Best Bars to Shoot Pool

Adrenaline
Part of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, this place is huge, and has a massive terrace running along its length and overlooking the racecourse. For once, lose all your money at the pool tables instead of on the ponies.
1 Sports Rd., Happy Valley Racecourse, Happy Valley, 3690-3690.

Kangaroo’s Club
It may feature just the one pool table, but this Aussie pub is classic as far as pool nights go – sports memorabilia on the walls, widescreen TV showing sports, and men who know how to wield their sticks properly.
54-62 Lockhart Rd., Wan Chai, 2139-3111.

Racks
Newly opened and impossibly hip for a place with a concrete floor, Racks sports several pool tables, leather couches, and a full-featured DJ booth.
M88, 7/F, 2-8 Wellington St., Central, 2868-3762.

Pickled Pelican
Remarkably breezy and scenic for an English pub, PP’s Stanley branch is nonetheless all pubbed up in woods, quaint decorations and trophies. There’s a single pool table far away from the sea view that other customers will be enjoying, drink in hand, woman on lap.
90 Stanley Main St., Stanley, 2813-4313.
