    This keeps you out of the normal downtown crowd, but their is almost always a cover on the weekends, drinks are over priced, and the bar gets pretty packed, so getting a drink can be a pain.  Tuesday is Taco Tuesday: cheap taco's, Coronas, and margaritas, which is never bad.  Wing Wednesday has $4.00 any draft and .50 wings.  If you are going to go, make it one of those two nights. Oh yeah, enjoy the Bros.

    I was a waitress here for over a year and I took away two stars because my good customer service was not really recognized or appreciated.  

    3 stars because I do enjoy the atmosphere and the people there (for the most part).  It is a good time/chill bar to go to where you can also get crazy on the dance floor.  Also decent food; huge menu!  My fav food was: 3 pork tacos with a small caesar, chicken strips, french dip sandwich, steak & chicken bites, or pork quesadilla.  

    I also LOVE that every night was a cool theme: cheep beer on Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Comedy night & Wing Wednesday, CHEAP DRINK THURSDAY, buy 1 get 1 free burger Friday, beer & shot special Saturday, and they gave a lot of free & cheap crap away on Sundays!  

    I worked the World Series and it was so amazing to see the whole entire PACKED bar go NUTS when the Giants won!  That was an awesome moment for me; I even felt it in my heart when I saw someone cry over their win and I don't even like sports hah

    It can be fun here depends on the crowd and how much fun YOU are....the bouncers are nice and the bartenders will help you in order of line  ( so it seems so far to me).  I come for their lemon drops. Delish

    My friend and I were there on a Thursday night.  It wasn't that busy. We were sitting at a pub table alongside the bar and didn't get any service at all.  The waitresses just walked by us like we were invisible.  I flagged down the waitresses several times but we were ignored.  They didn't even have the courtesy to drop off a menu or ask us if we wanted to order drinks.   We had to go directly to the bar and order our drinks.  We wound up having a round of drinks and we were out of there.  The service was very poor and the waitresses were unfriendly.  I doubt if I would be returning.

    This place is discusting. The pool is cool. But everything else is nasty. I found a hair in my food (wrap) and a fly in my drink (cosmo). It was so bad that if I can stop just one person from going here.... I have done my job. Please go somewhere that is clean. Im really not sure how this place stays in business.

    One staff memeber smiled once. Everyone else seemed misserable.

    Waiting for my car at the mechanic and hungry.  They recommended close by Masses.  It's a step above a dive, albeit a large dive, but it reminded me of the type of places in college a group of my friends would crash.  Definitely a blue collar crowd.  I was here mid-day during the week.  It was not crowded, they have plenty of TVs, and it was 50 cent wing and $4 draft day.  I had decent hot wings and the artichoke and jalapeno dip was pretty good (though small for $7- but I'm on a diet anyways).  It wasn't super creamy and it looked like it was made from scratch.  Server was really nice.

    I would not pay a cover here nor come on a Friday or Saturday night, but weeknight or during the day for one of their daily specials/happy hour... it's ok.  Especially with a group of friends looking for a place to hang out.  The menu is pretty good... lots to choose from and all looks pretty good.   Overall good dive.  I saw from other reviews they charge for pool... not a place I'd pay to play pool.  More like, "let's go have some beers, hang out, have some decent food, and play pool for free... cause we don't feel like getting dressed up to go out".

    Masses Billiards .....has billiard tables in the center of the room, lots of flatscreens all around so it's also a sports bar. and they have burgers, salads, sammies, so it's a grill too.

    draught beers mostly mainstream ones, few microbrews.
    pour: longboard beer.(5.25)
    -hawaii beer so so, out of coconut porter something
    2.5 stars

    on draught:
    -different specials (food/drink) for different days
    -sign on bar wall: "if you are drinking to forget, please pay in advance."
    -patrons clickish
    -seating setup is like a maze...
    -not my kind of bar.

    Rockstar Karaoke!  

    If you like to sing you gotta drop in on Tuesdays, 9pm. There is a live trio cranking out classic rock, pop and soul hits and you sing with them live.  No Simon Cowel judging you either.  

    Good beer, full bar, good service.

    Great pool hall too.

    Disappointing to say the LEAST!!
    I've been a long time fan of this establishment, having even posted a previous review here on Yelp. Tonight? They lost me.

