This is the Stix formerly located on West Central, moved to 27th and S. Meridian.
Stix is first and foremost a pool hall. A gigantic one, at that (located in a former strip mall). Drinks are reasonably priced, the drink specials are great (Friday night 32oz tankards for 3.75!). Selection is enormous for south of Kellogg. 40 different Rums, 20 beers on tap, huge selection of domestics and imports (I even saw a 12 of Schlitz in the cooler, who the hell drinks Schlitz any more?)
The service is friendly and attentive, and they dress up for theme nights on Fridays. There is also poker 7 nights a week, but they are moving the poker lounge to a building in front of the main building to make room for more pool tables. If you are Karaoke-averse, this place NEVER has karaoke, so you can count on not having to listen to that on any night of the week. The interactive touch jukebox hosts a pretty good mix of music, and the patrons take full advantage of it. It's not uncommon to hear Travis Tritt, DevilDriver, Stevie Ray, Clutch, and Tom Waits within an evening, and no dirty looks from the staff (they're pretty open-minded about people playing what they want on their dime).
The menu is variations of traditional fare. Burgers, franks, sandwiches, appetizers. Most of it artery-clogging comfort goodness, but I can vouch the turkey sandwich on wheat is one of the best in town, as well.
Bar is pirate-themed, which adds to the fun, and the staff really get into the spirit of things. Also includes bike parking, for those of you out on a ride. The place is well large enough that you can come out on a busy night without getting claustrophobia. If you're looking for Old Town drink selection without the pretension and the premium prices, give this place a try. read more
