Big beer selection, but they don't have a full liquor license - cordials only - so if you like cocktails or shots, you might be disappointed. Tons of pool tables, a couple of foosball tables, some...

This is a great pool hall. They have plenty of tables and you can almost always get one. It's also attached to Sunset Bar and Grill so they have the same amazing beer selection. They have their own...

Good pool and good food (since it came from the Sunset) in a neighbourhood filled with college types. I didn't find it too offensive or meat-market-ish despite some of the other places in the square.

A few visits to Big City on my behalf, however I always knew people going there to play pool. Honestly, that place is just a hazy blur to me.

Connected to Sunset Grill, this is a major hot spot in the Allston bar scene. By far the most entertainment in any of the area bars with dozens of nice pool tables. The beer selection isn't quite as...

I had a greek event here once, and it was a good time. Just a normal bar, but there's a room that you can close off and have separate for private events. Easy to get to as well.

This is a great place to play pool and sample some of the 100 beers they have on tap. If you go to play pool, it's another story. When my friend and I went to pay for our pool time, our bill came to 11.87, but...

Slurp suds and chomp nachos or pizzas made with beer dough while shooting stick in this poolroom. Try the inexpensive sandwiches -- chicken parm is a standout.
