We loved this place when they first opened and have used their tables many times. I seem to remember paying around $35 an hour at any time but it seems they have adopted higher pricing for more popular time slots. $45 per hour is pretty steep when you want to play for two hours. Considering the lack of 8' tables available in the area from 8am to 3am, it's great to have the option but my main complaint is the condition of the tables. They're fine for amateur play but if you are expecting to practice higher end shooting the felt is so worn on both tables that cue ball control is out of the question. The felt around pockets is torn, bumpers are loose and the tables are wobbly. I've reported the conditions and received an apology but looking at some of the comments here, it doesn't seem that they have ever been refelted or repaired. My wife and I just joined a league and love to practice with friends but I feel ripped off playing on their garbage tables and will be looking for other options. read more

I am not someone who typically writes reviews about places. So if I'm writing a review, it's either really good, or really bad. In this case, my experience was very bad. Long story short: CHECK SHARK'S INFRACTIONS POLICY BEFORE GOING!! ACTUAL STORY: I signed up to play pool with 5 buddies for 2 hours. When our reservation was over, the next reservation had not arrived yet so we just kept playing. After about 15 mintues, I received a phone call from Sharks, who asked me if we were going to keep playing. I replied that, Yeah we're just going to stay until the next reservation arrives and then we'll leave. The lady I spoke to, then replied Okay, and that was the entirety of the phone call. I paid $120 for the two hours, and everything was fine, until I checked my CC the next day and I had been charged an additional $40. I emailed Sharks asking them what this $40 charge was about, and they explained because we stayed an extra 50 minutes. I said, Wait, I spoke with someone on the phone from Sharks and they said "Okay" when I told them we were just going to stay until the next reservation arrived; They said nothing about us getting charged for that time. The person then replied that this information is on their website. I told them that I have looked everywhere on their website and it says nothing about this type of charge; not in the FAQ section, the Pricing section, anywhere. The person writes me back saying that it's in the Infractions Policy part of their website. The Infractions Policy is the absolute last link at the bottom of their website, where you have to scroll all the way to the bottom. It's not in the header in the FAQ section (where it should be) or in the Pricing Section (where it also could be.) I say to the guy, listen this was our first time using Sharks, we talked to the person on the phone who said nothing about extra charges. You clearly are hiding your Infractions Policy at the bottom bottom of your website, could you please just give me a courtesy, and I will know next time to not stay past my reservation? To which the guy replied, Nope! Telling me I signed a contract with them when I click accept to their Terms of Service, going all South Park HumancentiPad episode on me. So this is my warning to all future Sharks customers, make sure you check the Infractions Policy before you decide to go, because they can and will charge you for just about anything. See the Infraction charges below. P.S. They advertise this place as BYO, and yet in the Infractions Policy they list BYO as a possible charge. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - INFRACTIONS FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE CHARGED https://sharkspool.club/infractions-policy (1) Overstay: If a guest stays more than 10 minutes past their reservation, they will be charged the market value price of the slot plus $10 for every additional guest over 4 guests.

I went for Casual 8-ball play and the staff member/other players were nice but after I left, I received an email with video footage of me and the other players. This is hidden in their terms & conditions so I was pretty upset this wasn't made more clear. Pretty sneaky and frustrating they could use it for marketing, etc. Also they don't have an available water fountain and the only option is to use their vending machine and pay for expensive fuji water ($3.25). On top of that, the pool table wasn't great quality and the staff member himself told us it's in need of repair ugh! Anyways, I was hoping to go back but will not. read more

See all

Mini fridge does not work. It doesn't keep anything cold. The speaker in the rooms is so cheap and low quality. Air conditioning in the rooms does not work. read more

Not worth the risk. To pay this much money to play a game of pool. I cannot imagine this place staying open for years. Like I was told by Customer Service. You're better off finding another place you'll love. In other words you most likely will never make this your favorite pool hall. read more

Amazing idea executed perfectly. Good job, thanks for supplying an inexpensive, well thought out, and attractive entertainment option for adults having fun and families too. read more

Booked the backroom table for an hour before we caught a movie down the block. Nice lounge all to yourself with fridge, bluetooth speakers and tv. Everything you need to hang out and have a good time with friends or family. All private too. Download the app! You need it to open the door to get in and out. read more

Was a bit skeptical of this Private pool room concept but after an evening in one of the rooms, I'm a believer! Awesome Valentine's date idea!! Me and my partner absolutely loved it. Extremely clean and such an awesome vibe for the night. Only regret is that we had was that we should've booked two hours instead of one! read more

Obsessed!!! This was such a good adventure for my friends and I - really nice to switch things up on a night out. We brought our own booze, played a few rounds, and had a ton of laughs. The rooms were super cool and chic, and I can't wait to go back again! read more
