From their reviews

“Came on a Thursday night with my work family. Randy was great nice mix of music. Love that u can bring ur own drinks and food. Ice and cups are free.real nice cool spot to chill, real Laid back. . I’ll be back next week Friday.”

“Is open really late which is great since I work two jobs and my bf works 3 so it gives us something to enjoy together. The staff was very friendly. Especially Will he immediately started talking to us as we walked in and checked in on us while we were there.”

“Went here for thr first time the other night with a bunch of fellas and we had a great time! We played for 3 hrs and we were having so much fun, the 3 hrs flew by. Pool tables are well kept and the ping pong table was also fun.”

Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time. A high score means many reviewers liked a hall, not that we vouch for it. We don't list prices, and hours come from Google: confirm before you go.
