I went during a huge event, the place was packed. The staff was literally running! Despite seeing the line around the building, a few people were complaining and the staff handled it way better than I would have! We ordered food and it was a nice surprise. Very tasty and a solid value. We are adding it to our rotation even though it's a bit further than our usual haunts. I would not hesitate to recommend them for food or drinks! Sorry, I don't play pool, so no comment there. 5.1 stars out of 5! read more

Lots of great eats on the new menu inspired by Chef Larry. I promise this is a spot you'll want to add to your must visit list ASAP. Each dish is intentionally crafted using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible. The flavors were outstanding and there's something for everyone- from the vegan cauliflower ceviche to the kangaroo burger. Plus drink specials like Micro Mondays and Whiskey Wednesdays. We'll be back soon! read more

We ordered three drinks each that should have been almost doubles and the bartender did not make the drink right. We spent over 200$ and didn't even get a buz. Either watered down or those were singles only. Not worth it. read more

Super yummy food. The flauntas are soft but crispy they are so yummy and were my pregnancy craving lol! They take their food seriously in there and have a margarita discount day with very good margs! Fun and dim place where there is always people but loud enough you can bring your kids in a booth without being a bother. Accommodating servers and looks like a fun spot to go for an adult birthday haha read more

We rented out a space here for my son's high school graduation party! The service was beyond great! The food was delicious and there was so much. We had around 40 people coming and going and they were all impressed with the service as well. We paid for a semi-private room w/our own server who went above and beyond what we expected. I'm telling everyone to reserve parties here. They did a fantastic job. -Class of 2024 read more

There's a sign right when you walk in basically saying they're short staffed and be prepared for long waits and poor service. I get it. These are trying times. But even graded on a curve and relative to other like businesses it's pretty janky. 10-15 minute wait to put in a drink order. Another 5-10 to get said drinks. What're you going to do? Service was friendly and it's not their fault. Mixed drinks were incredibly watered down. I actually sobered up drinking my $8.50 Long Island Iced Tea. No lie. Overwhelming sweetness and couldn't detect a drop of alcohol. GF's drink was the same. Sad! Beer and cider was fine and I'd suggest going this route. Pool tables are decent and there's a wide availability of 7' and 9' tables. Not a lot of cues to choose from however, and chalk was hard to find. Getting a table also meant working through bartenders which was painfully slow as described above. Prices are reasonable. Overall vibe is relaxed with lots of mixed couples having mostly wholesome good times. There's a little lounge on the side where they hosted a comedy night. This was pretty dang cool. Really good space and the promoter did a great job moving things along and churning out the yuks and guffaws. We ordered drinks over here too and it was kinda a big deal for them to connect with our existing tab in the pool area, and then it took 15-20 to get the drinks which were basically virgin so this ultimately sucked. Nice server though. Genuine and friendly if completely over-whelmed. There was a dog running around off leash when we were in there and going behind the bar. This was cute and kinda gross in equal measure. More gross now that I think back on it in a state of full-on sobriety. In any case, thought it was worth mentioning. read more

I've been here a number of times, they even hosted a Yelp event. They have an awesome selection of beer. Some taps are even local Spokane breweries. Food is usually your typical pub style fare. Nothing extraordinary, but it's always been decent. They did have deep fried bacon with a sausage gravy dipping sauce this last time...Sure, it's not healthy, but it was darn good. Service has varied from exceptional to average. It has never been bad and only once would I consider it average. Pool tables and other games are available to keep you busy. read more

Impeccable service from this pretty bartender,great beer and nice quality pool tables

Great pool atmosphere! There is an attached lounge that is geared to the more romantic, dimly lit and private area. Food was amazing. Had the Alligator Fried Rice and the Alligator burger (pictured). Both were amazing and flavorful. Was there with many friends and family. No one left disappointed. read more

Great menu and strong drinks. Lots of pool tables that are in great shape and find atmosphere.

Delicious garlic tots and fries. Service is always good and pool is always necessary when visiting.

