The oldest pool hall in the Kansas City, Raytown Recreation is a prized possession. Home of a rare and famous 10′ pocket billiards table named Big Bertha, The Rec is a family owned and operated relic whose history adorns its walls in photos and news clippings that span decades.

We hope all of our patrons have a satisfying week somehow. This will be the next pool table we are re-felting. Cloth has already been ordered. Should be here in a week's time. We've heard from a lot of players the Simonis cloth is best and thus we are getting more Simonis. Can't stop won't stop! We greatly appreciate our patrons for having patience with us.

We hope all of our patrons are having a fine weekend! Throwback Saturday!
Photographed here below is one of the two owners of Raytown Rec Douglas Brink. We were wondering whether someone had some insight about this particular picture! Was this photographed at Raytown Rec or another pool hall? How long ago was this picture?

We hope all our patrons had a great National Pool and Billiards Day! (For those who don't know, August 9th is the official day marking this holiday). We here at Raytown Rec wish to carry the spirit of National Pool and Billiards Day past August 9th. And we want to instill that same spirit into all of our patrons.

He's getting the hang of it! (Future owner Elijah Brink also once crawled on our pool tables!)
Just a reminder we are a family friendly establishment! Children and adolescents are allowed to play during the day, but at night, must be accompanied by a guardian.
