What players say
This was my friends group go to place from 2002-2010. Now every time I'm in town I love to stop by and relive some of those good memories with old friends. Love that this place has been kept up, maintained well and is still such a great place to hang out with friends.
Definitely had a hard time getting the balls to drop. May have been my new glasses, the heat or my cider. No telling.
Great tables, balls and felt. Nice friendly atmosphere. Good lighting. Food and drinks available there which was nice. Good pricing. We drove 90 minutes from the Bay area ( Berkeley) to check it out. Will definitely be there again when in the neighborhood .
Been coming here since I was 11 years old, and I'm 24 today! So yes it is a wonderful pool hall.
