They have different size billiards tables available, but no snooker table. Some of the players here are really good at 8 & 9 ball.

This place is obviously all about pool. Unlike your typical bar that may have a couple of tables,…read morethey've got a solid amount of tables and even a few dart boards. Beyond the games, it's pretty no frills when it comes to beverages. It appears they just have a few canned drinks in a small refrigerator, but you're really coming here for the game and not food/drink. Parking can be tricky when it's busy. When I came we got lucky with someone leaving. Pricing is very competitive and fair, ambience is bare bones and what you'd expect from pool tables in a Richmond warehouse setup.

Great blend of a serious player yet music, ambience, and a real Player owner at the establishment.read more

Old school Portuguese pool hall. It's not just a cafe. Don't let the dumpy exterior scare you off…read more Parking is available on Kingsway, as well as the side streets. Inside is very dated. The place is actually 2/3 pool hall and 1/3 cafe. Several big screen TVs, and a surprisingly number (6 total) of pool tables. Tables are of the 8 ball variety. In other words, no snooker here. The coffee bar also serves alcoholic beverages and sandwiches. No hot food. One thing worth mentioning is that they don't have decaf for some reason. With that said, my coffee tasted fine.

Woohoo, another 1st review~…read more So I was introduced to this place by a buddy who's an avid snooker (not "boring" 8-ball, as he says) fan/player. How avid? He owns a $1000 custom-made pool cue, and competes in the local tournaments. So if he says this place has the best tables out of all the local halls, I'll take his word for it. The place is a converted warehouse (like most other Richmond pool halls), with some posters to break (no pun intended) the emptiness of the walls. So, what's great about this place? 1) Not too many people know about it. Getting a table is never a problem. Fridays + Saturdays can get busy though. 2) Free parking around the building. 3) The rates actually depend on the QUALITY of the felt. What that means, for example, is that a table with known "bad" felt costs less to rent than one with "newer" felt. So if you're a crappy player like myself, you can save a few bucks. With that said, they recently redid the felt on all of their tables (Nov 2010), so I'm not sure if this scheme is still in place. This isn't BS either. One time my friend had me try 2 tables (one "cheap", one "expensive") to see for myself. He wasn't lying. When playing on the expensive table, the balls behave more "ideally" (ie closer to what you'd expect if you've taken a Math 12 Provincial Exam). 4) There's a lounge area next to the counter. Not sure if they serve food or drinks there (I'd imagine they do), but one of your friends wants to sit out, they can in comfort. There are TVs in this area too, usually showing.. footage from snooker tournaments. Hardcore. 5) They offer additional services, such as retipping your cue. My friend uses other services for his cues as well, but I have no idea what he asks for. You'd have to be a pool shark to ask for these specialized services. 6) Each table (for the snooker ones at least) have an electronic scoreboard, so you're not stuck dealing with those lame sliders like every other place I've been to around Richmond. Makes it WAY easier to keep track of points. You're not coming in here for the decor, but if you want an excellent pool / snooker venue, this is it.

It has been a while since I checked out Commodore Lanes and I recently had the chance to stop by…read more Bowling is always a fun chill event in my eyes. The look is a bit older/dated looking. There are plenty of lanes for bowling along with pool tables and some arcade games. The name of the game here is 5 pin bowling. It's a fun and relaxing experience. Pricing is fairly decent and won't break the bank. I had a great time bowling here. I can't wait to come back with friends and play more games.

It was a rainy weekend so me and my friends decided to do an indoor activity. Commodore Lanes were…read morethe only ones open so we went there. Since they only have 5 pin bowling and they didn't allow us to drink by the bowling area, we decided to play billiards instead. It was around $22/hr for each table. They had multiple tables that were really close to each other which made it tough to play. I would recommend them to space their tables out more so that players are not bumping into each other and have enough room to play. They also did not have a water fountain at the venue so I asked their bar if I could get a glass of water. They said that we have to pay for it and they would only take cash. I wasn't looking to buy a bottle of water, just wanted a glass with tap water. But they said that we would have to pay for the cups, luckily my friend had some change so I was able to get water. I feel like for such a big venue space that serves alcohol, serving a glass of tap water shouldn't be such a big ask. The service was ok!

Old school pool hall on Hastings, just W of Nanaimo. This place has been around for decades…read more Parking is quite limited in the surrounding area. Best to look NE of the intersection of Hastings and Nanaimo. The venue is on the 2nd floor, with no elevator. Something to keep in mind in terms of accessibility. The inside is dingy and dated. Looks like something out of the 1970s. They have both (3) snooker and (4) 8 ball tables. Tables are a bit packed, but there's enough room for shots. Table quality is pretty decent I must say. The bar also serves coffee, but I didn't try.
