Bar Billiards Table in Centre of Oxford

[gizmo666]

Has anyone recently played on the table in the Royal Oak opposite the old John Radcliffe in the centre of Oxford?? Went there last night quite a nice table with mushroom pegs! but has a horrendous slope needs sorting out really. Not much room to play it either its squashed right up against a wall!

I guess its more of a gimmick for all the american students that come by!

If your in Oxford City go check it out only 5mins walk from the shops!

I have played on it a long time ago but they removed it sounds like it has come back and yes the pegs are quite a site at first. americans can't play any game unless it has simple rules, big pockets and you can win the game in one shot. For those who don't know much about Pool the game I am refering to is 9 BALL although traditional 8 ball is starting to get more exposure over there now. I would love to be there and watch towo americans try and play the game I think it would be very entertianing.

The thing with 9 ball is a ball can bounce on and off a cushion running towards a pocket and still go in :-/
