Thers is a free pool room in charleston sc... Its called tuckers..7 9' tables and a bar box....Free pool, Free Drinks and free snacks..no charge what so ever.. this is no joke...
 
I played there many times back when I was in the service, and for a few years afterwards. Elldridge Tucker was a great player in his day. Glad to hear it is still open. Do his sons still own it?? And, what's the strategy behind giving everything away??



His son still owns it. He was just doing sales and service. About a year ago
he set up the tables. Only open during hours of sales and service side. (maybe a little later if alot of people are playing). I thinks most of the drinks and snacks are just left there. When I go I take a 12 pack of drinks most of the time. He plans on charging one day.

Eldridge passed a few years ago, his son Ridgie runs it now. As for the free thing, I dunno, Its just the way Ridgie is..

Vintage Cue

I believe Ridgie has one of those same cues also..His dad gave me my first cue when i was 13 years old(42yrs ago), It was an original Palmer,1st Catalogue, as Eldridge was a Palmer dealer.

I really like the website you have started. Not a bunch of BS and flashing stuff. You tell us who you are take us on a tour, have nice pictures. Very simple. I bookmarked it and will be curious to see what you add.

Haha, that's true about Ridgie, isn't it? And thank you...I can never hear enough good things about my boy. :)

You'll have to look pretty hard to find a room to beat this. Ridgie isn't trying to get rich off of the tables he's set up and he enjoys people coming in and playing some pool. Obviously it's not his main source of income. He also has Sunday tournaments for 9 ball and one pocket.
