Best Pool Halls
Fritz | Updated 10/27/2008
Whether you're meeting friends for a game of 9-ball or practicing your english, keep this list of billiards bars in your pocket.
Bedrock Billiards
Washington, DC
Although it only has seven tables, Bedrock has one of the most eclectic clientele of any area pool hall, plus darts, shuffleboard and a great beer selection.
Buffalo Billiards
Washington, DC
Thirty pool tables, numerous shuffleboard tables, five dart boards, numerous couches, big-screen TVs and two full bars have made Buffalo one of D.C.'s most popular pool halls.
Carpool
Herndon, VA
Sister to Ballston's bustling Carpool, this billiards hall blends a bright, pool-and-greasemonkey atmosphere with loungey areas.
Orange Ball Billiards and Cafe
Rockville, MD
The Rockville bar's 28 tables are smooth enough to host regional pro-am tournaments, and DJs spin on weekends.
The Bungalow
Sterling, VA
Each of the four branches of Bungalow has a different theme. Sterling, my favorite, transports you to Key West and the Outer Banks.
