My home away from home! I worked at first break cafe for about 5 years and everyone there has always been friendly and accepting of new ideas and new friends. There are so many different activities to get EVERYONE involved in something fun to do. And that was BEFORE the renovation! :) you know a place is good when regulars stay regular until they have gray hairs. I also love seeing new faces! If you want relaxed fun- come here.
Review Source:It's been very hard to find a real pool hall around the area. Â The tables here are in great shape, new carpets, dart areas and a separate smoking lounge, which I really appreciate. Â I can't believe I've not heard of this place all of these years but considering its location, you really have to be a hardcore player to find it. Â It definitely isn't for the casual player with a lot of regulars and some intense and serious looking players. Â
Spoke to the owner/manager and was told they have been there for many years. Â I've been driving all over the place for a good pool hall, and it was right down the street!
The rates are very reasonable and the food, surprisingly OK for bar food. Â I had the fish and chips and they brought out a plank that hung off the plate. Â Well cooked and a heaping helping of crispy fries for $7.50, what?! Â
$8 for 8 hours of pool on beautiful tables on Sunday, I'm sold.
This is in the most odd location. You enter the shopping center and it's in the back near the car repair. You walk into the building and have to take an elevator (which looks like it's been through about a bazillion fights -- security cam ripped down, dirty, old, etc) up to the 2nd floor. When you enter there are about 13 tables and a bar. No frills, just billiards. The draft beers are around $5, the cost of billiards isn't too expensive, and the music is loud as hell. The clientele was a mixed variety of thug, punk, and prep. I wouldn't start beef to begin with, as that's not my style.... but I definitely wouldn't mess with some of the characters I saw in there. Again, remember what I said about the elevator. My friend, upon entering said "so, we're going to go in an elevator and don't be surprised if you feel like you could be stabbed in there." Yeah, he wasn't kidding. I'm not saying it's unsafe, I'm just saying it's Sterling... and it's not a "oh lets get drunk and talk shit and giggle and act like idiots....oh, yea... and play pool" kind of place.
Review Source:First and foremost, First Break is about pool. Â Don't bring your date here. Â If you're serious about the game, you'll appreciate the tables. Â Players tend to hang around the first 4 tables as you enter the room, or around the pub tables/rail immediately overlooking the first 4 tables. Â League nights bring out a rather peculiar crowd, not my favorites but good people.
There's a 9-ball tournament every thursday, 8-ball/9-ball tournament at least once a month on a saturday, and regular Tiger Pool Tour stops.
