Local Pool Rooms

Here are some local pool rooms in WI. They are on the list either because I can get to them with a reasonable driving time, and they have some nice tournaments, or they are stops for WI tournaments, or they are billiards rooms (often bars) I've been told about.

I've split WI N/S between Appleton & Oshkosh. Live with it.

Local -- Madison, WI

Madison, WI was the home of the world reknown Cue-Nique and later The Green Room, billiards halls owned and operated by the world recognized pool player & Instructor Jerry Briesath.

Sadly, Madison no longer has any large scale pool halls, but we have a few places that are known for having a few pool tables!

• The Brass Ring
  The Brass Ring is run by Larry Walsh, a Disciple of Jerry's pool rooms. He has 8 9' Diamond Professional Tables, and also a 7' Diamond Bar box with Simonis on it (fast for a bar table) which is a hoot to play on! Larry's place has fine food and drinks, and a bunch of bartenders who know about Coctails!
• Pitchers Pub
  Pitcher's Pub is owned and operated by a great pair of guys -- Zach & Ben; Make sure to stop by to shoot a few games on their 15 valley 7' tables, or their new Brunswick Gold Crown V! The Thursday night food special is a delicious thin sliced Prime Rib and Au-Jous sauce which is wonderful!
• The Great Dane
  The Great Dane is a local brew pub which has from 2-4 8' Brunswick tables at each of their 4 locations.. The Hilldale mall location even has some kind of outdoor pool table to play on! They brew fine beer, cook great food, and provide plenty of room to shoot pool.

Southern WI

If you visit Oshkosh, don't let the old-downtown location, lack of parking (use the street) or the small street-side appearance of The Varsity Club or Magnet Billiards deter you. They open up quite a bit inside and have many quality 9' tables to play on with plenty of room around them. The staff at both places are friendly and helpful. They are both quality pool rooms ... and just block or two from each other!
