About TCB Pool Hall

Somebody owns this room. No source names them, and the bar is the only place to ask. No opening announcement, no story in any local paper, no website, and no entry on the Downtown District's legacy register, whose threshold is twenty continuous years. What the Downtown District listing does establish: ten tables, darts, shuffleboard and ping-pong, a full bar with beer and wine, a lounge, and no food service at all. So this is a room for a group with a couple of hours after dinner rather than instead of it. Its age policy is not published; call ahead before bringing anyone under 21. It is also the one entry in this guide where we could not establish who to ask.
