a bar with a red counter
Matt S.

I was skeptical coming here , didnt know what to expect. It was quiet with with my gf got there early watched the nfc championship. There was a band there and a little bit of sketchy individuals. The price on the booze and the nachos I got were pricey. They were ok the nachos , I would probably just come here for pool and some drinks. Not the food , there's a lot of pool tables ,arcade games, and other games to play. The bartender was nice , we played pool that was fun. I was kind of bothered I was trying to get a yelp coupon redeemed for pool 10 bucks for 2 hours. The bar tender got the manager or owner to talk to me , the man said that he couldn't accept it they wanted to get off yelp a while ago , he said it was a covid discount , during covid. He sounded faded and finally he granted me the check in coupon from yelp but added 2 more dollars. Then he was messing around giving me a hard time for being a yelper. I mean I would of gave it higher review but that owner or guy was kind of ghetto.

Ahhhh, I'm not sure how I am supposed to review this place. Part of me wants to rate it a full 5 star but the other part wants me to rate it a 1-2 star. Note: unlike my other reviews, I am reviewing this place only after one visit but that's because I don't live in the area so this was a one time visit for me.....and so starts my rant: Starting with the Good, the great, and the magnificent. Very large location with ample room for people to mingle so this is definitely a location for even large groups to come hang out and enjoy. Music options could be a Yay or nay, depending on who you are but I'm pretty sure I saw a jukebox so you can play the music you like if you wanted. Music selection options are unknown but I would assume your favorite music will be available as well. The staff working here are extremely friendly and welcome myself and my friend, though complete strangers to the area as if we were regulars so that was very inviting. Beer/ale selection was okay. I don't drink and my friend is a Whiskey drinker so no Whiskey but he was able to find something he liked so that's a plus. There are many pool tables to play with, and different sizes so whether you want to play on the standard size or smaller size, you have the option. Lots of TV's so I would assume this would be a great place for when a game is on or other televised events. Hell, they even have some arcade games if you get bored of shooting because you can't shoot and others keep beating you. LOL. Price (for the table) is one of the best I've seen, especially the deal you get when you check-in via Yelp (this is as of November 2019). I checked in but I didn't get the deal because I totally forgot to show at the time of purchase. Well, I didn't pay, my friend did, and I was having a good time chatting with the bartender so that made me forget. But you know what? Even if I did get the discount, I probably would have paid the same amount and just applied it to the tip instead because of how much I did enjoy this location the day I visited. After reading the above, one would imagine "Well then, why the hell would you consider rating this place no less than a 5 star?" Well.... This... and this really applies to those who are looking for what I consider to be a proper pool hall. Though I've been shooting pool for well over 15 years now, it's always been just for fun but I've also come to appreciate the sport and know when a location is more a pool hall or more a fun bar and entertainment location. Corner Pocket Billiards being the latter. The things I'm about to point out will be things that someone who regularly shoots pool will understand but for the average person, probably won't care about. The tables are not maintained well and very dirty. Part of the reason is they use the red chalk (and for those who want to know, most cheap chalks produce a lot of dust which gets on the table and if you don't clean the tables often, it gets really dirty really quickly. Even the chalk from more recognized brands like Masters will dust (in all colors minus blue and grey that I found) so I usually prefer Master's blue chalk because of that. Blah blah blah.. yes i know) The rails are spongy soft or bumpy - annoyed the crap out of me when trying to bank shots. Dirty table + dusty chalk, you can guess that the cue stick was pretty dirty too. Not sure how often they wipe those down. I had to get a damp paper towel and wipe the stick i was using down for a couple of minutes before I felt comfortable I wasn't about to catch some disease (i'm a bit of an obsessive-compulsive person). You will only see 20oz and 21 oz sticks, some sticks were missing the tip, most didn't have a bumper and the first stick that I picked up had a bent screw that had a sharp edge that got caught on my shirt and almost ripped while i was cleaning it. The balls are very dirty and the cueball looks like it has pink eye. Some of the tables are not level so it was annoying to have my balls roll in directions I didn't want it to go. I think that about sums up my cons for this place. Judging from my complaints, any seasoned pool player would laugh at me and care less about most of the stuff I said minus maybe the cleanliness of the table as they can usually adapt to any situation and still kick butt and win. So yeah, even after 15 years, I still suck at shooting but I enjoy the game. Would I come back if and when I was in the area? Sure! But I may ask to borrow some of their cleaning supplies and clean the table prior to use or bring my own if they allow. LOL. Yes, it bothered me that much.

Ok place to play some pool. Price per the hour is great, that's my favorite thing. Cheapest place I've been to for pool so far. The reason is probably because of the mostly beat-up (some crooked & some broken) pool sticks, and no AC (it felt extremely stuffy). I went at night when it had already freshened outside from a really hot day (it was in the 80sF that day), but the inside had not cooled down at all yet so I can only imagine how hot it was in there during the day. Only played two games and I had to get out of there. Nonetheless, I will stop by again to play pool when I am in the area, unless it's a hot day, or hopefully they have AC by then.

Pool table and tables

First time coming here and I loved it! This place has it all: An amazing vibe, cold drinks, great music, food options, easy parking, and stays open late! The bartender welcomed my girlfriend and I with a smile and immediate service. Will definitely be back at this place soon!

$7 michelada. It was really yummy!

See all

It's a decent place to go. They need to upgrade the pool tables and invest in new pool sticks though.

Fun and chill vibes at the Mighty axe…read more Love coming for happy hour (4-6pm) to unwind with a beer and games. The axe throwing itself is $35 per person but it is worth it if you are looking for a fun activity or destressor (lol). If you opt out from axe throwing they have other options like card/ board games as well. Side note: They don't have food vendors but there's lots of wonderful food options around the area walking distance. In regards to the drinks, every beer/ alcoholic drink they carry is intentional and they rotate based off season. Every time I've came I've had a wonderful and welcoming experience with the help of Ryan, Marshall, and Mariah. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I went for date night there with a Groupon he purchased. We had not been there for…read morea few years. The first time was for a work event and we had fun, so we went back. It was a slow night for them. As we arrived at the bar to check in and I have to say that there was not much joy in are presence. My husband presented the Groupon and she immediately said, "Yeah, were not taking those anymore" and mentioned the manager or owners name. My husband immediately showed her that the Groupon had not expired yet. She fiddled looking in the computer and eventually allowed us to sign the waiver and Ray led us to our lane. Listen, if the place was super busy and they were swamped, I could see why they would be bothered by a Groupon hassle. But that was NOT the case and the fact of the matter is, they did not apologize for doubting the validity of the Groupon. It was more like we were an annoyance that we came in at all. Didn't ask us if we wanted something to drink. Ray was excellent at his presentation and instruction, but we were the only people throwing at the time and I was having issues with even hitting the board with the metal part of the axe. Just a helpful hint for the throwers, you will have to get someone back over there by asking if you need anymore help. They are not going to volunteer to help you again. All and all it is a fun environment, but I doubt we will be going back anytime soon. You want to spend money in an establishment that wants you there. Not one that acts like you just pissed in their Cheerios by showing up. Fun place to try, but frustrating if you can't throw the axe correctly to make it stick to the wall.
