Have a great time here. The staff is always super friendly. Reasonably priced. Fun atmosphere.

My wife and I attended a birthday celebration at this fine establishment. From the time we walked through the door everyone that works there was personable and friendly. The drinks were delicious and carefully prepared never had to wait for a drink.The pool tables were in great shape and well maintained. The inside of the bar was clean and neat. We can't wait to return!!! read more

Nice drive bar with lots of space and games. They have a couple of pool tables, darts and a stage for karaoke. Drinks weren't too pricey and people are nice enough. I would go back with a groups to just hangout and play some games or alone to hear people sing. read more

This is a rating based on recent Tuesday night visits. I've been to TCB on weekends when they have live bands and it's a great atmosphere! Billiards, darts, live music, full bar with good selection of craft beer,; what else could you want for a great time? How about some of the best chicken wings you've ever had?!! I know. You'd never think of coming to this place for wings but take it from someone who's had wings in lots of places, these were great! and they're baked! With homemade sauces. The bar menu is small but The owner takes great pride in his wings and sauces. You won't be disappointed! Back to Tuesdays. They recently started karaoke there from 7:00 pm with great food specials. Don from D3 Entertainment, who hosts in a few places around the area, hosts and sings a few, too. If you're lucky you may even hear the owner crooning! read more

See all

A standard bar with pool tables and dart boards. The first thing you'll notice about this place is that it's in an oddball location. It's on a side road in an industrial zone. It's small and easy to miss, unless you're paying close attention. I came here with a friend to shoot some pool and grab a few drinks. The bartenders were friendly and several people at the bar were watching some football games. Even though it wasn't very busy, it got a bit rowdy at the bar. Not obtrusive, but certainly on the lively side. They kept playing Who Let the Dogs Out after good plays and touchdowns. That got a little old after a while. The pool tables and cue sticks were in good condition. The only thing that I have to say is that the prices for pool and drinks were moderate. I was expecting it to be a bit cheaper based on the reviews. Pool (for two) and three standard drinks came to 50 bucks. I've certainly paid less for the same at many other places. I wouldn't mind meeting someone here to go out, but I wouldn't recommend going out of you way to come here. Especially given how many other bars there are in the area. read more

I am privileged to be the first to add this establishment to Yelp. I can think of bars that are cooler, bars that have a better beer selection, bars that are more charming, bars that have better food....But as far as a good place where you can hang out with your friends, knock back a few beers and play some pool, and not get ripped off in the process... this place is perfect for me. It's like that comfortable pair of sweats that you want to wear when you're relaxing at home. They have six beers on tap. Two of them are the often obligatory Bud & Miller Lite, but on this occasion, they also had Guinness, Blue Moon, Sam Oktoberfest and a delicious Red Hook Late Harvest on tap. They also have a variety of other bottled beers. The bartender was a nice guy, and took good care of us. We went on a Sunday, and what a deal you get on Sunday, folks. You can get Bud or Miller Lite on tap for just $2 a glass (I think the Late Harvest might have been $4 a glass, but still not a bad deal and well worth it). The pool is half price, and if memory serves, I think they have ten tables. And, umm... oh yeah, free food. Lots of it. On this occasion, they had a crapload of delicious Buffalo Wings, Ziti and some delicious stromboli style roll-ups. My wife and I definitely got our fill. I believe my wife and I polished off around 7 or 8 beers, played 2 hours of pool with our friends, watched the Jets game and polished off a few plates of grub, all for around 30 bucks (before the tip). You can't beat that with a stick. So Sunday is a great day to go... but they also have other happy hour deals. One more nice little touch I have to mention... they have one of those traditional popcorn makers where you are welcome to serve yourself a nice basket of fresh popcorn, and you can top it off with Lowry's Season Salt. That stuff is addicting, and goes very well with the beer. And you'll particularly dig this place if you're a fan of the King. TCB standing for, of course, Taking Care of Business, the name Elvis bestowed upon his band. The place is festooned with Elvis memorabilia on the walls. And if I can say so myself, I think this is a place Elvis himself would have enjoyed. It's a place I thoroughly enjoy, although unlike the Big E, I don't plan on dying on the crapper... at least not here, anyway. Any negatives? Well, the only negative I can come up with was I saw a family bring their young daughter in (now THAT's classy). But you can hardly hold that against the establishment. The fact is I really enjoyed my game day over there, and I plan on going there on many more Sundays in the future. read more

