Pool halls in Berlin: €5–€16 an hour, 3 won’t quote a week
Berlin pool tables cost €5–€16 an hour. All 11 halls with cheapest hour, table counts and opening times — and the 3 that won’t quote a week. Checked Sept 2026.
Pool halls in Berlin charge €5 to €16 an hour. Nine of the eleven bill by the minute, so you pay for what you play. Four halls make Monday their cheap day. Three will not quote a full week.
The short version
- €5 an hour is the cheapest published rate of the eleven halls here — Hanniball in Tempelhof, Mondays only, from 15:00.
- €7.90 is the cheapest rate here on more than one day — Pool Position in Spandau, all day Monday and to 18:00 Tuesday to Friday.
- Three of the eleven will not quote you a full weekly price. Hanniball publishes only its Monday rate; Poolparadies and Pool & Cigars publish none.
- One of the eleven never closes — Billard House in Friedrichshain, 24 hours, every day.
- Only one hall states outright that the price does not change with the number of players. Five call it table rent without saying so; five say nothing at all.
How we checked
Every price, table count and opening time comes from the hall’s own website, read in September 2026, with all source URLs at the bottom. Where prices are published only in a PDF, we read the PDF. Where a site contradicts itself — and four of these halls do — we print both versions rather than pick the friendlier one.
We print no transport directions or travel times, and no price for a hall that publishes none.

What pool halls in Berlin cost, hall by hall
Sorted by the cheapest hour each hall publishes. “Peak” is the dearest pool rate on the same list.
| Hall | District | Cheapest published hour | Peak | Pool tables | Opens |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hanniball | Tempelhof | €5 — Mondays from 15:00 | not published | 16 | 15:00 Mon–Fri, 14:00 Sat–Sun |
| Pool Position | Spandau | €7.90 — Mon all day, Tue–Fri to 18:00 | €12.50 | 20 | 14:00 Mon–Fri, 13:00 Sat–Sun |
| pool-inn | Lichtenberg | €8 — Mondays and Sundays | €14 | not published | 16:00 Sun–Fri, 12:00 Sat |
| Billard House | Friedrichshain | €9.50 — Mon/Wed 10:00–18:00 | €13.60 | 18 | always open |
| Billardaire | Schöneberg | €10 — until 19:00 | €11 | 12 | 16:00 Mon–Fri, 14:00 Sat–Sun |
| PVIEW | Steglitz | €10 — until 18:00 | €12 | 9 | 10:00 daily |
| Bata, Hauptbahnhof | Moabit (Mitte) | €11 — off-peak | €13 | 19 | 15:00 Mon–Fri, 13:00 Sat–Sun |
| Billardsalon Köh | Mitte | €12 — Sunday to Thursday | €14 | not published | 17:00 daily |
| Bata, Alexanderplatz | Mitte | €13 — off-peak | €16 | 8 | 12:00 daily |
| Poolparadies | Lichtenberg | not published | not published | 20 | 16:00 Mon–Sat, 14:00 Sun |
| Pool & Cigars | Prenzlauer Berg | not published | not published | not published | 17:00 Mon–Fri, 13:00 Sat–Sun |
This is a day-and-hour price, not a hall price. Billard House costs €9.50 or €13.60 depending on when you walk in — a 43% swing inside one building. Switching hall can save more still, because the cheapest hours here run from €5 to €13. Monday is never the dearest day at any of the nine halls that publish a rate for it, four of them name it as their cheap day, and every pool rate under €10 is in Tempelhof, Spandau, Lichtenberg or Friedrichshain.
Per table or per person decides your evening, and almost nobody answers it. Only Billard House states it outright, on its own English price page: prices are “per device, no matter how many persons play”. Five more call the rate table rent without spelling that out — Köh, Hanniball, both Bata rooms and Poolparadies — and the other five say nothing at all. At €12 an hour, four people sharing a table is €3 each; four billed individually is not. Ask at the counter.
And a Berlin billiard table is bookable in the early evening and a free-for-all after that. All five halls that publish a booking cut-off stop between 17:00 and 20:00 — Pool Position at weekends, both Bata rooms at 19:00, Billardaire and Köh at 20:00 — so at 21:00 on a Saturday none of the five will promise you a table.
