★★★★★ John, Oct 2023

We absolutely love this place. The four owners are the nicest people and have done such an amazing job with this place since they took it over. It’s clean, so cute and fairly priced. They are so welcoming and the music is great. The fried pickles are yummy and the pin ball machines are super fun.

★★★★★ Jess, Oct 2025

First time at CBC. My 14yr old son really wanted to play pool so we gave this place a try. 100% worth it. Atmosphere is laid back with a punk rock hipster vibe. Tons of pool tables. Prices are absurdly cheap. They have a small bar with beer, liquor, and bar food. All solid. Bartender was super friendly and welcoming.

★★★★★ James, Jan 2026

Pool tables, pinball (newer Stern and some classics). Bar, food, snacks. Owner was friendly and attentive. Overall great place, I want to bring someone with me next time.
