The Rialto it ain't! (529 SW 4th...between Alder & Washington) Very nice Brunswick Gold crowns. Not enough cue backstroke room on the far back table...so take a middle table. Nice bar, good food, good looking waitresses. Yuppie downtown clientele...kinda wannabes in the real pool playing action.
For the real action, check out "classics east"...122nd & Powell. On the East side of the river. Kind of shady, no food other than snacks, bottled beer or cheap wine only. But it is the hangout for the money players of the area, including Glenn Atwell, who many would say is the best player in the Northwest.
Yeah John, I've played pool in Portland.
The place down here in Lebanon? Definitely no green tea! Bar box tables, 50 cents per game. Clientele here definitely NOT PDX downtown yuppie office workers. But...it has an ambiance of it's own, and we've never been hassled there...well, not much.
