Corner Pocket Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Salem

Ok so let’s try this again. Was 86’d from this “billiard bar” and apparently my review was the reason why. Was told it exuded misogyny and other unfavorable views so I’m going to try it again. So as far as days go Leslie is great. Always has been. Would hang out with her here anytime if I were allowed. As far as evenings go I cannot tell you how atrocious the service has become. There is a female bartender I won’t describe other than that for fear of being labeled misogynistic or shaming when all that has to be ashamed is the professionalism and respect for patrons who don’t frequent the night scene here. Want a late bite? Good luck with that. Like your service with a snarky attitude? Then you’re in luck. Been going here for years and all the sudden I’m the problem? Apparently it’s under new management and it is not favorable. If you like standing around waiting for a bartender show up then this is the place for you. To be fair I have held this place with high regard and at one time the food and service was great but it appears the person responsible for that is no longer there and new management with an entitled attitude and complete disregard for customer service is the new thing. I thought reviews were for improving quality at a place such as this? Guess you review at your own risk so beware. And if you post one that’s less than stellar??? Well they’ll just have their friends post 20 fake ones to counter it. Pretty sad that this is their resolve and disappointing that I can’t go back to see if things change. But my life will continue to go on without corner pocket...

First of all... wow what a little hidden gem this has become. We wandering in for the advertised PrimeRib on Saturday Night and I will say it didn't disappoint in anyway.

It was a little slow inside as it was Memorial Weekend but the atmosphere was on point. The music was loud enough to hear it as a background yet still hold a conversation with the table at almost a whisper. We were greeted quickly and was able to choose our place. Drinks were ordered and arrived pretty quickly. My top shelf long island was on point and was smooth.

We got some appetizers and boy I was surprised by actually how much food came out. These were the appetizers!!! Cornbread was included with dinner and the honey butter was the icing on that cornbread. All I can say is I want more.

Now onto the review of that PrimeRib. Holy Holy Holy. Cut like it was butter... so full of flavor!!! Herb and butter spread on top... the juice was worth the extra toss and wait.... my mouth watered as I enjoyed it. Wasnt even able to finish tho due to the amount of food...

Im still surprised at the large portions even of the PrimeRib. It was served on its own castiron plate. Loaded baked potato I cant comment yet as its in my fridge. The green beans were candied and even tho I felt they were a touch over done they were still yummy.

Not sure what else to say but if your wanting to try this place for the PrimeRib I think its really worth the shot and I believe you'll not only leave with extras and a full stomach but some green still left in...

I went in Saturday night with some friends to play pool and sing karaoke. I have to say that the two employees that were working thete... a male and a female bartender....were absolutely horrible at customer service!!!! The guy especially was super rude, like he was being inconvenienced. The gal didn't know how to make drinks, tasted about everything she made. They were both very slow, and I wonder how they are allowed to represent this place with such crappy attitudes!!! I have been in the industry and I was always extremely friendly and attentive and knew how to pour drinks. I think this generation just doesn't care, at least these two employees should NEVER be in customer service. I have to reiterate that the guy bartender, was a complete jerk. I have never been to a bar where the service was so awful. Please get some friendly employees. I'm telling everybody I know to not go there unless they wanna be waiting fifteen minutes for a drink when there's nobody at the bar and have visibly pissy employees. ADDED: The owners response was a joke. No one in my party got cut off... where did you even pull that from? Your employees are rude and lack customer service skills. There wasn't that many people in the...
