Tucked away in Rockledge, Pockets and Putters isn't your typical smoke-and-mirrors billiards bar. Sure, the walls hum with the satisfying click of eight balls and the murmur of friendly competition. But step beyond the cues racked on the wall, and you discover a vibrant hub where good times ricochet like a well-struck snooker.
The allure begins with the menu. This is no limp lettuce and stale beer affair. Think Detroit-style pizzas boasting crispy, blistered crusts, and generous cheese pulls. The "Detroit Pepperoni" is a carnivore's dream, filled with pepperoni bliss. For those seeking big burger fare, the Classic Smash Burger delivers juicy-patty nirvana with its symphony of savory flavors, so potent it renders condiments unnecessary And let's not forget the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, a spicy symphony on toasted brioche, best enjoyed with napkins strategically deployed.
But Pockets and Putters isn't content to be just a culinary haven. This is a playground for grown-ups. Darts bristle on dartboards, tempting even the most stoic to test their aim. A state-of-the-art golf simulator beckons with virtual greens and pixelated fairways, offering a digital escape to sun-drenched courses far from the urban sprawl. (Though your reviewer confesses haven't yet braved this green frontier, the infectious glee emanating from its booth speaks volumes.)
The real magic, however, lies in the atmosphere. Every face behind the counter makes you feel like a regular after your first visit. This isn't just service; it's hospitality honed to a fine edge, turning a night of pool into a shared adventure.
Pockets and Putters isn't reinventing the wheel. It's simply doing it exceptionally well, with heart and a dash of well-seasoned fun. In a city where trends flicker like neon signs, this is a place where good food, good vibes, and good old-fashioned competition find a harmonious home. So grab your cue, your appetite, and your competitive spirit. At Pockets and Putters, a winning shot isn't just about sinking the eight ball; it's about sinking your teeth into a delicious slice, letting loose a triumphant cry after a bullseye on the dartboard, and soaking up the infectious joy that permeates every corner of this neighborhood gem.
Recommendation: The Detroit Pepperoni pizza, a Classic Smash Burger (hold the condiments), and a few...

Read moreBartender was great and very helpful. Kitchen needs work. Waited 45 minutes for my food before I went up to ask where it was. They said they made it to-go, which I didn’t request. So it was cold when I got it. Dry rub on my wings was cinnamon?! I’m sorry but yuck, not a good dry rub for wings. Asked for 3 ranch, they gave me 3 blue cheese. Not a big deal but all things added up made it for a bad food experience. Golf simulator doesn’t work well. We had to keep starting new games because it was glitching. They also only have 4 irons to hit with, so that sort of sucks if you are trying to play a course. I write this review hoping things can improve because I do believe it’s a great atmosphere and does have potential. But maybe this is just a pool/drink place? Or maybe it was just bad night. This was my first time here so I will give it another try as I do believe in...
