//The line

Time Out's dive bar guide notes that at Lucy's, 'pool gets competitive late,' signaling that table access tightens up as the night wears on and the crowd thickens.

The guide advises that 'if you want a casual game, show up earlier,' per Time Out, implying later hours bring a more contested, harder-to-access pool table scene rather than a formal door wait.
