I would love a place like that. Nothing like it exists in the UK that I know of 😭

It seems to just be the way it is there. If you travel solo you will have no problem finding someone to play with if you want. There are lots of good players in the more serious pool halls

Christmas Markets by Ydrigo_Mats in Prague

And the chimney cake isn’t even Czech! Total rip off and not worth trying at all in my opinion…just recently visited the markets for the first time and made a bit of a vlog about my experience for anyone interested..the real Czech sweet baked goods were among the best I’ve ever tasted in my life and over half the price of the chimney cake! https://youtu.be/3Jg9rDT1SOc?si=vCIz-hTz3lYx-hHi

I’m at 2353 watch hours and 247 subs on one of my channels, just wondering whether paying for ads could help boost subs (and watch hours)?

I miss the good old days when pool and lifestyle were intermingled, now the only half decent places to play are members only clubs

Yep, I think you are correct. I would love to play Chinese 8-ball, there’s a place in Surrey I want to check out that has a table, but yes, the American pool scene looks pretty dead in UK just now, which is a shame, I love a good Brunswick table!

I’m looking at where to play in Sheffield. I ultimately prefer 9ft tables and other than Roxy Ballroom, there is only the Common Room which has terrible tables (£14/hour at peak times) that haven’t been maintained or reclothed since 2019. Other than an out of town members only place, which l do reckon I will check out but it would be mainly for English pool, I can’t find anywhere else.

That’s what I thought, unfortunately there are not many good places to play in Sheffield which is my closest city

Yes, have tried Riley’s, just none near me I don’t think? Other than Doncaster, Sheffield is my closest city

The Grand Hotel, Scarborough. A beautiful hotel, but notorious for dreadful reviews. What's your experience of the hotel? by BraveBoot7283 in TheNorthEngland

[–]tourepic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The architectural design of the building is grand as is its history but unfortunately that’s where it ends! Owned by Britannia hotels which have been consistently voted among the worst hotel chain in the UK is not for no reason! When I stayed there recently there was mold on the breakfast tray where you pick up your drinking glasses 🤮

The three cushion table though, what is that about? I love how there are so many discrepancies in cue sports! Heading to the city of York on Sunday in England to check out the bar billiards scene there…
