either way, i enjoy pool, and will most certainly make an appearance at some point

nice. are you allowed to bring beers? its an odd question but I’ve been to pool halls that don’t have liquor licenses that let you bring beer long as you’re cool about it

I play there with a friend about once a week. I suck…who want’s to give me lessons so I can then hustle the said friend out of some $? LOL
Nice tables and a nice quiet atmosphere. Hopefully It don’t turn into a classic cue type of joint. That place has been so mobbed it’s hard to concentrate. I like the smaller hall. 🙂

Sweet, that place was a shit hole. I work 2 doors down at Benjamin Moore. So if you need paint stop in, I do 10% off for NYSpeed doods.

i did a pool league once in the village (nyc).
No idea how far Clarence is from where I live now, but I’m definitely interested and would do some sort of NYSpeed tournament even though I suck

Its doable. We used to at my parents bar in Rochester a few years ago.
The bar can not be open or accept any business so no buying drinks or food or anything. Also, the bar can not take a cut or ante from any buyin or prize. Its just big in the NY State eyes that the poker can not be a reason for the business to make money. If they shut it down and let us play off hours, no one will get in trouble. If they offer to sell beer or food during the poker game or take $5 from every buyin, Bad news.

I really don’t remember their being any “poker tables” in that place. Maybe an investment can be made?
