You don’t need to be experienced — most people come to meet others, rotate through games, and enjoy the environment.

Women attend free, and no pool experience is required. **What to expect:** * Drop-in friendly pool games (8-ball or other games) * Rotating play so everyone gets involved * A mix of beginners, casual players, and regulars * Music, energy, and a central downtown setting * BCA Rules (no bar rules!)
