Billiards were important in the West, as this exchange from Unforgiven between English Bob and the town barber shows: Barber: “Down the street and across. Greely’s Beer Garden and Billiard Parlour. Just ask for Alice; say you want a game of billiards.” English Bob: “Even though I don’t really wish to play?” Barber: “They burned the table in ’78 for firewood.” Don’t worry, Easy Street would never get rid of its tables. Perfectly balanced, impeccably maintained and as green as fresh-cut grass, the pool tables at Easy Street have been a downtown Monterey institution for over 20 years. They have classic seven – and nine-foot pool tables, and regularly host tournaments. An outdoor patio offers the ultimate complement for patrons to shoot the breeze between shooting pool.
