A coworker invited me to play pool during our break at work. This place is opens at 2pm and we came…read morein a couple minutes after they opened so it was fairly quiet and clean. I downloaded an app called "Ami Play" to add music to the cue. You do have to pay for credits to play songs. The bartender was welcoming and friendly. I do plan on coming back to play darts, the slots, and more pool! A nice midday break from work.

Didn't get far into the game when she came over to say the table was ready. Loved the atmosphere of this place; great crowd that was having fun, tables were in great shape, and the music was fire to enjoy a night of shooting pool with my son. We will definitely be coming here more often than the pool halls closer to our house (Pockets and Eddie's).

I just wanna quit." Where's my f****** manager?" Never got one drink And I'm sober as a whistle I'm in my work clothes I do not get any help and then when I bring it up to the manager, I'm sitting at the pool table with my friends and I get cut off just cause I over talk her. I've never gave An overcritical review, but this is just plain garbage. The manager would probably get this review deleted honestly Because she's bad at her job too I am sorry, but you can read and review the cameras all day poor management and I feel sorry for the employee that was actually working on the floor with the red shirt

There is also a reasonable amount of tvs across the room. The best part though is the tables and the players that come with it best in San Antonio from what I've seen.

Always full of energy and she really does love her job and it shows. The only drawback this place has in my opinion is the food and music.

DON'T go here! How…read moreit went for us...sort of a semi regular customer. Went there recently, parked up front then went in and had a few drinks, great Pizza and left after about an hour. On way to car found a ticket on windshield. Looks like you have to pay to park at the place you're going to spend money at. This isn't a Spurs game, it's a bar. Told bartender about it, said owners of property they rent from started it in October of 2025. That's not accurate. I was there Oct 31st last year and pay to park wasn't going on. High turnover for bartenders there, so he was just telling me what he was told. There's a QR code on wall, but I wasn't looking for it. Warn your customers, somehow. That guy certainly didn't.

This review is for other bands that might be thinking about playing at this venue…read more Directions: Finding the place from San Antonio is not difficult. Directions on the web appear to be accurate. When looking it up online, make sure you use the current address, 715 Main Street. Otherwise, you may get the old address, 702 TX-16. Simply take Route 16N to Bandera. When 16N meets Main St. in Bandera, turn right and go about five blocks. The venue isn't marked so you'll have to look for it by address, which is 715 Main St. That will be on the left side of the road. It's actually in the Best Western Motel. Load-In: We love this venue and the crowd is excellent. However, load-in ranks among the more difficult clubs. There are no tandem parking spots, so if you have a truck and trailer, you'll have to park horizontally across multiple parking spaces. If you're lucky, there will be sufficient empty spaces to allow you to park directly in front of the entrance. If not, you'll have to park along one of the side streets like Oak Street. You'll want to have some sort of cart to move your gear because there's a long switch-back ramp leading from the street to the entrance. If you are fortunate enough to get to park directly in front of the club, you will have to move your vehicle before you start the gig. We parked at the end of Oak Street on the left side. Note that there is parking behind the motel, but none of it is tandem. Stage: The stage is about six inches high and is about 8 feet deep and perhaps 12 feet wide. For some unfathomable reason, about a third of the stage on stage left has been sacrificed for a ramp leading from the floor to the stage level. Why you would need a ramp for a six-inch high stage escapes me. I'd much rather have the additional stage real estate than a useless ramp. But in spite of the tiny stage we managed to get the drums, the PA racks, the bassist and the guitar player on the stage. The PA stacks and monitors we set on the floor in front of the stage. I imagine any band with more than three pieces would have some difficulty fitting on the stage. Lighting: The venue does have a few stage lights. These will probably give you enough illumination at night to see what you're doing, but I suspect you'll want to use your own lights since you have no control over the venue's lights and they're not very atmospheric. Sound System: The club does have two small speakers suspended from the ceiling above the stage. Not sure if these are plugged into some sort of PA system, but we used our own PA since the ceiling speakers are much too small for a classic rock band. They would be fine for a single or duo acoustic act. Acoustics are about average. We noticed no serious echo or feedback issues. There were no problematic resonances. Layout: This is a very small venue and the band faces directly toward the bar, which is placed against the opposite wall, so you will want to watch your volume. The room is essentially a rectangle. Volume: We were able to bring our volume up to what we considered a comfortable level for a classic rock band with no issues. Comfort: The room has good air conditioning but the venue likes to leave the two front doors open to the outside so that people lounging in front of the club can hear the music. This reduces the effectiveness of the A/C as well as raising the humidity in the club to somewhat uncomfortable levels. Don't know if they continue this practice into the winter months. Miscellaneous: We broadcasted this gig via Facebook Live and had no trouble maintaining an Internet connection during the broadcast. Parking: As long as you're not trying to park a tandem unit, parking isn't much of a problem. However, as we mentioned above, tandem parking is non-existent. Venue Management: Pleasant and easy to work with. They're good people and we look forward to our next gig here. Overall: We had a very good gig. The crowd was enthusiastic and responsive. We are excited about the prospect of returning for another engagement.

I stopped by one afternoon and the gal behind the bar was super accommodating and even told me where I could get more of the coffee I was drinking. There were a bunch of 9 foot Brunswick's and they were well maintained. The house cues were a little beat up, but didn't seem to affect my game much--at least they are tipped well. This is a legit pool hall and I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin. I did come back in the evening just to burn a little time while I was waiting for some friends and the nighttime crew was just as friendly. Thanks for a good time, y'all!
