Editorial Review for Snookers Cafe and Billiard Club – by Dawn Keable
The Scene
Judging by the banners listing the names and years of tournament winners, it's pretty obvious that billiards is taken seriously here. But little things like retro metal gas station signs, fringe dangling along the edges of the overhead table lights and soulful tunes on the sound system give Snooker's a funky edge. Here, head bobbing to the beat between shots is just another part of the game.
The Draw
With a full bar, the question isn't what to drink, but where to drink it. There aren't many stools at the small bar, and those prime seats go quickly. People make this pilgrimage to play pool. Depending on the day of the week, time of arrival and the number in your party, one hour ranges quite a bit in price.

Insider Tips
Where to SitIf you don't get here early, chances are you'll have to stand with your beverage. To get off your feet, head over to The Green Room, a dimly lit cocktail lounge within the pool hall with another bar and intimate tables.
When to GoCall ahead to make sure that a league or tournament isn't in play. If so, head (once again) to The Green Room, where a variety of live bands perform, usually without a cover.

If only I lived closer to Providence I'd go here more often. This is s good place for any sport fan who likes to hang out and watch some TV. But if you want to dance and meet some new people, then there is a room to do that too. Prices are reasonably priced and the staff and management are all friendly and very social. The only thing that is bad about Snookers is actually getting there. It can be a pain finding it if you've never been before, but once you're there, it's worth it.
Pros: Price, Attitude, Atmosphere
Cons: Just finding the place
