I can tell you one crazy new idea that most pool rooms are NOT trying:
Good, well-maintained equipment.
So many guys are looking to do a poolroom/whatever combo,
that they end up half-assing the poolroom part.
Yeah yeah, I know the theory... only a handful of pool players are serious
enough to care. But I think there's more of us than they realize and we'll shoot
for 6 hours a night if the equipment's right.
I absolutely do not go there for the sandwiches, jukebox, drink specials, cigar bar,
internet darts, or live music. If that was my main thing, I wouldn't go to a pool hall,
I'd go to a bar.
Here's a wild idea First Break in Sterling VA is trying...
Screaming speed metal on Saturday nights.
This is a player's room with freshly-done diamonds with pro-cut pockets.
What the...?!
Ya well they need something to keep those diamonds in there unless they have another fire