    I had a good size group set to trickle in and out throughout the evening of St. Patrick's Day. We planned to go to Masse's as they have their Sunday free pool and had KEPT IT LISTED ON THEIR CALENDAR along with their special St. Patrick's Day offerings.

    Arrived at around 6:30 pm on St. Pat's and was told pool was $13 an hour! (Which I believe is higher than their normal rate which if I remember correctly is $10 or $11 an hour) I let the young lady at the desk know that they had in fact advertised the FREE pool on their calendar and she said a manager "might" be able to get me ONE half priced hour.

    Sorry. That doesn't fly. The money they would have made off of my friends and myself will now go elsewhere. I should not be at HOME on St. Patrick's on Yelp griping about one of my favorite restaurants. This my friends? Is a damn shame. There is no room for false advertising or bait and switch tactics in my world.

    Security sucks and service is slow/unfriendly but maybe it was because I didn't fit the slightly down-syndromeish crowd that's normal there? I think the 5 dollar cover charge is the only reason they're still open. Seriously though, 5 dollars to get into a bar? Why? Because you have pool tables and a DJ that could easily be replaced with a top 40 itunes playlist?

    Also the arrogant roided up overweight asian security guard with too much free time wouldn't stop hassling us without a reason. Perhaps if that wasn't the case, I would have dropped a couple hundred on alcohol here like I did at the next bar I came to.

    Thanks but no thanks. Service matters and I won't be back.

    This place is fun if you aren't going to mingle and you just play some games with friends. If you expect a swank club, you'll be disappointed because it's a pool hall with a varied crowd and a bit rough around the edges. The bartender was busy but friendly. Last visit we ended up playing pool, sitting in the funky chairs and had a waitress who was aok. For now a solid 3 stars. More music please.

    Great place to watch a game too!

    i have to say this place let me down every single night. i was on a business trip for two weeks staying at the holiday inn about 2 blocks away from this bar. every single night the customer service was very bad.  The only reason I'm giving this place a star its because you can't give 0 and at least the place its big.
    it takes em about 15 minutes to bring your drink and sometimes they even forget.
    i was in walnut creek for two wks and came over to this place 3 times, so it was not a coincidence. however the owner is doesn't acknowledge the customer service that they provide or if he knows then he's does not care about customer svc.

    The food isn't bad - I was happy it was 50 cent wing night

    Two words: Taco Tuesday.

    $1 tacos. $2 Coronas. $3 margaritas.

    Sure I was paying for it the next day but it was well worth it all when you combine it with good people and complimentary bar food. Was not looking for a spectaular experience in terms of taste, but needless to say, I actually enjoyed those little bad boys plus the sauce. Too bad we didn't stay longer for karaoke or pool. Must visit again for drunk bocce ball and pool with added dodgy bar food - that's a good night!

    I love a nice sports bar with a terrific beer selection and good food, unfortunately this is not it.

    We went in the early evening, there were not very many people there.  The smell that greeted us was odd, not dirty, but almost chemical smelling.  Like it gets doused in Febreze regularly.  Pool tables, shuffleboard, and lots of Tvs upped the anty.

    The bartender was coldly efficient in greeting us, telling us to have a seat and a waitress would take care of us.

    The draft selection was typical, but had a nice variety of handles.. The bartender redeemed himself in our eyes by pouring a great black and tan.  

    Our waitress was adequate.  Not particularly nice or friendly, but she got everything right.

    Where this went terribly wrong was the food and the juke box.  

    If someone was watching a game, which would be typical at a sports bar in the evening, I would expect the jukebox to be disabled.  But no, someone pumped the money into this thing.  Fortunately, MNF football was not on or we would have left.  And the closed captioning was not on the TVs so we could follow the sports being shown at a sports bar.

    We ordered the pork and jalapeno poppers for an appetizer.  What arrived were 5 dark brown blobs with stems, and I was a little surprised that:  A) the cook sent them out. B) the waitress brought them and C) there was no disclaimer such as "if these are too done, let me know."  They were way too done, but we left them sitting with one bite taken for awhile and we did not see our waitress, we were hungry, so we ate them.  The cheese was cooked out, and had they been done instead of tortured, I think they would have been good.

