For the past 20 years, Hawaiian Brian's Billiards has been the place for serious pool players–39 championship tables, weekly tournaments, late-night hours and a pro shop where customers can pick up cue sticks, balls, sportswear, even tables. Players can fuel up at the snack bar (the menu includes sandwiches, burgers, saimin and chili) or take a break at its extensive arcade. Over the past year, Brian's has gotten even better, thanks to family-friendly improvements, such as banning smoking, offering discounts for families with kids under 14, starting an afterschool program for teens and hosting parties and fund raisers. "What we're trying to do is create a family entertainment center, rather than just a pool hall," says Violet Anderson, who co-owns Brian's with her husband, Glenn, and the business's namesake, "Hawaiian" Brian Hashimoto.
