It's exactly what I want in a pool hall! Nothing fancy. Great juke box. Friendly people.

South Austin classic... Been going for 10+ years when I visit town.

Great prices for pool and drinks

Usually when we go it's quite. They do have in house leagues and tournaments so it can get busy in the evenings. Lots of tables, not the cleanest or in the best shape but certainly not the worst around and you can play a decent game of billiards on them.

Absolutely unacceptable behavior from staff â discriminatory and humiliating experience. Iâm deeply disappointed and disturbed by what happened to my friend at this bar. He doesnât speak English very well, and during a recent visit, the bartender was incredibly rude to him simply because she felt he didnât tip her enough. She outright refused to serve him a beer. Trying to make peace, he apologized and left her a $35 tip for one drink, which is way above standard.
But instead of moving on, the bartender humiliated him by pulling out receipts from previous visits in front of everyone to accuse him of not tipping âenoughâ in the past. It was completely unnecessary and disrespectful.
When we came back another time, the situation escalated further. The security guard accused my friend of calling the bartender a B word in Russian, a language he doesnât even speak (heâs not Russian at all). They told us the bartender didnât want him there anymore. Instead of being upfront and saying they didnât want to serve him due to tipping preferences (which, as a private business, theyâre allowed to do), they made up a false accusation and clearly racially profiled and discriminated against him.
This wasnât just bad serviceâit was targeted, racially motivated humiliation. If you or someone you care about is from a diverse background, think twice before coming here. The staff was rude, dishonest, and discriminatory. We are seriously considering legal action, because no one should have to experience this kind of treatment.

Love this place! Admittedly, they get points for convenience, as they're just down the street from me, but even when they weren't we drove out of our way to visit. You never need to order a double shot, as the bartenders pour well, there's always (GOOD!) Karaoke, and the atmosphere is juuuuuuust the right amount of trashy. Wearing my super short skirts and barely-there tops, no one bats an eye, and i always feel at home. There are 10+ tables with decent felt and not-chipped balls, well-lit where it counts, tuesdays are free, and theres also a night ladies play free, although i can't remember when. Also tournaments, but even when they hold them they dont use *ALL* of the tables, so us regular joe shmose can still play too. 10/10 would recommend. Bonus points for entertaining bathroom graffiti!
Edit: Still going here, a year later! Ladies nights Saturdays, league night thurs, free day is Tuesday. Im bummed they painted over the bathroom graffiti... but im guessing it'll find its way back, lol

Original Manchaca. A not-so-hole-in-the-wall-anymore bar that offers ~15 pool tables, karaoke nights, friendly staff and clean enough facilities, and the prices are far better than any awful trendy 6th street joint. Glad they've stuck it out longer than most places down South of town.

Huge selection of beers and liquor, 10 billiards tables. Plenty of free parking.

Very casual atmosphere and a good crowd for a Tuesday night. There are plenty of pool tables and a tabletop version of shuffleboard, which was a lot of fun. Great place to relax, visit with friends and have fun!
