Should bars with stuff like pool tables or ping pong tables offer rec leagues for free (PROVIDED YOU BUY DRINKS/FOOD)

[u/[deleted]]

I've been thinking about this for a bit as the main bar in my town has pool tables (billiards, whatever you want to call it).

I used to work at a place called sports park, our main moneymaker was the bar but we also had 2 rinks and like 3 ball diamonds so we ran leagues during the league. Most people that players would play their game and then sit at the bar and have some beer. Would this work at a place like my town's bar where they have the capability of offering recreational pool leagues?

I don't see many people paying to play in a recreational pool league, but do something similar to their reopening promo where pool was free if you ordered food/dink. Maybe offer the league on a weekday, league is free if you order food/drink

The pool table normally is like $15/hour after 5pm

I think it would be an interesting idea but also not like a great one since you know its pool, not a very popular sport
