The green room is a horrible place to shoot pool. The last time I was in there I walked in. I walked out. The floors were uneven and rotting. How can you shoot pool with rotting floors? The tables are horrible people brag about this place only because it was in the movie Bull Durham I’m from Durham and I can tell you 100% that the place is trash. I do not recommend anybody go shoot pool there it smells horrible how nobody has bought this place and fixed it up is beyond me. They need to stop living off of a past résumé because The place was featured in a movie and actually care about what the customers think and fix the place up. Maybe one day somebody will buy it and actually fix it up. What’s the old saying you can polish a turd but it’s still a turd they’re not even trying to polish the turd… If I could get this place -10 stars, I would it’s that bad….

It's a fine place for pool hall junkies keep in mind they only have beer as far as I know.

An awesome find. The vibe is relaxed and friendly, and the pool tables are well cared for. My bartenders were happy to talk about Durham, the history of the bar, and they provided good beer recommendations. Just a great place to stop in for a cold beer, good vibes, and shoot some pool on quality tables in a place that cares about beer, vibes, and pool.

I've visited quite a few pool and billiards parlours, but Green Room truly stands out as the best. The tables are well-maintained. It's the perfect spot for both casual games and competitive matches. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier pool experience in NC!

It was clear when I walked into Green Room that the emphasis is on the game, which I appreciate. The tables and balls were clean and they have great house sticks.

Very disrespectful employees/bar tender what ever you wanna call them came in there to shoot some pool and drink couple beers with some friends like everyone does and the guy tells me I half to wait even tho there was like 3 pool tables open but no big deal right I’m a patient guy. But then this women said she was done shooting and we can take her table and the guy behind bar says oh your just so very polite aren’t you but I’m the one who runs this show not you in a very unpleasant sarcastic manner this was all in a matter of 2 minutes of me being in there and then I ask for a miller lite he said I don’t have that so I ask for a corona extra he said I don’t have that so I told him are your just bullshiting me or being serious he said what you think we are a gas station. Like they was just unprofessional like those are the top 5 most popular beers but he’s gonna tell me do we look like a gas station. I will never go back there again it wasn’t even all that nice anyways looked depressed lights are so deem surprise you can shoot pool. Don’t waste your time your better going up street west end they have good tables and are very respectful

The owner and staff are super nice. The atmosphere is very chill and low key. Definitely recommend for playing pool casually with some friends or even by yourself!

Best place to play pool in Durham
Ed Dillahunt
Ok spot, guy really knows his pool tables
Abby Mattingly
Great place. Bartenders are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Broad beer selection.
No Diamonds exept the one "Kyle" said they don't let anyone play on bc they're scared someone will damage it. Even if that someone's fargo is 200 above his. What an azzhole. The rest of the table look like Kyle made them out to be. Carpet cloth, Rips and tears. Stains and smells. But they take pride in them tables but not that diamond lol. Seriously, real pool players just go to Break Time.

Classic Durham. Cold, cheap beers and pool. One of the last real dives.

It's exactly the kind of pool hall/dive I want to be in. Slightly beat up but from years of patronage and love.No drafts or liquor but honestly incredible and reasonably priced can/bottle selection.Be aware that if pool league is happening tables are mostly taken.
