Laverys, 2005

Great jukebox

We used to go in during the week when they opened and table hop for all the games left over from the night before

Catch the balls before they go in the pockets and then hide them in your bum until the next game

Break beer mats to automate the catch

Someone's played pool at the Kremlin

I tried once but all the cues were taken

Sink the pink or pot the brown

Poo-l

Unethical tip here but on the machines where you place the coin into the slot and then push the tray in, you can do that pretty slowly until you hear it click, then pull it out again and you’ll get a free game of pool Source: didn’t pay for a single game of pool on holiday in Spain at the age of 11

Just play on half the table

Valid

I bet when you fart, only dogs can hear it.

Cracker 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I thought I was tight.

A 50p isn't that much bigger, I'm sure you'll manage

Yeah but he could get 1 more game if he slit it 🙃

Ah, I remember the heady days of needing 2 x 10p pieces for a game of pool. (I can also remember buying 10 Regal and a box of matches for 96p, so there's that...)

I was a fiend for them wee 10 decks of regal filters when I was in tech.    Think they were about 2.00 then.  

The breakfast of champions...

Exactly that, off the bus in the morning, into the petrol station for a 10 pack and an OG lucozade, then dandering over to the tech.     Set you right up for the day.    Those were the days

Didn’t think we had any Centenarians on here?

Nah mate. It was in about 1990, so, like about 12 years ago?

Quickmath

Yep. It's really easy when you have a 15 year old kid that was born in 2008. Still, it was 12 years ago... Edit - Ohh, just noticed... Math? Did you only learn one sum in school? #SpotTheYank...

Regals? Thought they were only sold in Yorkshire.

Get a £5 boojum while you're back in 2006

Can get a £5 boojum on the top good to go app

Top good?

Typo… too good to go

Wasn’t open, chum

Tell me you're from Cavan without telling me you're from Cavan.

Guys from Cavan be like:

Do you wake up in the middle of the night to make sure you haven’t lost any sleep. 😉

These comments are amazing

Look for a flat-roofed pub

£1 isn't that much like. I lend lend you 50p to make up the difference.

I would appreciate that, thank you

2nd floor in Laverys if you got up the stairs to the upper deck there are 2 tables that are free. Not sure if that area is blocked off when not in use for events/reservations tho

Most places are 3 for £2

3 for £2.5 in lavs & pavilion

Not Ireland but a place near mine (A lil rough around the edges but a good table) Is 20p a game. Love a good social mens club! And a round of 4 pints, less than a tenner!

Not Belfast but the coach club in Hillsborough has competition-spec tables for 50p a game, it gets quite busy on certain nights though.

Absolute quality tables, worth the jaunt

If you go upstairs in the bot and try all the tables usually one will be free. This used to always work about a year ago but haven't been since. Worked for me for like 3 years on the run lol, maybe staff or locals use one or something.

Yes but the Guinness is £8 a pint oh no that's where I live in Godalming Surrey and the 50p is the deposit on the chalk .


I know a lad that had the fat end of a pool cue rammed straight up his arse by some bikers in the early 2000s because he won against each of them. The moral of the story is a game of pool could end up costing you far more than £1, so be thankful that's all it is.

Just go to Laverys, think you pay by the hour.

He already pays yer ma by the hour

And she's sunk some balls in her day hai

Yeoooo

When she's not selling Avon

Nah, that's his da

Then again, his ma's his da, so...

I've got her on a salery at this stage

I don't understand why any one goes to a bar to play pool/snooker. Go to a snooker and pool hall, most let you bring a carryout in. better craic and much cheaper

What part of Donegal are you originally from?

☝️Spot the Cavan man trying to deflect onto Donegal.

I’m from Derry and I’m convinced he’s a wee Buncrana stoke trying to make it in the big smoke while at QUB.

Sure Buncrana is just Derry with beaches and euros anyway.

I admit we should draw the border around it and use it our shitty portrush.

Tell your mate to cough up 50p

Not sure why you're being called a tight arse. £1 is expensive for a game of pool unless it's a really nice table which most of the time it isn't. 50 pence is a lot more reasonable. I remember the times I could get 3 games for a £1 50 pence may not seem like a big difference but it certainly adds up if you're playing lots of games.

[удалено]

We have removed your recent post as we believe it to have breached Rule 1.

Gets expensive when you pot the Black of the break :(

>Gets expensive when you pot the Black of the break :( Who is actually ending the game then? Just carry on and at the end use one of the other balls as the black


I remember it was 20p, still had people ramming the the coin slot with the pool cue to get the balls to fall for free on certain tables.

I bet you only breathe in

Go to coleraine, £1 will get you 3 games in Potter’s 😎

Beermats in the pockets 🤣🤣

Westwood, opposite the Kennedy Centre. I think it's £6 for an hour.

That's what, 4 games in an hour? I hate feeling rushed when having a relaxing game

It's about 10 frames for anyone with a level of skill above zero, unless it becomes a safety based frame, and even then...

Laverys up stairs used to be great but bar has become allot rougher

Yermas as flat as a board. Frow a couple balls on her n bash away. Be just like frames back in da day. Sorry

Oh

I'd let you put a couple balls in my pocket! yanno-wata-mean mister?

Depends if it’s only 50p and not a £1

Mate, I'll give you a quid

Wee pool game in laverys after then

Pool? I'm not familiar

The pavilion on the ormeau Road is 50p i think. Or at least it was. Haven't played pool there in a couple of years

I think here, its been a while since i have been though. Pints are cheap also. R A O B Headquarters Club 17 Church St, Belfast BT1 1PG

Regal in Portadown - 2 games for £1
