Can anyone help with this question please... Which pool clubs have the most full-size American pool tables in the UK? Someone asked me, and frankly, I'm just not sure where the biggest clubs are any more. -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor

Are any of the huge clubs that Rileys had still available... Manchester had loads of tables didn't it?

Is the hurricane club in St. Albans still open? Their website doesn't work, and their facebook hasn't been updated for a year. It also isn't listed on the main hurricane room website. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Aberdeen still has a big Rileys club, used to have 14 tables, but as is common practice now, half of them replaced with those silliy pub pool tables. To be honest, for 12 quid an hour, and the standard of tables, just not worth it. Rather go to either venue at the beach (Boardwalk, 7 tables @ £4.50 an hour) & (Miami Beach Cuba lounge, 7 tables @ £5 an hour)

Spot White is a class club in Newcastle as Martin says. Hustler's is a good club but the parking is tricky I've found. I do worry if there will be anywhere with 9-Ball tables in the next 5 years barring one or two regional flag flyers. Which is weird given that the World Championships of 9-Ball and other pool has so many countries in it, far more than almost any other sport which is usually either Euro dominated, Asia or America. Pool is equally split all over the place.

Frames Complex, Belfast has 12x 9' tables
Is Riley's Solihull still open and if so, how many 9' American tables do they have left?
