Aha...this place brings back a ton of memories:
Good, Bad, Ugly, Fun, Sad, Hectic, Drunk, Drunker and Tow Up.
As you can probably tell, I spent many a moons here as it was our local hang-out joint. Heck...back then, it was either Westlake Bowl or T&C. It's open 24 hours so we always came in late. As I recall, every Tuesday night was "Ladies Night" in which they get to play for free. Don't know it that's still the case but it might be a good idea to bring it back.
If you remember the Arcade game Mortal Combat, which used to be huge back in the early-mid 90's, they used to have tournaments here too. I took my younger cousin here and he would beat every challenger. Yup...made us proud. Although they weren't official tournaments, it might as well have been since the lines of challengers would stretch outside the door.
Speaking of tournaments, this place did hold tournaments and there were some hustlers playing here. All I can say is don't mess with an old Filipino dude whose got a crooked eye and his own stick. These guys would school you like Efren "Bata" Reyes...AKA: The Magician. (Google him)
Now where was I? I think I was too drunk to remember.
So this place is CHEAP and kinda located in the ghetto-ish area but definately DIRTY... it was only about 5 bucks a person but this place smelled like urine (no joke) and to make matters worst, there was a large WET SPOT on our pool table...yea nuff said...probably NOT coming back
A game a pool last night? Cheap...
This place is like a whole in the wall, dirty pool hall.. It seems like a good place for friends to just hang out and play some cheap pool.. I think it was $3.75 per person for an hour of playing... That's pretty cheap..
BAD thing? The ladies bathroom is DISGUSTING! They need to clean that shit hole AT LEAST every hour! Who the hell leaves their "monthly shit" with "THINGS" on it right on the fucken floor? That is so disgusting....
I prefer FAMILY on Geary in SF instead..
Never thought a pool hall could be haunted. I deem thee Billiards on Haunted Hill. The decor has red velvet right from The Shining. The cues are about as straight as a Pink Poodle in a Castro Street Parade.
The crowd here is the same one who watches movies at Century 20 kicking your chair and loitering in front of Fuddruckers. One day in the future I can foresee myself getting shanked in the back by one of those Jefferson Kids.
I cant say this please looks a little run down, because it is. But im not too picky with my pool place plus i have an old family friend who works there, aside from him the other workers are really cool i see them with a bunch of their old Filipino buddies who seem to go there a lot. I hear some stuff goes down at night but doesn't seem so, maybe they're talking about their poker nights. Well in all its cheap and friendly but not enough going to keep you there to stay.
This is pretty much my alternative when Family Billards onGeary is too damn crowded. Not the best pool hall but it's adequate if you and your friends just want to chill and hang. It's a pretty divey spot, pretty dark and full of either old filipino dudes or semi thuggish youngsters. It's pretty close to the cemeteries down the road so if you get spooked out easier, don't come here. The whole area just seems friggin dark.
As far as the gameplay, the pool tables aren't the hottest ones around. They don't do much maintenance on them here. The prices aren't that bad so I guess I can live with it as my pool game ain't good enough to complain.
Plus is that its open pretty late and I believe its 24 hours during the weekend.
I've been coming to Town and Country since high school days. I've always had a good game of pool here. The jukebox is the internet kind so you can select any type of songs and they also serve beer. The tables and sticks are ok. Not as nice as other pool halls but this place is pretty cheap so thats kind of what you should expect. They have long hours so if you want to shoot pool early or late anytime they are usually open. I've never waited for a table here and there is plenty of parking. If I ever want to shoot pool out of the city, I usually come here because of those two main factors. Overall this place is nice and I've never had a bad experience here.
It looks really old a rustic here. I feel like they should make their pool tables look a little more appealing because it is like "ew, I do not want to touch it". The boss is usually pretty nice, he gives free play time! Well for me, I guess. Whenever I would always pass by this place it would always look like it is closed because it is so dark and damp looking inside. They should have a parking lot!!
A lil rough around the edges. I used to come here regularly a few years back and just recently started coming here again. Apparently, they've done a little remodeling since I was last here, but nothing huge. I think they just re-did the carpeting, added a jukebox, a couple new games, and some old movie posters leaning on the wall by the exit. Bizarre. Cheapest place to play pool I know of and nice staff. They serve piroshkis and corn dogs and other microwavable eatables. Pretty good selection of beer too. Crowd can be a little ghetto sometimes, but everyone minds their own business.
i used to come here high. then again, was i really here? i don't know.
anyway, i don't know whether it's still open 24 hours, but we used to come here at 3am to play a couple of games of 9 ball. it's a shitty hole-in-the-wall billiards hall, definitely not a place to take a date for a friendly game. the sticks & balls & tables are old, and they smoke & hustle in the back.
but...they have one of those old school cigarette vending machines, so they get 3 from me.
It's not a bad place to play at although the table I was on (table #5) had loose table cloth! Whenever I would set myself down for the shot, sometimes the cloth would move. Not a good sign. Definitely not well taken care of, but I figured the guys who were playing at the back with real cue sticks were at the "good tables". Despite the bad condition of the table cloth, I was still able to pull some lucky shots. I bring my own cue sticks so I can't speak on how well those "play", but just by looking at them it doesn't look too good.
Open 24 hrs. and its a cool spot to chill and not b seen if you wanna hang.
Nice place to chill with acouple of friends. Grab a few beers and enjoy a cheap game of pool. Sometimes it can appear dangerous at night, but dont worry everyone here is here for fun and chilling, but of course dont cross anyones path hahaha.
Local kick it spot. Spent lots of my afternoons as a teenager here. It's now under new management and is a little more family firendly. Be nice to the guys who give you the balls and he might knock off a discount on your game. Bring in your own cue if you can cause most house cues are not "true".
Used to come here a lot during the summer . A lot of people come here . Pool rates is pretty cheap here .. I forgot how much it was but it was less than $10/hr . They sell snacks that you can eat while you play pool . They don't have any hot food though . They only sell junk food and beer . The workers there are really friendly . And they have a jukebox where you can pick songs . They have updated songs too ! It's like 1$ for two songs . Pretty worth it . They have a few game machines as well . Their pool tables aren't that nice though sometimes because obviously a lot of people play on it and mess it up . To be fair , we can't really put all the blame on T&C , it's everyone's fault . Another good thing about this place is that it's open very late !! It's open until like 2 or 3 . And you know what's cool ? They have a condom machine in the ladies room !! Comes in handy if you know what I mean ;) Haha , but they only have 50 cent lifestyle condoms that come in little boxes . I love this place . It's very lively at night . Perfect spot to play some pool , drink some beer , and play some cards . And Tuesday is Ladies' Night !! Which means ladies get to play for free if there is empty tables that is . I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a cool place to chill at night because I always end up having a fun time here . I always pick T&C over family .
i come here with my guy friends... i don't play pOol.. I learned slowly.. Man... can't get a ball into that damn hole.!!. Frustrated me!!! this kills time!! One of my guy friend has his own stick!! do I? nope.. i don't need one!! you see more OLd men than hot guys!! they sell snacks though... if u a Pool guy come here!!
