More Than Just a Game
Pool has a way of bringing people together, whether it’s friends catching up, a spontaneous match between strangers, or families looking for fun. And with its upstairs location offering stunning rooftop views, this isn’t just any pool game—it’s a Freight Bar experience.
Did you know? Pool is played under different rules all around the world, and even in Ballarat, players often have unique variations. At Freight Bar, we suggest either agreeing on the rules before you play or following the classic tradition: whoever owns the table makes the rules.
For example, some players choose to play 8-ball with no two shots on the black, so it’s always a good idea to clarify the house rules before starting your game.
A Fun Fact About Pool
Did you know? Pool originated from a lawn game similar to croquet in the 15th century!**Over time, it moved indoors, with green cloth used to mimic grass, creating the game we know and love today. Now, it’s a staple of bars and social gatherings worldwide.
