Peoples on Beale

How did I not know about this place? Sure, I don’t play pool, but all my guy friends are OBSESSED with it and I’m honestly shocked they have never dragged me here! This place is right next to Tin Roof and across from Coyote Ugly. Perfect place to start the night, or end the night!
They have 8 pool tables, a juke box, and a stage. Not sure what exactly they do with said stage, but it is there ;). Also, can we talk about their vending machine? I’m honestly mad I didn’t take a picture of it. It has everything from mints, to food, to condoms. Honestly they are ahead of the game if you ask me.
I went during the day, so not exactly sure what the vibe and atmosphere here is at night, but I have a feeling we will come here late night sometime soon. All in all, it’s a cool, chill place to shoot some pool and drink a little beer!

DO NOT COME HERE! Customer service is absolutely terrible and the owner is a LYING thief. They will scam you by switching employees and making you pay twice. Terrible business that should be shut down. AVOID at all costs!

First of all, great atmosphere, nice to have a chill location on Beale Street. The experience, however, was just terrible. We entered the bar, paid our $ 10 for an hour to play pool (totally a fair price), and started playing a game. 15 minutes later we were approached and told our time was up. I explained that we’d just started. Less than 5 minutes after the owner stormed to our table, and told us we’d needed to pay him. Things became aggressive very quickly with him and one of the people in my group, lots of swearing and threatening motions, and we were told to, «get the f**k out.» The owner suggested that someone must have stolen the $ 10 from us, and that wasn’t his problem. I had already purchased a $ 15 drink from the bar, and about to purchase another — were we really go to steal $ 10 worth of pool? Just terrible customer service. Even if some random person had taken our money and assigned us a table, give the customer the benefit of the doubt, especially if they’ve been putting a bunch of money in your bar. We won’t be coming back, shame, cool location.

I love Peoples. I have been here many many times. The bartenders are cool and the place is nice. Usually not a lot of people when I go but I like it that way. Its a relaxed atmosphere. There is a juke box with a lot of todays music and a variety.
The tables are nice and clean and they have lots of sticks to choose from.

Awesome!!! When we crossed Beale Street in front of «Coyote Ugly» to the People’s Billiard Club… I was pleasantly impressed !!! This is a real old fashioned «POOL HALL», the type my daddy and my uncles would take me to when I was young. I mean Young. I mean 4 – 5 yrs old… lol !!! Dancing the Juke Box to Elvis in the corner while the played Pool, drank beer and smoked cigarettes. Yes today that would be a phone call to the CPS… but we are talking about late 1968 and 1969… a different time, a different place… a different world… and walking into this Pool Hall called People’s Billiard Club on Beale Street transformed to this wonderful yester years !!! I wanted to cry and my hubby, Tony thought I lost my mind!!!
We went into the pool hall that had 12 tables, and a few high top tables with bar stood situated throughout the hall among the Billiard Tables here and there. There are wires on the ceiling hanging down in long loops with beads like an abacus to keep the score, You use your pool stick to reach up and slide the beads here and there to keep the score/​count. Depending on the game your playing. There was a juke box, a small bar serving a full liquor selection and beer selection. They serve Pizza and I didn’t see anything else on the menu. but I didn’t see anyone eating any nor did I smell any cooking. There was only one bartender and guessing by his side, he was also the law in the building the bouncer and rule enforcer… but everyone was having a good time.
You can smoke here, which is a great plus for the drinkers and smokers… I personally don’t do either but it helped with the reminiscing I was experience… and I loved every moment of it. Tony drank about 3 beers here, we didn’t play any billiards but we enjoyed watching the others. I had an iced tea and I did order One Michelob Light Ultra to sip… I gave into weakness… lol !!! but at least I didn’t grab a Marlboro!!!
I definitely recommend this location on Beale Street and I can’t wait to partake again in the place that brings me back to a time I long for again and again!!!

Peoples has been around for over 100 years and is the only pool hall on Beale Street. You’ll find tons of pool tables and big screen TVs if you’d rather relax and catch a game on the tube.
A more relaxed atmosphere than most of the establishments on Beale, Peoples has its share of regulars, as well as a full bar. The bar also stocks cigars and has recently started cooking up pizzas for hungry patrons.
A great place to chill, watch a game or get your game on, Peoples treats everyone like family.
