    salad with chicken skewer
    Seliya G.

    Love this new billiards bar. It is upscale and roomy and has great vibes. There's 4 (7-foot) tables on the first floor and 4 (2 7-foot, 2 9-foot standard) tables on the second floor. There's lots of space to play and a dark sophisticated vibe. There is a waitlist for the pool tables and you have to ask the hostess to put you on the list. It is definitely a bit more expensive than the other bars but the vibe is not divey like most bars that have pool tables, thus i think it justifies the price. There's lots of tables to drink, eat and hangout at! The food is surprisingly good and a good selection of cocktails & 2 mocktails on the menu. I especially liked the cheese bread, reminded me of the ones you get at Brazilian bbq!

    We've officially made the move for our weekly billiards night and not looking back. The management and staff are top notch here, the tables are immaculate, there are a number of nine foot tables and the spacing is a luxury. While I don't partake my friends are big fans of the well-appointed bar, and impressive kitchen bites. On top of this they have great music, great lighting, and we've seen everything from date nights to boys nights to girls nights to a high school reunion-like get-together and even some guys from the current convention that wandered all the way over from SoMa.

    Absolutely love this new billiards bar! Super intimate and pretty inside! My boyfriend and friend ordered Black & Tan and Hazy IPA, as beer lovers they vouch for it. I got Pão de Queijo, which basically tasted like soft pillowly waffle cake bites with cheese inside! You can choose from three sauces they have: Spicy Cilantro, Mint Coriander, & Garlic Aioli. We also ordered the Brazilian Steak Kabob Skewers, which were very delicious, it was marinated well, super citrusy and herbaceous. Finally we got dessert as well, ordered Brigadeiros in the flavors Matcha and Classic Chocolate. They're pretty sweet and really rich. I enjoyed the texture of the rock sugar on the matcha and the classic chocolate was slightly bitter which was nice. Overall the experience was great and our server was very sweet, accommodating, and answered all of our questions.

    Moscow Mule

    Finally a pool hall in my neighborhood! It has 4 Diamond tables which are nice to play on. Service is nice. I did get there a little after they opened so I ordered a Moscow Mule directly from the bar. Didn't get any food but there's a kitchen also. I'll definitely be back to play more pool for sure.

    These pool tables are the best you can get, Diamond brand. Always level and the Simonis cloth is perfect. Makes dive bar pool tables feel a like potholed dirt road. Lots of interesting spaces here in this 2-story venue. You can hide away in a cozy booth upstairs and see pool games going on below, or you can be at the forefront of attention on table 1 during Wed and Thurs for the challenge of being 'King of The HALL' . Either way, the best thing about this place is that there is not a television in sight... allowing you to concentrate on human interactions and the game of pool, instead of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and baseball games on TV. I was blown away by Joina's Brazilian Meatstick. Best item on the menu, so juicy and tender. Quality of the meat cut was *fine dining, white napkin* quality. The servers here dash around quickly and are always attentive. I wish their hours were more than just {5:00pm - midnight} , but overall this place is a hit --even if you don't like pool at all.

    Brazilian beef skewers

    Let me start by saying that the food is absolutely brilliant and delicious. The signature house salad is a must. We also had the Brazilian beef skewers and chicken tikka skewers. Both were really good. The pool tables are on point. All diamond tables and just amazing to play on. I love the layout. It's got levels and you can see all over the hall. Cocktails were made to perfection. Can't wait to see how far this place goes. The location is perfect. Right across from Alamo and foreign cinema.

    What a great addition to the neighborhood! This spot strikes the right balance between upscale and relaxed. The cocktails are creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. The food menu is thoughtfully designed with global inspired dishes. It's the kind of place where you could come for a casual drink or make an entire evening out of it. Pool players will appreciate the sleek high-end tables, while those looking for a nice evening out with great cocktails and food can enjoy the stylish lounge vibe without even picking up a cue. Either way, The Hall is worth visiting just for the vibe, the service, and the quality of the food and drinks.

