Skyline Billard

The dirtiest pool hall I have ever been to. The bathrooms are especially filthy. Dirty unattended tables. The place is just for kids. The night my husband and I had the displeasure of coming here to play there were two large groups of jewish teenagers. They were roudy, throwing balls and cues around at each other, pushing one another into people. There was only one person os the staff on the floor and he could not handle the situation at all. It took me barking at the kids once to stop them, but our night was of course ruined after that. Will never ever return here!

In my opinion, this is probably the best place you can shoot pool in Brooklyn if you’re really into the game. Other pool halls overcharge or the pool hall might not be that great. If you go during the day time (they open at 12PM mostly), there are hardly any people there and it’s real quiet. You can put on your earphones and just practice or bang balls around on the table. The regulars keep to themselves mostly. It’s almost therapeutic in a sense playing here in the day.
Their house cues are decent but I haven’t really looked the whole room’s because I prefer to bring my own. When I say that the pool hall is the best, I mean their equipment is well looked after. The cloth on their tables are well maintained and the balls are cleaned daily so you won’t find a cue ball riddled in blue chalk. Aside from regular 9 foot Brunswick Gold Crowns, they have a 7 foot Diamond bar box, and two heated 10 foot Chevillotte billiard tables. If they had a snooker table, this would be a complete billiards establishment.

right next to the F train on ave X, but they have a small parking lot for customers, but parking from what I remember isn’t too bad there.
They have beer, they have pool. It’s not too rowdy, or fancy. Just a cool inexpensive place to pass the time with friends

Stopped by the other night to drop off a cue stick to be altered. So my friend and I played a hour or so of straight pool. The tables are in decent condition. But I didn’t like the height of the tables. They seemed kind of low, I really don’t know if there is a regulation height. They have a league that plays there, and they also serve food and beer. So overall not bad, but I have experienced better.

I haven’t been the skyline in over a year but I’ll write a review based on how I remember it.
This was my pool hall back in the day when my friend didn’t have a pool table. I would be here almost every week. I would usually hang out here on Sundays when Frankie still worked behind the counter. I forgot the owners name (Eddie?) but he knew who I was, he just never remembered my name.
The tables are clean and the felt is good. They clean the balls after each use and they come out shiny and new looking. The only lighting is the counter and a huge fixture above each table. That set-​up is really good for concentration and keeps the game in focus. I have come across the occasional pool cues that are missing a tip, but they replace it once you bring it to their attention.
I passed by recently and saw that they put up a neon sign by the entrance. Back then, if you didn’t know Skyline existed, chances are you would’ve thought it was a warehouse. The entrance is a bit creepy, it’s just a plain door with a camera to your face. You walk up some stairs and on your immediate right is the true entrance.
To summarize it all, Skyline Billiards is a very good pool hall. They try to get the «scum» that usually hang out in pool halls out. They don’t like troublemakers and try to keep the place peaceful.
