Joe Broadway's, Staten Island

Brunswick Gold Crown IV pool tables offer up their ample pockets to shooters' careful aim in Joe Broadway's spacious playroom. Every night until 3 a.m., an Internet jukebox augments the triumphant clamor of hefty breaks with players' favorite songs or high-school geometry lectures. In between games of pool, players can belly up to the full bar for a beer and a gourmet burger, play a game on the Xbox or PS3 console, or raise the stakes with a free round of darts. Large-screen plasma TVs let players keep one eye on the game, and an onsite pro shop lets serious shooters replace their repurposed parade batons with real cues.
