Whether you're a skilled pro looking for others to play with or a pool newbie out with a few friends, there's a bar with a pool table waiting for you. See below for some of the best.

Buffalo Billiards
118 Chestnut St.
Philadelphia, PA 19106

This Old City pool hall has eight billiards tables spread out over two floors. With plenty of room to roam around and relax, the tables at Buffalo Billiards are available by the hour and are pro-rated to the minute. Don't come here just to play pool, however. There are also dartboards, skeeball, foosball, shuffleboard tables and 17 HDTVs to watch the game on. Two bars, great drink specials and a menu full of American pub food are also part of this fun spot. Oh, and there's free pool for those in the service industry every Sunday and Monday night.

Garage
1231 E. Passyunk Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19147
(215) 278-2429

The Garage is located on Passyunk Avenue, across from Pat's and Geno's, and even though you can bring in your own cheesesteak, chefs and food truck owners rotate in to cook and grill for the bar. This place used to be a Satellite Auto Body, but does not operate as a garage, as its name might have you believe. Inside, you'll find food trucks, pinball, skeeball and a pool table. For drinks, the bar focuses on cans and cans of craft beer, with over 200 types available.
