  I highly recommend that nobody go into this place. I went in for a beer and dinner, spent 18 dollars but went on my bank account a few days later and was charged 42!!! After calling 5 times management doesn't seem to care. I have basically been ignored. This was fraud!!!!!! If you go pay cash or the server may steal from you as well

  This is redic! The food is good, the bar is good and drinks are priced right.  WHERE ARE THE SERVERS???? I now dread going here, because if u do order food it will just sit at the bar until u personally go up and ask for it.  Who wants a cold hamburger and fries?  Its literally a joke when we go here about when the beer will come. Next week?  The week after? It's sad because I used to love this place and was hoping management would step in and solve these problems.

  As the name may suggest, this is a dive bar complete with several pool tables, dart boards, and massive TVs showing pretty much any game known to man. It's exactly as you'd imagine it, a bit seedy, no frills, but just want you want for a chill night with friends.
  
  We ended up here after two nights of very heavy drinking, just trying to relax and have a beer. The bouncer ID'ed us at the door (I still can't get used to that in the US despite living there for 10 years) and put some bracelets on us. Apparently a number of underage kids go there as the bartender interrogated me when i ordered a pitcher of beer ($8.50 for a massive pitcher of Yuengling - about 4-5 pints) and 3 glasses - he wanted to know who the glasses were for and almost didn't let me leave with it.
  
  After that, you are pretty much left to your own devices although I would recommend bringing a few whiteboard markers if you want to play darts. The markers they have are terrible and most regulars bring their own.
  
  Overall, it's cheap and cheerful with plenty of space for groups, so not a bad idea all around. Now if only they had shuffleboard...

  I changed my review of this bar because its gotten much better the last few times I have gone.  Pool, darts, poker nights, trivia nights.  Cheap beers in huge mugs, and the shots come in what seems to be a 3in1 shot glass. You definitely get your moneys worth.  The food is decent overall..  Make sure to try the wings though.

  Went here Friday with some friends and again on Saturday to watch the FSU football game and had a great time at Corner Pocket! The Happy Hour specials were very good on Friday. I really like this place because the crowd is older so you don't have to deal with college students and the like. The food is actually pretty good for bar food compared to many other bars in Tallahassee. The wings were very good and so were the fried pickles. I've heard that the burgers and sandwiches are all excellent as well from friends.
  
  I also got to meet the owner, Bill. He is a very nice guy and will take the time out to sit with you and ask how you are doing. On Saturday, I watched him accommodate everyone in the bar (including Hurricane and Bama fans) to get their games on a TV in the bar so they could watch the game even while the FSU game was going on. That alone makes this place worth it. I will definitely be back when I'm in Tallahassee again.

  Sorry for inserting a little sanity into the reviews for this place. It's a typical dive bar. Wings, beer, etc. They have darts, and pool, some decent beers on tap and typical bar food. The prices are quite good, which is why I would give it 2.5 stars.

  The food was ok (I got wings). There were a lot of tvs but all but one were pretty small. Being smoke-free was definitely a plus for me. There were about 5 pool tables, a foosball table, and about 6 dart boards. I had a good time.

  Recently expanded, Corner Pocket has definitely been one of my staples in going out in Tallahassee.  There aren't many places that offer shuffleboard, darts, pool, and poker (real, no video), and, on top of all that, the inside is non-smoking!
  
  The non-smoking point is a big one around here where many bars quickly get to the point where you don't need "beer goggles" because the person next to you is already obscured by a prominent smoke-screen.
  
  There IS an ample "patio" area for all the smokers to hang out, so if you partake you will not be excluded.
  
  Another great thing about Corner Pocket is that it is not close to campus and thus does not get overrun by all the little undergrads.  It is mostly locals (and thus a little older crowd) and always and interesting mix of characters.
  
  Especially with the new expansion, Corner Pocket will remain one of my main night time hangouts.
