I hate to complain about certain price changes, but I recently played at a pool room here in Florida and the rate for my table was $20 an hour. I could have played at BAYHILL for $110 and it would have took me 4.5 hours to complete it. I am freaked out by the prices now adays. For the record, the table was just a GC III with a leaner to the left.

Time to clear out my back room and level the table house, and just use the poolroom for tourneys and gambling.

Chicago Billiard Cafe: weekday specials, noon to 5, for $5 flat rate; 3 to 8, flat rate of $7; after that $5.50 per hour, or close to it.

Chris's Billiards- Chicago: 2.75 an hour til 6, then .50 per hour more, per person. Slightly more on weekends.

cheaper in Connecticut?

Wow! $20/hour. Nothing is much of a bargain here in the Connecticut panhandle, but even we pay $10/hour, with various happy hour deals, and practice rates on Sundays. Let us all know where that was...so we can avoid it! :mad:
 
Where I mostly play is in our Community Room with 29 Tables, all 4.5 x 9, or 5 x 10 Brunswick Gold Crowns. Annual Dues is part of my Community Association Dues of $225.00/Family Member that Covers Gyms, Walking Tracks, Pool, Hot Tubs, and the remainder of the 60 Million in Faculties.

I can bring a GUEST in for $2.00/Day but for that they can also use the other Facilities Daily for the $2.00 FEE.

Our Facility is PRIVATE and OPEN ONLY to HomeOwners, and their GUESTS ONLY.

Our Tables & The Pool Room for the most part are maintained well, with NEW Cloth put on All Tables as Necessary, but that could be from 4-6 months, to a Max of 18 depending upon Cloth Condition.

House Cues get abused real bad, and replaced when they develop Peyronies Disease Type Symptoms............................:D :D :D :D :D

P.S. Forgot to say I live in an OLD FARTS Community where one in the house must be 55 & Over, Housing Price are Low 100's to over 3/4th of a MIL.

I've played in a few places in Fla. and none were as expensive as NY. Day rate where I play (in NY) is $7.00 until 5 pm. Evening rates $7 per hour for one player, $10 for 2, $12 for 3 and $16 for 4. Billiards is $2.00 per hour per player.
 
WOW! And I complained how the rates went from $3 to $4 in the past 6 months. Guess we're well off compared to others.
 
I only pay 40/month to play from 11 to 7 every day but the tables are kind of crappy. They usually charge 5/hr for 1, 10/hr for 2 people, and 12/hr for three or more.

Not one good table in the place, though. Balls fall out of the pockets, tables roll off, dead rails,etc...We're hoping to whine, bribe, or threaten our way into getting a decent condition 9' diamond with tight pockets put in.

20/hr is a joke unless its for yuppies with lots of $$$. A pool hall in Napa, CA charges everyone 5/hr even if there are 4 players. I saw two 13 year old kids playing eight ball, with two of their friends watching, and had to explain to them (since the owner didn't want to, apparently) that the two kids watching and waiting to play were still being charged 5/hr. I told them they should get another table, but damn, 20/hr for kids to play on tables the owner is too cheap to put real cloth on is pretty lame. They played about two or three games in an hour, they could play 20 games on a bar table for the same amount of dough.
 
lol ! It's so expensive down in the State ..

Here at my local pool hall wich consist of 13 4'1/2 x 9 , and 1 12' Snooker table ..
It only cost 2$ to play that's it ! but once your a regular like me , you just come in , grab your regular table and wait to have your drink serve without asking anything :P
 
I can practice before 6 PM on a daily basis for $3 per hour. For two players its between $6- $6.50 per hour depending on the pool hall.

$20 per hour is just insane!!!
 
Wow

Wow, that's crazy. To be honest, I'm not sure how much my new one charges (just moves to Charlotte County, FL), but Veteran's Billiards is somehwere around 2.50, maybe 3.50. Decent tables, nine footers. Not GC or Diamond, but they play just fine for the price and location (and my skill). Sports City was pretty reasonable too. Again, I don't have an exact number, but my bill was like six bucks after shooting for more than an hour and less than three.
 
Around $4 to $4.50 an hour at Gallery in OCNY,on some days like monday and thursdays its $6-$7 to shoot from open to close,nice place,GC3s and a tight pocket diamond is the house table,also a heated billiards table.
 
:D You guy's pay for pool? Wow! The pool hall I frequent charges $3 flate rate from 11am till 7pm. After that I think its $10.00an hr per table regardless of the number of players. But I've never had to pay for table I just drink and leave good tips the rest takes care of it self.
 
TRICK SHOTS in Waterford Lakes Orlando

It was a Friday night and I was in Orlando visiting my Sis. All other tables were full and the goldcrowns were the only open ones (that should have set off a flag right there). The its 8 something for a pitcher of beer and 4 hours of pool and then you're over drawn! Luckily the pool hall in Titusville is still around 4-5$ an hour, and the new one up the street is 8 an hour, and he will charge your significant (boy or girl) other 1$ an hour to watch, if they shoot or not.
