Had a free Saturday night so my son & I went to go check out Skyline Billiards in Brooklyn (NY). I only recently learned that Skyline is owned by none other than Jennifer Barretta and her husband Gregg McAndrews of Tru TV's "The Hustlers". My son and I have watched The Hustlers over & over again (like the Sopranos). My son wanted to meet the Power couple of Pool and truth be told, so did I.
The Pool room is located in a nice area of Brooklyn, 2515 McDonald Ave, on the 2nd Floor. 718.627.3407. It's easy on, easy off the highway & there was plenty of public transportation around. I felt completely safe in the neighborhood. There was plenty of safe, street parking. The room itself is modern, nicely appointed & very clean. They have a bar & a kitchen as well. The room features 12, 9' Brunswick GC IIIs (3 of which are tight joints) 2 heated Billiard Tables & 1 Diamond Bar Table. The cloth is Simonis, the tables all had Centennials, but they had a a few sets of Cyclops balls available too. Even the bathrooms were clean.
Jennifer & Gregg were awesome hosts. They were very warm and were happy to answer my stupid fanboy questions about The Hustlers. Jennifer is just as sweet and gracious in person as she was in the TV show. They were only too happy to take a picture with my son. It was a bit of a trip for us from CT, but well worth it. Jennifer said she'll definitely be at SBE, so if you'd like to meet her, that'll be a great opportunity for you.
