I register only to find out the thread is dead. Anyway, I just scored a table in San Antonio. The guy said he had it in storage for the past 25 years. Been working on the timer but the table is in great shape.

That's awesome. Bar billiards in America is pretty slim. I've just been working on my personal table. Wish there was something like that here.

Alas, the eBay Bar Billiards sale Chris forwarded me was a hoax. The seller didn't seem to exist, let alone the table! If anyone else has any info about playing Bar Billiards, or buying tables in the US, please do post them here. Thanks! George I have been looking extensively for bar billiards tables here. I just got an email from Master Games Ltd. who said that Hubble Sports restores and exports tables to the US. Unfortunately, I haven't found any tables for sale in the US yet. All searches for "Bar Billiards" table come up with "Billiards" tables. Very frustrating. www.hubblesports.com/bar-billiard-table.html Unfortunately, they dont list prices on their website but I am looking out for an email from them...

I was recently in Dallas, and can confirm that the pub the table was in is now closed and that it wasn't moved to the other bars owned by the same person who owned that bar. I talked to a waitress who worked at that bar and she told me that there was no table there for the last few years before it closed (in 2017). So, unfortunately, that's off the list.
I live in Brooklyn and have been poking around NYC for a table and have come up empty handed so far. If I find something I'll update it here.

I'm sure there was someone who posted on the British Bar Billiards Facebook page from America who had recently purchased a table. Might be worth checking up on there?

A little update to this thread, in case anyone comes across it for reference:
The Lion and Rose is still open in San Antonio -- sadly the table "fell apart" many years ago, according to the manager, and was removed. Whereabouts unknown.
The Idle Rich Pub in Dallas closed in January 2018 to make room for a condo development. Table whereabouts unknown.
The Ice House Pub in Punta Gorda, Florida was destroyed by Hurricane Charley in 2004. It was rebuilt, but the table apparently did not survive.
The post referencing a table for sale in Texas in February, 2007 was -- interestingly enough -- MY table. I did indeed sell it in February of 2007. I successfully tracked down the buyer, and bought it back last week. It is now set up, and sitting in our dining room!

Hello from Oregon - I know this particular forum doesn't get a lot of traffic, but I wanted to post for any ex-pats in the area that we have a Sam's bar billiards table at Santiam Brewing in Salem. Coin-op has been removed, and we don't have any schillings anyway, so it's free to play.
I'm also aware of a table in Eugene at Falling Sky Pour House Delicatessen. I haven't been down to play it in a few years, but it was free last time I was there.
