poolrooms
Cue sport venues
Poolrooms are establishments where people play pool—billiards on a table with pockets.
The term carries associations with idle hours, gambling, and rough company, as poolrooms historically attracted hustlers and men avoiding work: He spent his afternoons in smoky poolrooms.
The singular poolroom can also mean a room where betting pools are placed on horse races.
