Where to play foosball on Long Island
Bruce Gilbert
John Back's eyes dart left to right, following the bright red ball on the green foosball field. He leans forward, pulling and turning handles aligning his "men" -- soccer figures standing rigid on long metal rods. The backroom of The Pool House in Bellmore, where competitive foosballers play every Sunday, is silent -- save for the whack of the ball and '90s pop tunes drifting in from a nearby jukebox. This isn't your average bar game. "It's a lot like chess in a lot of ways," says Back, of Hicksville, who started such gatherings about eight years ago. "It's constantly a cat-and-mouse thinking game."
