Best pool, billiards & snooker halls in Singapore
Searching for pool, billiards, and snooker halls is rather similar to searching for karaoke studios; you’re likely just trying to partake in the activity at hand, and don’t want to risk setting foot in an establishment that leans towards lupsup.
We’ve compiled a list of wholesome places to play pool, billiards, and snooker in Singapore, backed by positive reviews from both newbie players as well as seasoned enthusiasts.
What is the difference between pool, billiards & snooker?
First, let’s get an essential question out of the way. Don’t worry, I was once completely clueless about the differences between pool, billiards, and snooker myself, and too paiseh to ask. Here’s the breakdown of their gameplay and equipment:
Aspect | Pool | Snooker | Billiards (Carom) |
Table Size | Typically 9ft by 4.5ft (though sizes can vary) | Usually 12ft by 6 ft | Usually 10ft by 5ft, no pockets |
Balls Used | Uses 16 balls: 1 cue ball, 7 striped, 7 solid, and 1 black 8-ball | Uses 22 balls: 1 cue ball, 15 red, and 6 other coloured balls (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black) | Uses 3 balls: 1 white cue ball, 1 yellow cue ball (both can be used as cue balls), and 1 red target ball |
Cues | Standard cues, around 58in long | Similar to pool cues, often lighter and narrower tip for precision | Longer and heavier cues with larger tips for control on a larger table |
Main Objective | Pot balls into pockets according to specific game rules (e.g. 8-ball, 9-ball) | Score points by potting balls in sequence and completing specific combinations of pots and cushions | Score points by caroming the cue ball off both the object balls with a single shot, no pockets involved |
Gameplay | Games vary; common types include 8-ball and 9-ball where balls must be pocketed in a certain order or group | Sequence play where reds alternate with colours, colours re-spotted until reds are gone, then colours in sequence | Mainly 3-cushion billiards where the cue ball must hit 3 cushions before the last ball |
Scoring | No traditional scoring, game ends by potting the 8-ball after all of one’s group (solids or stripes) | Scored based on ball values: red (1pt), yellow (2pt), green (3pt), brown (4pt), blue (5pt), pink (6pt), and black (7pt) | Points awarded for each successful carom typically in games like “three-cushion” billiards |
