What players say

I've been meaning to write this review for three years. That's when my wife and first started going to this fantastic bar in Sunnyside. It's always a fun, relaxed, and welcoming experience–for regulars and new faces alike. Good people, excellent beverages, very nice pool table. Shoutout to Rudy.

★★★★★ Andy, Apr 2025

This place really lives up to its name! Everyone is very inviting. The bartender and the people are very nice. You can play pool and hang with friends for a reasonable price. I was visiting from San Diego and had a lovely time here

★★★★★ Mariela, Feb 2024

A super welcoming and lovely local bar. Everyone we met inside was incredibly friendly and the four of us had an awesome night because of it. A small place, but still has a pool table, foosball, and a cool outdoor patio. The owner's dogs are adorable as well! Would love to return!

★★★★★ Phillip, Nov 2022

Been driving past this bar for years and went for the first time last night. I had the greatest time playing pool and everyone there was super friendly. Excited to come back next weekend and hopefully many more!
