This is one of our fav hidden gem, local billard bar. Prices for the darts and pool table is pretty cheap. Drinks are a great price. Food is also surprisingly good. We always get the fried pickles and they are a hit every time. The bar patrons are amazing, you can really get the local feel of it. Now the service is a diff story, you really do have to flag down the staff. But I personally don't mind it due to already setting those expectations that this isn't a 5 star establishment. You really come here to kickback and play games with yours friends. Highly highly recommend read more

Great tables. Great service and chill ambience. The food is priced reasonably and tastes good. There are pool leagues going on here on most Tuesday and Thursday. Would recommend 10/10. They also have darts, table tennis and some arcade games with a nice seating area. read more

Did not try the food, however the service was great. Really liked this place. An old school pool hall. Tables were really kept up. That was the first impression walking in. Will go back to try the food sometime. Great big open area with a ton of pool tables all size. read more

The Billiard Den - Pool Halls Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Love coming here with my love and friends. Many different pool tables, ping pong, foosball, and darts! Full menu and cheap beer. Will continue to come here even more that it's non-smoking! read more

First time visiting and I really enjoyed myself. The food was great as well as the service. I had the wing and fry basket and was not expected it to be as good as it was. There are plenty of pool tables and other games to play. I definitely will return and try some of the other things. I had the green tea shot and it taste amazing. Also great prices on drinks and specials read more

the pool table look great. would love to try it out sometime. how much is the hourly rate for the pool table?

Relaxed atmosphere with outstanding friendly customer service. It was surprisingly larger than I anticipated when I walked in. Obviously they have billiard tables everywhere, and they also have darts, but what tops this place off for me is that they have PING PONG TABLES!!! Went there with my friend on Thursday night and played ping pong. A great place to unwind! If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, this may not be a good option, also make sure to have your ID out and ready to be checked by the person at the front door. read more

The Billiard Den - a parking lot with cars parked in front of it - Pool Halls Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Classic Pool Hall in every sense of the term The Billiard Den is a pool hall like I grew up in. It's packed with good tables, lots of booze, regulars and smoke. Yes. You can smoke inside. For me, that deal breaker. But if you don't mind, this could be your next home to rack 'em up. The Happy Hour drink specials were good and seemed to keep the locals at the bar happy while we took a table in the large room where the cocktail servers kept us happy. We did not eat but enjoyed hours of great breaks, killer banks, some scratches and disappointing losses. It was all worth it. If it was not for the smoke, I would be back. Thank you for the opportunity. read more

I took my wife their for date night we had an awesome time their! The staff was great! food and drinks were just as good! read more

Customer service is nice. If you spend $20 before 7 or 8, your pool is free. Not too many people here. Just a bunch of older pool sharks having a few drinks and taking amazing shots. Tvs everywhere on the wall. Playing movies and sports. Customers can select music. Good chill environment. read more

This place is an absolute dump! They also allow smoking inside so prepare to stink with in minutes of walking in. Not a place I would recommend to anyone I like. I'm not much of a review guy so for me to take the time to post this means how bad this place was. Even had people hanging out side offering us drugs so beware. read more

The Billiard Den - Real classy place - Pool Halls Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Fun place to play pingpong/billiards but the bar staff lied about pricing and basically ripped me and my friends off for $6 Very petty and I didn't appreciate that. Won't be going back. read more

This place allows "smoking ". Not cigars at the bar. I've been to places that didn't allow or tolerate cigar smokers. There was ALWAYS a sign that had those instructions. I tried giving this place another chance after the drug stuff I SAW. Just disappointed. I was hoping for better. Stay away cigar smokers. Others, good luck. read more

This was a fun place to play pool. They have tables that use quarters or tables that you can pay by the hour. The rock music they were playing was decent too. The afternoon we went it was semi dead so our waitress hung out near us so it was very easy to order drinks from her. Be warned, people can smoke in here, and boy can you smell it. You will smell awful after leaving. read more

The place is good to play pool. Lots of table. I ordered an appetizer and it was very good, not fresh to be exact. The WORST part about my experience there was the waiter. The service was bad and i left a $3 tip which the waiter charged $13. Luckily my bank reached out to me because that was about 60% tip. Will never trust them. Note for the Manager I went there 12/8/2019 around 7 pm. The waiter was a brunette overweight women. read more

Greeted by signs that say no vests/patches. I do understand, there are plenty of 'biker-friendly' establishments that don't allow colors inside. That turns a lot of people off, but it happens. But this place goes even further. No shirts with any logos or any inkling at affiliation to anything of the sort. We went to check it out a few weeks ago as my (at the time) number one pick for my birthday party next month. Turn out is usually around 30+ people. Always a good crowd for an establishment. It's a shame too, I personally did like the place. It's big enough offers plenty to do, seems the smoke isn't too intense (but it was pretty empty that night) and the drink specials and prices were really good. It's just not somewhere all our friends are welcome, and therefore they would not attend. read more

