New Era Billiard

I like it here. The staff is nice, and there’s never a long wait to get a table. Prices are right too.
This place needs to invest in some repairs soon. That’s the only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars.

Low quality establishment. The staff here is very stubborn when it comes to discussing issues or tending to the needs of the customer. After numerous clashes, I finally reached my breaking point and have vowed to never return again.
Like any billiard hall in this city, there are a few TV’s for watching sports – perhaps a lone redeeming quality. Seating is not really an option – no bar stools, and the narrow booths lining the walls seem to be almost intentionally designed to be uncomfortable.
Nearly every stick is warped and the balls are of subpar quality. I don’t think a single glimmer of light reflects off of any ball. I have seen worse tables: namely, ‘neglected middle child’ non-​full size tables in the back room of dingy bars.
For Brooklyn, the rates are not particularly forgiving – basically in line with those anywhere in greater NYC.
I’d also like to forewarn you that many gang members enjoy playing pool here. Drop in at your own risk.
The bathroom is rather dingy and never seems particularly well tended to – a fitting reflection of management’s attitude towards its patrons.

Well after a nice meal at Ba Xuyen I decided to head over to this pool hall and see whats up.
The place has about 10 tables, two of which are Gold Crown and the others Brunswick. They also have a Snooker table all the way in the rear.
The price point is some what more expensive then Manhattan and that’s a little strange being in Brooklyn. Its approx. $ 10.00 hour per person, I am used to $ 5 to $ 6 dollars per hour.
In Manhattan I pay about $ 8 dollars an hour, so the price can add up if you are going to practice. If not for that I would give it another star. Plus the tables are in decent condition.
They serve alcohol and have Internet service and the lottery to serve your gambling needs.
I really don’t like the lights shutting off after your time is up, this is like well times up you gotta go. I like paying when I am done cause I usually practice for 4 to 6 hours.
Well that’s my shit, but overall not a bad spot after eating the best Banh Mi in Brooklyn.
