This is something that I have not seen, or experienced in what seems like ages.
It is not something you would see at a pool hall, but it is something you might see at a bar, with maybe only a few Valley coin op bar tables.
Back in the early 2000's, after my home town pool hall ran out of business, I would spend all of my nights going to this bar, that had 3 Valley coin op tables.
It is / was in a college town, and back in the early 2000's, the college kids loved to play pool.
So, on any day of the week, from maybe 9pm, until 2am, you could walk into the bar, and see like 6-10 stacks of quarters on the rail, with people waiting to play the winner of the next game.
I miss those days so much. It was such a good time, even though I was not a drinker. I just loved to play pool.
The players were rarely that good, so I could hold the table for a very long time, once I got my turn. Sometimes, I could hold it until 2am, when the bar closed.
And, the quarters never dried up. They just kept putting their quarters on the rail.
But lol, it would get so packed sometimes, in that bar, that I would constantly have to say "excuse me" to the people just standing around drinking, because there were no seats at the bar.
Anyways, I really miss that.
I imagine that it is just not a thing anymore, because I have never seen it again, ever since back in the early to mid 2000's.
Curious if you see it anywhere in your local town, that might only have a few coin op bar tables, where a lot of people love to shoot pool.
