Bar billiards is a form of billiards which developed from the French/Belgian game billiard russe, of Russian origin.
Bar billiards in its current form started in the UK in the 1930s when Englishman, David Gill, saw billiard russe being played in Belgium and persuaded the Jelkes company of Holloway Road in London to make a similar table. It is a traditional game played in leagues in Sussex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Norfolk and Northamptonshire. These counties comprise the All England Bar Billiards Association. There are also leagues in Guernsey and Jersey. Tables were also made by Sams, Riley, Burroughs & Watts and Clare. The standard "league" tables have a playing surface approximately 32 inches (81cm) wide. Sams also made a narrower version with a 28-inch (71cm) width playing surface.
The game
Bar billiards is played on a unique table with no side or corner pockets but with nine holes in the playing surface which are assigned various point values ranging from 10 to 200.
Bar billiards is a little-known British pub game. And in the tradition of video game "let's plays" -- only in the real world -- I got some folks together for a match.
THE RULES: Pot the balls in the holes. Each hole's worth some points. Red ball's worth double. Don't knock over the pegs. And you only score those points when you play a legal shot that doesn't pot anything. Don't worry, you'll work it out soon enough.

Restoring a Vintage 1933s Bar Billiards: Bringing the Old Rusty Beauty Back to Life
Welcome to my YouTube channel, dear viewers! Today, I want to take you on an exciting journey through the restoration of an impressive billiard table from 1933, showcasing all its fascinating details.
This billiard table was a true gem that I discovered on YouTube, albeit in a heavily damaged condition. However, with my craftsmanship and a touch of passion, I managed to breathe new life into this old treasure.
One of the biggest challenges was the playing surface, which was severely warped. But I didn't let that discourage me and decided to completely replace it. You'll be amazed at how it looks in the end!
The cues were also in poor shape, but after thorough sanding and treating them with high-quality o...

Restoring a Vintage 1933s Bar Billiards: Bringing the Old Rusty Beauty Back to Life
Welcome to my YouTube channel, dear viewers! Today, I want to take you on an exciting journey through the restoration of an impressive billiard table from 1933, showcasing all its fascinating details.
This billiard table was a true gem that I discovered on YouTube, albeit in a heavily damaged condition. However, with my craftsmanship and a touch of passion, I managed to breathe new life into this old treasure.
One of the biggest challenges was the playing surface, which was severely warped. But I didn't let that discourage me and decided to completely replace it. You'll be amazed at how it looks in the end!
The cues were also in poor shape, but after thorough sanding and treating them with high-quality oil, they now look brand new. To give them the final touch, I mounted custom-made aluminum end caps on the cues. These end caps were personally crafted by me using a lathe machine, and I'm truly proud of the result.
But that's not all! The metal digits that display the scores were entirely missing. To replace them, I created a mold using a 3D printer. A piece of sheet metal was placed inside the mold, and then I used a hammer to shape the metal. The result? Perfectly formed metal digits that completed the table.
The wooden frame of the billiard table was also heavily worn, but after hours of work, sanding, and staining, it now shines like new. A finish with high-quality oil ensures it will remain in top condition for many years to come.
In this video, I'll guide you through the entire restoration process, step by step, so you can fully appreciate the attention to detail and effort that went into this project. Perhaps this restoration will even inspire you to start your own DIY project!
