DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR BUSINESS TO THIS PLACE. My wife, brother in law & I are convinced we were racially profiled & wrongly accused by the lady that works the front desk. Came to play a few games of pool because the other 2 bars with pool tables were closed so this was a last resort. We get to the table, there's 2 other people playing another table. I go to use the restroom provided, & as I'm sitting doing my business, I hear the doorknob jiggle more than 3 times so I call out to my wife, assuming it's her. I get no response, but the doorknob keeps juggling. I come out, ask my wife if she tried coming into the restroom too, & she says no. But her & her brother both say they saw the lady working go back to the restroom area more than 3 times. So she tried coming into the restroom with me, KNOWING it was occupied. Then as we're leaving, after we've already paid for our table, she calls us back to the desk to accuse us of drinking. Which we were not, at all.she tells us were banned from the place for absolutely not doing anything wrong. I wouldn't recommend this place at all unless you're trying to have your privacy invaded & to be falsely accused & racially profiled. Would not recommend this...

Pool rooms everywhere are struggling to keep their doors open. It's a difficult business to maintain, I understand. However, of the rooms that I have been in that ARE able to keep their doors open are doing so for a few different reasons:

Alcohol sales A monopoly in the local area Providing quality tables that are maintained Creating a community that caters to players of all speeds/levels Getting creative

Charging people double for leaving chalk on the cloth and or "white marks" that are created when you're hitting your cue ball firm or with power because you need to move the cue ball, is ripping people off. That's the bottom line. It's wrong.

I'm an experienced player. I play a lot. I love the game. I like to gamble. I'm a pool player. So believe me when I say, this pool room will not last with practices such as what I experienced today. Ripping people off is low. And this is...

Severely mistreated by the woman of Asian descent. Didn’t get to know her name, but when we first walked in, she asked if me and my group of friends were intoxicated, and that she didn’t allow drunk people. First of all, how uninviting?? How uninviting of a host to assume that guests who were there to have a good time were automatically assumed to be drunk? Second, at the very end of our session, she claimed that we left white marks on our pool table from hitting the white ball. She claimed that she didn’t wipe the pool table down before we played on that table pbefore us. Even if the people before us did/Didnt make white marks on the table, shouldn’t she wipe it down anyways? We were charged for white marks that we DIDNT cause! I will never return as long as she is working or owning that property. Disrespectful towards me and my friends who were there to have a good time! P.S.: I DONT...
