Pool tables in strip clubs.

Good idea or bad? Do you/would you play pool in a strip club? Are they a hang out for low lifers?
I think it is alright for clubs to have them if they have enough room. Follies had one but had to remove it to make room for more customers. I personally have never played in a club. I used to have one in my home. But it seems to me that there are cheaper places to play pool than a strip club. I have seen customers playing with dancers in slow clubs. Even naked dancers.

I remember the pool table at Follies all too well, which in that small club was a tremendous waste of space, so it was good when they took it out and put in more benches for lap dances. That said, it was not uncommon there to see girls playing pool completely nude. I never played pool at Follies, but one of my fondest memories was watching a tall naked black girl who, as she waited for her turn, was leaning against a post with her pool cue in one hand and with the other was gently rubbing her clit to pass the time. Yes, Follies was certainly one of a kind.
So yeah, if the girls play in some stage of undress, I don't mind pool tables in strip clubs.
a fave of mine i bumped into at beamers in stamford, ct told me she used to hang with a couple of pros from nyc. we played a game and she wasn't lying. she knew how to grip the cue with her bridge hand (too bad she wouldn't grip my cock in the lapper room).
one shot she actually drew back the cue ball 5-6 inches. that's fucking impressive, especially if it's a real good stripper executing that type of shot. the only time you're going to see that happen is most likely at some pool tournament.
Years ago, I used to play pool all the time. My buddy and I wanted to get a beer and shoot some pool... if I have the choice of shooting pool where there's nekkid girls around, and shooting pool with no nekkid girls around (and few girls in general), why wouldn't we pick the "pool and nekkid girls" option???. We'd shoot a couple of games, go tip at the stage, shoot another game, go tip, etc. Somewhere along the line we figured out that we could invite a stripper or two over, and they'd play with us. Back to my previous question: if I could shoot pool with my ugly buddy, or I could shoot pool with my ugly buddy plus two hot chicks in lingerie, why would I ever choose just my ugly buddy? We'd get a girl or two, shoot some pool, tip them for their time, etc. The whole thing was pretty fun. Haven't done this in years as we've shifted over to higher end clubs many years ago.
Last time I seen a pool table in the club it was in a dingy titty bar and not a lot of top tier ladies there. But pool is cheap enough to entertain and long enough to stay without paying for much else. Cheap gazing between ball strikes (that sounds dirty)
Sporty's Bar ( Candid Club ) had one, but that place was too small so I think it was a problem. Too small.
Hip Hugger, so so.
But these are zero mileage places. So it is okay for guys spending very little money.
In a mileage place, serious money flowing, I don't think the pool tables are constructive. Brings in guys who don't spend and the dancers are then just donating their time. And lots of guys try for free groping.

Seattle, also looking pretty good, much better than San Jose. The key is to get them in stripper shoes, strapped on, painted up, and in skirts or dresses. They they are the equal of strip club, Viet Coffee, or AMP girls. The rest of what they wear does not matter is it won't be staying on very long.

Many of our dive bar women got most of their money from OTC.

I think what we're seeing in this thread is imagination on what it might be like (e.g., there will be lots of fights; the pool table guys will take all the girls) versus what it's actually like (no fights, you can invite a girl to play pool with you but most guys don't, etc). Really, as a customer who doesn't play pool, there's nothing about the pool tables that impacts you in any way except maybe positively... except the fact that you're in a dive bar in the first place
I mostly hit dives and mostly black-dives where pool-tables are very-common – these dives also have the issue that most are small to very-small in size yet they insist on putting a pool-table(s) in – so overall it may be more of a negative than a positive since, at least IME, most places w/ pool-tables are dives and most dives tend to be on the small-side.
I’m not a pool-player so for me they are a negative especially given that I mostly hit dives and most of these dives are either small or very-small – additionally; perhaps b/c of their small-size; many of these dives focus mainly on floor-dances; thus a pool-table(s) in the clubs I hit almost-always takes away from the dancing-aspect since good-spots/seats to get dances are already not-many to begin with (translation – less pool-table(s) more spots/seats to get dances or better dances).
w.r.t. guys playing pool being a positive as they pose less competition for the girls per se; I don’t necessarily think that is 100% accurate and IMO is at best somewhat accurate – bottom line is that many of the vets on here know that less custies often means better ROI/dancer-treatment (and why many of us avoid Fr/Sat nights at many SCs) – at the end of the day the pool-players are taking up space and club resources and at times taking dancers out of circulation just to play pool w/ them etc - so at best I see the pool-players as a wash in terms of being in the way; but IMO they take away more than what they add at least w.r.t. my personal clubbing experience.
Given the clubs I hit and for my style of SCing, the pool-tables only take away from the experience and from it being the best *strip club* it can be – in general I’m not a fan of mixing things together – IMO when one mixes things together they are hardly ever as good as if they are kept apart with each thing focusing on what they do – for example the hybrid nightclub/strip-clubs; IME they are hardly ever a good thing; they are neither great nightclubs nor great strip-clubs and I feel the strip-club part of these clubs would be better if they just focused on being a strip-club vs a hybrid – I go to a strip-club to do strip-clubbing stuff; if I wanna hit a nightclub I rather go to a nightclub; if I want to eat good food then I go to a restaurant; etc etc – all-in-all; the more things they try to be the less they are focusing on the strip-club basics and the more their resources (including space; etc) are (IMO) being misused; the ole “jack of all trades master of none”.
In the end pool-tables in the club doesn’t make the club not worth visiting; but IMO/IME it takes away from the club more than it adds to it (again this is mainly b/c I’m not a pool-player and if I go to a strip-club it’s purely to get w/ the girls vs hang-out doing other things) – the only club that I’ve seen pull this off well is Tootsies b/c that club is huge (it was a former BJ's Wholesale club which is the equivalent of a Costco) – so Tootsies not only has a huge footprint but they actually have a separate sports-bar area where the pool-tables are – the Tootsies sportsbar, called Knockers; is out of view of the main-room and it’s a room all of its own all the way on one side of the club which is the side furthest away from the entrance and main-stage – it’s an enclosed room with a sliding glass-door although the sliding-door is usually kept open – it would not be uncommon for most first-time Tootsies custies to not even know about the pool-tables or sportsbar unless they decided to step-away from the main-room action and walk the whole club.

they take up valuable floor space that could be used for more tables, chairs, and possibly stages.
I have experience with only one strip club that had a pool table, and it was a bad idea. The club already attracted guys who were rough. The club was small and the tough guys liked to hang out at the pool table and wait for a guy to pass by and accidentally bump into one of them, and then pick a fight. It seemed like a bad idea. But, that club also had two old video games - like PAC Man and Galaga - still taking up space.
I think clubs should be focused on dancers and selling dances. A guy who is too involved in shooting pool may not even care about the titties on stage. Also, once guys start playing for cash - the losers won’t have as much to spend on dances. Sure the winners will have more - but I don’t know if that translates into more spending on dancers?
I also think it’s a bad look - if a guy brings his own pool stick into a strip club full of women. It’s like he’s there to play pool - and not for dances.

Exactly what makes the pool tables awesome. 100% win for PLs -- you'll stand out immediately as someone spending.
I have to admit I didn't think of the "club is already too small, and now there's a pool table taking up half the room", the dive clubs I"ve been to always had room for the table. I can see how that becomes annoying
