8 Ball is an old-school, raunchy billiards bar that can only be accessed through the basement of The Blind Pig or an inconspicuous side door in the alley next to the building. Try not to get hit by a flying dart on the way in as you head to the back where the pool and pinball lives. Generously speaking, the bar is a little cramped. But the devoted gangs of competitive billiard players, beanie-wearing existentialists, and pit-stopped truckers make the space feel like your dad’s garage; charming chaos with a lot of promise and a high chance of hearing some Journey rip through the speakers.
