Coin-op pool in the area?

[cn-i-crash-here.livejournal.com]

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

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?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no.

[cn-i-crash-here.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I wanted to write "billiards", but I've heard that billiards is something distinct from pool.

Diesel charges per hour; although it's not nearly as cramped as The Field, which charges per game.

lbmango: No, I thought the same thing.

No, you are not.

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.

I am looking for cheaper, per-game tables, though.

Machine has some in their bar-room off the dance floor...

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).

and when it's tis the season for dead pool, you can pay the $3 cover and play all night for no more.

you just have to put up with us hungover goffs is all.

NOT WORTH IT.

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

:(

we're pretty nice underneath all the eyeliner.

[cn-i-crash-here.livejournal.com]

Ah, nice. That's at Johnny's? And when does dead pool season fall?

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

it will be back in spring...which seems far away, but the way these years have been going, it really isn't D:

it is always on a sunday, and chris ewen djs.

[gookalockgeek.livejournal.com]

there are 2 coin-op tables in the back room at TT's in Central Square.

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.

[genesayssitdown.livejournal.com]

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.

[whaler.livejournal.com]

Yeah good pizza, but that is way too expensive.

[flicktitious.livejournal.com]

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.

i was going to post this question but two pool questions in a day is too much

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?

Re: i was going to post this question but two pool questions in a day is too much

[genesayssitdown.livejournal.com]

i like flat tops, but on a saturday the wait is too long for a table

On The Hill Tavern

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.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Best edit ever.

[cn-i-crash-here.livejournal.com]

That made me laugh. Thanks.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Heartily agreed!

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

YES. Indeed.

[misterthorn.livejournal.com]

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