playing pool - anyone tried Racks yet?

Have really missed the pool tables that are abundant in most other countries. Is this the sort of place a Western girl can rock up to by herself?

I agree, which is why I wondered what this new place is like - pool tables are highlighted in this week's HK Mag. It's on Wellington Street.

you can try "joe's billards" in the kongs hotel, jaffee road... they have about 9 tables .. all well looked after... one of them is a free table ... (winner stays on) others are about 70HKD per hour...


lots of girls go there as it's a girl friendly hangout..


Other tables are the canny man... but a bit small, and the Kangaroo in wanchai... but a bit of a younger crowd hangout there...


drop me a mail if you want me to intro my female friends to you... they love to hang out at joes.

ooo, you're right, that is a bit steep - and a bit cr*p if you're half way through a game when your hour is up - takes the fun out of it a bit. I guess it's hard to have the right policy though - if the tables were free people would just go there and play and not necessarily spend much on drinks.

Go to Kangaroo LKF, it has a pool table and its free!!!! Also the staff are really friendly there. Good drink prices not too crazy. I played in a pool comp, think they are every Monday, free entry too and prizes!

Does it have a higher average age than the Kangaroo bar in Wan Chai? I'm a bit past the teen stage!

isn't joe's billiards owned by that celebrity (joe ngai) and thus is a place for him and his g/f (vivian chow) to hang out? they are both in their late 30s/ early 40s. or are you not quite that age either?