Where a hall prices the table rather than the player, the second player costs nothing. The only hard part is having one. Post the hall and the hour on MITRA and let someone claim the other cue. Get MITRA on Google Play · Download on the App Store
The cheapest hours
Hanniball, Tempelhofer Damm 227, Tempelhof. Sixteen pool tables, plus steel and soft darts, in the old building of the Tempelhofer Hafen centre. Mondays are the “Spartag”: pool is €5 an hour from 15:00 until closing, billed by the minute. The rest of the week is the problem: the site says the tariff varies by weekday and that the price list hangs up inside, so unless it is Monday you cannot find out what you will pay before you arrive. A Clubcard 50 at €109 a year halves the rate but excludes Mondays. Snooker is gone: a note stamped “August 26” says they can no longer offer it.
Pool Position, Am Juliusturm 31, Spandau. The joint-largest room here, and the most fully priced: 20 pool tables, 3 snooker and 1 carambolage, plus darts, kickers and poker. Spartarif €7.90 covers all day Monday — Happy-Spieltag — plus Tuesday to Friday until 18:00. Afternoons at weekends and on holidays are €9.90. Evenings from 18:00 are €10.90 Tuesday to Thursday and €12.50 Friday to Sunday and on holidays. Snooker is banded differently: €9.90 on the Spartarif, €11.90 in the afternoon, and a flat €14.50 every evening from 18:00.
Playing time is unlimited and billing is to the minute. Open 14:00 to 01:00 Monday to Thursday, to 03:00 Friday, 13:00 to 03:00 Saturday and 13:00 to 01:00 Sunday. Tables go by phone or at the counter only, and at weekends there is no booking for a start after 17:00. That tariff sheet is dated March 2025, and it is the only place the hall publishes its hours.
pool-inn, Wönnichstraße 68–70, Lichtenberg. The simplest pricing here, and the cheapest snooker: pool and snooker share one rate of €8 an hour on Mondays and Sundays, €11 Tuesday to Thursday and €14 on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays, billed to the minute. Open from 16:00 Sunday to Friday and from 12:00 on Saturdays. It publishes neither a closing time nor a table count, so ring before a late one.
The hall that never closes
Billard House, Rudolfstraße 4, Friedrichshain. Eighteen pool tables and three snooker tables over two floors, smoking and non-smoking areas, and the banner across the top of the site is not marketing: open 24 hours, every day. Which makes it the answer to a specific Berlin problem: it is 4am, the U-Bahn has stopped, and the alternative is going home.
Pool and snooker share one list, and everything is billed to the minute with VAT included. Monday and Wednesday are “Billard Tag” at €11.50 an hour, or €9.50 between 10:00 and 18:00. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are €13.60, or €10.60 in the same window. Weekends and holidays are €13.60, dropping to €12.90 by day — but only on the German price page. The site’s own English version prices both weekend slots at €13.60, so ask which one applies before you start.
Because snooker carries no surcharge here, €9.50 buys a snooker hour too — beaten only by pool-inn’s €8. Reservations by phone only, because staff keep the book behind the bar; card payment from €10. The list is stamped effective 1 December 2023 and is still the current one.
Twenty-four-hour baize only helps if someone is awake with you. A hall that never closes is one of the easiest plans in Berlin to say yes to at short notice — post the hour on MITRA and see who is still up. Get MITRA on Google Play · Download on the App Store
Berlin’s oldest, by its own account
Billardaire, Monumentenstraße 35, Schöneberg — second courtyard. It says it is thirty-five years old and Berlin’s oldest billiard salon. Twelve nine-foot pool tables, three snooker and one seven-foot carambolage table. Pool is €10 an hour until 19:00 and €11 after, snooker €12, carambolage €9, all billed to the minute. Open 16:00 to midnight Monday to Thursday, to 02:00 Friday, 14:00 to 02:00 Saturday and 14:00 to midnight Sunday, and in 2026 it closes only on 24 and 31 December.
The house rules are stated bluntly. Maximum four people per table, no larger groups at night and no birthday parties, because of the neighbours. Book through the online form rather than ringing — they admit the phone is rarely answered — and reservations run only up to 20:00. One live warning: Monumentenstraße is closed while it is rebuilt as a cycle street, with works due to run to early October, so the hall is telling people to come by bike or public transport.
