Biggest pool hall in Glendale

by 7baller7 at Citysearch

This is my local pool hall. I come here frequently to shoot pool with my circle of friends. The crowd consists mostly of Glendale locals, which is an even mix of Asians, Armenians and Hispanics. It's probably not the best pick-up joint in town, but the singles that DO show up are unpretentious. The waitresses are attentive and pleasant, and you won't find yourself with stuck with an empty glass while shooting pool. Likes: you have more than 20 tables, all spaced apart so that people don?t poke each other with cue sticks; a bar and lounge area separate from the pool hall; a huge big screen broadcasting sports events, visible from virtually any pool table; all the popular beers, typical diner-style burgers, sandwiches and appetizers; lots of parking available behind the building; and reasonable rates. Dislikes: some tables have worn out surfaces; music can be unnecessarily loud; the owner refuses to show pay-per-view fights.

• Pros: Big and spacy pool hall with lots of tables.
• Cons: Some tables are worn out - pick carefully!
