A colleague has been wanting to play for some time, so we decided to check out The Corner Pocket. I had been there once before, 5 or 6 years ago, but honestly had not thought much about it since.

Apparently they changed owners because this little place was not bad at all.

They had the bar nicely tucked away in the corner. I counted 12 flat screen televisions, all showing different sporting events. They even had some tables and chairs off to the side...and they had seven 9-footers.

At first glance they looked like Brunswicks but they were actually Hollywood tables, and they played very fast.

Since it's only two miles from my job I may be stopping by at lunch time...:)

Here is the information:

Corner Pocket Bar & Grill
11470 Cherry Hill Road, Beltsville, MD 20705
(301) 931-7766

Only one problem...there was no lock on the Men's Room door. They said it's to discourage illegal activity, which I found a little silly, but, it's their place.

One hour of pool at 4:00 PM on a Friday was $11.00 / hour for both of us.
Coronas were $4.00 each.

Might be a bit steep for some, but there you have it!
 
That's my home room, Thursday Night APA 8 Ball every week. Come through I'll play you a few set's. Send me a PM.

Thanks for the info. I'm only about a 10-minute drive from there. I think that's where my Home Depot is, on Cherry Hill Road.

You know, I never noticed this before until I looked at your avatar. Of course, I've been reading and enjoying your posts for a while.

Is this you in the middle of this group, next to Keith? On second thought, you look much younger, but I thought I'd ask. How's this for a motley crew in a Maryland pool room!

I can't remember. I'm on my laptop now, but I have the names on my desktop computer. The guy in the middle is a stakehorse from Virginia. Really nice man. The other guy on the right end is a player.

Two of them, I believe are stakehorses, but the one in the middle is none other than Leonardo Andam Dodong a/k/a "The Rattlesnake." :D
