billiard hall
A billiard/billiards, pool or snooker hall (or parlour/parlor, room or club; sometimes compounded as poolhall, poolroom, etc.) is a place where people get together for playing cue sports such as pool, snooker or carom billiards. Such establishments often serve alcohol and may have gaming machines, darts, foosball and other games on the side. The largest pool hall in the United States of America is Q-Master Billiards〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.q-masters.com/ )〕 located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. One of the largest dedicated snooker clubs in the UK is Hazel Grove Snooker Club with 33 tables.〔()〕
== Public perception ==
In North America in the 1950s and 1960s especially, ''pool'' halls in particular were perceived as a social ill by many, and laws were passed in many jurisdictions to set age limits at pool halls and restrict gambling and the sale of alcohol.〔〕 The song "Trouble" in the 1957 hit musical ''The Music Man'' lampooned this prejudice (even contrasting carom billiards, requiring "judgement, brains, and maturity", versus pool, said to be a gateway to laziness, gambling, smoking and philandering). Public perception had changed considerably by the 1990s.〔