    One person ordered the Philly Cheese Steak, which was steak'ums on a nice roll.  Sad, really.   One had a cheeseburger, which was competently executed.  I had fish and chips, which the waitress had assured me was good.  What arrived was one huge piece of fish, thin, but about a foot long.  I had to cut it into chunks, as there was no way to just pick up and dip into the sauce as I would expect from fish and chips style fish.  Speaking of sauce, it was professed to be tartar sauce, but whatever was in the tiny plastic cup was not like any tartar sauce I have ever had.

    If you just want to sit, drink and people watch, this is your place.  But if you want good food and to watch sports, pick another spot.

    If Chip Diller walked in to Masse's, he'd say: "Thank you sir, may I have another?" And he'd repeat it over and over. Because that, friends, is exactly what happens to me when I walk in to this bar.  "Thank you sir (and ma'am). May I have another?"

    I realize that over the last year I've pretty much stopped going out at night-time, but I still love a good Happy Hour.  In that beautiful period of time between when I get off work and when the sun sets, I love stopping in here on my way home. I stop different places for HH but when I want a fun, social setting, this is the first pick. Partly cuz I trust that I can find a tasty, even healthy, dinner option from their extensive menu and a beverage sopraffino to wash down the great food.  And they have great specials - I need to get in on a weekend soon for a bottomless mimosa! Just saw that they do this - sounds like a fun Saturday!!

    I have a weird thing for tacos so even though I like to try new things, the shrimp tacos from their menu are my favorite. Cajun seasoning is a must. The portion is filling, the price is reasonable, and they are served hot and fresh. I always sample my fiance's plate and he gets something different every time we're in there. Though, most recently, we've ordered different combinations of appetizers. My favorite of these is the fried green beans.  They're nicely battered and fried to a crisp. If you've never had these (anywhere) TRY THEM! Even if you're not a fan of the veggies. Awesome!  Their appetizer sampler makes it easy to try a few things at once. And if you're not with a group you're guaranteed to have left overs. All the portions are generous.
    Least favorite menu item: I avoid the French Fries (with or without garlic). Pick salad.

    I think the friendly staff behind the bar, plus the nice patrons I often find myself sitting next to, form a winning combination that is as welcoming as the good food and drinks.  

    On a final note: Everyone has those moments where they embrace indecision.  Why do they seem to happen to me most often when a bartender asks what I'd like to drink?  The last thing the person behind the bar wants to hear is "I don't know. What's a good shot?" But I have to say, the afternoon bartenders can respond without missing a beat.  I had a delicious Oatmeal Cookie shot the other day on their recommendation. A shot that's not new to me, but doesn't come to mind first when I'm thinking of delicious shots. Also, not everyone knows how to perfectly make these treats (Shane does though! Hot damn, they're good.) And they're a lot less messy than a Flaming Dr. Pepper.

    * Cheers, all! * And bottom's up! *

    Came here around 10pm on a Saturday night.  The parking situation is slim so you may have to drive around a while to find a somewhat close spot.  The place was packed.  There was a 1 hour wait for a pool table so we just grabbed a table by the bar.  The small dance floor quickly filled with a weird drunk crowd that made for some entertainment.  

    This is a cool concept, but if the owner put some money into making it look a little nicer and adding more tables and chairs then I would want to go more often.

    Wow, I can remember when they made this place. My grandma lives right behind this dive.

    Its alright here. Its good for when a large group of people wanna get together and just hang out. There is plenty of room to accommodate a large crowd.

    Not only do they have pool but they have pingpong, badminton, and the occasional beer pong tournaments.

    The atmosphere is friendly with nice staff. There are plenty of TVs  to watch sports and root for your favorite team.

    Tuesdays they usually have a generic taco Tuesday theme. They put out chips & salsa and other condiments for free. Its a help yourself kinda deal. Not bad if you ask me.

    Parking can be a headache. A quick tip, don't park on the court behind Masses since it's permit parking only. These old people don't like loud, drunken people parking on their turf causing a ruckus, ha ha!

    It's hard not to compare this location to their old Pleasanton location. That place was THE spot! Walnut Creek is nothing fun compared to Pleasanton - oh how I miss it!

    Masses is a pretty chill spot if you just want a kick back type of night. Nothing crazy special about it.

    Both times I came here, I enjoyed myself. Definitely not a pool buff but it was fun to learn. They have a pretty tiny dance floor that you share with tables. The bathroom is just as small and not well kept.

