Anyone know a nice quiet pool hall close to downtown?

Submitted by Carole Borges on Sun, 2007/09/30 - 3:37pm.

My brother-in-law and I like to play pool, but so far we haven't had much luck finding a good place to play. Barley's in the Old City has a lot of nice tables, but people are usually lined up waiting to get one. The noise..oh...er..music is also blastingly loud. Any suggestions from you locals? We need something close to downtown or North Knoxville.

McDonald's Billiards on Chapman Highway is usually a pretty quiet place, and their tables are well-maintained.

Bailey's (out West, past Cedar Bluff) has a huge number of tables that are also well-maintained. It's noisy, crowded, and smoke-filled in the evenings, but afternoons tend to be quiet and less smokey.

McDonald's sounds perfect

Thanks. He lives off Chapman, so that sounds like the place.

Suburban Center, Kingston Pike used to have them when they were called Julio's-haven't been there in a while. Julio's also had great burgers.

It's been eons since I've been there, but I'll second McDonald's Billards. (map) Used to be the kind of place you'd expect Paul Newman to walk into with a young Tom Cruise in tow.
