Drink 2011: Sam's Hollywood Billiards

This is a great place both to spend a rainy night with the crack of billiard balls as your background noise and to grab an early morning breakfast in the hungover light of day. There are nine pool tables downstairs and six upstairs—enough so there's nary a wait to play—along with an awesome pair of comfy couches on the second floor to plunk down and watch a Blazers game. The couches fit the old-house feel of this Hollywood neighborhood fixture. The place is well-worn with a clientele to match—as simple and efficient as Willie Mosconi lining up a 2 ball in the corner. HENRY STERN.

Happy hour: $2.50 microbrews and well drinks, $2 Budweiser and Bud Light 4-7 pm daily.
