really appreciate the staff here, especially the bartenders Taylor, Kaylee, Chris, and Tammy, as well as the doormen Daffer and Leon. They’ve always been friendly, professional, and helped create a welcoming atmosphere. The environment can vary depending on the night and the crowd, but overall it’s a great place to relax, play some pool, and hang out with friends. The pool tables are well-maintained and reasonably priced, which is a big plus. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to chill and shoot some pool, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Great for pickup games and those looking for a billiards game who didn't bring a group. Tables are in good to great condition and the staff here is super welcoming and friendly. One of the best bars in HB.
