never seen the place, but I've never looked either. Do they sell beer there? I know Arkansas has some funny laws from city to city. I've got class in Damascus the next day, I may just stay in russelville for the night. Only gonna be there tomorrow then in back to texas for a couple weeks off.
Conway and Russellville are dry. There might be a private club or something, but the only liquor store I know of is in the middle of the drive from Conway to Russellville. Can't remember the exit, but you'll see signs, and it's just off the interstate. A quick stop in for your spirits and you'd be right back out on the highway.
Seems like there's a couple of truck yards right there around Beezer's. Not sure which one is yours, but yeah, I'm betting you can find the place easily.
Wish you were gonna be there this weekend and I'd make a point to come hit some balls with you. I always like meeting AZ'ers and playing new competition, even tho I'm not a big gambler at all. I guess I'm more of a tournament/playing for pride kinda guy.

Morrilton
I think Morrilton is a "wet" town. That is the only place between Russelville and Conway that I can think of that might be. There are backroads from Morrilton to Damascus that will take you through Center Ridge and I know they have 2 liquor stores. I grew up about 10mi north of Damascus and my dad worked at the nuclear plant in Russelville. I know the area pretty well. I don't know of anywhere to shoot pool in Conway though.
I will recommend, if you find yourself in Damascus on Thurs, Fri, Sat night. Run on up the road to Bee Branch. They have a catfish house that has fantastic food and its buffet!

That little catfish house in bee branch is awesome! I drilled a lot holes around that area, also very familiar with morrilton and the two beer stores in center ridge! Very pretty country up there.
Yeah I've been easing up on it here lately for some reason. Still can't figure it out. Still don't shoot any straighter.
Ease up on it all the way. Its no good for you. Does nothing for you.
Let us know what you find.
If you end up finding a nice spot to play in Conway, let us know. I will be back home for Christmas and wouldn't mind shooting some while I am there.

Beezers in Russelville is a nice place. Worth the drive
Beezers is a nice place. I'm up here right now. Wish I would had known about this place when I was working up here.
