A Real Bar with Pool Tables in Brooklyn
SET Lounge & Billiards is a bar with pool tables in Brooklyn, with two full venues: the flagship in Brighton Beach and a second location on McDonald Avenue in Gravesend. Both combine a full bar and kitchen with proper game floors, so you can order a drink, grab a table for $10 per hour per player, and make a full night of it. The Brighton Beach location runs as a true sports bar, with signature cocktails ($14 to 16), big screens, and free UFC watch parties.
Pool, ping pong, and darts all run $10 per hour per player with two or more players, one hour minimum. The best value is the $20 Unlimited Games deal: unlimited pool, ping pong, mini bowling, and darts every day until 7 PM, with regular rates after that. Students get a discount on games during the day, ID required, ask the staff for details. Full rates are posted on the Hours and Rates page.

More Than Pool
Pool tables are the anchor, but SET is built as a full game lounge. Brighton Beach is one of the few venues in Brooklyn with authentic Russian pyramid tables, an Eastern European billiards game played with larger, heavier balls and much tighter pockets that rewards precision and patience. You can read more on the pyramid billiards page, and the events calendar covers watch parties, tournaments, and DJ nights.
