Think pimps, Benny's lawn bags, Evil Knieval! The bar was packed. Live music was playing ( think something out of a Weezer video but with axe headbands.) We had fun.

This used to be my favorite bar. That is, until my clash with the owner about my jukebox…read moreselections. She is a big fan of bluegrass music, which I like in small doses. So one day I decide to play some rock music, fairly mainstream stuff, and she sends her lackey over to cancel ALL of my choices. Mind you, I don't go in for fringe-alt-rock, but I do for instance prefer Jimi Hendrix to, say, the Beach Boys. So I pop in my four quarters for 12 songs. She is behind the bar with the smug smirk while the lackey does his thing. I was taken aback by this rudeness. Ya know, why not just pack your jukebox with shitkicker music and eliminate the conflict?

I wouldn't say they're the strongest, but they do have a variety of drinks you can get, which I like. Location: The location is fairly nice and gives a very pub-like feel. It has an area to eat, but it also has a pool area, which is usually where I go. I like that you can order food in the pool area and don't necessarily have to eat in one specific section of the place. It's a very casual spot, so you can go with family, friends, or even on a date. It's very fun and entertaining and gives you something to do. The parking is pretty convenient. They have parking on the side of the building, on the street, and on the opposite side of the street as well, which makes it easy to find a parking space. Service: The service has always been pretty great, and they're usually quick with the food, which I like. I'll definitely be coming back with friends and family!

It was frigid outside so maybe that helped - because I remember it always feeling so crowded and loud but this time there weren't too many people. Got the It's Greek to Me burger. I never finish my meals - so I made the choice to remove the top bun and eat it with a fork and knife and devoured it. There were fries leftover, but my mom helped finish those. Really delicious burger - hearty portion but the toppings made it feel light and fresh. Zoe was our server. She was friendly and seemed engaged with her tables. I'd go back and try some more menu items if it was similar to last Saturday.

(Beer and high noon) Husband got a burger which was just "good" not the best but not the worst. His words. His fries were nice and crispy. Could have given us more than the little side of ketchup. Just leave the bottle. I got a fried chicken sandwich. It was almost burnt on one side and the majority of my fries were small end bits. Wasn't a fan of the corn chow chow relish they put on it and it Could have used more sauce. Probably won't come here again, but It wasn't bad considering we didn't have much time to find a place to grab a bite before the show.

I don't usually come here for the pool side of things, so I can't speak to the tables or pricing,…read morebut I do stop by the bar every now and then (usually in that quieter 3-6 p.m. window) and it's always a good experience. The servers are consistently nice and considerate, and the food is better than you'd expect from a typical "bar menu." The appetizer platter is a favorite of mine, the wings are always solid (and they've got 50¢ wing specials on Sundays), and the margaritas are honestly really good too. They also run other fun specials like Ladies' Night and Taco Tuesdays, which you can check out online. Overall, it's one of those places I know I can stop into and count on a good experience -- with friendly service. I keep coming back

Not feeling up for hosting another house party for my birthday this year, I decided to switch…read morethings up with a night out instead. After making a few calls and doing a little research, I came across Bo's Bar & Billiards. A night of pool with friends sounded like a great time--and it absolutely was! Bo's is in a huge building, and as soon as you walk in, you're hit with the lively sights and sounds of a classic billiards hall. The bar sits on a raised platform to the left, while most of the space is filled with pool tables. But the real gem? Their private rooms tucked away in the back. I booked one of them, which came with two pool tables and could comfortably fit up to 40 guests. Even better, the rooms have doors that can open between them if you want to combine spaces and double the fun. The vibe in the private room was unexpectedly charming--dim lighting, wood paneling, and rich tones that gave it a cozy, Clue-esque library feel. It felt intimate and inviting, like we'd stumbled into a hidden lounge tucked behind a bookcase. Between the soft glow and the steady clack of pool balls, it was the perfect backdrop for a relaxed but festive night. The room had all the essentials: a TV with the game on, a dial to control the music volume, and access to the TouchTunes app so we could pick our own playlist (with a fee) if we wanted. Booking the space was super easy--just a quick call to check availability and a request to reserve. No deposit needed. I even swung by ahead of time to check out the space, and the manager was kind enough to give me a quick tour and explain everything, which made the actual night go off without a hitch. When we arrived, the room was fully set up with pool cues, high-top tables, and bar stools. I laid out a few card games for the non-pool players, and there was a small buffet area where I was able to set up a birthday cake I brought in (yes, outside desserts are allowed!). They do offer buffet packages, but I appreciated that there was no required food minimum. Since most of my friends had eaten beforehand and planned to order drinks anyway, it worked out perfectly. If you're interested, they also have bar packages available. The highlight? We had a dedicated waitress for our room. She was super friendly and incredibly on top of things--refills, clearing dessert plates, helping guests close out tabs--you name it. At the end of the night, we were even able to add the room rental fee right to our bar tab, which made checking out a breeze. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. The whole night was easy, fun, and I felt totally taken care of the entire time.

It was pretty much what I expected based on reviews: pretty good drinks in a classic cocktail style setting. I didn't think there was anything that stuck out or made it original. It took a little while for the bartender to make our drinks, but once ready, we decided to bring them over to the lower table area. Once we were finished and walking out, the bartender asked us to bring up all of our glasses and napkins to the bar. I thought bussing our own table was a little odd too. Overall, nothing to write home about but also not bad.
