Where to play Pool in Calgary?

[Shunsui]

I'm looking somewhere to play some pool, where they have a good amount of good quality tables, like more than just 2 tables.
Preferably close to downtown and SW, but I'll drive to the NE if I have to.

Thanks:thumbsup:

There's one on McKnight, Mike's I believe it's called.

+1 for sticks.. great food.. nice tables.. good deals... only thing is if you go around sunset some tables get really bad shadows

[Kardon]

Chalks in midnapore is alright

Stix is decent and so is Garage in eau claire.

I have fond memories of playing at Mikes. They used to make really good sandwiches, but the bartender hated making them, so you pretty much had to beg her.

+5 for stix. $12 an hour, but there are a ton of tables, great staff and the food is pretty good as well.

Ever since I was a wee Nammer, I would always either frequent Sunset Billiards downtown, or Mikes. Use to go to Tigers at Marlborough but they closed

i work in the industry and have assembled, upkeep and serviced most of the tables mentioned through this thread in different establishments.

my personal fav place to play pool would be Al's hall down behind the totem in the SE... off mcleod

If you got your own cues, the speak easy by chinook has a pool hall called the hideout. Buy a drink and its free for the whole night. The tables are bar boxes.

[Cozmanator]

There's also OC's by Canyon Meadows theatre and Classic Q attached to Colt on Southland and MacLeod.

I still go to Chalks though ;)

Its not free for the whole night, I remember it being minimum 1 drink per 1 hour of pool time.
