Chris’s Billiards is a great spot in Chicago if you’re looking to play on professional-quality pool tables at a very fair price. The tables are well maintained and perfect for serious players or anyone who just wants a great game with friends.
The staff is very friendly and professional, which makes the whole experience even better. They keep things running smoothly and create a welcoming atmosphere.
The only thing I’d say is that the place could use a little remodeling or updating, but honestly the quality of the tables and the great prices make it totally worth it.
Overall, it’s a classic pool hall with great value and a solid place to enjoy the game. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great atmosphere. It looks the same as it did 30 years ago. A little run down in the back but the tables are still good and the employees are very nice.

Really Welcoming and Aesthetic Ambience almost feels like you time travel back to the 80’s. Really fun spot in our amazing city to spend some time with friends.
The quality of tables are amazing and the pool cue’s they have available are in great condition as well

It's an amazing place. A must visit, and for those that don't know... some of the scenes of the Color of Money were filmed here.

Historic pool hall, one of the filming locations for the "Color Of Money". I stopped in on a weekday afternoon. Probably half of the tables were in use in the main room by the time I left. The fellow working the counter was helpful, and he and I spent some time talking about the movie.
There were a number of skilled shooter there, some playing 3-cushion billiards, others one-pocket and a few playing rotation games. One player had his names stitched on his case, so I looked him up and discovered he's about a 700 Fargo. Pretty sporty.
Pocket billiard tables were all 9-foot Diamonds that I could see. I think they were blue label. Cloth on some was looking pretty worn, and the furniture and floors were old and scruffy. My table played fine - rolls and bounces were true. Balls were heavily used but serviceable. House cues were in just OK shape - at least the ones near my table.
No alcohol - just pop and snack food. You can bring in beer and wine, apparently.
