Nick's Billiard Academy

We always have a great time and family fun. The staff is very friendly and attentive. You can't help it but have so much fun. The chicken wings and French fries are so good. The drinks are great! My husband and brother love shooting pool here. The tables are great!

Nick's Billiards in Chicago is a top-notch destination for anyone passionate about pool. The quality of the tables is outstanding, with the felt meticulously maintained, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable playing experience every time. Whether you're here for a casual game, participating in league nights, or competing in a tournament, the atmosphere is always welcoming and lively. The bar service is impressively fast, and the staff are friendly and attentive, making sure you never have to wait long for a drink. The food is another highlight—solid, delicious, and reasonably priced, it perfectly complements a night of billiards. Parking can be a bit challenging as the lot has a lot of restrictions and each side of the street has limitations as to when you can park. Regardless it is will worth it! Overall, my experience at Nick's Billiards was fantastic. It's a perfect spot for pool enthusiasts of all levels, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

I truly enjoyed how hospitable the staff was. The environment was laid back, a great place to meet up after work. The establishment was clean and the music was acceptable. $7/hourly/person was a fair rate.

An outstanding pool hall, with many high quality Diamond tables, from barboxes to 9 footers, good food, extraordinarily great prices, and amazingly friendly staff (Mili, Xadrian, and Jessie knew my name the second time I ever visited). Being part of a plaza, it also has free parking (further adding (in the rhetorical/ grammatical sense, of course, as it's subtracting, mathematically, from the already low prices) to the value for your money). It is one of my two go-to pool halls (as it requires a 20 minute, give or take, drive to get there for me currently and there's another great pool hall a few blocks from me (if that tells you more about the quality of Nick's)) and I highly recommend you put it at the top of your list of places to check out if you want to play some pool.

Nick’s Billiards is always a solid spot to hang out. I used to come here years ago and it still has that same laid back vibe. The tables are well maintained, the atmosphere is fun, and it’s a great place to chill with friends.
