Best Place to Play Pool

Just ignore this place on Friday and Saturday nights. Not only does the price per hour for playing pool double, but the yuppie and annoying frat-boy quotient quadruples. On the off days, however, you can play for five bucks an hour and have the place nearly to yourself till closing time at 2:00 a.m. Watching the work of quiet pros who bring their own cue covers can provide a welcome diversion to waiting during the lull until your partner decides to flail his cue. And Thalassa doesn’t water down the drinks (but still you gotta watch them pour).
