service is absolutely abysmal. waited over 30 minutes after asking for our bill, and we had to find her and track her down.

One star for trivia. The trivia guy makes it so boring and is way too specific-were all here to have a good time no need for the trivia police. No one should come for trivia ever read more

I've been here in the past (several times) and actually enjoyed myself at Break. I've never encountered any problems until this past weekend. Upon trying to enter, the bouncer ("Hollywood") denied our group entrance because "it seemed like we had too much to drink" which was not true at all. I would understand if we were belligerent or stumbling around, but it was the complete opposite of that. I guess they don't mind turning away returning customers. read more

The bar service was great and the food was good. However, the hostess in-charge of the pool tables was absolutely horrible. We gave her our cell number 3x so that she could text us but never got a pool table. We even sat at the bar in front of her and still she ignored us. She claimed that there was something wrong with our phone but when we asked her to text us again so that we could see.... and mysteriously the TEXT WENT THROUGH!! I don't believe for one second that she ever texted us. Will not be coming back here again. read more

This place is off the chain!! Let me give you a run down of what rules about it: a SHIT TON of cheap AND well-maintained tables (as well as a sitting/eating area), good bar food, good beer selection and prices, unbelievably friendly servers who love their regulars and newcomers equally, big TVs, sick tunes, ping pong, foosball and BIG BUCK HUNTER SAFARI. ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE?! Big Buck Hunter Safari. I've loved this place every time I've gone there...it's become one of my spots. read more

Break is my sports spot, they shows all the sports and ufc fights, drink are reasonable and atmosphere is amazing.

NO Customer service! If I could give 0 stars I would. Tonight my husband and his friends were completely ignored and in my opinion discriminated against. They are 3 Brazilians, who have lived in US for many years now, but still carry an accent. They had to go to the bar to get water, a pitcher of beer, as well as place an order for nachos, which took 1 hour to be served. Basically they had zero customer service and had to go to the bar to get food and drink the entire night. No one ever came to check in if they needed another round, or to check on the food etc.. At the end of the night, the waitress did come with the bill, but after 20 mins, they had to drop it off at the bar to pay, as the waitress was nowhere to be found. When they waited to get their change back- another 20 mins had past and they inquired with the bartender- who then started Yelling and said" it's not my problem, if you left you're money at the bar, you don't get change" which then my husband said that is a mistake and he would like his change back, seems like a normal request to me. Once again the bartender said " I'm busy, that's not my problem". Finally another waitress stepped in and had to call their waitress' cell phone, she came and said " here's your fucking money". WOW, being in the service industry for many years, this kind of interaction is shocking. We will not be frequenting here any longer. read more

This was absolutely one of the best nights that I had in Astoria . It was my boyfriend's birthday and a friend recommended break , It was a wed night , wasn't expecting much but we had a blast . Our Bartender Whitney was FABULOUS , friendly and most of all fun . She made sure we had a great time . The service was great . The food was very good . She recommended the Club Sandwich and nachos . We were very pleased . To top it off we even played a few rounds of air hockey :) . Definitely will return !! Thanks to Whitney for making our special day fun . read more

I work in the service industry myself and hold bartenders to a higher standard. It is what keeps me coming back to a place. I don't get out to Astoria much but when I do, I like to visit Break. The Wednesday night bartender is always friendly, accommodating, and it doesn't hurt that she's got a killer smile. Plus you can play pool, which always helps in making one feel like a bad ass. read more

I've been to Break on several occasions and have usually had an okay time. It's a dive bar in Astoria. The one redeeming quality is that it has a Foosball table, Other than that it's a Sh**hole. The waitresses are lazy and usually hard to find. Once you sit down and you usually have to go to the bar and tell them where you're sitting and they will send a waitress over......eventually. Service SUCKS. I'm a transplant to NY and like pretty much everything else in NY, this place SUCKS and I will never go back. Bouncer/Doorboy couldn't spell CAT even if you spotted him the "AT". Don't waste your time!!! read more

Amazing experience. Guys this plays has all the UFC/MMA fights and the best of all there is no cover charge. I was there yesterday and the guy in the bartenders were always there on top of us providing good service. The food is ok, prices very fair... read more

Like to play pool or a few arcade game? This bar is big enough to bring groups of friend to and lounge around comfortably with your drinks while watching a few unexciting games of pool. Their drinks are reasonably priced and the layout is pretty big and open. I have never tried their food so I wouldn't be able to judge them on that. The people here are young and hip, a bit of a college vibe (but you would expect to find that at a Billiard, right?) read more

Nice place, free pool... but if you arrive around 5, expect to be called at 6 and to pay the $12/ hr.

