About Pool Lab

Built for practice.

Pool Lab is a pool hall on The Queensway in Etobicoke with five private rooms and the Arena, open 24/7. Toronto's first of its kind, open since April 2024.

Dan, founder of Pool Lab

"I'm the guy who notices when the cloth plays slow or the balls are a little off. I opened Pool Lab in April 2024 for players like that, the ones who can't stop thinking about pool. So I built the room I always wanted, with a Rasson OX 9-ft table, Simonis 860HR cloth, Aramith Tournament balls and a Predator light, and put that same setup in every room."

Dan, founder of Pool Lab

What we believe

How we play.

Four ideas behind every room.

01

Quality comes first

Every room has the same tables, cloth and balls you'd find at a world-class tournament, where elite players compete for titles.

02

Your room, your pace

The Day Pass gives you up to 6 hours for $69, because the best sessions run long. Treat it like the table in your basement and lock in on your game.

03

Respect the space

This is a practice space, not a bar. No alcohol, smoking or vaping. Leave the table ready for the next player.

04

Open when you are

Book any hour, day or night. 4 am sessions are exactly why we built the place.

Play with us.

Most of the week Pool Lab is quiet rooms and solo practice. Every so often the place fills up. Toronto Billiards Club hosts social nights here, and we run the occasional pop-up group workshop, clinic or bootcamp.

Follow along for the next event, or join the group chat and find a practice partner.
