    Ping pong tables
    Polly H.

    I went here for a birthday party around noon, and it was interesting being around all these pool tables and ping pong tables. The stuff is not brand new but still usable. There's even an arcade and small place to play foosball and other kid themed games. The other review about flying ping pongs is true, so if you are surrounded by beginners, it's bound to happen. On to the food. I think the chicken tenders & the fries were really good. The pizza was okay. Just not fancy, but it is a bar.

    I'm basically never in Queens, so I stopped by here after a Mets game with a group of about 10. The place itself is spacious. It has at least 15 pool tables, probably more! I don't play pool but my friends were enjoying playing. We ordered food and drinks. Prices are very reasonable. I had a white claw. I can't go wrong with that. My boyfriend had a casamigos passion fruit margarita. He enjoyed it. For food, we had plain wings with fries. It was good. The fries were nice and crispy. The service was excellent. A nice lady with short blonde hair was taking care of us. She was super attentive and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend this place if you're into billiards and want to grab some bar food and drinks. The prices are also very reasonable. We paid $240 and tip included for all the food and drinks we ordered. I'm not sure how much the games were, but I don't think it was too expensive at all.

    Awful Guiness pour.  Ordered 4 and they were each served like this.

    I've been here perhaps 20 times over the years for various pool events. It's okay, not great. But that aside the food and drinks are crazy overpriced. Don't quite understand it. I got chicken fingers for $11 and it came with 3 small chicken fingers cut in half lengthwise to make it look like 6 fingers. And the beer? We ordered 4 pints and this was how it was served - almost as if the bartender was carefully trained to stop pouring a full inch from the top of the glass. I've never seen that in a guiness.

    Overcharged for time ? extra beers ? or tip included? Great pool tables clean and well maintained. Jukebox plays 1 dollar 1 song worth it ? Nope i rather head to the city for the prices maybe will be back when im bored ....

    Found this place from a Google search and came with a friend for an hour or so to play pool. We got a table easily and just got charged per hour. The ping-pong tables were all occupied so we didn't play that but we had a good time playing pool. We didn't purchase any food or drinks, we just brought our own water. The place wasn't incredibly nice but it was fine and the bathrooms here were fine too. I would come back when I'm in town.

    It was easy to get a table. We spent about 3 hrs, 2 ppl between pool and air hockey plus 2 beers, bringing the total to $50 excluding tips. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall good experience, would visit again.

    These are their 'Nachos'.  It's a small plate of chips on a bed of leftover lettuce from their burgers. Condiment cup of salsa.
    Daniel H.

    Prices for activities were reasonably priced. I'm going to dock them stars for table service. By the time we finished our game, the food came out - we stayed until we finished the food. Don't get their nachos. Go across the street to the bowling alley.

    Ping pong tables

    This place has some ping pong tables, but they are a bit run down and bent towards the center. The nets are also a bit run down and without tension. The area for ping pong is kinda small. It's like 4-5 tables congregated next to each other with little space in between. You might get bothered by other table's loose balls. This place also has lots of billiard tables. They seem fine and better kept compared to the ping pong tables. This place also offers arcade games, bar, seating area, kitchen, and there are some tv screens around the room that might be showing some video clips. Free parking is offered to its customers. Overall, it's an ok place to come to hang out. But I've experienced better at other places...

    Terrible customer service dude that works the counter is a dick

    What we got: 1 Peak Hour Billiards ($36)…read more Aya's take: If you're interested in playing billiards in a private setting, Sharks is the place for you! There are 2 rooms at the Steinway location - Brick Room & Glow Room. We booked the Brick Room; I found that this room to be slightly more private compared to the Glow Room which is directly in the line of sight of the entrance. Speaking of the entrance, ~5 minutes before your reservation time, you will get a code to unlock the main entrance. I felt super secure knowing that anyone who was entering or exiting was actually supposed to be there. We were a group of 2 and the Brick Room was plenty of space for us. There was a spacious lounge area and included a bluetooth speaker, Apple TV, and mini fridge. It's also BYOB! I like that we were able to connect our own music and just vibe out while playing billiards for the 1 hour we booked. It was such a fun time and I would totally do it again. You also get 5 free replays so if you make an epic move, it'll automatically send a video to your email once you finish your session. Note that prices vary by time: $20 off peak, $36 otherwise. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely love this concept and this place!!! I also understand and respect your rules, but you…read moremake it impossible for shorties, like myself, to make shots if we can't sit on the table and there aren't any bridges. If you put a bridge in both rooms, I'll change this to 5 star!!

I paid 11 dollars for two cosmopolitans, not bad for the area. Plus they were STRONG and the bartender was quick and attentive. I would come again. I wish there were games there. I only saw the darts, maybe I missed it. It's pretty dark and dated like someone else mentioned. In any event, I would come again. Good spot to start the night out bar hopping.

    I've walked by this bar a couple of times now while visiting friends in the Astoria Ditmars area…read moreand have always been curious as to what its like inside. I love super shitty Irish dive bars. Love. L-o-v-e. I also like bougie but there's nothing like the fresh smell of musk, seeing a bunch of regulars that have been sitting there for way too long cradling their bud lites and pondering where their life is going to take them next. I had about 30 minutes to kill before heading to a baby shower down the street and was torn over whether I wanted to get a coffee somewhere or an alcoholic beverage. Given that I knew no one at this shower, I went with just a nice lite beer. They have an okay selection on tap and nothing remarkable but the traditionals and Singlecut and Fat Tire if you are feeling more exotic. What won my heart over really and truly though was their free party mix on the bar tops. Not that crumby kind - oh ho ho ho no. It's the kind with the cheetos, pretzels, doritos, and the little frito bits that have a kick to them. The best kind of party mix one can really have anywhere. My beer was about $6 but they have $3-4 specials probably at all wakes of the night/day. Curious if this is any way related to the O'Hanlon's on east 14th street in Manhattan but probably just a popular name.