If you read my review of Lonestar, you know I have some crazy darts lovin amigos. And darts lovers abound at Billiard Den. Which may also, according to my credit card company, be called Three Cushions Billiards. Not sure. They basically have pool, darts and electronic bar games. Oh, and the rockinest most well stocked jukebox ever. I used up my $2 and didn't even make it through the Cs alphabetically! This place has two dollar gin and tonics. Like, regularly, not even a happy hour special. That makes me happy. They even have good food- try their gourmet burger. As the menu states, "Gourmet means awesome." Amen. read more

This place was a C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E waste of time! The ow**r was i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-y RUDE to the people in my party, the drinks were watered down and there was a trashy vibe going on. That's pretty bad when 1 of the workers there TOTALLY agreed with me. WoW! Save your time/$......go elsewhere! What a joke! read more

Okay, so...if you just want to play pool and drink cheaply, this place is awesome. Went on Sunday night, free pool with a two drink minimum. A "drink" is $3 U-call its or soda. Their U-call its are awesome. Not just crappy well alchohol, they will Absolute, Cuervo or Jaeger you without batting an eye. The billiard tables are pretty nice and drunk ping pong (table tennis) was pretty awesome. I know I gave this place a pretty good rating but it was mainly for the cheap alchohol and our tattood covered waitress being extremely attentive, funny and sweet. DO NOT EAT HERE. The kitchen is an open kitchen where you can watch them fry up fat laden stuff right in front of your face...well....if you go back into the very dark part of the bar where there is no one. A couple of months ago, I was sitting in the dark waiting for a friend when I observed the owners son (he makes it very known who he is) pick his nose, wipe it on his pants and then proceed to pick up a hamburger bun. The nose picking...happened three times during my visit that day. Needless to say, I left that day and will never eat a bite of anything to come from their kitchen. The bouncer is a freaking joke. A bald redneck (I am redneck so I am allowed) with a serious attitude problem. When walking in, he says "This is a smoking bar folks, its the way we like it, if you don't, you can walk right out the door you came in." Lovely. That is great, we are all smokers...then he proceeded to poke out his chest and inform us that he is the law in "here" and that if we have a problem, he will be the one to deal with it and we "don't want none of that, 'cause it won't be no fun." So...stay away from the food and the crazy bouncer and on Sunday night, you can play pool and get drunk for $6 a person. Bueno. Oh and FYI, karoke nights are definately interesting. Great people watching. read more

Ok so I love this place. Why? Because it's kinda awesome. Lots of pool tables, and karaoke (with decent songs!). The people are friendly, it's an everyone knows your name kind of a bar and I mean honestly, if you're looking for some hoity toity bar to strut your skin tight low cut fresh off the rack glitzy dress then you probably wont enjoy yourself here. The drinks are inexpensive, the atmosphere is comfortable, the pool players are forgiving (which is necessary for a backwards novice -note understatement- like me) and it's really just a place to have a good fun time with no pretenses. 4 stars because I had to wince and raise my eyebrows a few times while downing my drinks, but hey, it gets the job done. read more

Real laid back place and down-to-earth staff and patrons. Service was good despite our coming before a shift change. Came on a Sunday right before 5p so the night staff was still just showing up. I want to say it was the owner that came up and checked our IDs. She had a heavy smoker's voice and a cigarette in her hand (lol!). Extremely nice. She explained the specials and gave us newbies a tour of the place. We decided on darts in the "man cave" room for the privacy. We ordered drinks and the chips and queso. Queso was yummy but could've used more chips as we ran out of chips before dip. The Sunday special is spend $10 minimum per person to get an 8ft pool table free for the evening just in case that's a change from the past. Docked a star due to the smoke (it does hit you when you enter), however, because the place is so large, the ventilation is a lot better than smaller billiards bars. Love the way the place is laid out. Music is provided via juke box so it's mainly country and rock (leans more toward the latter thankfully). Will most likely be back to this very chill spot. read more

Stinky smell. Don't respect karaoke turns. Will not be back. Many more karaoke places in Dallas before this one.

