Staff was more than helpful and friendly especially since I know I tend to ask questions others do not but I also always do things 100% if I'm doing it otherwise forced might be 20% that ends up like most ppls good enough 80% Prices for tables was surprisingly reasonable per hour since I was expecting it to have doubled since Y2K plus there's a bar attached for those that are not playing on full size tables and teaching 9 ball w 100% tournament rules to 1st timer, was surprised that they have a league but they use bar sized tables not sure if that's something new or two cater to the generation now vs the Minnesota Fats era players
Having run/owned a large successful event promotion company w sold out shows at top Chicago venues and nightclubs dealing with atmosphere and alcohol along with that guy is a learned skill, though it is a free country, I'd rather not have had that guy who doesnt wanna go home, come bother us to play, esp mid game w $ per ball in play, then disappear 30 mins when he wanted to break (got a 9ball win in against his much more lvl headed younger associate after saying its gonna be a while I'm guessing you just wanna play 9 if ur buddy's a talker)?
That if I owned it I'd have said something to him tgfo to his table or to myself on the side at least just to read if I might have problems w the guy later and make sure the broke regular isn't scaring new biz away, based on my dress and demener, plus I had called a cpl hrs earlier w lots of ?'s since last min idea to take coworker to get their mind off things n off the phone, but asked about buying a cue if they sold them, when I got there also fully knowing markup would be high but they didn't have ne premade ones so just grabbed a glove since don't have chalk/powder
You could bring food and hydration powder just not my own hand powder (A negitive cuz I have hyperhydrosis but only 1.8% of population has it mostly less severe, so I get it except if I'm going in a real tournament).
That guy had the kid not decide he was gonna go back to his place w him alone and trust he'll get back home, when he has no license or way to Uber even, liked it also but dude was a nuisance, esp as he's trying to stream himself (InfoSec gtf outta my face w it or if it breaks don't get mad at me, IL is still 2 party consent) while trying to flow, if it even deserves that word, from 40yr guy mad after finally getting that I'm not 1/2 his age bro, rather older like when he 1st told me he's 2x, like ok u might be a creep then too if that's impt to say 1st, minus that then having to remind coworker/him to clean their stuff by doing it myself n telling they followed the heard but took 30mins n a cpl cues almost left but took balls back cleaned up already, like he's a grown kid/adult idc it's his decesion, even though 1/2 the reason to take him out was to keep him out of trouble n give run down on what many exp/seen w kids and custody esp being 1st time and naive to women n think she isn't out there or a risk when family is personal injury attorney n u got some dui crash on record still a cpl ppl fig'd a few guys w varied exp might help get it into his head, but yea w/e place was good, full size tables say 8/10 or as expected, atmosphere fine w 1 exception if you drink or break your seal
Make sure they don't put you in the corner the furthest from the bar and restrooms if you plan to use the bar a bit or got runs?
Pretty sure it goes un-noticed by most, but not great for business either since they were spending more time walking to the bar and bathroom then playing and could have spent more as I was gonna get a pizza vs the way overpriced vending machine junk also far enough I didn't go back to it.
Unsure about their tournaments/league, but the guy I played 9 ball w/ waiting for the other 2 had said he goes on day off from open till 6 or so cuz its $10 till that time vs by the hr which is a great price to get ur game up n...
   Read moreGreat atmosphere and definitely chill vibes. My only problem was the customer service I received. This establishment caters to a diverse crowd that strongly supports the hip hop culture. It is evident through the music played and the appearance of the crowd. When my date and I first walked in, there were no signs of a dress policy nor did anyone say anything about our clothing when we rented our pool table. After an hour of playing, suddenly my wardrobe is an issue but Iâm not dressed much different than anyone else. I was spoken to like a child and rushed to pay like I was either going to shoot the place up or like I was trying to get something for free. My date and I was having a great time focusing on each other & the game, and planned staying for hours. Our complaint wasnât even heard and we werenât respected. That star is for the atmosphere, but customer service needs...
   Read moreI visited your establishment this past weekend because a co worker of mine suggested while she searched places to shoot pool. The guys that work your front desk are rude. I donât know if they were having a bad night or whatever the case was but they were really, really rude. They kept coming to our table which was right in front of them asking how many people were playing. It was me and my husband only standing by the table. I told him it was just us. Then the older one came back again and asked the same question. So this time we just looked at him and continued our game. We rented/paid for two hours and only played about 30 mins. All that bs took away from trying to play the game. This was a terrible experience and I will tell everyone not...
