Bar with a full-size pool table in Manhattan?

Do you know of a bar with a full-size pool table in Manhattan?

Looking for bars, not clubs or pool halls. "Full-size" means at least 4' x 8'. I can only think of the library at the Hudson, and Superfine out in DUMBO. Thanks...

Best answer: Mickey's in the East Village has (I believe) a full-size table.

Hm, in the same vein, I think the Boiler Room has one too.

Response by poster: Man, you gay guys have all the fun. Mickey's sounds like a good dive, and it's near my neighborhood. Keep them coming, though, please - I'm hoping there's a classier joint. Superfine would be perfect if it were downtown...

It's been a while since I've been in there, but doesn't the Cherry Tavern have one?

(uh, scratch that, if you were looking for a classy joint...the Cherry certainly doesn't qualify.)

hate to give it up, but since i don't live in nyc anymore: westside tavern on 23rd and 9th.

I think Flight on 93rd and 3rd has a pretty sizable pool table, but it's not classy. Slate, a pool hall-cum-bar and lounge on 21st and 6th, is about as nice as they get, and not a typical pool hall at all.
