Pretty good place to shoot pool at, especially on a weekend night. Last Sat nite was crowded (which is good, because I like to socialize with lots of people, on weekends), and was very inexpensive to shoot, there (3 tables in action, and only 5 quarters a game). Much less costly than a standard pool hall, and I don't mind all of the young, rowdy, impaired ones wandering around (and getting wiped out by me, in game after game, either!) Mostly everybody there was friendly, including the bar-keeps, and I even brought my "main squeeze" with me, last Sat nite--and she was impressed with what a "happening place" it was, in Somerville, nowadays. I also shoot regularly at the Royal, and the Northside, but sometimes there aren't enough other shooters, at the Royal, and the Northside sometimes has a live band, and closes their only pool table (which doesn't work for me, at all!) I don't mind hard core and death metal, but when I come to such a raucous place, I want to shoot pool, or get bored quickly, just listening to music. Besides, it's hard to socialize with chicks, with all of that loud music playing (because they can't hear you, when you try to talk to them)--but everyone is interested in a good game of pool, win, lose, or draw--and nobody gives me any grief with a pool cue stick in my hands, while knocking around those rock hard balls, on the table--and I even enjoyed a quick game of air hockey, with my "main squeeze", too! So, if you like shooting, like me, then come down to the "Hotel", brush aside some of the crowd, and win a few games! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Gave this place 3 tries and was treated like trash every time. My husband got a pen thrown at him by the bartender just for kindly asking for a new one since the one she gave didn't work. The second visit he gave the bartender $40 for two 6-packs and she somehow hid a $20 in her sleeve and refused to sell the beers if he didn't give her more money. We were nice enough to just give her more instead of just losing the $20. Apparently she needs it more than us... Third and final visit was when we were smart enough not to give her cash but she rejected the card since she wanted it to have a chip. A card that has been used in much better places than this one. Once again gave her what she wanted and decided to never come back again. Bad employees definitely ruin a place that is close to our new home and could have been a nice spot to relax.

It's a gastro pub. 3 pool tables. Leagues happen on Fridays and Saturdays mostly. Nice buzzing place with good crown. Bar ladies are fast and efficient. Perfect place to hangout anytime of the day.

Cheap drinks and are open late. All you can ask for with a local bar.
Lance Young
Great spacious bar with not only 1 pool table, but 3! Good service during the week, a little slower on weekends (as expected). Overall experience was great.

Great atmosphere, great place to get cheap drinks with friends. They have multiple pool tables and an air-hockey table
Owen Busler
Cheap drinks, 3 pool tables, air hockey, and app controlled (touch tunes) music. Very chill late night bar.
Great old time shot and a beer joint w/pool tables

I went to this establishment and was treated terribly, the bartender was reluctant serve me a drink because "She did not know me", and made rude comments throughout the entire transaction. It would seem that people of color are not welcome in this establishment. I will never go to this place again.

My boyfriend went to this establishment tonight and was treated terribly. The bartender would not open a tab for him, would not serve him the drink that he wanted, and made rude comments throughout the entire transaction. It would seem that people of color are not welcome in this establishment. We will never go to this place again.

Definitely your typical watering hole. Diverse crowd, good bartenders, reasonably priced and every bar staple with pool tables.

1st Bartender was rude and told me to “go down the street for anything with more than 2 ingredients” after i asked for an old fashioned. And then proceeded to make me feel bad for ordering a whisky that they charged more for rather than a lower quality one. Thank god the second bartender was nice and actually helped me with my drink. Is it really that hard to mix two cherries and an orange slice with whiskey?
Crazy for the St Patrick's Day parade. Fun as
