I'm not a huge pool player, but my boyfriend and friends are, so we enjoy the occasional trip to Leather Pocket for an evening of games and good times.
Obviously specializing in pool, this place has so many pool tables to choose from, you won't be waiting long to play. Sometimes it gets kind of full and you do have to occupy your time while waiting to play. This doesn't bother me since I just enjoy watching the games... and secretly cheering for one person.
It's fully licensed so you can enjoy some brews while playing a couple of games. And it's open 365 days a year so if you feel the need to play a game on Boxing Day or New Years, you can!
This place caters to the pool lovers of the city, having a pool lover own the place. I went in there with a girlfriend one afternoon (both of us weren't very good) but one of the workers wasn't shy about offering tips and even playing a game with us. It was kind of cool and very different from other bars or pubs where the staff don't even notice you're playing.
I enjoy an evening at Leather Pocket. Whether you're a player or just in the cheering section, it's sure to be a good time!
