The Mr. Cue Billiards is the closest decent place in Lindenhurst. The best place, IMO, is Raxx in Franklyn Square, but those are all about 20-30min drive from Melville. House of Lords was your best bet, but they closed. They had a good core group with action everyday, but I think the landlord screwed them, and they turned it into a dollar store! :-(

Listed below are the pool rooms with well kept tables and competitive players near Melville. There is a local tournament at Bay Shore on Thursdays and one in VIP Billiards on Wednesdays. There is also a Saturday tournament at Mr Cues, but I'm not sure if it is currently being ran. I'm sure there are other pool rooms around, but I'd reckon the ones below.

Is the pool hall on route 109 still open that was attached to a strip club?

You will be on the border of Nassua and Suffolk counties both east of NYC
If you want to venture into Queens you have some options, but depends on you and your allotted time. Go see Earl and friends at Steinway Billiards.
In Melville your driving to get to a 9' unless it is a homeroom.
best bet is Commack at a place called Felt. If your not a snob to barbox the Big Kahuna is setup with diamonds which will be a little closer.

LOL, I believe that place is closed too. I haven't been to that one since my college days, but I'm pretty sure its no longer there.
I second this also. Carom Cafe always has good action and if you want they got some awesome 3C tables too.
If its action you want and you're looking to do some cheap hustling, go to the bars instead. You'll have to deal with crappy equipment, but you'll probably still be able to out shoot any SOB in the bar. Easy enough to find someone with just a bit too much ego, and beer in those places. LOL. Again, CHEAP, but play your cards right and you can go to that well several times.
I gave up bar action and bar leagues a long time ago. Got tired of C and D players who have been playing for 30 years arguing about fouls and BS when they have know idea what their doing. I'd rather lose to a good player and learn something than beat some chump or drunk.
Carom Cafe, now that's a great idea. Next trip to the city I plan on going there
Where are you located? I might be able to come by tomorrow
Came by around 3:30, no one around. Just called, no answer
If you're playing in the daytime Bay Shore is one of the only rooms with 9 footers open in the daytime. Guys and Dolls in Valley Stream is probably the only other in Nassau that's open in the daytime but you have to feed the meter every half hour. At night you have Raxx in West Hempstead, Baldwin Billiards in Baldwin, and The Hub in Island Park If you can go to Queens the closest is Cue Bar on Bell Blvd, and a number of others I love Steinway and Carom. I usually take the LIRR to Jamaica and then the subway to Steinway to avoid traffic. By the way, besides Carom, Bay Shore also has 4 three Cushion billiard tables which they got from House of Lords when they closed.
