The 14 best spots to play pool in NJ

Playing pool is a lot more popular in New Jersey than we thought. We took a call the other day on a completely separate topic and the caller mentioned that she was in a pool league.

Within a few minutes, the lines were jammed with people talking about their billiards team or where the best places to play pool in New Jersey are.

Sure, you can find a bar near you that has a pool table, but not everybody is comfortable going into a bar to play pool, especially if you have kids.

Not to worry, there are still plenty of "pool halls" or billiard places around the state. We have a list of some of the more popular places according to our listeners.

Jr's Qball Billiards - Toms River

Sportsmen's Pub - Trenton

Some of New Jersey's favorite bars

In Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolf has announced easing restrictions on April 4 with 75% capacity and drinking at the bar. Maybe that will happen soon in New Jersey too. But while we're not allowed to sit at the bar still here, Trev wanted to know your favorite bar that you miss sitting at right now. He asked that to his Facebook following, here's some of what they came up with.
