We were visiting Halifax for a few days and this seemed like a cool place to chill. We paid $7 for…read moreunlimited pool. The tables were full size and nicely lit. Pitchers were cheap. The bartender was really friendly and described the area for the rest of our trip. Overall we had a great time. (Additional, the ceiling really adds to the vibe, a patchwork of gilded squares---just a cool side note.)

The best pool hall in Halifax. it's a membership club but ring the bell and they'll welcome you in…read moreto try it out as a guest. Memberships are so cheap you won't have to think twice, the felts are high quality, they usually have a table open, and deals most nights of the week. even without a deal the prices are affordable for pool, food, and drinks. But why you should really come to Locas is the staff. The ladies that run Locas are the friendliest people I've met in Halifax, the service is great and fast, if you have a minute they'll get to know you, come in there once and they'll remember your face for years. come once for pool, Nachos or beer, but you'll come back again and again for service from a friendly face.

Charlie's is a pretty chill place to go hang out and have a few beers…read more The crowd can be a little rough around the edges but I guess the university throngs have pretty much pushed the average drinking man out of every other bar in Halifax. Pool tables are a nice addition... I wasn't really sure what the $2 cover was going towards besides upkeep? A grungy/funky spot in the North End that's for sure!

This is not a tourist bar, unless you are a linoleum architecture tourist, or a $2.75 tequila shot…read moretourist, or a tourist of watching tight knit groups of locals sit around in circular formation. Charlie's is where you go when you want to go to Cheers. (Not the Cheers on Grafton St., the Cheers on TV according to your 6 y/o mind, which is really just the the theme song, fuzzy visuals, and conflating real life people with Cliff and/or Rhea Pearlman.) In short, it's where you go when you come home nostalgic and want to see all your old friends, enthusiastically buy each other drinks like it's a genuine gift, dance to one of those weird new electric blue jukeboxes, shout and pontificate around a pool table, and generally have a back slappin, squeezey hugging, chortling little time. The decor is like any affordable house, only the door has a key code and a woman sits at a table with a guest book when you come in. This does not make you feel cool, but it does make you feel like life is funny. The bartender is so used to over-friendly drunk patrons that nothing can melt him. I imagine that deep in his core is something more kind than anything I have ever known, but it is too precious to be shared. The last time I came here, someone apologized for asking me to dance when I turned him down. Apologized. For my rejecting him. A dark little mineshaft to the salt of the earth this place is, lemme tell ya.

Great place to go if you want to have a game of pool or grab a bite to eat. I love the atmosphere,…read moreit's calming and modern. The staff is very friendly, the food is great (just finger food) and the pool isn't overly expensive. They also have a virtual golf course where you can bring your own clubs and shoot balls as if you were on a real golf course. It is quite expensive, but it's a great alternative when it's raining outside or during the winter and you having a craving for golf! We played pool for 2 hours and had 2 beer and it was less than $60.00.

Looking for a way to fight the winter blah, we decided to check out Eastside Billiards for their…read moreindoor golf simulators. We booked 2 hours from 8-10pm. The price was very reasonable for the 2 hours and in retrospect, I should have tipped much better than I had. When we arrived 15 minutes early and the previous patrons were still in their game, the bartender was very friendly, clearly wanted to be helpful and ensure we had a positive experience. It was nice to have plenty of room and a couch/sitting area behind the 3 game simulators, while we waited, stretched and warmed up. Once we were ready to begin, being a bit rusty on how to set our game settings, the bartender was helpful, gave explanations with out being too much or assumptive. Seeing that he might have been the only staff on hand for the entire facility, I was impressed with how well he took care of everyone and seemed very positive. Many people must be regulars as they knew him by name and made sure to acknowledge him before leaving. We had a few drinks. The bottled Coors Light was satisfactory . The Chocolate Monkey and Grasshopper I ordered were mixed well and enjoyed. They disappeared quickly... I did find that the furniture was mostly dated - typical of most billiard rooms. The course selection was pretty good. We played Banff Springs Overall, we had a good time and would go back again - maybe with a couple of friends for a round at a warm southern golf course.

And the iced coffee is the cheapest in the city and probably one of the best tasting I don't know where I would be with out this doolys location.. everyone that works there are so accepting and not judgy if there was a billiard bar TV show this should be the place I give this a 4 star only because they have machines would be a 5 star if it was just pool tables

Great pool tables from what they tell me as I am really not a professional pool table. Well that depends on how many tops I have as I do feel I get better. This is really a good location some that I have travelled over time I really do not feel comfortable in. Dooly's has a full bar that offer beer, wines and some of the good stuff. Kitchen is available for some typical snack items but mostly we go to play pool. TV line the walls for those sports fans that seem to line the walls on whatever play off that seem to be happening. As well there are private room available to a more reserved party.
