Hard Times Billiards has been voted the best Pool Room in Sacramento by a number of surveys.  This is not a bar with a few pool tables, it is a pool hall for serious billiard players that also serves drinks.  They have 31 tables in 12,000 square feet.  They also have spectator seating in their 8 table tournament room so you can watch and learn from the pros.  You can rent tables by the hour and they also serve beer and food.