    The biggest plus: A full bar and no dress code! It is definitely a laid back spot!

    Cover charge is pretty much the same all over Walnut Creek with it being about $5 to get in. You have to reserve your pool table, so make sure you get it right when you get there because it may take a minute to get to you. Drinks are pretty reasonably priced.

    If you're looking for a place that has a wide variety activities, Masses would be it. I had to use up a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> certificate so I grabbed a few friends here and got some food. They do have bocce ball which is kinda cool. The shuffle board wasn't working! Service is also minimal. Some dude actually asked ME to get him two beers...Seriously get some staff out on the floor. I was merely making sure someone wasn't running off with the tip I left on the table. Wearing a hoodie and plain clothes doesn't exactly make me look like a worker.

    I chose this location because it was a good meeting point for friends. I would definitely pick a different place if I didn't have limited options. I don't know if I'd go here again, unless a group wanted to meet here again.

    I  come here  at least once a month  with my work crew. Its  a very down to earth, t-shirt and jeans place with a biker boy  twist atmosphere with pool tables, ping pong, updated joot box  and cheap drinks.

    During the week days from  3 to 6 , there is Happy Hour with a complimentary taco bar  equipped with the basics:  taco meat, salsa ,chips, cheese, sourcream and tomatoes. After 10pm on Fridays , the back floor opens with a DJ with  R&B , hip hop and pop music.

    I give it two stars because its not a place  that I would recommend with my own preference as I  like  more of the sophisticated, high ceiling, lavish furniture with a business casual or "dressier" crowd- and this place is the exact opposite.

    If you like to watch football with ex-frat boys and the girls who love (or at least lust after) them, this is a very good place for you.  

    If you're not that person (*raises hand*)... prepare to be ignored.  By everyone, staff and patrons alike.

    Oh and the chick who kept screeching over and over "I like to feel ass.  I don't care about face, arms, or chest,  I like to feel ass"  ...she was awesome.

    Dress code  =  Raider Jersey.

    I've gone here a handful of times with no problems, usually during the week. But the last 2 times I've gone have been pretty shady. One night me and the boyfriend ordered a couple drinks and my bf got to talking with one of the male bartenders, a little while later when we were about to leave, the bartender gives my bf another drink (without him ordering one) long story short we assumed that one would be on the house. But he charged us and then tried to act like we had ordered more drinks than we really did and mentioned the last one WAS on him. Finally he took it off our tab. But I think he was trying to play us. LoL
    A little wary about going back there my friend wanted to go one weekend. I used my card and wrote the tip. Later I checked my bank statement to find out they added a couple extra bucks to it.

    Not sure I'll be going again. If I do I'll probably bring cash and close my tab. Scammers for sure.

    Also the parking lot gets really packed and the police like to patrol the area.

    Was expecting a quiet evening in with the bf... wound up here celebrating his friend's bday instead.

    And...

    Holy neck tattoos!!! Never before have I seen so many neck tattoos in one place! Hey, I like the bad boy type (tattoos, muscles, etc) as much as the next girl, but this was a bit extreme. I don't want to be one to judge, but 90% of the clientele (although very friendly) looked like they had just been released from West County Detention Facility. Just sayin'

    The interior is large and open with big screen TV's everywhere. I was told that they have dancing, though I did not witness any dancing while there. Dancing seems a little odd in a pool hall, but to each their own. The servers were efficient. We received our drinks in a timely manner. The food was okay. Our table ordered a plate of nachos. Portions are enormous.

    There's a $5.00 cover to get in. We weren't asked to pay a cover. It helps if you know people at the door.

    On one level, Masses is a large version of the neighborhood pool hall, but with out the snooker table and the tobacco smoke. I have driven by this back part of the WC many times, but actually walked down here the other day from my car repair place.

    The pool tables are up front and the bar is in back. I sat down with a Big Daddy IPA (Draft) and some chips and awaited the inevitable "Your car is ready, but..." call. Service was nice, the salsa complemented the fresh chips well, and it was a comfortable place to just hang out. I was also impressed with the specials and events board and a pretty robust menu for a place like this.

    At the same time, it's a little dark in the non-playing areas and the facilities are such that I can't imagine having a group dinner here. I'm also thinking that this place could really use an outdoor patio on the cafe side to lighten things up. I'm also thinking that I would be back, but during the quieter mid-day and early evening times, and with a few friends.

