Never believe those people and wait in the line. Told us wait 20 minutes, we waited more than a hour

After 1 hour waiting they said another 25 minutes

The place is decent for a hangout and billiards. However their reservation system does not make sense. The whole point of a reservation time is to reserve a table for that time. Why make a reservation for a time and then be told “you’re on the top of the list” and then make the customer wait 45min to an hour. Btw they had told us the wait was only gonna be 15-20 min and every time we came back to ask how much longer they kept adding 15 min.

Nice place to chill out at. The food could be better. Clean and well kept definitely a low key gem.

We went with six people have some fun, enjoy some drinks and some fast food. Our server Addison made me felt as if he didn’t like us, perhaps bc we are Latinos. He took our order abruptly and when we asked why our order was taking too long he replied rude, “i will get it when it’s ready”. My husband didn’t react bc he was dealing with our food. Lastly, i went to the manager to tell him, Didn’t seem too upset and just said I’m sorry, And the end of the day I chose to spend my bd at this billard and i definitely regret it. Addision was extremely condescending and arrogant. Not welcoming or professional. I will never return nor do i recommend this place.Bye Society billiards ?

Overall pretty fun place. When I closed out my tab I saw that the bartender had put someone else’s drinks on it. It took some convincing for the manager to make it right. When he finally did he added a 20% tip onto the bill which was kind of annoying. Otherwise we had a great time!

Save your money and take it somewhere else. I went in with a group of 6 people and we got charged $246 dollars for one hour. We had a couple of drinks but for a shot to cost around 16 dollars when it's green tea with a splash of liquor is outrageous. We ordered all our drinks at the bar, so we didn't receive any service but still wanted to leave a 42 tip. The guy helping my friend out tried to get an extra $10 by lying to my drunk friend about the total charge after she wanted to include a 42 tip. We plaid a total of 288.22 cents for ONE HOUR. Never again. The drinks are so not worth the money, and neither is the service.

Absolutely terrible place.Came in with a party of 9 and was told that if we don’t close the tab within hour we’ll be charged next hour. Fair.After 40min we decided to give the balls back and close the tab.We’re told by a lady that she saw 13 people at the table and that’s what she’ll charge us. We argued that it’s only 9 so she settled for 9. Right after she comes by the table and tells us that we have to leave while we paid for a whole hour (we still had 20min to stay in the seats).We refused and eventually the bouncer comes by to kick us out.While leaving we wanted to close our tab at the bar where we learnt that they lost our credit card.Beautiful place but we paid $150 for 40 min of pooling and were treated like trash.Would never bring a party to this place again. Shame.

Excellent cocktails, professionally maintained tables, and responsive service make this one of the better places to shoot pool. Great for groups, or if you’re looking for a little practice on your own.

I took a star away because it's expensive.You can't visit regularly.I'd like to visit again, but it is definitely not budget activity friendly.The bar tender seemed stressed or annoyed.The female bathroom was dirty and unstocked.

Came in to Society to play some pool with a few buddies. We were told it would about a 30min wait, which wasn't an issue for us. We had a few drinks while we waited. When it was our time we walked to the back and got to our table. The table and pool cues were good and we were happy to play 4 games or so. Overall it was a nice environment and glad we got to play some pool in the city while not being charged a ridiculous price.

Place was decent, legit. The drinks were good. I got the 50/50 margarita shown in the picture. It was crowded ish. All tables are very close to each other as you can see, you’re bound to bump with the other table … music was decent but definitely out of date. Our server was cool and chill. We got our first and second drink under 15min. Overall it was alright for my first time going to a billiard with friends. Only con is that in the beginning I saw that the servers weren’t on the same page, 3 had to ask our friend if they had their card for the tab and they did… so yeah they are a little unorganized and just need to get it together and communicate within themselves.

Arrived here around 1AM looking for a restroom and to buy drinks to compensate for their services. My girlfriend did not feel safe here. She felt pressured to order more than she was comfortable with. I would not recommend for any marginalized group.
