My Pool Hall "Wish-List" - So, what defines a good pool hall for me?
-Full size billiard tables, not the bar type ones
-Clean and fast felt. I grew up playing on Simoniz felt, but anything where you can put action on the cue ball works just as good.
-Plenty of tables
-No sharks trying to hustle me. Ha!
-Straight cues ranging from 18oz to 21oz. I prefer a 19 oz for playing and a 21 oz for breaks.
-A good juke box playing good music.
-Cheap, none of this $20 an hour stuff
-Plenty of room
-A pool hall that isn't intimidating
-Smoke free (yeah right, especially in Las Vegas)
A group of us entered Cue-D's for a friendly game of pool and since there was an odd amount of us, we ended up playing a game of Cut Throat. Cue-D's is chill and it doesn't matter if you're an A or even a D player, everyone is welcome. Cue-D's hit most of my "Wish-List", but most importantly I had a great time with fine people.
My only issue is the stench of smoke in the air. I know, I know, this is something that they can't control since smoking is legal inside pool halls in the valley. I use to smoke and I get it. Now that I don't, I see the difference. The smoke didn't bother me so much while I was playing, but the smell sure followed me home. Cue-D's is welcoming from the staff to the patrons. I'm a fan of the pool hall, just not a fan of the smoke.
PS. The rest rooms can use a little Mr. Clean or AJAX.
