Here's one I didn't mention. It's next to Hope's Fish & Chips on Joy Rd. betwn. Middlebelt and Inkster. Some of the tables are a little threadbare but still a good old time pool hall.

Anyone rememer the one on the NW corner of 9 and greenfield? I cant remember the name but it was an old school place with plenty of hustlers
In the 60's and on either Larned or Congress, and just east of Woodward, there was a hall, where on the 2nd floor.
Seem to recall at one time there was also a hall in the old Greyhound Bus Depot.
Harry's in Dearborn Heights [[long gone), VanBorn and Telegraph was good-sized hall.
Thunderbowl in Allen Park, may still have a hall upstairs and on the south-end of the building. The place was quite busy even into the late-70's.
Not many speak of "snooker" any more.
I revisited this place last week. The sign "The Rack" is still on the pole and the building on Joy Rd between Middlebelt & Inkster. But it's changed hands and is now called - get ready - "The Velvet Rail". The place is still the same as far as I could tell in the 30 mins I was there. The better news is that all the tables have been resurfaced and new lighting installed. Before 5pm the rates are $5 hour for 2 players. Will get more info on this when I go on Wed.Here's one I didn't mention. It's next to Hope's Fish & Chips on Joy Rd. betwn. Middlebelt and Inkster.

The web site is terrible http://thevelvetrail.com/ Tries to appeal to "family fun" but I saw the same old - timers shootin' snooker and playing cards.
