Washington D.C. Billiards Bars

Angles is a Washington, D.C., billiards bar that offers more than just a game of pool. With dozens of imported beers to choose from and a neighborly atmosphere, you might want to hang up the pool cue and swap stories with other bar-goers. Owned by freelance war photographer Pat O'Donnell, Angles is clean and well lit, with images of past insurrections adorning the walls. Dartboards and a lively jukebox make this neighborhood bar a sure bet for an entertaining evening with a date or your usual drinking buddies.

A billiards bar without the hubbub of a gigantic pool hall, Bedrock will appease any pool player's competitive hunger. Though it only has seven pool tables, this popular Washington, D.C., bar is an impressive mix of pool hall, lounge and sports bar. Flat-screen TVs, vibrant lighting and two full-length shuffleboard tables provide an eclectic mix of entertainment that matches the wide variety of clientele who frequent Bedrock Billiards. An assorted song list on the jukebox plays everything from The Roots to INXS, and the drink list is equally as diverse. Pool games cost $6 per person and darts cost $1 a game. Not an athlete?
