Anyone here know of venues with pay-per-game pool? I am only aware of The Field in Cambridge and White Horse in Allston.

Edit:

Well, Diesel has pool tables, but I'm always afraid of hitting people there...

More importantly, am I the only one who spent vital seconds trying to figure out how a coin-op swimming pool would work?

Locally, Sacco's Bowl-Haven and Diesel Cafe have pool tables. Sacco's web site says $7.50/hour. I don't know what Diesel charges.

Sacco's is probably best, if you're restricting the search to Davis. Outside that, other than what's already been mentioned, Flattop Johnny's in Kendall has many tables (not coin-op, but pay by the hour).

If you're going to go all the way to allston for white horse, go to big city instead. It's on the same block.

i gotta stop going to big city. while i enjoy the quality mixture of drunk and pool, $14 an hour is waaayyy too expensive, especially when i want to play pool for four hours straight.

Yeah good pizza, but that is way too expensive.

On the Hill Tavern at the corner of Broadway and Medford has them, although they occasionally disappear on the weekends. $1/game last time I played there.

ANOTHER POOL QUESTION:



can someone recommend me a good, per hour place to play pool that is not big city or jillians, but serves plenty of beer and has enough tables that i won't have to wait an hour or two on a saturday night?
From: [identity profile] genesayssitdown.livejournal.com
i like flat tops, but on a saturday the wait is too long for a table

In Magoun Square. Seriously people, don't you be sending this guy somewhere to flat top johny's or some other shenenigans. there is a perfectly good coin-op pool hole less than a mile from d.square.

Cornwall's at Kenmore has 3 coin ops in a spacious game room, and I've had some good games against people there.
