Drexeline Billiards Club

Grab their Groupon deal if you ever see it. Can get a little pricy when you’re paying full price and playing at night. Lots of tables here, and it’s BYOB. We used to go here every week when we didn’t have work. The sticks are okay, we use them to break then use our own sticks to play.

I’ve been going to pool halls in Delaware County and Philadelphia for a lot more years than I care to think about. Drexeline Billiards caught my interest a long time ago because I saw a tournament on a Tuesday night where anyone could win. You don’t have to be a fabulous player and you can beat much better players because they utilize a fair system of handicapping. This gives everyone a chance to win.
I like the very clean no-​smoking atmosphere, good sandwiches and the friendly repartee. People are willing to share their knowledge and tricks about how you can improve your game.
Bob Maidhof, the owner, runs a tight ship and is one of the best players you will ever see.
You can even relax and play a little chess while enjoying your pizza or hot dog or piled high turkey sandwich.

BYOB had a great time, it was 26 $ for a couple od hrs of pool w my gf.

Wow, I was transported back to the 70’s
Wood paneling and lots of it.
A good friend who is also a pool enthusiast recommended checking this place out. It is located behind a shopping center and it’s very tough to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for. The outside of the place almost makes it look shady.
Once you walk in, you see that it is truly a pool hall. Thank God. 9 foot tables, good felt, and sticks that are actually usable. They have a small kitchenette where they make pizza and hot dogs. We grabbed hoagies from WaWa and brought them with us. The place is definitely frozen in time. They have a crazy old analog machine that keeps track of how much time you’ve spent on the table. It was pretty amazing.
An honest, straightforward pool hall. I loved it.
