what kind of specials does your local pool hall have?

south hills golden cue: $10 11am-7pm, 7 days a week.

steel city billiards: $5 2pm-6pm and $10 6pm-2am

both are great deals.
 
"Hanks" in Wheat Ridge Colorado has $6.00 10 AM TO 4PM everyday.
But a bottle of water is still $1.00 :(
And the food is very good.
 
Special= Not so much...

The specials at the place I have to play in are. The tables all suck, the cloth is awful, a Corona is $4.75 each, the owners are unfriendly and could care less about the customers. I'm currently considering the 1 hour drive to another place to play LOL....

Free BOTTLED water? Wow, Measureman's not going to be happy about that. In our place, 7.95 gets you lunch and free pool from 11:00 am to 2:00pm. For $75/mo you can play up to 4 hours a day anytime day or night. For $125/mo you can play unlimited pool anytime.
 
@ Red Shoes Billiards in Illinois....$10 Daily Special (11AM til 6PM) per player (pre-pay) used mostly by retired guys looking for something to do. At 6PM "Specials" are over, normal rates apply ($9 hr for 2 players). I know "Specials" are great deals for customers but....90% of the rooms that essentially "GIVE" pool time away (i.e. Open to close $5...buy 2 beers & play for free...Tuesday's FREE POOL etc..etc..) are probably on their "knees" and will not be around for long. The exception is the "Yuppie" rooms that generate their income from "booze and food". They are not really "pool rooms"...they are "Theme bars with pool tables". Most true "rooms" can not pay the bills that way. So enjoy it while it lasts (you will probably be looking for another place soon).
 
Fast Eddies, I-45 south, Houston, TX

Does the 11am - 6pm special run 7 days a week?? Ie, query from a retired guy.. LOL I just might have to head to Alsip...
 
Yep the "special" is 7 days a week (365 days a year...and we are open ALL of the 365...ain't no holidays in the pool room)
 
Sundays: $10 flat rate, open-close, + Caesar drink specials
Thursdays: Facebook Challenge; a random challenge is placed on the FB page which you have to beat for different rates.

Every other day is a drink/food special.
 
free icewater from the tap, a free spit cup, weds and sunday free pool from 11;30 am to 6pm if you purchase lunch........great food too!
 
So far i've only found one good place to play here in austin...

The grand, $2 an hour/per person (all the time I think). Free pool mondays. Cheap beers/drinks till 7pm every day. Nice tables, tight pockets, good staff.
 
I own a place in Port Huron MI called The Billiard Loft. 30 bucks a month gets you unlimited table time, also pop and water is a buck!!!

I was in Metairie, LA on a trip and called around the local pool halls. I was amazed that Bison Billiards (I think) was charging $10/hour. I ended up going to a crappy place called Whitey's.

Edit: It is actually Buffalo Billiards.

10.00 an hour would never happen in Columbus and it's a capital city.
I'm curious why the people there pay that much?
I base the 10 an hour never happening here, on all the wailing and gnashing of teeth that happened when they went from 3.00 to 3.50 an hour.
 
tues $3.00 an hour. after 8pm half off large pizza.

lunch time is free pool with purchase of food.
