Philadelphia Area

Philly is and has traditionally been one of the strongest cities in the country for One Pocket Action. There are four rooms in the area that are great for finding a game (high or low stakes):

Tacony-Palmyra Billiards --> The room is managed by Jim Hill, and the room is one of the biggest action rooms in the country. Most of the action is gone by 6pm, however.

Drexeline Billiards --> Owned and run by Bob Maidhoff, a top regional straight pool player. The action isn't nearly as high as it is at Tacony, but there are a handful of players who can be called if you want to match up.

Fusco's --> Owned by Pete Fusco. There are more kids at this room than players, but again, if you want to match up, there are players that can be called in.

The Green Room --> This room is actually in neighboring Maple Shade, NJ, about 10 minutes east of Tacony-Palmyra. The action can get high in this room as well, and a number of the top players in the area play here.
