This pool room and restaurant stands in a class of its own, not just as a place to play or dine,…read morebut as a complete experience built around quality, community, and consistency. From the moment you walk through the doors, it's immediately clear that this is not a typical establishment trying to get by on appearances--it delivers substance at every level. Start with the atmosphere. The patrons and staff set the tone, and here that tone is unmistakably positive. People are welcoming without being intrusive, friendly without being artificial, and professional without feeling stiff. That balance is rare. You don't feel like an outsider, even on your first visit. Instead, there's an underlying sense that this is a place where people genuinely enjoy being--and that matters the most. Then there's the food, which frankly outperforms expectations for a venue that could have coasted on its recreational appeal alone. It hasn't. The kitchen clearly takes itself seriously, and the results show. Winning three regional awards isn't luck--it reflects consistency, execution, and a refusal to cut corners. The menu offers standout dishes that would hold their own against dedicated restaurants, not just "good for a pool hall," but legitimately among the best in the area. Now to the core attraction: the pool tables. This is where the establishment separates itself from the competition decisively. High-quality equipment isn't optional here--it's foundational. The sixteen 9-foot Diamond and Diamond Predator tables signals that this place understands what serious players expect. These tables are meticulously maintained, level, clean, and responsive. Casual players will enjoy the experience, but seasoned players will immediately recognize that this is a venue designed with them in mind. Maintenance extends beyond the tables. The entire facility reflects attention to detail. Cleanliness, organization, and upkeep are clearly priorities, not afterthoughts. There's no sense of neglect or slow decline that plagues so many similar businesses. Instead, everything feels intentionally cared for, which reinforces trust in the overall operation. Location matters, and this one is hard to beat. Situated in a safe, upscale southside area, it removes the hesitation some people have about visiting billiards venues. You're not second-guessing your surroundings--you're focused on enjoying your time. That alone broadens the appeal, especially for families. And that brings up another critical point: this is genuinely a family-friendly environment that includes a youth league. The friendliness is not in a forced or watered-down way, but in a way that makes people of different ages comfortable sharing the same space. That's difficult to execute, and even harder to sustain, but it's clearly part of the core philosophy here. Finally, the owner, Thomas Dorsey, deserves mention--not as a token nod, but because leadership sets the ceiling for everything else. His reputation for being genuinely kind and approachable isn't just a nice detail; it explains the culture. Places don't accidentally become welcoming, well-run, and respected. That starts at the top. If you're looking for a place to pass time, you have options. If you're looking for a place to consistently enjoy yourself, improve your game, eat well, and build real connections, this is where you go.

Unfortunately, they still put sour cream on the taco so had to flag someone down to help get the tacos remade. Once fixed, the tacos were fantastic and way bigger than expected!

Still had to wait a little bit to place an order but that's to be expected.

Really fun Mexican joint with dive bar vibes…read more The service is phenomenal. Every staff member greeted up with kindness and promptness. Also noticed that they make an effort to be a more sustainable / environmentally friendly business. Most restaurants will tear thru single use plastic containers without batting an eye, but DLB is different. Now about the food. Amazing traditional Mexican style tacos is their specialty. I've never tried a taco of theirs that I didn't like. But my favorites are the carnitas and the shrimp tacos, highly recommend trying those ones. You do have to pay for chips and salsa, but they give you a lot of bang for your buck. We went here for an event so we had huge servings of everything, for about 15 people. They had a nice big section of the restaurant prepared for us. We reserved a pool table as well. And for anyone who doesn't know, this building used to be an old pool spot called Triple, they've kept the Triple sign as an homage to them. And continued to have pool tables. And I'll let you in on a little known treasure of DLB. The key lime pie. Omg it is to die for. I don't even like key lime pie that much, but *this* one? Yes!! More please.

Very big plus is our beers were half off because we also stumbled upon happy hours. The whole place was pretty big, and had a good arcade section. We definitely were able to kill time and had a lot of fun. Staff is pretty chill and let us know we could drink near the games. Can't wait to come back!

My husband and try to find an arcade bar everywhere we go, and this was our choice in Richmond…read more It's super easy to get to and a couple brewery spots around it which were perfect to bar hop a little. For their arcade, you have to use a card that you buy credits on to. In our opinion, the games were a little expensive. I think it's more directed towards parents who want to drink and offload their kids in this area, but for those of us already spending a good amount on drinks, the price on the games kinda sucks. We're used to a cover for all you can play or something a little more affordable. They do have a lot of great, newer games. It definitely kept us entertained for a while. They also had a great variety. It was pretty empty when we got there a little after lunch, but by 4pm or so it started raining and they were PACKED. The drinks were good, nothing special. A couple draft cocktails that tasted like you would expect. Some good beer options. It's a great spot in the area, huge bar area that can fit a lot of people and a really great patio.

Now let's talk food, because the wings and nachos here are absolutely to die for. The wings come out perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sauce, and the nachos are piled high and loaded in all the right ways. Every single time I order them I wonder why I ever eat anywhere else. But here's my pro tip -- hit happy hour. Trust me on this one. The daiquiris during happy hour are hands down the best in all of Richmond. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and dangerously easy to drink. Fuzzy Cactus has the perfect combination of great food, killer drinks, and even better people. Do yourself a favor and get in there.

Came only for the wings and they definitely live up to the hype. Came out fresh and hot. The wings were huge and perfectly saucy - might be some of my favorite wings in RVA thus far. The buffalo sauce was perfect. We also got the sweet heat which was like a mild bbq sauce with a little bit of heat - the sauce itself was okay but the wings being perfectly cooked made up for it. Will be back again soon as our usual wing spot!
