Welcome to Charlotte- PRESS BOX- Best Pool Hall

All you have to do is look around any league night and see how many folks you think are in their 20's. If pool has a future it will be that age group that carries the game into the future.
 
Thats interesting... today the 19th, the tables were all still relatively new again at the Press Box and the Fish Tacos were awesome during full menu hours ie before 11pm ..I understand they have a short menu with finger food as well later in the evening... someone must be switching things around for you... or... maybe its "Sarcasm while you wait" or something. There's no better Diamond Equipment in the Country... imo. Not sure you were in the right place. After 20 WEEKs or so in business there are maybe 4 tables that are 'broken in' but still miles above what offered elsewhere in the area.

The Press box hasn't even started offering a weekly open tournament yet and they just started APA 1 night a week 3 weeks ago (Thursdays- it slammed, so don't even try to get a table from 6pm to 11pm... 10-12 teams). They have been working on getting their full restaurant side and full bar (and staffing) worked out.

Maybe after 20 years (not 20 weeks) of business (kinda like Smoking Cue) the tournament events will be as popular at The Press Box as you mentioned.... Prolly even without two weekly 10K BREAK AND RUN gaft game on played a gaaaaft table. Btw the 'House Bank' on that gaft gimmick btw is a joke...mainly on the pool players!!.... its historically > than 200% or more most of the time... so much so they have to try to 'give it' back every quarter or so to keep the complaining down from all of the 'contributors', all at the time racking in beer, food and table time to put on the monkey 'show'... but hey, pool players also like to dream about winning the lotto as well. Remember payday is just around the corner again right???...

I say ...Play on play on and to each his on.... but play more pool whenever and wherever you can best afford.

Just my impression, the cloth wasn't shot but it was clearly to the point that if it was my home table id be recovering. It is a nice place, just paled in comparison to the other place. Both were better than anything back home in my part of Michigan.
