The expression "behind the 8 ball" can apply to many of life's obstacles, from facing a traffic-court judge to accidentally baking your car keys into a pie. Sink problems into the corner pocket with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of pub fare, drinks, and billiards at Anazeh Sands. Anazeh Sands East is located on East Mall Drive, while Anazeh Sands West is in Wyoming and features Charley’s Pub & Grill.

Anazeh Sands enlivens evenings with fermented nectars, billiards tables, and meaty meals. Pool cues crash and sippers slurp at the bar at both Anazeh Sands East and West, but diners can only explore Charley’s dinner menu at the west location. The magic mushroom burger ($5.95), pile of pepperoni pizza, which features a pile of pepperoni ($10.50), and pacific tilapia ($8.95) each sing an ode to meat-craving taste buds while satiating your innermost stomach.

Confront the line of 9-foot and 7-foot diamond, Brunswick gold crown, and Viking tables and the mammoth 10-foot Carom Table and scatter a set of billiard balls for $9 an hour. During a game, beer imbibers can select from domestic bottle brews ($3.50) and trick taps into releasing their Two Hearted Ale, The Poet Oatmeal Stout, Rolling Rock, and Miller High Life (22 oz., $3.50). Like a burning library, Anazeh Sands lights the night until 2 a.m. every day of the week.
