The Ivory Room

We very much enjoyed our experience here. I played pool on a Saturday night with my husband and another couple. The rate for a table was reasonable ($7/hour) especially for a Saturday night. We arrived a little early (at 8pm) and beat the rush. There were plenty of tables and plenty of space between the tables to play without being interrupted.

The beer selection was meh. However, I realize my level of expectation for a beer selection is high. They had all the watery basics: Bud, Miller, etc. on tap. They also had Guinness and Killians in bottles. That was the saving grace for me. Even though those are not my typical beers (too flavorless) they are good stand-bys.

The service was excellent. Very attentive waitress kept our beers full. We did not eat there.

The pool game was excellent. The table was well-maintained. The cues were also fine. It's always good to bring your own if you are serious though.

P.S. Love the name. The Ivory Room sounds so very  "old Detroit".

I visited the Ivory Room for the first time this weekend with my lady.  Had a good time.  Cheap tables ($6.95/hr + $1.00 for each additional person), good drinks and nice music.  Food was okay. I had the chicken fingers and we split an order of seasoned fries.  They didn't have honey mustard, which was disappointing, but the ranch and bbq sauce did the job.  The chicken fingers were a bit over-cooked and the fries were salty, but hey...no real complaints!  I would visit again.  The price was right and the drinks were good.

For a night out playing pool, darts, etc. This isn't a bad place. There was plenty of room, and the prices weren't bad (though admittedly I didn't pay for the pool table, our friends did. We picked up the pitcher of beer).

Nice thing was nobody bothered you there, and aside for some odd musical choices it was pretty laid back.

It was a bit smoky, but less so than some other of the same types of establishments. That will all change in May 2010!
