I use to come here for pool....they have a couple of tables in there...and with one pingpong table....there are also arcade machines which can be noisy if your table is near it..
There are music playing in the background as well and the place is not as big as you may think...it can get crowded at time..but the price is super cheap....its about $10/hr??...and you get every third hour for free....=) -

I'm guessing this is the Billiard Hall that used to be on 60th st and Fort Hamilton. Now that they've moved to this new location, the place seems more spacey when in reality it isn't. When you're playing you're bound to have to wait for someone else from the other table to finish before you can position yourself to poke the ball.
In the back they have the arcade machines and they seemed to have added more. I recognized the In The Groove machine there and I like how it's located in the back now. I remember in the Fort Hamilton there are these people who would just suddenly pop up behind you while you are playing and start snickering and making fun of you if you are not at the expert level. Now that it's located in the back, no one really cares about you, or that's the feeling I get. They also have that table hockey thing that I always lose at, but it's fun!
I really like it here cause of the pricing. It's $12 for one hour without any tax or anything, and there is one snooker table! Yes actual BRITISH snooker! I've been wanting to play that and I tried my luck in Manhattan only to be disappointed. They only have one table though, and its $20 for one hour, I'm scared to actually play it until I've honed up on my billiard skills more.
I don't know if its me but I noticed that they have two different types of cues here. One is lighter than the normal ones that billiard halls have which is better for me since it gives me more control.
Saturday probably isn't a good night to come in since it'll be crowded and you'll have to wait for a table to free up. I've came here on a Sunday night and we got a table right away. -

This pool hall is crowded and inadequete. The tables, cues AND balls all feel as if they were crafted from sawdust. The management keeps their stock in the "aisles" and underneath the tables, making it very uncomfortable for players. After playing in other high-end billiard halls, this place just seems very mediocre. Although this place is indeed cheap, you get what you paid for.