    Cocktail list

    I was fortunate enough to have been invite to a pre-opening event at the Hall by the owners. Some of what I saw was still under development. But with that said, I was blown away! The Hall endeavours not just to be a pool hall but to also be a place you can gather with your non-pool friend to enjoy eats and libations. And both did they nail it. Lets start with the libations. My three favourites were: Whiskey Fig Sour I am usually skeptical about cocktails based on high end whisky but this was delicious. My concern was that they go down so easy, I'll need to watch myself. Dirty Sake Martini This was perfection in a glass. Best Martini I have ever tasted. Black Manhattan Another winner. The two snacks I tried were an Indian Tandoori style wrap and a Brazilian Steak kabob. They both were delicious. The decor of the space is beautiful. Definitely a high end chic place that you could take a date even if she had no interest in pool. There's plenty of seating near the bar. And a few booths strategically placed near the pool tables. The pool tables themselves are works of art. Top end Diamond tables in a tasteful white beige colour. Two 9 footers and six 7 footers. Two of the 7 footers are designated King of the Hill where it's pay by the game and the winner stays on. All in all this place is nirvana for any pool player or foodie.

    No need for a vacation to taste amazing food -- the most delicious flavors are right here! Absolutely loved it, everything was so tasty

    Finally an excellent place to hang out with friends on Friday/Saturday night. This pool hall is amazing! Probably the most high end in the City. I had a great time and drink and food menu are both very excellent as well.

    There are so many tables to play pool here. And Plum Gimlet was good!!! Don't miss to try dessert the Brigadeiros. Matcha is my fav one.

    Amazing cocktails! Each one is so unique with different flavor profiles. Given the complexity, the…read moredrinks do take awhile so just hang out and enjoy! * Lychee Corn 75 = sweet lychee, but not overly; can't really taste any alcohol * Korean Cold Noodles = so complex!

It comes with a real dumpling! * Mango Sago = I really liked this one - tastes exactly like mango with coconut and has a few mochi for fun. * Ube Cheesecake = yummy dessert cocktail that is fairly thick so commit (it's worth it) The food is really unique as well - I highly suggest the deviled egg sampler. The atmosphere is very lounge like with chill vibes. Service is great.

    Lore's Wonderland escape room was a fun and delightfully whimsical experience. **This review is…read moremainly for the escape room, as we did not order any additional drinks outside of the escape room.** THE SPACE // Lore Speakeasy and Escape Room has cool themed decor everywhere, from the dimly-lit speakeasy/bar room in front, to the Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings-themed board game room, to the individual bathrooms, and of course the escape room's multiple Alice in Wonderland-themed rooms. Clearly a lot of effort went into building these rooms and evoking a certain vibe for each. THE ESCAPE ROOM // The puzzles in the escape room varied in difficulty - some required us to think a bit more, some required our observational skills to work harder, and others required a light level of physical skill/movement. We were perplexed a few times but never got stuck for too long, as the White Rabbit (played by Phoenix, the live actor/puzzle master) would jump in occasionally to provide clues over the speaker or in person. It took us about 1 hr 20 min to finish the entire escape room; I thought the pacing was good. THE [ESCAPE ROOM] DRINKS // Lore's escape room experience comes with "a flight of themed cocktails or mocktails, including "potion"-style drinks that are integrated into the experience as you progress", per the website. We got to choose one cocktail/mocktail option (Korean Cold Noodles) from a list on the website, and the other two drinks are pre-selected to supposedly fit into the Wonderland theme, with the flavors described online as "berry" and "peach". You can get both cocktail and mocktails for your party, in case some people want alcohol and others don't. We all enjoyed the flavor of the Korean Cold Noodles cocktail, which was refreshing and surprisingly a bit minty in the mocktail version. However, we didn't like the two other two pre-selected themed drinks as much. The "berry" drink gave us cherry cough syrup vibes, and the cocktail version of it was quite strong. The "peach" mocktail drink reminded me of canned fruit syrup; we also were missing the two cocktail versions, though we decided not to ask for them as the mocktail version already was less than impressive. One other missed expectation here was the size of the drinks that we received in the escape room. We were expecting full-sized cocktails, like what they serve in the speakeasy in front. Instead, we found out that the drinks are served in small "vials". Given the size of the drinks in the escape room, combined with us not even enjoying two out of the three drinks, I would preferred to go through the escape room without the drinks at all, and likely pay a bit less for the escape room then. OVERALL // I'd still recommend the escape room as a good one-time experience with a date/friends/family. Just don't expect too much from the included themed drinks! The speakeasy drinks on the main menu do sound unique/tasty, so I might come back again to try those sometime.

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.