Great place to hang out, shoot some pool, play darts... Beers and drinks are cheap and the have nightly drink and shot specials. (Usually dollar SoCo shots or something of the sort) They have good happy hours and fun karaoke nights that draw in big crowds. All in all a really great place to escape the typical bar scene. read more

Very nice spot to play pool and have a drink. Didn't try any of the food this trip, but will definitely return for day drinking and fun. Nice little spot! read more

I joined my favorite karaoke friend for a fun night of karaoke in a new spot because Patty Shock is awesome! We would follow her for karaoke anywhere! I was terribly disappointed by the wait staff at this venue. The waitress went out of her way to ignore us the entire night. She was warm and friendly with the regulars, but wouldn't even acknowledge we were in the building. The other issue was that you couldn't order food because their cooking area wasn't ready for food service. They had people order delivery from local places. We finally went to the bar to order something to drink. 3 stars were for Patty! This place gets 0 for customer service, broken oven, and treating new comers like the have the plague. read more

The location of this place is bizarre and definitely deters any out of town-ers from coming in. I don't mean tourists, I literally mean anyone from outside of the North Haven area. If you don't know about this place, you'd never know it existed and you'd never stumble upon it. I've lived in New Haven County for 26 years and didn't know it existed until last year. Now that being said, I wasn't missing out on anything, so I don't particularly care, it's just worth noting. It serves it's purpose. As the name insinuates, it's a bar & billiards, and it does a good job meeting that expectation. Their drinks are good as long as you're not coming here expecting a fruity cocktail..order a beer or a vodka soda, shoot some pool, and call it a night. I wouldn't come here by choice, but if you have cabin fever in the dead of winter and want to socialize without actually being seen by the general public, this is a good option. A great spot to show up in a hoodie, leggings, boots (we're all guilty, ladies) and have some super cheap drinks with friends. Basically what I'm saying is I've been here twice and have no plans on coming back, but if someone wanted to meet here for drinks I wouldn't have an issue with it. read more

Great place to go and relax, Play some pool or throw some darts. Fun Friday nights with DJ in house and sometimes have Live Bands on the weekends and events like Paint Night. Great staff and drinks. Definitely a good spot to check out, only knew about it because I worked so close and passed on my way home. read more

TCB is undergoing a little bit of transformation. As always, it's a great place for a couple of beers and a rack or two of pool. In addition to that though it's also a great place for a couple of games of darts. The Beer selection is pretty much standard for a dart/pool bar: Bud, Bud Lite, Sam, Sam Seasonal. In addition to that TCB also carried Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA in bottles or cans. Jay and Shannon are pretty knowledgeable about beer too. read more

My very first time here on a rainy Monday night...the karaoke was great HOWEVER....the wait service was disgusting. I came in and sat at a back table a little before 8pm...and observed a petite blonde barmaid/waitress/server type wearing a dark hoodie and a plaid shirt around her waist flounce around catering to every table - the two tables in front of mine - while never coming over to welcome us or check on our table - even as she cleaned off the table directly in front of mine she never acknowledged us - at all. The young guy in the plaid shirt behind the bar was very nice - because after sitting and being ignored for 15 minutes I went to the bar...to order...Thumbs DOWN to this oblivious little girl - perhaps intentionally done because there's no way she didn't see us sitting right next to the table she just cleaned off...blonde moment? Not. Hmmm....SO...1 star for the nice guy behind the bar and 1 for karaoke. Otherwise: read more

Drinks are WEAK and watered down. I've complained to bartenders and management but then they charge me for an extra shot instead of making a real drink! Pool is way too expensive. Music sucks most of the time. Bartenders on The weekends (The 2 girls) are snotty and rude. The only good thing i can say is it's a great location. Way better place before the new management. read more
