Gentleman Jim's is gone for about 5 years. If you are looking for action, there might be a little at the Pirate's Den. My friend Ben Green is the bartender there, and promotes the leagues as well as action and such in Ocean City. He usually works nights and the number for the Den is 410.289.5376. He can tell you where to go besides the Pirate's Den. Pool in OC is centered around bar tables since a couple years after I left there. Back when I was managing Gentleman Jim's in the late 80's and early 90's it was big action. We held the Maryland State 9-ball Championships and the Mark Giarratana Memorial every year over Memorial Day & Labor Day. Those days are long gone for OC. If you are looking for an awesome poolroom, check out Great Slates in Cambridge. It is about 55 miles to the west. You can stop on your way in to check it out. IMHO, it is one of the nicest pool rooms in America, and certainly has the best food of any in America. Make sure to try the awesome desserts. The address is 738 Cambridge Plaza, which is right on Route 50 on your way to OC. The phone number is 410.901.2720. Ask for the owner John Moody. Make sure to tell Ben at Pirate's Den and John at Great Slates I sent you.Black-Balled said:

I'll definitely have to check that out. I've decided that I'll be staying in Cambridge. I wasn't aware that it was along the water also... that was my main goal... water & sand! Thanks to Ted, I'll be staying there. I'll give the hotel a call & see what the rate is. Thanks for the heads up! If nothing else maybe I can go check out their bar anyway & see the view.JAM said:

I put a call in to John Moody to find out if he can get you a rate on a room at the Hyatt. If you stay there, you do not even need your car to get to the pool room, as the trolley's first stop is the pool room. You should check this place out on weekend nights...live bands, great food, awesome pool tables, nice people. If you can't stay at the Hyatt, there is a Holiday Inn Express, and some other hotels along the strip there within a mile or so. The Hyatt also has a golf course, FYI if you golf. I will get back to you after he calls me and let you know if you can get a rate at the Hyatt...Timberly said:
The trenchcoat & the hat, the setting, the hustle...it was like straight out of a movie, huh?!!!Jimmy M. said:I have this funny story about Gentleman Jim's ... Oh yeah, Ted was there.
Ted, you're the best! Thank you for doing that for me! LOL, all I have is a 3 wood & a 6 iron and the best I can do is hit everything to the right, I don't think I'll be golfing.Ted Harris said:
The game plan is hit the beach during the day, do a little shopping, go to the pool room, get up, go to the beach again, & drive home Sun afternoon.
This is boat race weekend in Cambridge. Apparently, there are some boat races going on in the Choptank River. That should be cool to check out, but you won't be able to get a deal or a waterfront room at the Hyatt because of it. The waterfront rooms are all sold out,Timberly said:Ted, you're the best!

I'm going to hang out here at the office for awhile & let all the rush hour traffic die down before I start heading that way so I'll be on here for a little while still.
and the other rooms with a veiw of the resort are $289- and it sounds like you need to make reservations pretty quick before they are out of rooms. 
The Hyatt is 410.901.1234. John said the Holiday Inn Express is almost for sure sold out. Their number is 410.221.9900. I jsut spoke to them and they have 5 smoking rooms left for $118- tonight, but none tomorrow night. Whatever you do, you better hurry. Let me know what you do, okay. LMAO, just my luck...not only is it supposed to rain but I pick the boat race wkend...did I mention I hate crowds and the tourist areas???Ted Harris said:This is boat race weekend in Cambridge.

I have directions to the pool room. From there I will head outside of the city and just find a room somewhere away from the hubbub that's going to be happening there. I'm not going to let these things ruin my wkend. I appreciate all your help, it was very kind of you. I'll check out the pool room when I get there tonight (do they have good house cues?) and then head back over there tomorrow night. I don't have a laptop so I won't be able to check msgs or posts until Sun.
I thought I already had that deal?Barbara said:
comes to a hundred I think. The standard rate is about $130-. Will that help?Ted Harris said:I thought I already had that deal?
What are you paying at the Days Inn? I just called John again to see if he could do anything with advanced notice at the Hyatt, and he said no go, as the summer is the busy season for the Hyatt. I can however, get you a room at the Holiday Inn Express for $89- a night plus tax...
