Locals crowd this trendy pool hall in Grand Cayman to drink, flirt, gossip, and, in many cases, actually play some intense games of pool. It lies on the second floor of an industrial-looking, all-concrete building in a commercial zone about 2.4km (1 1/2 miles) north of the center of George Town. If you can handle the transition from the glittery tourist-oriented world of West Bay Road to the dark, permissive, and distinctly insider atmosphere here, this venue can be a whole lot of fun -- we prefer it over The Attic Billiard Lounge. There is a very real possibility that you'll be invited to join some off-the-record wagers (we don't advise this unless you really know what you're doing). You pay CI$6 (US$7.50/£3.60) per half-hour for a pool table, regardless of how many people are playing. With only six pool tables, you will most likely put your name on the waiting list. Have a drink and relax in the meantime. Besides pool, you'll also find a steady diet of country-western or rap music, friendly dart competitions, and welcoming patrons and staff. Open Monday to Thursday 4pm to 1am, Friday 3pm to 1am, and Saturday and Sunday 3pm to midnight.
