| - Driving down Apache towards Mesa where it turns into Main Street is like driving in some other country. Due to the light rail construction, The streets are uncomfortably narrow, there are confusing signs, people drive in weird and unfathomable ways and you can never be quite sure of how you're going to get to your destination.
However, tucked away on this *ahem* quiet street, between Dobson and Alma School. Is a little pocket of goodness. In the shadow of Filiberto's, lies a vast expanse of dark tinted glass and a sign announcing that you have reached Main Street Billiards. The outside is appropriately dodgy enough to appeal to the seediest of characters (like myself), but the inside is well lit, clean, and of course, smoke free.
It may not be the sort of joint you'd expect to see "Fast Eddie" from The Hustler sharking in. It's not some ritzy genteel Billiards clubhouse either. It's basic, and clean with full size tables by the hour, reasonably straight cues and quality balls. It's the sort of place you wouldn't feel out of place bringing your own cue to, but not the sort of place where you'd feel out of place just showing up to with a couple of friends and making fools of yourselves. Which, is one of my specialties. The place doesn't seem to get too crowded and it looks like a great place to come to alone and spend a few hours doing practice drills.