We've been coming here for the past few fridays for drinks and pool to start the weekend. The place is on the second floor, so I almost missed it the first time I went. The establishment itself is a lot nicer than I was expecting. The area is large and open, the tables and equipment are in good condition, there are tables and chairs scattered throughout. It's a nice vibe. Pool is free before 8 when you drink, and the happy hour specials (4-8) are decent. However, after 8, things get expensive real fast, and maybe it's just me, but I feel that the waitresses try to get as much money out of us as possible (ex: disappearing around 7:45 so that we can't order another drink before 8, later asking us if we "want another" and bringing back bottles instead of draft, presenting a very confusing check at the end of the night). It's small stuff, but I always feel like I spend way more than I should, especially because we feel obligated to tip. Jokes on us though, we keep going back. read more

Fun spot, prices are alright pools are always available unless it's a weekend. Most of the times good crowd, didn't enjoy the food that much (I got a wrap), but staff is friendly and good looking. read more

Pretty cool spot. We went there on the fourth of July and it was free pool til 8pm. There was plenty of entertainment like arcade games and such. I minused one star for the music mostly rock i like more variety. read more

Good happy hour deals. Always brings in a nice crowd of diverse people. Attentive servers. Decent alcohol, and pool tables are in good shape. I've been there a couple of times, and will definitely come back again. read more

Why is the service always so bad? It's 5:00pm on a Saturday. And I'm waiting 30 minutes to get a second drink. They only have one bartender on trying to serve the entire place. Also, the bartender gave me a bunch of grief about opening a tab because she was going off shift in an hour. Why is that my problem? read more

Good vibe, free pool between 4 and 8, reasonably priced drinks, noise level acceptable. What more do you want?

Disappointed. I've been there before and had a fun date night playing games etc. Tried to go back to grab a drink and play a game or two on a Saturday night. They wouldn't let me boyfriend and his brother in because they were wearing tank tops. I understand dress code but it seemed strange as this is a casual sports bar with pool tables, arcade games, etc. They lost out on three paying clients that night and for the future. read more

