What players say

The bartender, Johnny, is a very cool dude :) Had a burger from Overkill Grill located inside Benders. Pool table, jukebox, rock and roll. Many IPA's on draft. I'm an IPA guy. Tell Johnny I said hi.

★★★★★ Matthew, Mar 2025

Just went with my adult children to play pool. Great atmosphere and friendly people. Only thing that sucked was the doorman who asked for my ID after checking my 23,26 year old kids. I’m 62. “Why?” I asked.

★★★★☆ Mark, Sep 2026

Super cool bar near Mission. Definitely must try this spot if you're a visitor. They also have pool table and a photobooth.
