What People Are Saying About Green Room
The Editor

In Short – Old platform chairs, autographed Duke jerseys and 10 of the finest pool tables you're ever likely to see--all nine-foot classic Brunswicks and Saunier-Wilhems, dating back to 1925, perfectly leveled with smooth felt--and plenty of straight cues to shoot with. Billiard aren't free, but there are plenty of other gratis activities. The room's centerpiece is a homemade 22-foot shuffleboard, where you can take revenge on your friends fter losing at 9-ball, darts or cards.

This was our first time in the Green Room, and I have to say, I've finally found a place to play pool! Sure, many places have one or two tables, but they're usually taken by 3 drunk dudes trying to pick up chicks and never give up the table. The Green Room isn't flashy, but it is a cool place to hang out and drink cold beer. Didn't feel unsafe at all even on a late Saturday night. Plenty of parking and if you want to go somewhere else, there's lots of other hangouts nearby. Overall, a great experience and we'll sure be back.
- Pros: Table availability, environment
- Cons: kind of grungy

Just a quick post to all who venture to Durham. The Green Room has become smoke free. It makes a huge difference for the future visitor who might otherwise be put off. In addition, to respond to some of the comments about indifferent service and being treated rudely, I would say the Green Room is more like a best friend than a local pool hall. If you come in it with a bad attitude you might get some bad attitude back. The Green Room is not in the business of pleasing people who can't please themselves. Come in with a fun and welcoming attitude and you will be treated with the same cheer as you bring in, I promise. Who knows who these people were that recieved bad service, but I would venture to guess that if you or I owned our own bar or pool hall, we probably would have delt with these customers just as the Green Room may have been forced to in these particular instances. Visit, enjoy, relax. See you there.
- Pros: Friends Pool and Music
- Cons: None

Best place in Durham
by luckylady123 at Citysearch
I love the Green Room! This is the only place in Durham I go to hang out. The guys on staff are all friendly and smart and the owner always makes sure to say hello. This is a place where you can go and feel free to be yourself in a safe environment. They have a great selection of bottled beers and sell those cute little cokes in the glass bottles. Did I mention it has the best jukebox in the world? If you haven't been there, check it out!
- Cons: too smoky
