Corner Pocket

A slight update, without being a shining review. Since the last review that I added for CP, I have been a few more times for karaoke or just to meet up with some friends. There are really not many options in Kilgore for this at all. My negative experiences with the bartenders have always been with the female bartenders, and I have been waited on by Rhett nearly every time that I have been in more recently. He is always a good bartender and makes sure that you always have a drink and leave happy.

When I have been for karaoke, it is a pretty laid-back karaoke scene. There are very few serious karaoke patrons that come, and everyone just wants to have a good time with drinking and mediocre singing. This marks a pretty serious difference between here and a few other places in Kilgore with Karaoke, where it is a stiffer, "I sing in church so I'll come sing here" attitude and any songs that contain objectionable lyrics will be immediately stopped, whether the person even sings them or not. Come get some drinks and just don't get your hopes up that this will be the classiest, cleanest, cheapest pool hall that you have ever experienced.

I really enjoy this spacious pool hall. Billiards and darts abound and TVs provide news or sporting events. Karaoke is hosted on Friday nights and live bands play here Saturday nights.
Keep in mind, the Longview/Kilgore areas aren't exactly bustling with great nightlife! I always invite friends because I hang out with them, not the staff.

Good environment, great draft beer. Pool tables are a little expensive, at $4 per person all night. Should like to see the price of drinks go up and the price of pool go down, because there are tons of bars where you can get cheaper drinks, but this is a decent pool hall.
