I've always figured that if I owned a poolhall or a bar, that I'd have a
huge,TALL flashing neon sign that could be seen for miles that said
Fre_Drinks.... People would come from miles around for their Free Drinks
(thinking that one of the E's had burned out) . Suckers !

Uhhhh, no. I'm not playing in any place called Chokers. For the
same reason
I won't go into a local establishment called The Jockey Strap (I'm not
kidding, they
actually called a pool hall The Jockey Strap.).

Doug,
Once upon a time in Hot Springs, Arkansas there was a bar with a neon sign
saying "Free Beer Tomorrow." You can guess the rest. Probably not unique.

I've already sent my two names to mark "Gold Valley Billiards" and
"Valley Crown Billiards". Just thought of one more "Get Felt"

Go to any city and look in the yellow pages. You'll find lots of restaurants
with catchy names: Nibbles&Brewski's or whatever. But ask people what are
the BEST restaurants, those time-honored businesses with records of decades
long quality, and I contend you will find a greater portion of simple,
unpretentious names: "TONY'S," "MAQUIRES' RESTAURANT." Names that are too
catchy just seem to go hand in hand with gimicky, flashy businesses that
don't plan at the outset to prosper by offering friendly honest, high quality
services. [I know there are lots of exceptions to this]. So my advice is
don't worry about catchy. Don't worry about those few customers that might
try out your business BECAUSE it has a cool name. Instead, get a simple,
descriptive name: "Springfied Billiards" or "Mark's Billiard Room" and
concentrate your efforts on insuring that everyone who comes into your room
for the first time says to some friend "hey, that's a nice place!"

HOw about RETARDO'S
or RAILTESTER'S?"
John Walkup
Probably the best advice to date. Why not name the pool hall after the street it
is
located on? That way, customers will remember where it is located.
For example, Main Street Billiards.

jute box? Jute is what they make mats out of.
Jukebox - you put quarters in it and it plays something resembling
music :)
Anyone want to buy a couple jukeboxes?

I think This is a good idea but it limits opportunities.
A. Moving - which may also limit expansion
B. Growing/Franchising - May or may not be important to you.
There is a pool hall in Rockford IL, where I work, named
State and Madison Billiards. Great name tell you exactly where
they are and what to expect. But there was a place in Washington
(state) named 211, but they moved, still called 211 but not at
211 whatever St. any more. Confusing. In Dever there is a place
called "Table Steaks" and there was action there, the name fit.
Thats a good name. If you didn't want gambling in your place,
That would be a bad name IMO. All in all, I think that a bad
sounding name will hurt you more than a clever name will help
you. In Other Words KISS.
BTW I like Mike P's suggestion.

I have absolutely no background on this thread, but did anyone suggest
Bar-B-Cue Billiards & Blues
Takes advantage of the Q part of BBQ without losing the idea that the
place offers food, too. It also eliminates the need for the commas. Or
even
Bar-B-Cues's

So that's why nobody can find Madison Square Garden in New York City!
They moved from Madison Square and didn't change the name. Amazing how it
gets filled up all the time. Where is Madison Square anyway?

I'll wade into this to agree with the simple concept. Call the place
"Mark's" and use the words "Billiards, Food, and Spirits" in the ads, on the
flyers, business cards, and marquee to tell people what they are in for.
Make sure that the food is GOOD, that the portions are FAIR in both the food
and drinks, keep the equipment CLEAN and in good working order. Finally,
make sure that you have the best VENTILATION that you can afford to keep the
place from smelling of tobacco.
You provide that and good SERVICE and you will be able to open the next
"Mark's" in the next town down the road and everyone will know what you
stand for and what they get for their $$$.
Good food, good equipment, good atmosphere, fair prices and fair portions
will bring the patrons back for repeat experience. It's what makes them
tell their friends, and causes them to suggest your place as a destination.
Cutesy names like "Cue Crazy" ,"Billy's Bad Boy Billiards", and "bubba's
Pool Hall" might bring in a player or two, but a place that has the above
(basically service) will bring people who aren't necessarily players, but
just folks out for a good time, or maybe just a burger and a beer.
Oh! And always remember, the real money is in the liquor; (sic) card anybody
that even remotely looks too young.
I wanted to ad $.02, but you got $36.50+.....sorry.

I'll second that. Good service (in places where there are
food and drinks to be served) is what brings me back.

LuLu's is your name.
Buy a big white cockatoo. Name it LuLu and teach it to screech out
"RACKEM!" "eight ball in the side pocket", "FREE BEER!" and "ON THE
HOUSE!". When someone is ordering a beer or paying up and LuLu screeches
the right words, you pay.
Keep LuLu on a perch by the cash register so everyone gets to see her up
close.
That will give you a conversational hook for when players are talking about
cool places to play. Of course as several rsbers have pointed out, you
still need good tables, good employees, good conditions and good snacks if
not a larger food service. When figuring in cost of doing business, it
would be a good idea to plan to give freebies occasionally to your good
customers even when LuLu is feeling too funky to speak. Everyone likes to
feel appreciated and even if it's only a buck off someone's $20 tab, it
builds up good vibes for your place.
G.
PS: It might be a good idea to have a second mute LuLu in the office to
bring out when LuLu # 1 is feeling too generous.

away from the felt. I would appreciate that as a player (the idea of
seeing a ketchup smear on a pool table sort of makes me nauseous). Can
you allow "all ages" on the side with pool tables, and serve liquor next
door? I have no idea. Getting the design "right", and being
appropriate for your locale, will be more important to your success than
the name. Somehow I doubt that tournaments will help pay the rent. In
the last 20 years, I have seen more pool rooms close than open..work the
numbers, and good luck! I hope you are some place like Las Vegas!
