If you are a poolplayer this is not the place for you. The rates are too high:
1 player = $9.00 /hr
2 players = $13.00 /hr
3 players = $15.00 /hr
I know of NO poolplayer that would pay these rates on a regular basis, and I have been playing for over 20 years.
The food is sub-standard, even for bar food.
The service is very slow.
The bathrooms are not well-kept, which is inexcusable for a place of this size and its prices.
The tables themselves are in very bad condition (stained, torn felt, bad rails etc.).
To be fair, the 27 tables are nicely spaced, which is always a plus.
Experience has taught me that when a place like this has a primary draw of bar money and sports-bar patrons, little is done to maintain the equipment. They are already making their money, and most of the people that play in these places can't spell pool, much less play it, so what do they care if the tables play poorly?
It is just another sports bar with pool tables that cares more about the money made from food/liquor than anything else.
I can only imagine what St. Patrick's Day would be like. Of course, I won't be there to find out. The place will make a ton of money from food and drink so more power to them. I am sure rent is sky-high in that location, so maybe they shouldn't invest thousands in making sure the tables are perfect when the average patron is going to rip the felt by trying to scoop the cue ball for a pathetic attempt at a jump shot!
That being said, since it is so close to my job, I would go back, but only to play with someone else who is in the area. I would not go here just to play pool.
