What players say

I thought about this place after stopping at Output which had a 45 minute wait. Their wings are good but not worth the wait for this divey place. I remembered City Pool Hall, their food and the good memories there. It was a blessing in disguise. Full, but not slammed. Clean, controlled and chill atmosphere.

★★★★★ Rey, Apr 2025

"Is it dead?" 🙃 This is what two different staff members asked before clearing any of our plates from the bar. I kinda like how quirky, yet effective, this is, and that this seemed to be part of their training. When we got there, we sat at two open seats in the middle of the bar.

★★★★☆ Review, Jan 2023

The place has amazing vibes. People from various genres and corners of life gather here to play pool. So manageable and food here is good. Service e is good staff is very nice. Very alert and friendly. I had a good time mozzarella sticks with buffalo sauce is a must try thing.
