Snooker vs. Pool vs. Billiards: What's the Difference?

September 4, 2026 3 min read

"Snooker near me" and "pool table near me" often turn up the same search results, but the games themselves aren't the same at all.

The quick version

  • Pool (8-ball/9-ball) — played on a smaller table with 7 solid and 7 striped balls plus the 8-ball. Fast, casual, most common in North America.
  • Snooker — played on a much larger table with 15 red balls and 6 coloured balls, using stricter scoring. Slower, more technical.
  • Billiards — technically the umbrella term for all cue sports, though it's often used loosely to mean pool.

What you'll find on our floor is classic pool — big and medium tables set up for 8-ball, built for a fast, social game rather than a technical one.

Whatever you call it, the point is the same: a cue, a table, and a good excuse to stay a while.

Come try it yourself — book a table or just walk in.
