I love it that when I have a half hour or hour to kill, Cafe Rack has plenty of pool tables and a well-lit space for me to use. I can go there alone or with a friend, and don't need to order anything to eat or drink unless I want to. Parking is not plentiful, though.
They’re currently short staffed. Hope that part gets better.
It's quite loud with generic 90s music, and the tables are missing almost all the equipment. Be sure you look at the table you want because some are pristine and others are very soiled. It's what I would call reasonably priced, if you can find parking
