Take a slightly sketchy elevator to the 12th floor of an unassuming Koreatown office building and you’ll discover Space Billiards, NYC’s most unexpected pool paradise that’s been keeping night owls entertained since 2008. This hidden gem features 11 pristine tournament-size tables illuminated by red paper lanterns, neon lights, and laser effects that give the windowless space a cosmic club atmosphere perfect for its K-town location.What makes Space Billiards special is its commitment to late-night entertainment — staying open until 3 AM or later seven days a week. The venue strikes a perfect balance between serious pool hall and vibrant social scene, attracting everyone from dedicated players to birthday parties and date-night couples. The tables are well-maintained, the cues are quality, and there’s enough space between tables that you won’t feel cramped even on packed Saturday nights.The full bar showcases an enormous cocktail menu that looks as good as it tastes, featuring creative concoctions like the Penicillin №2 and Instagram-famous rainbow shots. Food goes well beyond typical bar fare — the dumplings are legitimately excellent, the buffalo chicken dip is a crowd favorite, and the smash burger delivers. Happy Hour runs Sunday through Thursday from 5–7 PM with $5 beers.Bonus: The two claw machines up front actually let you win prizes, a rarity anywhere on planet Earth.Tables run $30/hour for up to 2 guests Sunday-Thursday, $40/hour for up to 4 guests on weekends (additional players +$5/hour each). The venue also offers event packages for larger groups that include complimentary table time and drink deals. Pro tip: Reserve ahead for weekends — this place fills up fast once word gets out about the vibe.Recent reviews consistently praise the “amazing vibes” and friendly staff, with server Sue earning particular shouts for exceptional hospitality. The music pumps without overwhelming conversation, multiple TVs keep sports fans happy, and the overall energy stays high whether you’re crushing 9-ball or just crushing cocktails.Hours: Monday-Wednesday 5PM-3AM, Thursday 5PM-4AM, Friday 5PM-4:30AM, Saturday 2:30PM-4:30AM, Sunday 5PM-3AMWebsite: spacebilliard.comInstagram: @spacebilliardPhone: (212) 239–4166Space Billiards34 W 32nd St, Floor 12, New York, NY 10001View on ChalkySticks | Get Directions
