We are going to Spokane Thursday night until Tuesday morning. Going to watch a tournament in the valley and take a lesson or two from a guy there. Thinking about going to Northern Quest Casino. Are there any good billiards stores or pool halls we should visit? Any snooker tables? Don't see any listed on findsnooker.com. Anything else we should do?

Hit up Scott Gracio and order a cue.

That's about it, honestly...

Spokane just isn't a hot spot for night life, it's true. It's a sleepy littlebig town.

We have one billiards store on Division.....Global Billiards, 2025 N Division St · Spokane · (509) 327-8858 (Sorry, they don't have a website). It's not a big store, though, but they do repairs and table work. They sell books, lights, tables, some cues and cases, stuff like that.

All About Fun on Pines Road has some nice cues........they sell Joss, Lucasi, Balabushka, etc. http://allaboutfunrecreation.com/index6ad2.html?c_ref=28
Interesting little store, too. Check it out.

Want to play some pool? Here's a few spots.

Bluz At The Bend: Favorite haunt of mine. Live music every night with no cover, closed Mon/Tue, (4) 8 foot tables at 50 cents/game, very nice atmosphere, comedy club upstairs. This weekend, Friday's band is Cary Fly (awesome), and Saturday has Big Mumbo (even more awesomer and a Must See).http://www.bluznews.com/

Annie Fannie's: A little hard to find, just off Freya and Trent, but 9 nice barbox tables, sweet proprietor (Eileen), good food and nice atmosphere. Buy lunch and shoot pool free from 2-5pm. I shoot there every Thursday afternoon, and Tuesday nights APA league. Tell her Bonni sent you. ;)
3827 E Boone Ave
(509) 534-1212

Black Diamond Billiards: Probably where you're going to watch a tournament. I shoot there Monday nights in BCA league. Good food, nice wait staff. No website, cmon guys, get with the program!


Far West Billiards: Good food! Spendy on table time, but nice atmosphere. It's downtown, so parking is a pain. Go 3 blocks West of Far West and park on the street. One quarter gives you one hour of parking. (free on Sunday). http://www.farwestbilliards.com/far/index.php?id=4

Snoop's Saloon: 8 barbox tables, kind of a dive, but the day bartender, Tina, is a real sweetie and will shake for the music (play Stray Cat Strut for her if you win and she'll love ya forever). City Cup is played here and they just recovered the tables last summer, but I wish they'd buy a ball cleaner for those nasty balls!
805 E Rosewood Ave
(509) 487-6013

The 7th Rail: Okay, I haven't been there in a long time,:eek: but they have tournaments there every week. You can give me a report! :) 1911 N Maple St 509 325 7751

Hope this helps.

Yer welcome. I'm sure I'm missing some gems around town, but I don't get out that often.;)

If you want cheap 9 footers.....coin op 50 cents a game and AWESOMELY EXCELLENT PLAYING TABLES.....risk it and go to the Bronco Inn on Sprague next to the Deja Vu strip club. 8714 E Sprague Ave (509) 927-0966

It's a dirty little place, but if you're a pool addict you will overlook that part. I'm not sure I'd eat there again, though, unless I hadn't had food in days and was in fear of fainting. Drinks are okay. Our APA team plays there sometimes.
