What players say

The Tavern and Pool McMenamins location is a great spot for delicious food (pizza), drinks, and bar games. I highly recommend the Hammerhead BBQ pizza, the Tropical Storm pizza, the Omnivore pizza, and the Margherita pizza. And definitely order some Cajun tots!

Dive bar surprise. This place makes no apologies. The ladies that steer this ship don’t answer stupid questions or suffer many fools. The kitchen serves up the best burgers on Foster Rd and boasts some quality ingredients for such a small corner.

Awesome atmosphere plenty of arcade and pool,ping pong,pinball&more. Warm friendly staff . Neighborhood vibe. Never dull !Sarah too sweet&ScottyJo the heart of the place an attraction on his own ! Come see for yourself - Cheers!