If your girl is pregnant she might get discriminated. Just want to point it out before I write this long review, that I did call prior and asked if it was okay to bring a pregnant girl to their billiards bar, which they said it was okay. First of all I would never put my girl in any type of danger or in a establishment that maybe violent. As the photo shows I called this establishment prior to me going. I asked if it was okay to bring a pregnant girl due to the fact that I was going to meet a couple of friends there. She wasn't going to drink, and only spend time with me and our friends at the establishment. Once it hit a certain (passed 10 p.m) time that the employee I spoke to over the phone didn't state, that they apparently don't let people in if the establishment is at capacity (I understand it's a fire hazard) . That's fine I would've been okay if they stated that prior to me making a big deal out of it. As I am explaining the situation to one of the bouncer prior to me asking if it was okay for me to speak to a manager, the bouncer and associate were making it seem like it was my fault for me to bring a pregnant girl out( since when can a pregnant girl not go out), my girl is 7 months and wanted to enjoy the fight with our friends and I explained to them that I called prior to us getting there if it was okay (that's why I we choose this place, if not would've gone somewhere else, like home or millers ale house). Now I'm speaking to the manager I forgot his name, I'm explaining to him the situation, and he tells me they can't let people in due to the place being at capacity and that yeah he's the manager but he doesn't control the bouncers. That the bouncers deem who they let in. As that is happening a friend of mine that wasn't there prior( first time being at the establishment) got let in, and I ask this friend of mine, was she they're before, in front of the manager to gauge his reaction, she said no he just let me in, all while my girl that is pregnant is down stairs waiting in the cold. So I ask the manager why did you clearly let someone who wasn't here before up (not just my friend, other people) and my girl still has to wait in the cold. I mean we have her seat saved by the the section. and we just ordered her food, and he says he doesn't control who the bouncers let in. I asked him how is it they can choose who they deem worthy to come up, it's unfair. So he says I'm sorry I am the manager but the bouncers say who they let in (pretty much saying your screwed go somewhere else). Now I'm not mad if they would've been straight forward and told me from the beginning that it wasn't a safe environment, or that they can't guarantee the safety of their customers( not pregnant and pregnant alike), because the bouncer upstair and his female associate clearly said " what if a fight breaks out, how do you know nothing will happen to her". I told them how do we even know if a fight will break out, and isn't that why you have bouncers? I also told them I called prior, I had other options like watching the fight at home or go to another establishment, but when I spoke to them at 7:20 p.m they said it's fine and that's why me and my 4 other friends chose this place instead of going somewhere else. Also if your in that a situation (waiting outside situation) where the bouncer says I can't let you in, yet he's letting people in, you would obviously say something. Now the part the pissed me off is that, as soon as the bouncer noticed my girl was approaching him and he yells "stop, just stop, I know what your gonna ask" so my woman (I'm upstairs talking to the manager) says "why are you yelling at me, stop yelling at me you have no right to" and the bouncer says " I was just looking at you because I was just going to tell you to come up, but see now your not going up". All because she said stop yelling at me you have no right to, and he said " you just need to stop because I know you were gonna ask why am I letting other people up". Obviously someone is gonna ask why, when clearly your not letting some up & some in. I also have a video of him saying it. read more

this place is HUGE!! definitely LOTS of fun gaming here.. pool, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, basketball, darts, etc but I have to say not only is the music there terrible but the prices are laughable. DO NOT drink here! I could go to any bar in Manhattan and have cheaper drinks than this place. have a bunch of money to burn and wanna throw a tacky party with tons of people? this place is perfect. otherwise, i'd say choose someplace else read more

Good beer selection, food is eh, trivia is awesome. Tuesday night trivia is free, competitive, and always a good time. Service is hit or miss. read more

Pretty fun place to go with a group of friends - they have ping pong, pool, foos ball, air hockey, etc. The place is very big and the food and drinks are pretty good especially the potato skins. read more

I enjoy the convenience of playing pool and any other game whilst having a bevvie. There are pool leagues that come through so if you plan on playing late or coming after happy hour you should check because it does get crowded. The population has more guys than gals so that a plus. I would suggest that they target their happy hour beverages to the clientele because it's not the 'best buy' on the block. You'd definitely get more women in here if this change was made. All if all a cool spot to hang out and play pool. read more

Wanted to catch a college basketball game on tv and eat and drink at the same time. The food menu is so so and there weren't many healthy options but I knew that going in and what else would I expect with bar food. Bartenders were decent, manager was nice and changed to my game on the tv no problem. The place gets really loud on Saturday nights and is hard to get a pool table but is a good time. Lots of other board games, card games, cards against humanity to play with too. Fun place read more

Great place to hang out and watch sports. There's lots to do and the vibe is casual. Only negative thing is the bouncer at the door is very rude and not helpful at all. read more

Great beer selection, tons of games and trivia! Free Tuesday trivia at 8:30, winners got drink tickets.

This place is awesome. I went at 5pm on a Wednesday, so it was basically empty. Their are lots of tables (approx 15) and a solid beer selection. Recommended. read more

i love going to this place to hang out and watch UFC fights, they screen all the payperviews which is really cool, and they dont charge a cover fee...im sold...the only thing that needs a little work is the speed of the food...but hey cant complain it gets really packed....love this place, and the bartenders are super cute!! read more

Been to this place a couple times now and it's the only good place I can find to play a good game of pool and have a decent drink in the area wasn't too expensive they did make a mistake and charged my credit card for the bill meanwhile I paid cash but they refunded me rite away so all around good service and cool atmosphere read more

