Billiard room
Room with one or more billiard tables / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A billiard room (also billiards room, or more specifically pool room, snooker room) is a recreation room, such as in a house or recreation center, with a billiards, pool or snooker table (The term "billiard room" or "pool room" may also be used for a business providing public billiards tables; see billiard hall.).

The billiard room may be in the public center of the house or the private areas of the house.[1]
Billiard rooms require proper lighting and clearances for game playing.[2] Although there are adjustable cue sticks on the market, 1.5 m (5 ft) of clearance around the pool table is ideal.[2]
Interior designer Charlotte Moss believed that "a billiard room is synonymous with group dynamics. It's where you mix drinks and embark on a little friendly competition..."[3]
