Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Hi, does anyone know of a decent place to play pool in Amsterdam, preferably a proper pool hall or a place with a good table ?

Being able to smoke would be a bonus but not essential as we'll just take some cakes and muffins


cheers for any info

A few of us from ACD met tonight at the Nes Cafe which has 1 pool table: http://www.nes-cafe.nl/home.shtml

Right around the corner from the Nes is Susie"s Saloon, a smoker friendly bar with pool: http://www.susiessaloon.com/

Another smoker friendly bar with pool tables is Cafe Soundgarden: http://home.planet.nl/~nijbo143/soundgarden/english.htm

Serious players should check out the Bavaria Pool-Snookercentrum, Van Ostadestraat 97 (tel. 020/676-7903; tram: 3, 12, 16, 24, or 25), at Ferdinand Bolstraat not far from the old Heineken Brewery. This is the city's hottest spot to chalk a cue, with four floors of tables, including billiards, carambole, snooker, and pool. Sharps bring their own cues and call ahead to reserve a table. For pick-up games, you'd better be good. It's open daily from 11am to 1am (Fri and Sat until 2am).

The rival Snooker Club de Keizer, Keizersgracht 256 (tel. 020/623-1586; tram: 13, 14, or 17), near Westerkerk, is a classy pool hall for serious players not interested in socializing. In individual rooms, titans battle it out on the felt. It's open daily 1pm to 1am (Fri to Sat until 2am).

thanks for the info, will check them out.
