What players say

Really had a good time. Not fancy but they don't need to be. Nice pool tables and a decent beer selection. Was a great time!!

★★★★★ Brandon, Aug 2023

Came here for the first time earlier tonight. The place is huge with lots of pool tables. Prices are pretty fair and the staff is super chill and helpful. Our beers were, as many other reviews confirm, very cold (always a plus). We spent the whole time playing pool and ping pong, so I can't couch for the arcade games.

★★★★☆ Ali, Jun 2021

The kindest most respectful, wonderful staff! I love this place! My children (teenagers) and I come here often. Good, clean fun when so many other teen friendly venues shuttering. RIP Malibu RWC. I'm so glad we at least still have this place!

★★★★★ Serena, Mar 2024

I usually play alone and I like it here. They have a lot of tables. They are always clean and in great condition during the times I dropped by. I'm not sure how pack they get in the evening, but there are a lot of open tables during the afternoon (not really surprising, pool halls don't seem to fill up until later…