This is my 2nd year experiencing the best Mac offered in Spokane & CDA. The Black Diamond options never disappoint! From last year's Waffle cone to this year's street tacos. If you're looking for a casual hangout with good food, pool tables & shuffle boards this is the place to be. read more

If you like to play pool, this is definitely a good place to go. Lots of room and lots of tables. Despite what one reviewer said, the tables all seemed to be in good shape to me. They also have a dedicated darts area out of the way. This is a plus for me because it seems a lot of places put their dartboards close to where people are sitting or in the path of staff and customer traffic, making game play a frustrating experience. Also impressed with their wide variety of beers. Spokane is starting to come into its own as a microbrew destination, and the more places like Black Diamond that support craft brews the better. Unfortunately, the food is pretty average if not kinda disappointing. Nachos had everything pretty much on top, which means that soon all the goodies were gone and you were left with a ton of sad chips. Taking the time to layer chips and goodies should be taken into consideration, especially for the price of the nachos. Cheese sticks. Very ordinary. Tasted like something I could have gotten out of the freezer section of the grocery store, complete with freezer burn. Wings. Standard flavor, again tasted like something from the grocery store. All the food seems to have a premium price without much real effort on preparation. I want to end on a positive note, so I will say the staff is all very friendly and they did a good job of tending to our needs. I will probably be back to play pool and have beer, but probably won't order much food. read more

Thought that we'd support a freedom loving business this Sunday evening but our presence was not even acknowledged so we probably won't be missed. There was not a huge crowd in the place but people were there. Sign at the door said to seat ourselves so we did. In the 15 minutes we waited to be noticed, we saw only two staff. One girl was really hustling, the other was really NOT! We didn't see anything at table indicating it was self service but we went to the bar to get menus. The not hustling girl saw us then proceeded to pick up her phone. After another 3-4 minutes we walked out. Yes, being closed or being restricted is on the governor but bad, bad, bad service is in them! Tough to support a business that is indifferent to our business. read more

Went here for a ladies night out recently. The food was so good, I was really surprised because it's just a bar/restaurant. The service was great too, attentive, but not annoying. read more

I was visiting Spokane and went with a friend to watch a pool tournament. We got there early and I got to watch the last half of the Seahawks game. In fact the game was everywhere. Between a couple of projection systems and a large number of flat screens, you could be anywhere in the bar and look in any direction to see the game. It looked like they accommodated a couple of private viewing parties. I was there for the pool. The pool room layout was great. Plenty of room between the tables. The tourney tables were is really good shape with the upgraded tops. I ordered off the Seahawks happy hour menu. They were out of the fried macaroni so I ordered the tots and the skewers. The Tots were ok. Could have used a bit more bacon and blue cheese but it was good. The only reason I took a star from the review was the beef skewers. One had three pieces of gristle meat and the other had two pieces of meat. I kind of got the feeling they were mostly out and threw this last order together. Our server, Courtney and Ethan were great. read more

Service is absolute trash. The attitudes from some of the women there, is unbelievable. Waited nearly an hour for food. There was barely anyone there when we put our food order in... Our server told us "she was more focused on the other 2 large groups than our table". She came by when we first got there. And 1 other time, out of the 3 hours we were there. Drinks were so watered down by the time we even got them. ‍ reminds me of why we never enjoy going here! read more

Don't bother with this place! We came here while our car was being serviced and we based our decision on their website which showed a happy hour. The happy hour menu showed food they don't have on their regular menu. We asked for a happy hour menu and our "first day" Bartender doesn't know anything about a happy hour menu. I bring up their website and show him. He places our order and comes back a few minutes later saying his boss told him "we have no happy hour and none Of the food you ordered is available" WTF!! I understand covid has changed menus and what not, but really!! Update your website or educate your staff! We would have gone elsewhere! Sad, as we really Would have liked this place! read more

My husband and I go in there alot and today we went in and the bartender knew that we were there because she put a glass in the dishwasher and we knew that she had another couple before us but she went on to serve the people dropping off pool balls and taking care of them. We waited like 10 minutes and still no service so we left. read more

Still very much a fan without any second thoughts .. although I was starving and the Chicken Quesadilla took like forever .. but then it was nice or may be I was super hungry .. I don't care. :) Since we are often in a group playing pool and all .. we have a super awesome experience every time. The pool tables are nice .. I mean as good as it could get with so many people playing every day. And the catch is to take a little gap in between the visits so that it remains enjoyable as ever .. read more

