True pool halls are hard to come by these days, but they do exist. They are (usually) exclusively…read moreadult, human environments in a time when so many places strive to be "kid and dog friendly" (eesh). Golden Fleece has an Eastern European (Georgian) vibe, as evidenced by the menu and some staffing choices. I like that it's not all typical bar food here, Prices are fair, drinks are strong, and service is quick and friendly. I would love to see more Georgian food and drink on the menu, like dumplings, kubdari, kharcho, achma maybe, a real qababi to go with the plov... and how about a chacha- based cocktail? The tables and cues can be somewhat unkempt. We had to hunt considerably for straight cues with good tips, and brush our table free of debris. Tip: opt for a table further from the front entrance, for better equipment selection. This part of the experience needs improvement, but should be an easy fix. The music can be too loud and, frankly, too much of one genre. I feel they are trying to ride a line between nightclub and pool hall, to attract younger clientele. This may be tough on players that need relative quiet to concentrate. All and all, a fun time. I cannot say that it is a "clean" hall, either figuratively or literally, but I can say that at least at this point in time, it's still approachable to those just looking for a drink and a nibble while shooting a game or two with friends, with minimum drama. Give 'em a shot! ;)

We came here after a comedy show for the after party and it was a great time. There are tons of…read morepool tables as you can imagine and the spacing was quite nice. There was a distinct part of the place for pool, a separate darts area, and then of course the front bar area with high tables that were great for eating at and socializing. Walking through the pool area to get to the bathroom, I didn't feel like I was going to ruin anyone's shot. I ordered at the bar upon entering and grabbed one of these tall tables for our group. They knew where we were stting as the food came right out to us. The menu is regular bar food and it is not too bad. The bathrooms themselves were decently clean. The staff was friendly and eager to serve us. There is also an entire basement filled with pool tables that we did not check out. This place is open late so a good option for a late night hang.

We were in a large group and as soon as we launched through the door, we were met with curious eyes!

However, as we enjoyed some libations and a bit of pool... we were the ones joining the locals with eyes filled with awe and curiosity! A very young wedding party showed up and took the bar over but in a very cordial way. Many locals stayed but we left, given the gift of fun for the wedding crew!

They have air hockey and a decent selection of video games and pinball. I suggest bringing cash to exchange for quarters on the change machines that are there. There is an ATM machine that takes a physical credit/debit card to withdraw cash to exchange for quarters but I'm guessing they'll charge a fee. Check their open hours online. In general, all ages are welcome until 8pm. Beer, cider, non-alcoholic drinks are available and a few other goodies. Including 2 groovy bathrooms on site that are of course covered with stickers. Such a super cool and fun place! I think you'll get a kick out of it, too.

Fifty minutes later, as other tables arriving after us were getting food, we asked for a status. We were told our order had been lost and nothing was prepared. In 40 years of outside dining, I've had a few wrong orders but never one lost. Was our expectation that the kitchen would prioritize our order next, inappropriate? We didn't think so, but our server needed to 'talk' to the kitchen. The manager came and said that our expectation would be 'rude' as she spread-out her hands to indicate the number of pending orders. Apparently, having a table unnoticed for 50 minutes with a lost order not discovered until we asked - was not 'rude' I was completely bewildered at her response. There was no attitude of apology. As we left, the manager said 'have a good day' with a tone that said - you don't know how bad my day has been. I say, if you don't have resources to provide proper service, don't seat people. At 12:30 today, this restaurant was in complete chaos. BTW, we ate at a Mexican restaurant Playa Bonita (new to me). Good food, great prices, wonderful service. After driving an hour north for lunch with my sister, the day was not a complete loss

We will be back soon to try more of their menu.

It was a bit far to travel from the South (traffic! Ugh!) but it was worth it. The staff were super helpful and thankful for us visiting last. We felt very welcome and had fun mingling, eating and playing virtual games throughout the evening. They were also great cheerleaders to all our sporting attempts! We were able to try many of their virtual TruGolf games like golf, soccer, bowling, target practice, etc. as they had about 6 (?) giant areas with comfy couches, armchairs, and coffee tables. There is also a pool table, a few dart boards, a bar area to sit when not playing games and a couple of vending machines. There is something here for all tastes. This place is worth a visit for all of the above reasons and it's supporting a local business with a unique venue. Great for groups or a family gathering. Open to all ages.

Therefore, I have no intentions of returning to Empire Billiards.
