Pool Night
There is great comradery amongst all players—women and men and we are starting to see younger people come to learn the skills of playing pool from older players. Pool starts at 6pm and ends when the last players are ready to leave, usually around 8:30pm. There are three tables and plenty of cues available if you do not have your own and the bar is open for patrons over 18 years of age.
