I travel about an 1 &1/2 to visit a friend here and It never disappoints me. Pool Tables are perfect, drinks good, music bringing the vibes and service is great. I love it here and recommend everyone to check it out. It has 2 billiard tables and some arcade games out and indoor seating and even triva night! I can't wait to go back.
