Best Place to Get Cued Up

Set in a strip mall, Racks Billiards is a down-home American pool hall. Games are just two bits, and more than a dozen tables await. The bar is packed with beer and every combination of hard liquor. The clientele is mostly local but friendly enough to welcome a stranger. Best of all, one of the walls is covered by a cool mural of Jackie Gleason, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and other famous ghosts. Its artist, Steve O'Hara, says, "It's like a pool heaven."
