MEAT MARKET: Malarkey's Pool & Brew

LOTS OF CUE CARRIERS >>>

I get to Malarkey's a little before midnight on Friday the 13th, thinking this would be the ideal time to sift through the crowd and get some good people-watching done. Unfortunately, attendance is sparse in the rather huge space Malarkey's boasts. I'm greeted mainly by the deep green walls and long noirish shadows that fill this fairly unassuming pool hall. I take a brief walk around and note several pool players with cue carriers. The long and short: they're really serious about pool here. The odds of hooking up seem remote.
