Besides pool, tjere are some other games like arcade basketball, ping pong, board games, jenga, connect 4, etc. The service at the pool tables and at the bar can be somewhat slow, even when its fairly empty. I always order the wings and they are pretty good, up there with other populat astoria spots.

A traditional sports…read morebar but bigger than anticipated with a vibrant atmosphere and a solid variety of games to play. Please note--it is not related to the Break Bar in Midtown, they are owned by different companies. Spent most of my time on ping pong and foosball, great for a competitive group. Even if you're just there for a quick drink and a chat you can do so with ease without feeling out of place. Pricing is great--$10-15 for food and drinks with solid variety. Recommend if you're coming with a group as it's spread out nicely, keeping everyone in their own space. A great find in Astoria--even for "your new boo" as their website puts it. Will be back to try the cocktails, some interesting names and combinations on there like the Golden Rush.

After being welcomed by the bartender we were directed to seat ourselves anywhere in the restaurant, choosing a hi top table by the front window. The menu is accessed via a QR code and after an issue connecting was finally able to place the order. Started with the maple glazed brussel sprouts which were a little lite on the maple glaze but overall very good. Stayed with their Monday Special consisting of a cheeseburger, choice of a side ( salad, tator totes, French fries ) and a beer for only $18. Burger served with a tomato and lettuce and was juicy and cooked to perfection. Overall service was good. Staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Great neighborhood restaurant/pub offering a wide selection of food and craft beers along with daily specials. There's a full bar with available seating along with both indoor and outdoor table seating. I'll definitely be revisiting whenever I'm in the Astoria area again.

Very spacious end direct. You only leave your ID at the counter you pay. When you're done. We could even feel the quality. While playing as the felt was clean and the balls were the shiniest I've ever seen. Coming out of COVID? I tend to walk with my own wipes and WI down all of the balls and polls sticks. When I begin my games. This was absolutely not necessary. At this establishment. I had to learn not to hit my balls so aggressively. As it was a professional, clean pool table. Not sure if they have food, but don't expect any fancy cocktails. Keep it simple with your beer. Orders from the selection they have. And you may have to walk to the bar to order, but they will bring it to you. Don't expect fine dining service. At a pool hall, it's a lax time.

What we got: 1 Peak Hour Billiards ($36)…read more Aya's take: If you're interested in playing billiards in a private setting, Sharks is the place for you! There are 2 rooms at the Steinway location - Brick Room & Glow Room. We booked the Brick Room; I found that this room to be slightly more private compared to the Glow Room which is directly in the line of sight of the entrance. Speaking of the entrance, ~5 minutes before your reservation time, you will get a code to unlock the main entrance. I felt super secure knowing that anyone who was entering or exiting was actually supposed to be there. We were a group of 2 and the Brick Room was plenty of space for us. There was a spacious lounge area and included a bluetooth speaker, Apple TV, and mini fridge. It's also BYOB! I like that we were able to connect our own music and just vibe out while playing billiards for the 1 hour we booked. It was such a fun time and I would totally do it again. You also get 5 free replays so if you make an epic move, it'll automatically send a video to your email once you finish your session. Note that prices vary by time: $20 off peak, $36 otherwise. Highly recommend!

I've walked by this bar a couple of times now while visiting friends in the Astoria Ditmars area…read moreand have always been curious as to what its like inside. I love super shitty Irish dive bars. Love. L-o-v-e. I also like bougie but there's nothing like the fresh smell of musk, seeing a bunch of regulars that have been sitting there for way too long cradling their bud lites and pondering where their life is going to take them next. I had about 30 minutes to kill before heading to a baby shower down the street and was torn over whether I wanted to get a coffee somewhere or an alcoholic beverage. Given that I knew no one at this shower, I went with just a nice lite beer. They have an okay selection on tap and nothing remarkable but the traditionals and Singlecut and Fat Tire if you are feeling more exotic. What won my heart over really and truly though was their free party mix on the bar tops. Not that crumby kind - oh ho ho ho no. It's the kind with the cheetos, pretzels, doritos, and the little frito bits that have a kick to them. The best kind of party mix one can really have anywhere. My beer was about $6 but they have $3-4 specials probably at all wakes of the night/day. Curious if this is any way related to the O'Hanlon's on east 14th street in Manhattan but probably just a popular name.