Came here with my big bro and friends to play some pool and darts. The Billiard Den has many pool tables so you won't ever have to wait for a table. Felt was nice and clean. They have specials through out the week which seemed reasonable. Shoutout to Johnson L. for losing to me in pool and darts lol read more

Great drinks and the regulars are cool and funny people. It is now a non smoking bar which made it even better for this non-smoker. Love it and will definitely be back! Tons of pool tables and even ping pong. The food is typical bar food but it was pretty good. Their burgers are one of the best. read more

The Billiard Den was surprisingly larger than I anticipated when walking in the front door. Be sure to have your ID out and ready to be checked by the person at the front door. We got there pretty early so it was quite empty and we had our pick of tables near the dart boards. It's been ages since I've played steel tip darts so that was a nice change of pace, not to mention there were score boards and free darts to use in exchange for them holding your ID. The drinks were extremely cheap which was also a positive. If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, this may not be a good option, but there is so many options of things to do here from playing pool on several different sized tables, darts, video games, and even karaoke that everyone can be pleased. I hope to come back here one day again. read more

This is one of my go to bars. Brandy, Walker, Al and Jen are the best bartenders. They have great drink specials and a fun atmosphere. I've been going for years and my friends and I love coming here. read more

Last night will be my last night in this place. A couple hours into a bday party (the only reason I was there), a worker accused me of smoking weed in the bathroom. After I denied it and pointed out that not only was I not but no one else was (there was no smell) another worker came over, crouched next to my chair (so close that she would have smelled it if I'd been smoking weed) and wanted me to 'level with her'. She told me that the cops were coming/there already (unsure of which, I was right by the speakers) a fact that didn't bother me since, as I'd stated numerous times, I *hadn't been smoking anything other than my cigars*! After she seemed to be convinced, she then pointed to another chick and asked if it was her. At that point, I figured she was either stupid or on some mission of some sort as I'd plainly said multiple times that I didn't even smell anything off in the air. I was pissed and we decided to leave. Anyhow, I rarely go here for various reasons and only ever go now for a friend's yearly party. After last night's humiliating, rude behavior, I won't even be going back for that. read more

Great place to play darts, pool, ping pong, pin-ball, arcade among other things... huge place, great drink prices.

Relaxed atmosphere with outstanding friendly customer service. Known mostly for their pool tables which I can play for hours on however they also have a few ping pong tables along with darts. Don't forget to keep track of time though. read more

It's your typical dive pool hall. That's not what I have an issue with. They still allow smoking there... well Its in Richardson. We never had a server stop by. And when it was 1;30 drinks were stopped being served. -not the answer folks want to hear when youre celebrating a birthday. read more

Huge dive bar with everything you would expect + ping pong. I go karaoke on Tuesday nights and sing there. I'm not sure if the huge space makes the sound not carry or the system is just set up that way but sometimes I wish they would tweak the system a little; it sounds too low I think. Anyways, 2 dollar domestic drafts and I think some shot specials which I wouldn't recommend unless you don't mind well alcohol. OH! BRANDY (bartender) IS AWESOME! read more

Pool tables galore.... dart boards plentiful..... karaoke a hoot, service fast and friendly. Food is bar food but not unbearable but did I mention this bar still allows smoking? SCORE for the home team! :-) Bathroom is lit up like Vegas and the full length mirror in the ladies room is like a clown mirror! It makes me shorter than I really am and wider than I think I really am but if you look at your reflection in the hand dryer vent it makes you look way taller and skinnier than you really are so it's a great balance! In all seriously we really like this place. Never a bad time and never drama. read more

Tables seriously need to be refelted. There are nicks all over them and a sheen on them from hands being on them. I wouldnt even think about ording from a waitress as they were not attentive and slow. Pours were small and several people i was with said they couldnt even taste liquor in their drinks. They do have good drink specials during the week but for the size of the shots i dont really consider it that special. I really used to like it but something has changed. This place could be great with a little extra effort. read more

I would give them a zero start if it is an option. One of the servers (Kim) refused to serve our party(party of 10) in multiple visits in there, and when we asked about the reasons she said I don't want to serve because I just dont want to. I believe its a racial issue while on the other hand, she were serving the table beside us! in one of the visit, I had friend of mine coming for the down in a visit from Houston and I felt very embarrassed because of this situation . I would not go to this horrible place again as This servant (Kim) and the management of this place disrespected and discriminated us by all means. read more

