What players say

I visit lots of pool rooms and I will say this one takes some beating. So much space, tables are great and the service is impeccable. I would recommend to anyone who has a passing interest in pool.

You will be absolutely amazed when you walk into this billiard club. They really outdid themselves with this stunning environment. It's actually an amazing gem for the greater Des Moines area.
