Amsterdam Billiards110 E 11th St, New York, NY 10003 View on ChalkySticks | Get DirectionsStep into billiards history at Amsterdam Billiards, NYC’s original upscale pool hall that’s been defining the city’s cue scene since 1989. Founded by comedian David Brenner and rated “Best Billiard Club in America” by Billiards Digest, this Union Square institution offers 25 well-maintained Brunswick tables spread across a spacious venue that manages to balance sophistication with serious pool culture.What sets Amsterdam apart is its dual personality — it’s both a legitimate players’ room and a lively social hub. The venue hosts the country’s most famous team 9-ball league, where pros like Earl Strickland, Tony Robles, and Mika Immonen have competed alongside serious amateurs. House pro Tony Robles, known as “The Silent Assassin,” has called Amsterdam home for over 20 years, lending serious pool credibility to a space that also hosts hundreds of corporate parties annually.Beyond the felt, you’ll find ping pong, darts, foosball, and even beer pong for those looking to mix up their game night. The full bar and kitchen keep energy high during marathon sessions, though be prepared for Manhattan prices — table rates run approximately $15-$17.50 per person per hour depending on when you visit. Many reviewers praise the table quality, noting the felt is in excellent condition without the damage you might find at other venues. Reservations for tables run $110-$130 per table per hour and require 24 hours advance notice.Pro tip: Check for their late-night specials and happy hour deals. The venue stays open until 3am daily, making it perfect for night owls looking to sink the eight ball well past midnight.Hours: Daily 11:00 AM — 3:00 AM Website: amsterdambilliards.com Instagram: @amsterdambilliards Facebook: Amsterdam BilliardsAbout ChalkySticksChalkySticks is your pocket guide to the best pool halls across the world.
