    pool table
    Julie W.

    Super good! When you go in, go to the bar to set up your tab and get the balls. Great price and good atmosphere, younger people are welcome too! It's $15 per table for an hour which is super nice so 6 of us took 1 table for 2 hours for $30. The place and the pool tables were clean and well cared for and we had a great time with a bunch of us beginners.

    Belated Christmas Party!! Drinks, Food, Pool Tables!!

    Great place to hang out! Good music, nice atmosphere! Everyone super nice and friendly!

    We get there when it first opens and get our pick of tables.

    Great place - I wish I'd found it years ago. We go regularly now. Lots of tables, attentive staff, friendly crowd. Cold beer, good bar and clean. If you want to meet friends and shoot some pool, definitely recommend.

    Awesome people. Great hang out if you want to shoot pool. Love the joint as everyone seem family friendly naturally

    four free hours of pool on us

    Went last night with roughly myself and eight other friends, had one table, played some darts, stayed there for about six hours. Shortly after most of my friends arrived, I asked how renting the tables worked as I'd never been there and was given the number for my tab and a set of balls, no issue. I showed the man four of these cards which were given to my friend during his last visit because of this situation, in his words: "I obtained these cards because the billiards cafe lost my debit card. I was confused when later on that night, I received a notification from my bank about a declined transaction. I thought it was weird but didn't have time to go back up the bar to check on what had happened. When I went to go close my tab, I learned that my debit card was given to another customer and I was given these four "Free Pool for an Hour" cards as an apology for them losing my debit card." I showed the man, I believe his name was John, these four cards when I first got the pool balls and asked if I was supposed to give them to him now or later. He said, "Yeah you can give me those when you guys are done." I figured that makes sense in case we played less than four hours. Lo and behold I go up to the guy to close my tab after playing for nearly six hours, and he berates me and tells me that I should've told him sooner and that he would only try to use two of the cards. He then told me that his system would not allow him to use more than ONE of the cards. Do you really expect my friend to go back on four separate occasions and only use one of these cards per time? If I closed my tab after an hour, used one of these cards, and opened a new tab, could I use more than one card? I'm assuming he was a manager or even the owner of the place due to his demeanor, and I'm sure he has the power to override something like that. With the 20% gratuity that they insist you pay on the back of their menu (never normally have an issue with that), I lost about $55. Overall shady business practices and won't be going back. Owner's response: Hello I am sorry that you had such a terrible time lastnight that we recieved a 1 star review. John is not the manager or the owner, he is one of our newest bartenders and he did what he is trained to do. The conouter system does not allow more than 1 of the free hour cards used per transaction. Usually they are given out as a thank you to a customer or to new people when leaving for their next visit. I remember your friend and I remember giving him those cards when him and another customers cards got switched and he was more than understanding and very respectful about the situation. When I give them out it's usually only 1 but if it is more than 1 I let the customer know you can only use one per night. So before you berate our buisness and employees maybe consider that they were doing their job right and maybe there was a little miscommunication between your friend that gave them to you and yourself. I'm sorry you feel that way and won't be back over this situation. Have a good day sir! My response to the owner: I did not berate your employees, your employee berated me. My frustration is indeed with your business, not your employees. I shared your disrespectful, unprofessional response to my friend and he said with absolute certainty that he was NOT informed that he could only use one card a night. If that was the case, don't you think he would have told me as much? I also want to make it very clear that I was using these cards WITH my friend and that I started the tab because I was the first to arrive. Despite his "respectful and understanding" response to the original situation, we both feel the exact same about this situation, especially considering you did NOT tell him about the one-card-per-night policy and it's written nowhere on the cards. If your employee was trained properly, he would have told me that you can only use one card per tab/night when I showed him the four cards at the beginning of the night. But he didn't, and so he was not trained properly - that's on you. The right thing would be to refund me the difference, and be more clear with how the cards can be used for future customers, but you didn't do that. Judging by this response and the drivel written on the back of your menu, you don't care about your customers at all, and that's a shame.

    Great place for casual or intense players. Especially great if you are just hanging out with a group of friends.

    Every once in a while, you come across a particular pool hall complete with a full bar that ends up…read moreholding a special place in your heart. A place where you can just shoot pool for hours, eat above average bar food, and chill. When we lived in El Paso, Clicks Billiards was that place. We weren't sure we'd ever find a place like that again after moving. Then....we found Maxamillians Billiards. And if first impressions mean anything, I believe we've just discovered our new favorite watering hole. One thing I did not expect a pool hall to serve was brick oven pizza. Right off the bat, that's a bonus star in my book! Oh, for those wondering, the pizza was excellent, btw! A thin crust perfectly toasted accompanied by a slightly sweet (but not too sweet) sauce which compliments the cheese brilliantly! Sharing some properties of traditional NY style pizza, I'd certainly give this one a 10 out of 10. The buffalo wings weren't too shabby either. Tangy sauce with just enough kick to be not too spicy. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with these ones; 10 out of 10, would recommend. Now then....when it comes to service, it's surprisingly good. For the most part. We *did* have a slight hiccup in the beginning when I ordered a Cab and the lady brings back what appears to be a Chardonnay. How in the hell you confuse Cabernet for Chardonnay, I'll never know. But I don't hold it against her entirely. Because, believe it or not, this isn't the first place to have done that to me. It's just that I'll never, EVER understand how anyone confuses the two. And I definitely spoke loud enough for her to hear me. Other than that though, service was great. I do wish she had came by a little more often so that I could reorder drinks. But to be honest, it seems as though the servers here are slightly overwhelmed. See, I believe there were maybe 3 attendants for the entire series of pool tables running that evening. You also have to keep in mind this place has a full bar to boot. As in...one you'd expect to see at a regular restaurant. In other words, these servers definitely have their work cut out for them. So naturally, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and exuded a zen-like patience. Plus, she was wicked sweet. So, we gave her a generous tip. Speaking of which, there's also an onsite ATM in the front by the entrance for anyone in need of cash. And a lotto machine to boot. How New England of them. XD For those wondering, this pool hall does have a private parking lot. I know that can be a concern for some when visiting Mass establishments. Though that tends to mostly depend on the city you're visiting. Though wifey and I will always miss Clicks Billiards back in El Paso, Maxamillians Billiards is a more than suitable replacement for us. And I am giving them 5 crispy cheese pizzas baked to perfection in a brick oven out of 5.
