| I don't mean the ubiquitous Korean 당구장, but a real Western style pool hall that serves alcohol and has at least ten tables. |

I've been in a handful of pool halls with 10 or tables, but I don't think I've ever been in one that served alcohol. That said any time I've brought alcohol into a pool hall in Korea nothing has been said.
So I guess the answer to your question is, probably not. |

Color of Money in Ilsan. It's in LaFesta. All the tables are pocket ball and they serve alcohol. They also have a burger joint attached to it.
Also in LaFesta is a place called 4 Color (if its still there haven't checked) and they serve alcohol. |

There is a great pool hall near Shilim station called popopo billiards. Here's a link.

It's straight out of exit 2 on the left.
I used to go there regularly, but live a bit far away now so rarely go. The people are really nice and the players are at a high level. I believe that on Saturdays you can play as much as you want for 10,000W a person. They also have tournaments ever 2nd and 4th month I believe. The problem is that they don't speak a lot of English, but usually they can find somebody to translate if needed. They have about 10 tables I believe and have some beer in the fridge u can buy.
Do any of you know of real pool halls to play in or around Gangnam, or more specifically Daechi-dong or Samsung? |

| Why don't you say where you live? It'd help narrow it down. |

Since drinking until you vomit is so common here, most pool halls that I frequent do not allow any alcohol. The cost of replacing the felt from puke and replacing broken cues would outweigh the profits from alcohol sales. |
