I know some bars like Fiddlers Green have tables. But wondering if there’s any dedicated pool halls where you can pay by hour rather than game. Did some googling and saw references to Nine Ball Cafe and Rack and Roll but can’t tell if they still exist or what the deal is, pretty limited internet presence.

Nine Ball Cafe and Rack N Roll were the same place, just under different ownership. Unfortunately it's been closed for years. Your best bet is the place the other commenter mentioned in White Plains.

If you really want Stamford, the only place I'm aware of that has more than 2 tables and isn't a private club is El Rocoto. It's a restaurant attached to the motel off exit 9. 3 tables, cheaper than some other bars, and pretty good food. Down the street from them is La Vista Bistro. They only have 2 tables, but they're also a little cheaper than some other bars. My last suggestion would be Twin Rinks. There's a bar upstairs with 2 tables that they keep in really good condition and there's not usually people playing on them.

If you have any questions you're welcome to DM me. I play in the Stamford 8 ball league so I know the pool options.

Thank you for the detailed response! I will definitely check some of these places out.

I used to play in a league a few years back pre-kids and would love to do it again at some point. Does the Stamford league have a website or anything?

Not specifically for Stamford, but there's a sight for Fairfield County, Stamford being one of the areas: https://fairfield.apaleagues.com/Default.aspx

I’d be …aware … over the past few years that I’ve been paying attention, the motel attached to that place has been in the news multiple times as the local for all sorts of shady stuff

There’s a place in White Plains like that. Just checked it’s now called Hard luck.

It’s not in Stamford but it’s close enough.
