We LOVE this place. My partner and I live around the corner and this is our favorite spot to go to anytime we wanna go out. The place is well maintained, the tables and cues and good quality, and the staff is SO friendly and attentive. Loyal customers here!

Neat place, tables are new and clean, enough space between tables. There is a free parking lot adjacent. Food is alright, drinks are standard. AC is BLASTED to antarctic winter. The male bartender doesn’t care if you live or die.

I didn’t realize the area had such an affinity for billiards! There are many tables here but they fill up quickly! They have everything you need to play, just bring your friends or team! The rates are a little bit high for the hour ($20 outside of happy hour) but it’s a great atmosphere of people who are there to compete and there to have fun. Very accessible by the bus!
