It’s a real good mix, because it's a game you can enjoy strictly on a skill level, Mr. Sakenes said.Equipped with 35 tables, the billiards hall is open 24 hours a day and closes only for a balf-day on Christmas ard New Year’s.Like several other relatively new pool halls in the county, his hall doesn’t have — or want — a liquor license.Some people are real serious about it, and as soon as you have alcohol, you have problems,” Mr. Sakenes said.But for pool players who might enjoy sipping a draft between shots, Shooter’s Sports Bar and Grill in Severna Park has four pool tables and is adding a fifth next week Billiards will continue to go upscale in the 1990s, said manager Gary Bouthillette.You’re not gomg to see guysrunning around in took tops orcrawling out from underneath theirtrucks (to play),” he said. £Other places to play pool include Fiddler’s Green off Generals ffigh way in Crownsville, and Carmeto’c? off Old Mill Bottom Road near Cape St. Claire.Bowling also is a popular family weekend activity, and the area has* several bowling alleys. :Jack and Sherry Lewis of Severn^ Park brought their two daughters* 20-year-old Amy and 10-year-old Car-r rie, to Severna Park Lanes last weekend.It seems to be pretty popular.
