I've been trying out a few pool places recently as I get into it and I can say this is one i…read moredefinitely wouldn't come back to. We came late on a Monday night and were treated extremely rudely, and based on past reviews I definitely believe it has something to do with us being a group of women. We were the only ones in there and the owner and his friends stared us down every time we played. He also started the timer as soon as we walked in and said we wanted to play before we even got the table. He came over to ask us to turn down our music (which was so low he didn't notice for 30+ mins) despite us being the only people in there with radio station ads playing. The tables were $15 an hour and cash only which I personally hate considering it's 2026 and I believe it's outdated. $15 an hour felt especially steep when there is no real music, no drinks, no snacks and no nothing but rude service. I've played pool at dive bars in nicer parts of LA at billaird places for $2 an hour. The owner and his friend mocked us as we played in front of them so I would not say it's beginner friendly. Also I previously came here on a Saturday night when it was packed and because there is zero ventilation there is a certain smell that sticks... Overall I would not recommend this place especially if you are a woman unless you are okay with unwelcoming service

The Asian lady that usually takes the order is wonderful. The older Latino gentleman is also great. Today, I ate here and there seems to be a new guy. Bigger, taller guy, with long hair that was in a tiny bun, and has a goatee. He wasn't the best. He took my order without taking any notes. Initially, I was kind of impressed as he just confidently nodded as I took my order. My main plate came, but the other things that I ordered didn't. I waited sound 5 mins to see if the kitchen was just backed up. So I asked him again, he said ok. I waited again and it still didn't come. He seemed to have been distracted with other tables and talking to everyone . So, I ended up asking the older Latino guy for it and the rest of my orders came out quickly. Then came to paying the bill and asking for a box and a bag. The exact same thing! I asked him a second time for the box and a bag. It never came. At one point, he even sat down on a seat with a person that seemed to be a buddy of his. All this while I was patiently waiting for the things I need so I can get back to work. That was a little frustrating. So, again, I reserved to asking the Latino older man, and he gave it to me right away. Give the older man a raise and a promotion. I hope the Asian lady didn't stop working here. She was great. Can't say the same thing about this new guy that I've never seen before.

I called down to Billiards & Barstools to see if they replaced cue tips, and sure enough they do. I spoke with Bob who said he could do it the same day. I took the journey down to South Bay, and within 15 minutes (probably less!) I had a cue with a brand new tip. Not only did he replace the tip, but filled in and sanded some cracks in the ferrule. It's the kind of good ole fashioned service you used to get in my dad's time, and that you rarely find today. Thanks again, Bob!

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
