If you’ve been searching for a pool bar in Singapore or typed “where to play pool Singapore” or “8 ball pool near me” into Google, chances are Tigress has come up. But once you’re a regular at a bar with a pool table, the question tends to shift: Is it worth becoming a member? This guide breaks down what a Tigress Club Membership includes, what it costs, and how to work out if it makes sense for the way you actually play. No brochure language, just the details.
What does a Tigress club membership include?
A Tigress Club Membership costs $88 a month and includes $50 in monthly credit towards your bill, 15% off your total personal bill for food, drinks, and pool table fees, a daily table-fee waiver from 12–3pm, waived surcharges on premium tables, member-only table reservations, a private cue locker, and access to Billizone for tracking your games.
1. What a Tigress Club Membership Includes
Tigress is a premium billiards club with seven tournament-sized Rasson pool tables, and membership is designed to give regular players more benefits and added convenience compared with paying as a walk-in each time. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Table Access and Booking Priority
Members have access to table reservations, while reservations are subject to availability and private venue book-outs. Members have the option to book in advance: reservations are allowed for members only, so you can book ahead rather than hoping a table’s free when you arrive. However, reservations are still subject to table availability. Members also get a daily table-fee waiver from 12pm to 3pm, so members can enjoy free table time during this midday window. If things get busy during that window, members may be asked to share tables.
Member Pricing and Rates
Membership runs at $88 nett per month, auto-renewed and charged on the 1st via a card kept on file through Stripe. Once that charge processes, it’s non-refundable, so it’s worth timing any cancellation with that in mind (more on that below).
For your $88, you get $50 in monthly credit to put towards your Tigress bill, though this doesn’t roll over if unused, and it’s tied to the currently published membership plan (referred to on the site as Tier 1). On top of the credit, members get 15% off their total personal bill, covering both F&B and pool table fees.
There’s also a smaller but useful perk: the usual $5 surcharge for using the premium Rasson tables is waived for members, though the availability of those tables still isn’t guaranteed.
Additional Perks
Beyond the pricing, membership includes a private cue locker, so you’re not lugging your gear back and forth if you play often. If you’re at the stage of thinking about your own cue rather than a house one, Tigress also runs a pre-owned cue corner worth a browse.
The other notable perk is Billizone, an online pool account that lets members record their games, access and download videos, save SuperShots, track their skill level, and see how they rank among other Tigress members.
2. Is a Tigress Membership Worth It for You
This isn’t a ‘yes, join now’ recommendation; it genuinely depends on how often you’d use the membership.
If You Visit Regularly
If you’re already playing at Tigress regularly, membership may offer better value through the $50 monthly credit, 15% discount, and free table time during the midday window. The value will depend on how often you visit and how much you spend. The ability to reserve tables in advance can also add value for regular players.
If You’re an Occasional Visitor
If Tigress is more of an occasional night out, a few times a year rather than a few times a month, it’s entirely reasonable that membership won’t make sense yet, and that’s a perfectly valid choice, not something you need to be talked out of. For occasional visitors, paying as a walk-in may be more suitable, and you can always join later if your playing habits change.
3. How to Join and What to Ask First
Joining starts with the sign-up form linked from the membership page itself. Before you commit, it’s worth getting clear on a few practical points:
- Cancellation terms — you’ll need to give notice in writing (message, WhatsApp, or email) at least 7 days before the next billing month. Once the fee has been processed on the 1st, it isn’t refundable.
- Pausing membership — this isn’t guaranteed. If the club is full and there’s a waiting list, Tigress won’t hold your slot on pause; you’d need to cancel and rejoin later, with availability depending on whether a waitlist exists at the time.
- Transferring membership — possible on request if there isn’t currently a waiting list for new members.
- Waitlists — because table numbers are limited, active membership slots are capped, and new sign-ups may be placed on a waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you’d rather read about how the club came together and what it’s aiming to be, that side of the story is covered in A New Era of Billiards: Tigress’ Premium Club Redefines Excellence in Singapore. This guide is deliberately the practical companion to that piece. For anything not covered here, the Tigress FAQ is worth a look, or you can get in touch directly with questions before signing up.
