This place is a great setup for a pool hall. It's not hidden in some basement in a dark building. There are great tall ceiling and large windows that overlook the little main street. Also, there is plenty of parking in a back lot as well as on street parking. The staff is a core group of people, and the owner is very friendly and welcoming and recognizes you after a few visits.
Apart from the pool, there is also a fairly good sized and varied menu.
This has got to be one of the best pool halls in the area. I've been always going here just for pool and every time it's always a good one. The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. the place is very clean and appealing for groups. They have numerous pool tables including a Snooker table which is a plus if you play Snooker.
Drinks are relatively inexpensive so grabbing one here is usually good.
Overall good place if you want to just have some fun on a Friday/Saturday night.
I go here to listen to live bands on Friday and Saturday nights, which is always fun! Â This is a very large venue, with a large raised stage for bands, think large gymnasium size room with a very high ceiling. Â They have pool tables all around the main room, and more in a side room that are always busy with players. Â During the week they have pool leagues and tournaments here. They have a full bar, beer on tap, and serve Pub type snacks. Â If you're looking for a Large Meal, eat somewhere else before you go for music and/or pool. There is free street parking on the Main Street and a very large parking lot located behind the building.
If you like playing pool and listening to LIVE Music at the same time you'll love this place. Â The staff is great and will make you feel right at home.

I've been coming to this place for over 3 years now and I dig it. Â It's a good place to meet up with some friends and hang out, whether playing pool or just having a couple of beers.
My only gripes are basically with the service that can be a little disorganized at times. Â While the service is good, I've (or friends have) had a couple of occasions where they forgot to put an order in for food or forgot to check on it later.
I recommend the bar's own Cal Dog brew. Â Pretty tasty.
This is a great family-friendly place to play pool.
The room is large and clean, with high ceilings and TVs mounted conveniently to most of the space. Â There's ample room around all the tables, and reasonable places to sit handy (almost all of it tall chairs from which it's easy to really watch the games). Â All the tables are 9', and in very good condition with tournament cloth and excellent cushions.
There's a back room with 2 tables that makes an excellent place for small parties (or, you can rent the whole place).
The bar has a very good variety of beers on tap, and several nice wines. Â Food is standard bar-style fare, but tasty and served with a smile. Â The fries are outstanding.
Monday is the big APA league night - at most 1 or 2 tables available for non-league play (but ask about joining a team).
They've added a 12 foot snooker table.
I'm not a pool player so I can't say much about the tables n such, but this was a great place to grab a drink and hang out.
The building has an interesting past, judging from the photos all around, but I couldn't quite tell what it used to be. Whatever it was, it makes for great atmosphere--the room is huge, with a kind of stage at one end.
Drinks were reasonable and the staff fine.
My husband and I decided to check out the Billiards Cafe after having dinner in town. Â We arrived at around 7pm on Saturday night. Â The staff asked which table we preferred, and we were quickly racking our first game.
There were only a few other groups in the hall when we got there, and when we left an hour and a half later, there were just about the same number. Â Which I didn't mind at all, I'm not a big one for crowds. Â We played a few games and had a couple of drinks. Â The drink prices are very reasonable, my Guinness was only $4.25 for a pint. Â Since we'd come from dinner, we didn't try any of the appetizers. But we did look at the menu, and think we'll be trying some next time. Â There wasn't a waitress, everything, including the check in and out, was done at the bar. Â
The tables are in good condition, the cues are a little bendy, but that's to be expected with hall cues. There's ample chalk at each table, and wooden racks. The atmosphere is pleasantly dark, each table has its own light and that's most of the illumination in the room.  There were plenty of places to put your drink, with lots of  tables and chairs scattered throughout the billiards tables.  The bar has some of its own tables and a couple of large, hi-def, flat screen TVs.
We had a good time, we'll be going back again. Â I'm wondering what the crowd will be like on a night when they have an event, with only 13 tables... I'll let you know when we find out.
If you want a low key place to play pool, this is the place to go.
