Danville’s Upscale Pool Hall Experience

River District Social offers something Danville has been missing: a pool hall that feels like a lounge rather than a dive. Our pro-grade billiard tables sit in the heart of a converted 120-year-old tobacco warehouse, surrounded by craft cocktails, curated music, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay for another game. Whether you’re a serious player looking for a quality table or just looking for a relaxed way to spend an evening with friends, our pool hall in Danville, VA delivers.

With tables starting at just $13 per hour, billiards is the most affordable activity at River District Social, and it pairs perfectly with everything else we offer. Play a few racks of 8-ball, then head to the bowling lanes or golf simulators. Or just settle in at the table for the night with a round of drinks and good conversation.

Quality Tables, Quality Game

We take our tables seriously. Every billiard table at River District Social features fresh felt, precision leveling, and quality bumpers that give you a true roll and consistent play. The cue racks are stocked with well-maintained house cues, and each table comes set with a full complement of balls ready to go.

Whether you prefer 8-ball, 9-ball, cutthroat, or just casual knock-around with friends, the tables play clean. Serious pool players appreciate the quality, while casual players appreciate the accessibility. No sticky felt, no warped cues, no wobbly legs. Just a solid table in a great setting.

The Lounge Atmosphere

What makes our pool hall different from the other options in town is everything surrounding the tables. The industrial character of our historic warehouse building creates a naturally cool backdrop, with exposed brick, high ceilings, and modern LED accents blending old and new. The music rotates through curated playlists during the week and transitions to live acts and DJ sets on weekends.

The bar is always within reach. Our craft cocktail menu features signature drinks like espresso martinis and house margaritas mixed with premium spirits. The draft list highlights local and regional beers, and the wine selection rounds out the options for every preference. This isn’t the kind of pool hall where your only drink option comes from a cooler behind the counter.

Food That Goes Beyond Bar Snacks

When hunger hits between games, our full kitchen is ready. The menu at River District Social goes well beyond typical bar food:

  • ✓ Chef-crafted burgers including the popular Smokehouse Burger
  • ✓ Shareable appetizers like fried mac and cheese triangles and pot stickers
  • ✓ Mango habanero wings with your choice of sauces
  • ✓ Fresh salads, wraps, and sandwiches
  • ✓ Kids menu options for family visits

Order from your table area and keep the game going while you wait. The food arrives hot and the drinks stay cold. That combination of quality food, quality drinks, and quality tables is what keeps our regulars coming back.

Perfect for Casual Nights and Special Occasions

Pool at River District Social works for just about any occasion. The laid-back pace of billiards makes it ideal for nights where you want activity without intensity:

  • ✓ Low-key date nights with cocktails and conversation
  • ✓ After-work hangouts with coworkers
  • ✓ Friend group meetups on weeknights
  • ✓ Pre-dinner activity before heading to a River District restaurant
  • ✓ Part of a bigger night that includes bowling and golf simulators

Each table accommodates up to 4 players, and with multiple tables available, you can set up tournaments or round-robin brackets for larger groups. Our party packages, which start at $175, bundle pool time with bowling, golf simulators, drinks, and appetizers for a complete group entertainment experience.

The Most Affordable Activity in the Venue

At $13 per hour during weekday and daytime hours and $16 per hour on Friday and Saturday evenings, pool is our lowest-priced activity. That rate covers the full table, so you can split the cost between up to 4 players. For a group of four on a weekday evening, that works out to just over $3 per person per hour of entertainment, including all equipment. Add a couple rounds of drinks and some appetizers and you still have a night out that’s remarkably affordable by any standard.

And on Mondays, it gets even better. Half Off Play Monday drops the table rate to just $6.50 per hour, making it one of the cheapest entertainment options in all of Danville.

Part of Something Bigger

Our pool tables don’t exist in isolation. They’re part of a full entertainment venue that also includes golf simulators with 38+ courses, LED-lit bowling lanes, a full sports bar with HD screens, live music on weekends, and a kitchen serving from 11am until close. Many of our guests start at the pool table and end up exploring the rest of the venue before the night is over.

Located at 680 Lynn Street in the River District, we’re surrounded by Danville’s best restaurants, breweries, and nightlife. The Caesars Virginia casino is just a ten-minute drive, and the Dan River trails are right outside our door. Whether you’re a local or visiting Southside Virginia for the first time, our pool hall is a great place to start your evening.