I love this place!! Great for happy hour and pool is free before 8PM on weekdays and before 6PM on weekends. Our bartender was this awesome girl with purpled hair. She told us about the specials and got us set up. I really loved the atmosphere at this place. Check out the pictures to see the other crazy fun games they have like a life sized Connect 4!! I would definitely go back to Break any day of the week. read more

Awesome sports bar and billiards! They have more than just pool tables great place to get lost in time! Not to mention the staff is pretty cool!! Especially iliana! She rocks!! read more

Great spot. Food is 10/10 so far. (Gf and I love popcorn chicken, curly fries, and ring of fire burger). About 14 pool tables. Good size and condition. Happy hour!!! : Monday to Thursday 4pm (open) to 8pm (happy hour ends). Friday 12pm to 8pm. Saturday and Sunday 12pm to 6pm. You must buy food or drink (a beer is what I get. Think drink has to be alcoholic. They check ID for it). Do this and billards/pools is free during happy hour. read more

Great place to relax and have some fun. Great service especially my bartender Mario who was very attentive to all of my needs and great demeanor. Was a pleasure to have him serve me and I would absolutely recommend coming here. read more

Great place for football season. Beer deals are awesome and Savannah always takes great care of us..she's attentive, charismatic, and down to earth. 3 seasons now we have been going every Sunday ! read more

this is why i love coming to astoria , the diverse places to eat and hangout is endless and break bar and billiards is part of the group via it's broadway location . this place is big like a warehouse with high ceilings, exposed brick walls and plenty of room to roam even with a bunch of pool tables all around as well as air hockey, ping pong tables and other table games included . the bar and picnic seating area is big with full bar and food servers ready to take your orders . my buddy just had a bite near by so i can't comment on the food but from the menu it's standard sports bar/gub stuff like wings , burgers , nachos , fries, etc and of cause the full booze selections. i use my yelp check in to get the 50 percent off on games with any purchase so i guess i will be ordering a bud light it seems . plenty of good deals for the weekdays and nights also before 8pm so call and check or look at the website. plenty of big tvs all around showing a variety of sports which was total basketball this evening . the staff are very friendly and check up constantly if you need a refill or need to order some food. the crowd is loud just like the music but really a safe place to hang out at totally .the prices are reasonable compared to manhattan prices and for 7 bucks after my yelp check in for 2 hours of pool playing is a good deal in my book. the parking situation is not great with only street parking around so be ready to walk a few blocks . i will be back when the 2017 football season starts or maybe sooner so play some more pool and a few games of ping pong. overall a cool pool sports bar to chill at . 4.5 stars on my yelp meter. read more

Came here for Game 2 of the Mavs Heat NBA FINALS. This place is awesome, they have plenty of pool tables, plenty of seating, ping pong tables, air hockey, good rock music that they don't play loud!! and most important of all $2 beers! I saw the specials they have during the game on yelp and decided to bring a few of my friends here, I can't recall the name of the beer for the life of me but it was a green redbull shaped can and it was pretty good. Bartenders were very polite and attentive, very chill vibe. I would recommend this place if your the type of person like me who wants to grab a drink without a loud crazy atmosphere and likes to be able to sit somewhere to catch a game and bullshit with pals. I'll def be coming back. I took one star away because I think they could use some more tvs or a projection screen atleast, the four screens behind the bar are great but if your not sitting at the bar then you don't really have a good view of the games that are on. read more

Very diverse and low key. Staff friendly and comfy atmosphere. My choice of an exciting night out!!! Let's Break...

My first experience at Break was hosting trivia on Tuesday night - I was filling in for a girl that I had met a few weeks back. From a host's perspective, the experience was mediocre. However, I returned tonight and dominated the pool table...for free (7-9 PM). Break deserves five stars for this reason alone. Sure, you should probably buy a beverage or two, but the $3 Miller High Life won't set you back that much. Even on St. Patrick's Day, when I assumed people would be more inclined to go out and drink, we were able to get a table right when we entered. After 9 PM, we decided to pay for an extra hour and in the end we were only charged $7 for it. Normally this would be $13 ($10 per hour + $3 for a third person). If pool ain't your game, there is table tennis, air hockey, skee ball, foosball, Big Buck Hunter, and so on. The food isn't bad either. All around, Break is a great neighborhood spot. read more