We've been here for an hour and counting and have yet to see a server.. they were pretty slow maybe 20 people in the building. Used to love the nachos but I can't wait for 2 hours for a hello and a menu... she told us she was coming back and then clocked off.. read more

We had a celebration of life here on Saturday and had amazing service to accommodate our needs and wants! Brandon was hands on to help us. Our bartender, Brian, and the server, Angel, were there for our every need with speed and humor while tending to the large number of guests at our event. And if comments to me are any gauge to the food we had them cater there, then Chef Larry and his crew can take a well-deserved bow! Bravo Black Diamond! read more

Inslee shut us down again but the black diamond never stops! They are currently doing only take out. We had "The beast" and "Jalapeño burger" soooooo amazing! The buns hold up and are the perfect thickness. One thing I dislike about some burgers is when you eat them the patty falls out or it just falls apart. These held together perfectly. The survived the 10 min drive home and were not soggy at all. They have burger pattys with different types of meat. The regular is chuck, brisket, and shortrib all ground together. SO GOOD!!! PLEASE SUPPORT THEM ESPECIALLY DURING THESE TIMES! Easily best burgers I have ever had! Sorry no photo we dove in and could not stop! PS I am also a very picky eater. ALSO they are doing free delivery within 5 mile radius currently! read more

I've had an account on yelp for a long time, unfortunately my first review is a bad one. I've been here multiple times and have had great service, however tonight was awful. We've never experienced such bad service like this in the past or anywhere else. Couple friends were up there early around 5pm, and they were able to get a table and order their drinks. However by the time the rest of our crew arrived, no server came by our area to even check on us. We had to go to the bar to make an order for more drinks. Couple hours went by and still not a single server came by or even acknowledge we were there. We had to go back and make our food order at the bar. We decided to try and order the Garlic Parmesan Fries to start which you think will be an easy one to make; by the time we got it, it was stale and at a room temperature. We requested couple waters from the server that brought our food, and she never came back. We had to go back to the bar again for our waters. It's like we had to be our own servers, or like we weren't even there. It took three hours for someone to come check on us, by then we were ready to leave. I am surprised we were patient enough to wait that long as well. It's going to take me a while to go back, if I do. read more

I have to preface I'm a pool player and have spent many, many hours here, both for league and practice. It's a very large establishment with (I believe) 16 ish pool tables, half are 7' and the other half are 9'. This is the only pool hall I know in Spokane with 9' tables. As far as I know, they refelt their tables each year with the Simonis 860 tournament blue. It's one of the few places where the table costs $0.75 for the 7' and the 9' costs is by time aka it's more expensive on the whole. It's second rate to another establishment based on the tables alone. Other things to do: there are three dart boards, large TV's, a shuffleboard, additional large areas for dancing and (not sure if they still do this) trivia. There's a pot store right next door so I guess you can get some pot and then walk across the street to WinCo which is open 24/7 to get munchies afterwards. As far as food and service...food is slightly better than most other bar food, but it's also more expensive so no thanks. Service is hit or miss, but mostly miss. Unless it's Natalie. She's had a lot of experience serving pool players, has spunk and will take care of you! read more

Great service, great food, great drinks, and a fun place to hang out. I'm giving 5 stars, but I do have one small issue. My fish & chips serving size was pretty small. I'm not a huge eater and I finished every bit and picked at my hubbys fries. A little pricey for the portion. Super tasty though! I also love supporting local owners who care about the community. Highly recommend! read more

Pros: The beer selection and our waitress Cons: The expensive pool and shuffle board. Also, I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap that was on special for $7.99. I mistakenly assumed it came with a side of fries. My hubby wanted a side of garlic fries that was $6. Guess what? I didn't get a side. My hubby's fries came on my plate, which was not a big deal, but there were maybe 20 fries on our plate. So, we paid $14 for my dinner and neither of us got full. Boo. read more

I am really glad these folks had the balls to open, really! Sadly, if you're going to open, YOU had better have the staff to back it up. Waited an hour... a full hour, after ordering and our food STILL didn't come, IT NEVER DID ! NEVER AGAIN...EVEN IF THEY ARE THE ONLY RESTAURANT OPEN!!!!! You had a real opportunity and f*cked it up something fiece, wish I could give a lower score for their STUPIDITY! read more
