Came in to shoot some pool... stayed because the service was better than my pool game. Great atmosphere, amazing beer collection, and seriously great service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of all night. I lost a few games, lost a little dignity, but definitely found a new spot. 5 stars. I'll be back for a rematch! read more

This place is an awesome billiards bar but the catch is they only have beer on tap. They have all the games on during football season. They open kinda late at 5 which is the only bad thing. Have at least 45 beers on tap with some great choices. Inside is clean and have lots of pool tables. Bartenders are great read more

Place was cool inside but $35 for 3 little glasses is insane. I was planning on hanging with my boys there all night but after I bought the first round, none of us were feeling the prices. Friendly service just won't catch me there again. read more

The Junction Bar - Billiards - $35 for 3 of these little glasses - Pool Halls Near Me - Downey, California

The bartenders here have poor customer service. The ambience is cool if you wanna talk and grab a drink but there are other places that are more welcoming. Security also denied one of my friends for looking too "intoxicated" but we were all sober. read more

Great bar, DJ MJ is gunna keep that place running smoothly until she retires! Awesome service and the pool tables are always clean.

I was playing pool at the far-right table when the male bartender went to clean the small restroom in the corner. He left the door wide open afterward, to air it out but the chemical fumes were overwhelming. I couldn't stand the smell, so I closed the door. Next thing I know, the bartender comes around and presses me for doing so. Seriously? I paid for the beer and the table, and now I'm supposed to just sit there breathing in whatever chemical cocktail he left brewing in the bathroom smh. When I expressed my reasoning he ignored me and walked away. read more

The way I was treated tonight was in no way fair . I paid for a beer , drank half and then went outside for a smoke and then for whatever reason couldn't enter back in. I understand last call but I still had my beer inside which I paid for and tipped for , yet I wasn't allowed inside ?? I event told security and the staff and they just smiled and said no too bad , gave me a thumbs up ??? What kind of service is this ??? I couldn't even finish my drink . Check your cameras . I'll gladly point out who I am. Sucks that a place I loved coming too would so this , literally has never happened. I even have photos of the staff. Costumer service should come first . I want going to order a beer , just finish what I already ordered and paid for . read more

Had a quick drag with boys outside, security was dogging us as soon as we got there. Walk up to the door and he tells us we've been drinking and can't let us in. How do you expect people to have good vibes and times in place that doesn't allow you feel relaxed and welcomed. Terrible. read more

On Sunday night, I went out with a group to hang out and play pool at this place. The issue began when I attempted to close my tab and return my card; I had previously asked a bartender to close my tab but never received my card back. I asked the staff member in blue whether I had been charged for anything and explained that I did not authorize any charges beyond the first order, and that if my group used my name, I should not be billed. I requested that someone else in my group settle the tab if needed and asked for confirmation that I would not be charged after the first order. The staff member became defensive and confrontational, accused me of being disrespectful, and told me to get my "drunk friend home." The situation escalated as I reiterated my request for no further charges and sought verbal confirmation. Security was then called; a short Hispanic guard approached and placed his hands on me without any warning or a clear request to exit. I began recording for my safety and to request verbal confirmation that my card had not been charged. I asked him not to touch me and I backed away, unsure of the nearest exit and feeling cornered. The root cause, in my view, was a combination of the staff member's dismissive attitude and the failure to return my card or confirm charges after the first order, which caused an unnecessary confrontation and safety concern. read more

I've been here before and they were just fine, no problems. However, I just got denied entry because me and my group looked "too drunk or faded." We were a group of hispanics and asians. Ive never been denied entry to a club or bar in my life, I'm so disappointed and offended. We literally drove here, didn't smoke at all or anything before. read more

Only 1 star because you can't have a drink to pre game apparently and I drove 40 min to go there...immediately was told to leave the parking lot and go somewhere else. Was a Thursday and just parked and open a can to jug with a date.. Def was weird since we have been to 100's of bars and never was once told we had to leave for pregaming with a regular beer can read more

came here 2-3 month ago with my friends/co-workers to celebrate her bday. this place was the closest we could find on yelp. it's a little whole in the wall billiard sports bar.. they don't serve hard liquor; only beers. we had one drink each and we played one game of billiard. we came here early around 2, 3 in the afternoon so the place was dead. it's a descent place to hang out if you are into playing billiards or watch sports.. read more

While having a great time at the bar and having my drinks served ASAP great service by the way I have spent a good amount of money at this bar being that it is close to my home and I have no trouble going to this bar. I had the security pulled me out from the bar just because I had my leg over the pool table without any warning. The small guy said I had to leave along with my company but the girls can stay. I wanted to close the bar but the security had to come in and ruin our night. I have no trouble with this bar but having me escorted out just because my leg was over the pool table is un called for. To the owner of this bar you need better staffing of security.. read more

