Seems like a cool place to hang out, unfortunately I was deeply disappointed. First time in and I couldn’t play pool because I am under 21? Even though the sign on the door says no ID required for entry? Just super disappointed that at 20 I can’t even go out at night with friends to a place I assumed was allowed. My boyfriend is 21 and I was not planning on drinking, I do wish if it’s going to be 21+ that it should be advertised. Not trying to come across as rude just would like to inform others they do require Id!

Great venue and staff. Great food, fun place!
I arrived with a group of 8! Perhaps, that was too much.
Bartender was very unfriendly!
Went and used the restroom. As I turned the corner a sewer/septic smell smacked me in the face.
I noticed in the floor stall that the drain was overflowing.
Between the smell and what seemed to be the unfriendly server it was time to go elsewhere.
We all agreed it was best we found a new establishment to hang out!
Establishment needs major help!

Good place for happy hour. No kitchen but the bartenders somehow make the most delicious burgers with fresh ingredients. Great value.

Had high expectations for this place we were enjoying a fun pool session with friends and accidentally dropped a cue while placing back in its spot and we were immediately kicked out in a very rude manner. I understand that the equipment is high maintenance but the way it was handled left a sour taste in my mouth. Treat your paying customers with a little more respect is all I’m asking. If you want to be treated like garbage this is your place to come! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone trying to enjoy a fun afternoon.
Confusing and Odd Rules
I’ve been to this place before and genuinely enjoyed it. The atmosphere was fun, and the food was good, but I do have some criticism and, ideas?
The rule requiring 18 to 20 year olds to be accompanied by an individual over the age of 21 seems unnecessary. Pool and alcohol have no connection, and legal adults between 18-20 are more than capable of responsibly navigating the space on their own. Requiring supervision does not reduce any real risk and feels arbitrary.
Places like Buffalo Wild Wings have bars visible in the restaurant, yet guests of all ages can be present safely. Pockets could operate similarly: 18 to 20 year olds could play freely, while minors remain under supervision until its 8:30 and time to wrap up.
You can definetly argue that this rule protects against liability or insurance issues, but 18 to 20 year olds are legal adults capable of following rules. And if rules and standards aren't being met, thats when staff should remove them, as they would with anybody else that causes problems. If the environment were genuinely dangerous for those under 21, then no one under 21 should be allowed in. Allowing responsible 18 to 20 year olds to play pool unsupervised is totally reasonable.
I think an individuals intentions goes a long way. If an 18 year old with good intentions walks in hoping to play some pool, there shouldnt be an issue.
There is a lot of untapped potential for this place, but confusing age restrictions made it less enjoyable this time. Clear communication and consistent policies would go a long way. This spot has the opportunity to build a community of pool enthusiasts of all ages, which should be a priority, especially since it is one of the few local places that actually offers pool tables for people to enjoy.

The bartender accused me of dealing drugs cuz I was outback smoking waiting on a friend to play pool... I dont even drink alcohol. She screamed at me fairly profane things as well, this is the short, reddish brown haired bartender with tattoos on her left arm. I dont if this is the owner but I didnt break any laws there and never have i'm very pissed off about this as she was willing to say she got it on camera and I didnt have physical contact with anyone there. I hope shes not the owner and sees this and reviews the footage. I also have new job in health care and can most definitely prove im a sober individual who absolutely hates hard drugs as they killed my brother. I have never even tried a hard drug in my life!!!
