If they keep the place clean, in which I'm pretty sure they will, they'll fit right into the night life which frequent those places in Seattle. Most live nearby and walk.
New room, Ox Billiards in Seattle
- Thread starter gerryf
- Start date
Not in Tacoma, but Fife just opened a room with 17 Diamonds, behind the Poodle Dog Restaurant
What are you looking for?
I agree.
I love the way the place looks inside. Taking a cool old spot like that and reusing it mostly "as is" is great. There is years of patina and character in that place.
OX BILLIARDS
OX BILLIARDS is setting a new standard for Seattle cue sports. OX is an all-ages establishment that is locally owned by die-hard pool and snooker enthusiasts wanting a great place to learn, practice, play, and compete. All skill levels welcome.

Reminds me of a line from a Marx brothers movie Coconuts.

Nothing in particular I quit playing many years ago just a place to check out near where I live now.
I am headed there tonight to check it out for the first time. Yes, prices seem a bit steep, but I've been spoiled in this regard for many years. Yes, I wish a 3 cushion table was there, as I love it and miss it, but I would probably do the same if it was my place given the Seattle market. Bottom line, great to see a new hall opening, and it looks like phenomenal tables will be enjoyed. I'll not be there often due to proximity, but excited to support it.
Why should any pool room cater to pool players, what's the benefit to the room owner?
So they have no business then?
Agreed. In my experience, "pool players" don't spend much when playing.
No clue but 12bux/hr during the day is insane.
That's because it's not a place for you to go, it's a place for real customers that just happen to have fun playing pool with their friends
Any pool room waiting on customers like you to show up would be broke and closed down faster than it took to remodel and open, FACT!!!