They serve a variety of cold draft beer and cocktails. Theres always friendly people and music to enjoy the week, and I'd definitely be coming back. Could take advantage of more ademnities, but for its size it's well equipped for any kind of night. Come on the week day for an after-work retreat or weekend for fun. read more

The Junction Bar - Billiards - Pool Halls Near Me - Downey, California

Overall this place has a great ambience with a great brew selection. I believe they have five pool tables, but one is reserved for private parties. I went during late afternoon, and it wasn't too packed. But I have experienced it on a Friday or Saturday night, and this place tents get pretty packed. Overall I came here for the craft beer selection, and they have yet to disappoint me. Next time in the area I'll be sure to visit the spot again. read more

Always a chill vibe here and good beers that are always refreshing this would be a spot to take a girl towards the end of the date and just talk and have some fun in a nice dark setting read more

Good chill spot to play pool or just have a few drinks, good music. Only downside no place to dance. Service was okay. Long lines sometimes. Other than that! Chill place for friends read more

The Junction is a must go to location! The staff is amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to selecting the right drink for you. They have a wide variety of beers and seltzer to choose from. The manager MJ is hands down the best, her recommendations are always 10/10 the best! They have several pool tables, great vibes, junk box available for music, and play all the major spots events! read more

First bartender did a great job serving drinks and specialized a drink for me everything was great until the end when my water had a fingernail in it I don't bite my fingernails so yeah. , I threw up in the parking lot. Not my best night. read more

Chill cool definitely will return. Today was the first I went and I really enjoyed the vibes there.

Always the spot for great craft beers, and service. Pool and good music is always good combo

Great ambiance. Great service. Great drinks and they have some small snacks. Fun time playing pool.

Yes yes and yes! So many beers on tap its one of the toughest decisions you'll have lol it's a chill atmosphere, but can get pretty packed at night/weekends. They have a few pool tables and a few TVs so you can watch games while having a beer and playing some pool. This is an overall cool place. You're able to try many different craft beers from local breweries without even going to them, you have all the best in one spot! read more

The bar is bomb as shit and the bartenders are off the hook. Only shit I don't like is I can request music on the jukebox. Gardens across the street has Touchstones and I can drink and hear my music. I'm heading to gardens! read more

Come to this bar if you want your personal belongings stolen.. security there will prey on any of your personal stuff purses bags and phones. I left my phone and beanie here on Friday night and I went the next day to see if they found my belongings.. one of the security states they found my beanie with my phone and to speak with the manager the next day. I come back the next day to claim my phone and beanie and claim they "don't know where its at" they "misplaced it". What kind of establishment finds things and turn it in and then later misplace them or can't find them!?? Establishment full of thieves. Never again! read more

You're allowed to bring in outside food, which is nice. Jukebox in there had some good tunes. Billiards are first come first serve.

Good bar but not many cocktail selections for of a draft beer and ipa selection than anything.

Best Service in town. The staff are amazing and quick to serve. Every time I go is nothing but love. Would recommend to anyone at any day of the week. read more

Security there found my lost item "turned it in to the lost and found" but couldn't find it told me to come back the next day, I come back the next day to speak w/ manager and of course they couldn't find the lost item.. manager tells me another story that the beanie isn't there someone took it. So in my head you mean to tell me you lost my lost item and All of a sudden it was stolen? I was this close to calling DOWNEY P.D to file a report against this bar because their employees in this establishment find anything that was left behind and KEEP IT. This item was of sentimental value. I literally live around the corner and been coming here for years but obviously not anymore. Cause of this stint it's really fell off below standards and btw the manager doesn't care about the business nor the customers, very poor customer service. read more

My husband and I like going here after work. The beer is good, and music is what we enjoy.

Great place with a revolving selection of beer!! If you enjoy beer, they have one for you. The service is fantastic!! Huge shoutout to Mayra, MJ, Stephanie, Jo, Sistina and Mary!! Thank you!! They do a great job attending you and welcoming you. Plenty of screens to catch a game and play a game of billards. Cheers!! read more

The Junction Bar - Billiards - OMG Hazy IPA (left) and 805 (right). - Pool Halls Near Me - Downey, California

Decent spot for the local community or if you're in the area. Wouldn't drive out of my way for this place. Limited parking available. Medium sized location, wasn't too crowded in the early evening but seen a crowd after 9:00 pm. Limited pool tables available so it takes some patience getting one. No full bar. Most of the beer sold is craft beer, which I prefer. Several different options. I would recommend sticking with a beer you're familiar with because the bartenders/waitress don't know anything about craft beer and you're not able to sample. Also, no flights available (I'm guessing since it's not a brewery). I ordered two beers that I was familiar with and wanted to try something new for the third. The third beer was horrible, tasted like it was expired or a bad batch, attempted to return it but waitress/manager said I couldn't. Bad customer experience and service. This place is definitely more of a sports bar than a place to explore new craft beer. So, if you're in the area and want to play pool or watch sports then this might be your place. However, to try new craft beers I would recommend the brewery in the city or surrounding cities. read more
