Like jousting, billiards requires competitors to defeat opponents with a stick and gets more challenging when carried out on in-line skates. Show off sure-footed cue skills with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get one hour of pool for two people, two menu items, and two drinks at The Hub Billiard Club in Island Park (a $34 value).

The newest addition to Long Island's billiards scene, The Hub boasts 18 pool tables, Ping-Pong, air hockey, and a full bar serving classic American eats and liquid libations. Pool sharks can challenge a favorite friend or least favorite automaton to face-off on the felt, fitting in as many games and subsequent Gatorade-doused victory laps as 60 minutes allow. After the game, a beer, cocktail, soda, or glass of wine paired with nachos, burgers, or wings pushes aside petty pool feuds to focus on more important matters, such as eating and watching sports. The Hub’s seven flat-screen TVs invite patrons to enjoy the latter, easily seen from the polished wood bar or cozy leather furniture scattered throughout the hall.
