Napa Billiards

Being on the corner of Lincoln and Main Street Napa it would seem that this place would be more crowded, yet all four times I have been there it has not been the case. They have at least 10 nice 9 and ½ foot pool tables a few foosball tables and a jukebox. I can’t be sure but I also think they have a couple snooker tables as well. The last time I was there was when they were doing their «free pooling» special which was exactly that, and I was still the only person there most of the day. This place is definitely in stark contrast to the other one of two pool halls in the fairyland hamlet of Napa, BIllcos. Unfortunately any honest review of this place is hard because it drags into account the ugly fact of Napa’s desire to segregate itself. Something new and irksome to me being from DC and Baltimore where the bars are mostly divided along lines of dirty, dirtier, dangerous. Being that I play pool a good deal I actually tried in other bars to get some of the locals to take advantage of FREE POOL the few weeks the special was going on, to no avail. Where I am from FREE trumps sideways looks any day, yet playing and drinking by myself got old, haven’t been back since.