That €1 evening step-up is small by the standards of this list: at Pool Position the gap between its cheapest and dearest pool hour is €4.60, at pool-inn €6. It gives Billardaire the smallest evening step-up on this list, so the after-work hour costs least extra — though Pool Position’s €10.90 midweek evening is cheaper outright. It is also one of only two rooms here with a carambolage table — a good pairing with the slow, talkative evening that suits Berlin’s board game cafés.
The two Bata rooms
Bata Bar & Billiards runs two rooms, both pricing the same way: one flat rate, with a surcharge from 19:00 on Fridays, Saturdays and the evening before a public holiday. The Hauptbahnhof room, Heidestraße 50, has 19 pool tables including a ten-foot Diamond, plus darts and a shuffleboard. Pool is €11 an hour, €13 at peak, opening from 15:00 Monday to Friday and 13:00 at weekends; non-smoking, but with a smoking lounge.
The Alexanderplatz room, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 13, is smaller, pricier and fully non-smoking: eight nine-foot Diamond tables, darts, a shuffleboard, air conditioning. Pool is €13 an hour and €16 at peak — the highest published pool rate of the eleven here. It opens daily at noon, earlier than anything else in Mitte, and its Friday and Saturday closing is the one figure Bata contradicts itself on — 04:00 in its hours table, 05:00 in the prose below it, on the same page. Both rooms bill by the minute; neither has snooker.
Bata’s web form is a request rather than a booking, confirmed only when they email back, and the latest start it will reserve is 19:00 — and at Alexanderplatz they do not reserve tables on Fridays, Saturdays or the evening before a holiday at all, walk-in only.
Mitte and Steglitz
Billardsalon Köh, Sophienstraße 6, Mitte. In the Hackesche Höfe, and the most particular room here. Table rent is €12 an hour Sunday to Thursday and €14 on Friday and Saturday, billed to the minute. Non-smoking, and cash only — the site’s own words are “No Cards, cash only”. Open daily from 17:00 to “open end”, with no table count published, and booking is for a 17:00 to 20:00 start only — after that it is a waiting list. Regulars get a Genießer-Karte: ten paid hours earn two free ones, the only stamp card here, though Hanniball’s €109-a-year Clubcard and PVIEW’s monthly club rate do the same job by subscription.
PVIEW, Albrechtstraße 55, Steglitz. Nine pool tables and four snooker, plus darts and a pinball machine. Pool is €10 an hour, €12 from 18:00; snooker €12 and €14. What makes it worth the trip south is the clock: it opens at 10:00 every day, holidays included, and runs to at least midnight. Nothing else here opens before noon except the 24-hour hall, so for a weekday-morning table it and the 24-hour hall are the only choices — one for our rainy day activities in Berlin.
PVIEW also sells the only monthly flat rate here: €75 a month for unlimited play, or €52 through its affiliated club, Billard Freunde Berlin e.V. At its €10 daytime hour that pays for itself at seven and a half hours a month; at the €12 evening rate, just over six. It is also the only hall here publishing an hourly rate that never mentions minute billing. One oddity: its privacy page still lists an old Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße address, while every other page says Albrechtstraße — go to Albrechtstraße.
A €75 monthly flat rate, or ten hours towards two free ones, only pays off if you go back. Both reward having a regular opponent rather than a one-off night — find one on MITRA and the maths starts working for you. Get MITRA on Google Play · Download on the App Store
The three that won’t quote you a full week
Eight of the eleven publish a full weekly rate, one publishes a single day’s, and two publish nothing. Hanniball is the partial case: its €5 Monday is on the homepage; every other day, the site says the list hangs up inside.
Poolparadies, Siegfriedstraße 81, Lichtenberg, is the strangest, because it is the joint-largest room here and publishes no price. Over 800 square metres, 20 nine-foot pool tables, 3 snooker tables and 8 dart machines, split between a non-smoking hall with 11 pool and 2 snooker and a smoking hall with 9 pool and 1 snooker. Open 16:00 to midnight Monday to Thursday, to 02:00 Friday and Saturday, 14:00 to 23:00 Sunday. Its own drinks card tells you to look the table prices up on its website; the website has none. The only figures anywhere sit in the page’s hidden metadata and are implausibly low against every other hall here, so we have not printed them — ring 030 95997476 and ask. The drinks card does confirm the rates are hourly and billed to the minute.
