First, I don't know if the owner (nick?) owns the pool tables or if an outside source but ether way it shouldn't make a difference. $1 dollar pool tables are absurd. Also, any table that takes bills (especially larger then 1) ends making the table confrontational for customers that want to play next. I put 5 dollars in (mainly because you get one extra game when you pay with a five). But as soon as the first game was coming to an end two people came up and put quarters down to play. I understand "That's how it's supposed to work". If you lose the winner keeps the table and plays the next person with quarters up. In this case I lost to my friend but I still had 5 bucks in and had to explain to the other people that they were going to have to wait 5 more games. They were not happy. It's REALLY a stupid situation. I'm trying to understand if things are really that tight in the bar industry. Does Spurs saloon make it or break it at the end of the month money wise if the tables are 1 dollar vs 50/75 cents?? I drink and I do spend a lot of money at the bars. And paying a dollar for a game shouldn't bother me but I shouldn't have to get confrontational with other customers and thats what these tables do. I'm just going to ban any bar with dollar (bill excepted) pool tables. It's stupid and really unnecessary. Pool tables shouldn't be a source of income but an incentive to keep customers around longer and spending money on alcohol and not games. I did like the atmosphere but unfortunately my friend and I will not be back. Between the both of us that's about 240 dollars a month (an easy 30 a week from each of us) lost. Thats 240 games in the next 30 days those tables have to make up.
