Profile
Any true pool aficionado knows that finding a good spot to play in the city is nearly impossible. Long waits and obnoxious patrons make it more trouble than it's worth. But most nights—even on weekends—find downtown dive Antarctica gloriously un-packed, with just a few people lingering around the jukebox and lots of blessed breathing room by the pool table. House rules are strict—all the better for weeding out the riffraff. But if the name on your ID matches the name of the day on Name Night, your drinks are on the house. Rack 'em up.
Name NightMon.—Fri., 5 p.m.—11 p.m. and Sat., 7 p.m.—1 a.m.; the name on your ID matches the name of the day, your drinks are on the house
