Jefferson Poolhall (Location Key)

The "pool room," as it's referred to in "Knight's Gambit," is one of the few places in Jefferson that stay open later at night (213). In that story it is located on the Square, probably near the Allnite Inn - the other place where the town's night marshal can be found in the wee hours. In Intruder in the Dust and The Mansion, where it's referred to as the "poolhall" (27, 203), it seems to be adjacent to the barbershop, and so closely connected to it in those two texts that we include the poolhall in the index entry for the Barbershop. Like the barbershop, the poolhall is a place where the town's single men often collect.