Two live details. Poolparadies is re-covering its pool tables, and its pages disagree on progress: the homepage says ten of twenty with five done, the news page says all three snooker tables and six pool tables. Ask for a fresh cloth. And it switches to a new reservation system on 16 September 2026; until then, weekend tables go by email up to the Wednesday of the same week, by phone after that.
Pool & Cigars, Schönhauser Allee 36, Prenzlauer Berg, publishes the least of anyone: one page in the Kulturbrauerei with an address, a phone number, and opening times of 17:00 Monday to Friday and 13:00 at weekends. No price, no table count, no closing time. It sits among plenty of our things to do alone in Berlin — just call first.
How we chose these
These eleven are the pool halls in Berlin still running a working website in September 2026. That is the whole selection rule, and it is why the list is eleven rather than twenty: the trade has thinned. BillardTreff 65 in Wedding, formel 8 in Charlottenburg and Joe’s Pool Factory in Neukölln still surface in search but no longer have a site, and Billard Company in Treptow serves a page whose title reads, in German, “being deleted”.
We ranked by cheapest published hour because that is the number people search for, not by quality — we have not played every table. Bars with a table in the corner are not here: the tables are usually coin-operated seven-footers, and no bar publishes a rate you could put in a table.
Questions people actually ask
How much does an hour of pool cost in Berlin?
Between €5 and €16, depending on the hall, the day and the hour. The cheapest published rate of the eleven halls here is €5 at Hanniball in Tempelhof, Mondays only from 15:00. The cheapest on more than one day is €7.90 at Pool Position in Spandau. The highest is €16 at Bata Alexanderplatz on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Do Berlin pool halls charge per table or per person?
Almost none of them say. Only Billard House states it outright, on its own English price page: prices are per device, no matter how many persons play. Five more call the rate table rent without spelling that out — Köh, Hanniball, both Bata rooms and Poolparadies — and the other five say nothing either way, so ask at the counter before you start.
Which pool hall in Berlin is open latest?
Billard House in Friedrichshain never closes at all — 24 hours, every day. Bata Alexanderplatz may be next, but treat it as unconfirmed: its venue page gives 04:00 on Friday and Saturday in the hours table and 05:00 in the prose below. Of the halls with one consistent time, Pool Position runs to 03:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.
Do you need to book a pool table in Berlin?
In the early evening, yes. Five of the eleven halls publish a booking cut-off and all five fall between 17:00 and 20:00. Köh books only a 17:00 to 20:00 start, then runs a waiting list. Billardaire takes reservations only up to 20:00. Pool Position takes no weekend booking after a 17:00 start. Bata’s latest reservable start is 19:00, and at Alexanderplatz it reserves nothing at all on Friday and Saturday nights.
Which Berlin halls have snooker tables?
Six of the eleven publish snooker tables. PVIEW in Steglitz has four; Pool Position, Poolparadies, Billardaire and Billard House have three each; and pool-inn prices snooker at the same rate as pool without publishing a count. Hanniball posted a note in August 2026 saying it can no longer offer snooker, and neither Bata room has it. Köh and Pool & Cigars publish no table breakdown either way. The cheapest published snooker hour here is pool-inn’s €8.
Is there a cheap day for pool in Berlin?
Monday. Four halls name it as their cheap day and no hall makes it their dearest. Hanniball charges €5 an hour from 15:00 on its Spartag. Pool Position calls Monday Happy-Spieltag and applies its €7.90 Spartarif all day. Billard House makes Monday and Wednesday Billard Tag. pool-inn charges €8 on Mondays and Sundays against €14 on Fridays and Saturdays.
Can you play pool alone in Berlin?
You can. Nothing in any hall’s published rules requires a second player, and where the rate is for the table rather than the seat you pay the same alone. Only Billard House states that in writing, so at the other ten ask before you start — but where it is priced per table, the second cue costs nothing.

One last thing
Pool is one of the cheapest good evenings in Berlin that nobody thinks of. Ninety minutes on one table: at Pool Position on a Monday that is under twelve euros, at Hanniball seven fifty. It is warm, it runs late, and it gives two people who barely know each other something to do with their hands and a reason to keep talking. That last part is the whole point, and the only thing between you and it is the second cue.
You have the hall, the hour and the price. Now you need one other person. MITRA is for exactly that — post the plan, someone claims it, you play. Berlin first, other EU cities on the roadmap. Get MITRA on Google Play · Download on the App Store
