Appropriately named, the Hideaway Pub is nearly impossible to find if you don't know exactly where you are going. Situated behind the Best Western on Fresh Pond Parkway with access via the Fresh Pond Mall parking lot, the Hideaway is a pool player's paradise. Eighteen tables on two floors mean you rarely have to wait for a game.

With wood-paneled walls and no windows, the bar and pool area feels like a finished basement. A great place to shoot pool for the fun of it, without the frills of a billiard club, the Hideaway attracts more amateurs than the pool-cue-in-the-
violin-case players (by the way, the cues here are reasonably straight). The tables are smaller than regulation, salvation for players who prefer shorter distances on their shots. Women's night is upstairs on Thursday and Sunday.

If pool isn't your game, play darts or watch sports at the bar.
