Thinking about getting one but not sure if I should get a mini one or a full size professional size. I have the room for either. Dont bars mostly have the smaller ones? Seems like you only see the big full size ones in pool halls.

We had a pool table for years. It was full size and wonderful. If you play in pool halls much, get whatever size they use. Otherwise, get something with a high Wife Acceptance Factor, quality slate and good felt. And don't let your friends sit on the rails.

You'll use it if it's in a commonly used space. Ours was in the garage where everybody hung out anyway. If you gotta TV in the same room so your mates can come play & watch a game, much higher likelihood of continued use.
