BEWARE!!! DO NOT VISIT!! DANGEROUS!!!
I was hanging out with some friends on a Friday night when one of their friends called and wanted us to come here and play billiards. We were not familiar with Stanton (Mistake #1) at the time and so we decided to go. We got there with no problem parked and walked over. I noticed two bouncers at the door frisking down the guys. That was weird I thought but ignored it. (Mistake #2)
When we got inside it was pretty loud for a billiards pool hall, it was more of a club than anything else. We met up with some friends in the back corner and were having some fun until the music went dead. At that moment we saw guys screaming and yelling at each other. I also noticed one guy was bleeding and had blood running down his white t-shirt. It turns out one guy threw a pool ball at the other guys head hitting his ear. The bouncers quickly came inside and forced 1 guy outside, all of his friends quickly went outside. The bouncers came back in and locked the doors.
Some of the people who were kicked out began banging on the plexiglass windows urging the bloody guy to come out. (Mistake #3 not noticing the plexiglass windows) People were just screaming at each other from opposite sides of the glass. We just stood in the corner in shock not able to escape wondering what was going to happen next.
After about 20 to 30 minutes the cops arrived and everyone involved high tailed it out of there. What we learned later on is that this place is a gang hang out and this must have been an incident amongst rival gang members. Needless to say we have not gone back.
