Where to play pool in Hong Kong
1. Joe’s Billiards & Bar

Wondering where to shoot some billiards in Hong Kong? Joe’s Billiards & Bar has branches in Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, and offers billiards, darts and beer pong. We recommend heading over to their Knutsford Terrace bar as it is spread across two floors, with numerous pool tables located on both floors. There is a large bar on the bottom floor that serves beer, cocktails and a range of snacks including hamburgers, chips, hot snacks and more. Joe’s Billiards & Bar is the perfect place for enthusiasts who prefer an old-fashioned game of billiards, as its interior is reminiscent of a vintage European pool bar.

2. Racks City

Hidden in Central in the Winning Centre on Wyndham Street, Racks City is a small bar that offers beer pong and pool. It is a incredibly dimly lit bar that gives off an impression that is very similar to a dive bar or college bar. The place has three pool tables that are shorter than the standard length and has pool sticks lighter than the usual weight making it a great place for beginners to learn how to play. Racks City tends to draw a younger crowd blasting R&B, hip hop and rock from the 90s and early 2000s, but is also a great place to meet up with friends afterwork to enjoy a few drinks and play some beer pong too.

Located in Wan Chai, Billidart Restaurant & Bar is a large bar that spans across two floors and serves a wide range of delicious dishes including cheesy fries, chicken nuggets, crab roe salad, nachos, pizza, roasted pork knuckles and lots more. Billidart Restaurant & Bar resembles a wholesome American bar and diner, where you can enjoy playing a few rounds of darts, beer pong and billiards with your friends and colleagues after work.
