I think general bar rules are pretty standard. Then some bars have specific house rules, and some people have dumb rules. It is pretty stupid, but it's the way it is.

In WV, we played that no matter what balls or how many you sank, it was still open until you complete after the break. So if you sink three solids on the break, it's still open. If you miss a follow-up shot, your opponent could steal your solids. It's a terrible rule.
