mrireland Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) I read some of the other threads about places with decent pool tables, the latest one seemed to recommend sidespin at the back of Central Plaza but looked locked up and closed when i went by yesterday. Im basically looking for somewhere with a decent pool table, with no obvious rolls or holes in the cloth, doesn't have to be championship or full size, just somewhere for a few drinks, nice atmosphere and a few cold drinks. Location im open to, prefer somewhere around nimmanhaemin, thae pae gate or night bizarre so please suggest away. If they have a couple of pool tables or show the footie then that's a bonus Edited April 1, 2012 by mrireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Number 1 bar? http://www.number1barthailand.com/ But most bars in the tourist area have a pool table somewhere. Pick one where you like both the table and the ambiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymarx Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 night bizarre Every night's bizarre inThailand! The tables at Number One are OK (in a side-street off Loi Kroa), certainly not pro level but playable, and they have good beer (Belgian) and atmosphere. OTOH, the cues leave something to be desired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieH Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 place called schwein on canal road not far from nimman has an excellent quality pool table. bit away from the main drags but it's a proper good table if you really want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod711 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 the Half Moon behind Mad Dog used to be good, not sure now, I haven't been in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrireland Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks, keep the suggestions coming, its not as if i havent tried a bunch of places, i know there is a row of them as you turn off at Tha Pae Gate heading towards night bizarre and ive tried a few but i wanted to narrow it down, theres a place of nimmanhaemin if you drive up the soi beside tesco lotus and there there is a couple of isolated looking buildings across from infinity that seems to have a few snooker tables, looks ok but a bit isolated and probably not much atmosphere and there doesnt seem to be any decent pool venues out nimmanhaemin direction from what ive seen and im sick of playing on tables with huge rolls, crap pool cues (if they have 2 good cues thats fine, my experience is hard to find 1 ok cue) and cramped spacing around the pool table. So while not looking for something amazing just wanted somewhere with something half decent and dont want to be the only 2 in the place at the same time. The wall off Tha Pae Gate is alright, nice table, bit worn but good cues, might go back or try Number 1 as suggested but was hoping for some other suggestions.

mrireland Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Cant find that place: schwein on canal road if youve got more directions would be great, since half moon and blue sky bar are close to eachother i might try those tonight, thanks for the suggestions guys, does the red lion or olde bell have a pool table, whats that like for a few drinks, its a bit out of my way since im out on nimmahaemin and i cant believe i havent been to either being here a few months but been trying out all the locations out my directions and really only hit town on weekends.

sticklee Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Down Under Bar near the end of Loi Khroh before the iron bridge. Stewart has just had the table recovered, leveled and has new cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolgeoff Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 stewart has done the whole place up tables included.but if you find mandalay on moon muang you will find blue sky and half moon behind it in soi 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Down Under Bar near the end of Loi Khroh before the iron bridge. Stewart has just had the table recovered, leveled and has new cues. I agree with sticklee. The table is quite good and you can actually finesse a ball instead of just blasting it. The music isn't too loud and there are a variety of televisions for sports enthusiasts. It's located at the foot of Loi Kroh road near the bridge over the river, and it's out of the main traffic area. It's open in the afternoon for various sporting matches. Also mentioned being the Number 1 bar that has reasonable tables and the Blue Sky bar that often has pool tournements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Give Sidespin another try, it's the only real pool table in CM. Failing that, Warm Up has a decent 8ft table up the back near the toilets. 20B/game. Cues aren't brilliant though.

DowntownAl Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Wild Boar on Loi Kroh has a brand new table. The bar is owned by a Canadian (if that makes a difference), it is not a girl bar, good food, good waitstaff, not overpriced etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not often go out with the sole intention of playing pool, but if the mood so takes me, I would prefer to do it with a decent cue; especially if the place is charging you for the privilege of using their table!
