Nobody at this Tower Grove South bar is too serious or too good at pool, so don’t be intimidated. With one table that sits front and center, the low-key bar offers a good time for everyone, even if you’re an absolute beginner. It’s free to play on Wednesdays.

With seven tables – three for league games and four for open play – there’s ample space at The Cue for multiple games to take place simultaneously. The tournament trophies on display suggest pool is a serious matter here, but this Maplewood bar is a good time no matter your skill level.

This cash-only Tower Grove South bar (not to be confused with the South County tavern of the same name) pulls in locals who are looking for a place to relax after work or a casual night out. There’s plenty of space between the two tables in the back room and ample seating for big groups. Friendly’s also offers a surprisingly wide-ranging food menu.
