    I love to shoot pool, and thankfully there is a great pool hall close to my house. I've been coming here for years and have always had a great experience. There are plenty of nice tables, a good beer selection and the staff is always friendly. If you like shooting pool definitely stop in.

    Beautiful electric blue playing surface and clean, polished balls.

    Hands down the Best Pool Hall the Queen City has to offer. More Billiards Club than Bar; yet they also have good local beer on tap, and offer cheap specials on bottles, and outstanding "bar food". The kitchen far exceeds any expectations, with the Chicken Wings and Fried Mushrooms being some of the most treasured secrets. The tables show the perfect amount of wear, yet are meticulously maintained and better cared for than any other place you will visit (no dirty fingers after playing on these beauties!). They are level, clean, and well lit. World-Class manufacturers Diamond, Olhausen, and Brunswick are the standard here; and even a couple with tight pockets to really show off your skill or improve your game. The staff is warm and friendly, greeting you with a smile and Handling any request quickly. Plenty of league nights to keep you coming back, and a group of "regulars" that are both amazing to talk to and learn from. Save yourself some time, skip the rest, and come here. No other place in the Queen City compares.

If you take the light rail, it stops right in front of this location, so much more accessible. If you drive, there is plenty of parking in their parking lot to choose from (Score!). It's a fairly new spot, and I loved it. It's very spacious inside. Various of table seating and bar seating. They have a small stage for when they have a live band playing. They have 3 dart boards and 4 pool tables at no charge! Of course, they ask that you be considerate and let others get a chance to play. Went on a Friday night around 9 pm, and it was a decent crowd. I'm not too busy with plenty of space. They also offer a variety of board games and card games as well. We opted for UNO and had a blast playing that all night. Drinks were moderately priced and delicious. They also offer a basket of white popcorn for only $1! Love this new spot and will definitely be back for sure! A few last things are that dogs are welcomed on a leash, and they do not serve food, but you are more than welcome to receive deliveries here or bring your own.

    Had a little ski trip this weekend and stopped in to get lunch here and it was a great idea! The…read morevibe is great it is a nice little pool bar with some good food! The service was nice and attentive. It definitely is a smaller mom and pop type of restaurant but very fun! The TVs had good variety of Olympics and College basketball playing on them so you can catch whatever game or event you want to watch. Now on to the food! To start we got the onion rings. They were cooked very well and I liked the breading of them. I do wish they came with some house dipping sauce or maybe a spicy ranch just to dip them in. They do have ketchup to use but I just feel with onion rings you need some type of spicy ranch or aioli dip with them. Now onto the Fries! I love me some crinkle cut fries and once I saw they had them I needed to get them! They are pillowy with a slight crunch on the outside. They have salt and pepper at the tables to use I do like a bit of old bay or something of that nature on crinkle cut fries that would be my only critique. Now Burger time! I got a patty melt which had onions, cheese burger patty and I put mayo on it. I enjoyed it a lot I do wish the onions weren't red onions and that they would've been caramelized. But the burger itself was seasoned and cooked to perfection! The bread it was on as well was a good rye bread and blended well with everything. The hamburger with jalapeños was good as-well the only critique on that would be the bun. If it had a different bun it would take it to the next level I think. For playing Pool they charge by the hour I believe and the prices were very good! Overall a great little spot to go chill and eat while watching or playing pool and not having to burn a hole in your wallet! I would definitely recommend!

From the food, service and ambiance, it was a great first visit! They do not serve alcohol and that was a plus for us. No rowdiness at all. They rent the pool table by the hour and that is reserved for you until you check out! Great little gem tucked away in Foscoe! Highly recommend.
