Chill place to play pool, nothing fancy but not expensive. You get what you pay for here.

It's quite a big spaced out area and it's a great spot to hang out! There's also vip rooms in case you don't want to be around others.

Great place to go if you want to hang out with some friends and enjoy the music. P.S I would love to know where they get their music from

The Rail House 10803 - Beet and Kale Salad with grilled chicken and steak Tacos

The Rail House 10803

So, this one was a real doozy of a visit. The drinks were fair, with our order being a Goose Island…read moreIPA, Long Island iced tea, and a pomegranate martini. The service and food, on the other hand, were quite a mixed bag. We ordered a margherita pizza, pancake tacos, steak and eggs, and French toast with a side of sausage--the pizza, at least, was good. However, the "French toast" was more like an anemic panini press trying to pass as French toast. The steak and eggs comprised of a fairly well-cooked (that is, it was the right temperature) yet underseasoned steak of a relatively dubious cut, underseasoned home fries, and eggs done wrong (sunny side instead of over easy). The lattermost was the start of the problem, as I was willing to give it a shot, but found the texture off-putting. In light of this, I brought the problem to our server Adalia, who brought it to her manager Elvia. Thankfully I had someone else with me to tell me what happened: Elvia came over without addressing me on their error, silently took a look at my plate and instructed Adalia to have the kitchen put the eggs back on the fire. She takes my plate to extract the eggs, and brings them back (unsurprisingly) completely overdone, first in Elvia's hands, then in Adalia's for her to serve; we send for a refire, and they come back correct 7 minutes or so after I've already finished eating. Considering the hassle it took to get them, I couldn't trust it enough to eat, leading them to waste as well. After all was said and done, the GM Amer comes over to see how things were, and was thankfully helpful and understanding of our situation. Here's the rub: I was initially willing to overlook the steak, the home fries, and even the eggs if the error was properly ameliorated. Adalia and Amer both did very well, and I'm grateful for them for that; Elvia, on the other hand, managed to break the chain of competent customer service by directing the server to handle the problem in a way that was set up for failure (if you mess up an egg, it's an immediate refire because of how the egg cooks in the first place -- Amer also arrested to that policy) all without addressing us and taking accountability, due to negligence or whatever else. Not only that, but when sending the incorrect eggs over the second time, she couldn't even bring it to us herself--it would have been easy, seeing as she was the one that originally had them--and left Adalia and her tip to potentially take the fire if the patrons happen to be angry. Mistakes are fine--everyone makes them--but I'd describe this as cowardly more than anything else, and I take issue with that in particular from a leadership standpoint. While Amer graciously extended an invitation for a better experience next time, I can't say I'll be taking him up on the offer when their service and food are this misaligned; unfortunately, a disappointment overall.

What a great place !!! Went last night once more with some friends . Happy hour not only consists…read moreof drinks, but , blue point oysters for $1.00 each . They are always fresh .

Historically The Paradise Theater should have landmark status if it doesn't. I'm glad to see that…read morethe old relic has been brought back to life. The venue itself is very old but in good condition. Depending on what show you choose will determine your total experience. I went to see the O'Jays & Maze & Frankie Beverly and had a really good adult time. Acoustics were good, entrainment top notch and the crowd was behaved & mature. Cut to 2012 for Fantasia, Charlie Wilson on Mothers Day & then Lil Kim the next weekend and things at the Paradise have gone down hill in only two years! Mind you the entertainment was great, but the crowd was rowdy, standing in orchestra $100.00 seats and some folks smoking weed (uggghhh)!!!!! C'mon, give me a break, sure I like to dance with the best of them, but hell, who wants to stand for two hours? Straight hood. A tad chaotic out front with little direction on which line to stand in and will call/pick up for tickets. The only plus is the cheap parking. All & all I'm glad that the Paradise is back but it's just a matter of time before it becomes a run down shell again.

Saw The Killers here on 9/18 for their YouTube LiveStream courtesy of American Express and their…read more"Unstaged" series. This is a series of shows where AMEX pairs up bands with well known directors and streams them online...The Killers chose to work with Werner Herzog for this particular show. Ok, now that I got the reason I was here out of the way, let's review - this show was "Will Call" for people who purchased their tickets online and lucked out with General Admission tickets. The "Will Call" folks were made to get their tickets at 5:37pm when doors were supposed to open at 5:30pm. Their process for this was messy and unorganized. People were made to step out of the line, get their tickets and wristbands and then proceed to get back in line in the correct order. I got there around 9:15am because I'm a HUGE Killers fan and wanted to make sure I was up front and center of the barricade throughout their performance. I'm 5ft tall and it's how I enjoy shows for bands I really like, sue me - but people were getting in front of me (and others!) who had no business skipping people, so of course a little drama ensued (erupted up in the very front, I was person #16, my section was drama - the very front of the line was a warz one, lol). After the line reformed it turned out that our pre-ripped tickets (ripped by the folks handing out tickets) should not have been ripped because now security couldn't scan their barcodes (insert eyeroll here). So we were instructed to walk in slowly and show our wristbands and tickets. Oooookay. Fast forward 45 minutes after everyone ran in like 8th graders on a last day of school, security kept selectively asking to see people's wristbands...personally I think if Will Call tickets were distributed when the box office opened or at least 30 minutes prior to doors and tickets not ripped then a lot of chaos could have been avoided. It's not Paradise Theater's first "Will Call" show, they should have a better system in place by now... Now for the show. I was exactly where I wanted to be, front and center right, pressed up the barricade. The theater is quite beautiful with a certain mod 1920's feel. It's big enough to house a bombastic performance as provided by The Killers, but felt small enough to create an intimate experience despite it being a sold out gig. The sound could have been better, venues like Roseland and Webster Hall surely excel in this area and I attend enough concerts that I've developed an ear for this sort of thing. Security was good in controlling the crowd which in all fairness didn't require much "controlling". I remember when this theater first popped up on my concert radar when I saw bands I liked booking shows here. My first reaction was, "Pffffft, I'm not going to the Bronx, I'll wait till they play in the city or Brooklyn again". Killers got me there and honestly, I commuted from Jackson Heights, Queens. It wasn't bad at all and I'd surely do it again. My experience here was definitely a solid 4 stars but I'm sure for most people a 3.5 or 3.

Yeah, I'm probably not going back to this spot. I called…read morethem directly through Yelp to find out the cover and hours of operation. They said there was NO COVER. I repeat, NO COVER. They also said it closes around 2am. Both were lies. So you could only Imagine how furious when I got there an hour later and found out that there in fact was a cover charge. I pulled out my phone and showed them that I just called them and spoke to someone who said otherwise. This goonish enforcer instead repeated they are charging me $10. I said whatever, I'm already there and I gave them a $20 bill! Their brilliant accounting staff gave me back a $5 bill. I said I just gave them a $20 and then they said it was a $15 cover and refused to give me the extra 5 back. I WAS LIED TO ABOUT THE COVER TWICE!! It changes by the second. And it's not about the cost because that's a fair price in NY at that hour, but it's the principle. I was basically lied to and stolen from. That's a horrible way to do business. I'm not going back with my friends in the future. And this just to make the night a little worse, we got a bottle but didn't get a seat. I don't care about that part as much. It was just the extra insult to injury. Again...trash.

This place is zef solid…read more Not disagreeing with the only other reviewer - I've never been here on a club night so cannot speak to the price of those cover charges. Right near the tracks and parking lot, they play good beats (think classic R&B and 80s alt jazz), got live shows, a food truck outside, and regular bartender Joe is on point with his drinks. If you're looking for a different kind of dive, check out Bassline for happy hour - it won't disappoint.
