What players say

Nice new pub in Somerville, thank you for a great addition to the neighborhood! Some seating is surrounding the pool tables and don't have views of a TV though. Cocktails are perfect for the price and if you get a seat at the bar, you have a beautiful view of a gigantic TV to watch any sports you please.

★★★★★ Jamie, Feb 2024

Awesome little pub on the 1st floor of my apt!! Great service and great beer options. The nachos and cheeseburger are awesome options. Pool tables and air hockey. Karen, the bartender is great and works hard!!

★★★★★ Geoff, Jun 2025

Fun new spot! Cool retro arcade games in the corner, and more standard billiards/ pool on a different side. The bar is modern and unique, with a good dining area too. Food is high quality, and drinks are fairly priced. Great place to go with friends!
