    According to owner:
    Libertines in Liberty Village
    The Academy of Spherical Arts is a local Liberty Village institution, and proudly occupies a large portion of what used to be a billiard table factory. Its name is more than an in-joke for lovers of the gentle art of billiards. In its early days it was, indeed, an Academy, “fostering excellence in billiards through teaching and friendly competition.”

    Relax and Shoot Some Pool
    The Academy consists of four distinct rooms: the Samuel May room, the John Brunswick Room, the Georges Chenier Room, and opened in 1999, the art nouveau-themed La Belle Epoque. Each room features carefully maintained antique billiards tables of various sizes and colours. Décor varies from room to room, but design coherence is maintained by certain common threads: high, beamed factory ceilings, warmly coloured walls, inviting leather couches and chairs, and antique hardwood floors.

    Dining at the Academy
    This establishment focuses on billiards and special events, and isn’t a restaurant in the conventional sense – although most days there is room to just show up and order a meal. Lunch consists mostly of soups, sandwiches, and salads. Conversely, dinnertime guests can partake of penne with chicken, Cajun catfish, or grilled lamb loin. A table d’hôte is available for special events.