Conveniently located in northern Richardson with a large, growing amount of regular customers. You will recognize many familiar faces each and every time you visit this establishment. Customer loyalty is a testament to the quality of service and the positive vibration at The Billiard Den in Richardson. Although there is traditionally a high amount of employee turnover in the service industry, this is not the case at the Den. Virtually the entire staff are long-term employees. Jenn, Al, Brandy, or Walker are usually the faces you will find managing the bar, while servers and cocktail waiters serve the rooms & guests. The team obviously has a strong dynamic. They do a great job maintaining order and keeping a visually/aesthetically pleasing image throughout the club. I highly recommend bringing guests to the den, as they are made to feel right at home and treated as family. Almost every person I've brought has a guest has since returned multiple times. They have great drink specials and it's one of the only clubs in town that permits smoking. This is a turn off for many, but ultimately not a deal breaker for most. Personally, I can understand both sides of the case, but for the case of argument, I believe that people are very comfortable and enjoy having the liberty to smoke inside. Even if you don't like cigarettes, vaporizers and cloud blowing is pop culture and everyone is doing it. The owner, Marcy, has done a great job at creating a brand for The Billiard Den. Patrons have the freedom/ability to choose between playing on Billiard's tables of all types and sizes, ranging from 6' quarter tables ($1/per game), to 7", 8", or 9" snookers. It is the only bar in Dallas with 2 ping pong tables, and they are both brand new and were professionally installed around black Friday 2017. There are a growing number of regulars who play ping pong here. Accordingly, they offer a weekly, double elimination, bracket style table tennis tournament that takes place Wednesday nights at 8 pm. The entrance fee is $10 and it generally gets a solid turn out. There are also many professional grade dart boards available for use, as well as a private man cave that can be reserved for events. There are leagues for pool, darts, and corn hole. There are karaoke nights twice a week and they are always a hoot! $3.50 Crown & Downs 3 nights a week is definitely enough to generate a cult following in these parts! Prepare yourself for a good time with great people at The Billiard Den. Be careful though, as you might just get hooked to this kind of service... I know I sure did. You have officially been forewarned--I hope to see you there soon! read more

Love this place. Always a good time, tons of regulars, lots of my local RHS peeps. The best maintained pool tables in town, and drink prices are fantastic. What more could you want. Oh and kitchen is open late for when the munchies hit read more

Went here last night, lots to do. Pool, ping pong, darts, and they had a special on drinks so it was really cheap. Al was our bartender and he kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. Great service. Good experience. read more

This place is AWESOME! I was visiting from Hawaii and was looking for a good pool room with a bar & great food. Thanks to yelp users I selected The Billiard Den for the ratings & comments (and smoking is allowed-CHEEHOO!). If you're looking a bar with a relaxed hometown feel, great homemade tasting food & prices and great hospitality, THIS IS IT! From the moment I walked in I was greeted by Marcy (owner) and Brandy (bartender/waitress). They were so friendly and down to earth, and talked with me as I had my lunch (AWESOME honey bbq & lemon pepper wings with fries-just like mom would make for game days!). I told them I was from out of town and chose them from looking on yelp. I then got to meet the infamous Kim (waitress). Kim is great! We had a good laugh about the comments I read about her on yelp, but those people must just be a55h0L35 or babies. She's a REAL, grounded & hardworking woman who says it like it is; if you cant handle it, oh well, check yourself. This place was so great I stayed to watch the dart tournament and pool league in the evening and had dinner there too (Philly Cheese Steak-SOOO GOOD). All the patrons were so friendly and respectful to each other; great southern values and hometown style (quite akin to the Aloha Spirit) A few people struck up conversations with me even though they didn't know me. Aloha Charlie, I didn't get to thank you before I left since you were playing in the pool league. Brandy (lunch waitress) & Eleanor (dinner waitress) both gave excellent service and recommendations. MAHALO NUI (great big thank you!) to Marcy (thank you for the t-shirt souvenir), John, Brandy, Kim, Eleanor, Kiki, Steve (patron who let me play 9-ball with him), and all of the staff! I hope to visit again if I make it back near Richardson. Lawrence, thank you to you too-RIP. I wanted to add that the pool room is very spacious with lots of great tables, not cheap stuff, well maintained with fast cloth (Simonis?). The only room I've ever been to with bar, 7', 8', 9' & snooker tables, darts & ping pong (if there's no dart tournament going on). Prices are so reasonable too. The regulars I spoke to keep coming back for the same reasons I spoke of in my other post, even though they live up to an hour away. read more

My friend and I were having a great night playing some table tennis and my friend left the waitress a more than 100% tip because she reminded him of his mom. I had one beer and my friend had a topo Chico which is a non alcoholic beverage. Upon exiting the facility a bouncer or ID checker whatever you want to call it told my friend not to be stupid and carry out an open container outside of the bar. Once again topo Chico is a non-alcoholic sparkling water beverage for anyone who is not aware. This man proceeds to insult the intelligence of my friend and I and argues with my friend about taking it outside. We start to get irritated and finally when I say I'm a customer to the guy he says I'm the owner and I don't care then I started to get mad. This man I'm pretty sure is not the owner and he is just an ID checker. He told me you can leave right now and then proceeded to tell my friend if I'm not drunk then I am just an asshole. That is a very nice ending to a very good evening especially given the fact that my friend tipped $25 on the $23 tab. I hate pricks who try to be macho and bully other people it is disgusting. I have never seen a bar in my life prevent somebody from exiting with a non-alcoholic beverage that is just absurd. This guy is a ginger dude with a beard. If you like to disrespect and treat your customers like they're shit after they've had an enjoyable stay at your place then go ahead and come here. Unfreaking believable read more
