Welcome to OldPoolHall.com



I am looking for pictures of old pool halls and the players that frequented them.

It's my tribute to the "real pool halls" that existed before The Color Of Money changed everything... After that, every strip mall around had a billiards fun center in them.

My tribute is to those that had some of these qualities......



old grungy pool halls where there was low lighting, except over the pool tables

they had mostly 9 foot tables... they had several 5 x 10's and some billiard tables and maybe a 6 x 12 snooker table

there was no music, no bullshit, just pool

the houseman knew everyone and played pool too

after hours games were common

it was the place where road players were going to stop on their way thru

you get the idea !!!!



There is lot of pictures here, but most are too small....

please help me with photos of players and photos of old pool halls... Let me help tell your story of your favorite place and the people that were regulars.

If you have pictures that need scanned, I would be more that happy to scan them for you and burn them to CD/DVD so you will always have a copy to pass on to keep your history alive. I have been thru a fire and lost everything, so having them on a CD/DVD, then store one at your place and another somewhere else.

You can send them to me, I'll scan them right away and send them right back.

If you want to email me pictures, please send them in the highest resolution you have... Tiny pictures don't do much to tell a story.

Please send them to photos@oldpoolhall.com

I will give you credit for them so people know who contributed

Thanks much,

Greg aka "CaliRed"