    Masses is never my first choice.

    When I was younger, I remember the great summer, July 2002! They had FREE pool for the entire month! They even had a free buffet at 4 PM. These were the happy memories of Masses, when anytime we came in to play a round, we would always bump into a group of friends. I love playing pool and this was the jam!

    Nowadays, it's a much different scene.

    PROS:

    -  There's free pool after 9 PM on Sundays and Mondays. They did take it away for many months, but I hear they've brought it back. They also tried to do $10 for unlimited pool for the night. I don't think either of these attempts were successful.

    - Lots of tables in decent condition

    - The cues are in ok shape

    CONS:

    - Horrible crowd full of drunk, macho idiots and their ladies. There's always, without a doubt, a fight here.

    - Horrible bouncers! They give grief to everyone except for the few regulars they're cool with. Also, the bouncer wouldn't accept my friend's ID (formal driver's license) from England. This is the ONLY place in 6 months now that hasn't accepted his ID.

    - Bad music selections. Sometimes it's non-stop country -- Mondays, I think. On Sundays, it's just the bad pay jukebox. Think a lot of rap-rock.

    - Mediocre staff. My friend was charged twice for a drink that he had already paid for at the bar. The waitress refused to listen to his explanation and actually started a fight with him about it. Totally ridiculous.

    Masses, no thank you...

    I can't see why people come here. I only come here when I'm really craving playing pool on non-bar sized tables, when I'm broke, on Sundays and Mondays, when it's free. And even then, it's been a long time! Last time I somehow decided we should give it a go, my friend's British ID was rejected. FAIL.   It was probably for the best!

    After dropping our girls off in Walnut Creek for the sneak preview of New Moon - the hubby and I decided to go kill some time while we waited for the movie to get over.

    We picked Masse's!  I'm not a big 'fan' of WC spots simply because its not my area of comfort.  I find the people uptight and snotty and the vibe way too "unreal" for me - so when we drove past Masse's we knew that was the spot we'd spend the next few hours in.

    Where else can you get:  beer pong, darts, pool, strong drinks, cute servers, a live band where they pull up folks from the audience to belt out the lyrics with the band, food that tastes better after a couple of said strong drinks,  a boobie cake for some guys birthday and a free well drink ticket on Thursday nights for the ladies?

    You guessed it, Masse's!

    I'm surprised at all the bad reviews...we've only been here about three times ever, and each time we've had a blast!

    Came here for a friend's birthday. It's an a pretty awesome place in that they've got lots of pool tables, and a few a games to play.

    It's a decent place to gather a large group of friends to catch up.

    Then why 2 stars? Well, they were kinda expensive, the place was full of just men (on ladies night), and they didn't turn off the jukebox while the live cover band was playing.

    My first drink was a gin and tonic. The only way I could describe the rubbing alcohol smelling stuff is:

    It tastes like my mouth does the morning after a night of drinking.

    So, then I ordered a jack and coke. It was fairly heavy on the whiskey, but coke lacked any flavor. Almost pure carbonation.

    Ok ok, so they don't do mixed drinks very well. I guess it's time for a beer. You can't mess those up, so I finished my night off with beer.

    I also had the bite of a friend's pizza. It wasn't half bad. I don't know how much it cost, but it may very well have been to expensive. He described the pizza as "marinara sauce on bread," so he obviously wasn't pleased about it.

    Would I come here on my own just to hang out? Probably not. You'd only find me back here if it was for someone's birthday.

    Strike one: Expensive.  

    Strike two: Tables are barely playable. The felt is knicked, and most tables have beverage stains on them.

    Strike three: Either clueless customer service or liars. (See below)

    I went to Masse's on 7/6 of this year, which was a Monday.  I was informed by two employees that Masse's offered free pool on Sundays and Mondays.   What luck!  We commandeered two tables near the door, ordered pitchers of beer, plates of food, and played pool until almost midnight (6 hours on 2 tables).  When we go to settle up, the pool time was discounted off of the tab (almost $100), and all was good.

    Two weeks later, on a Monday (7/20), I go in with another group of people.  Only getting one table this time, we order up pitchers of beer, plates of food, and stay till about 9PM.  When settling the bill, I notice there's around $50 extra.  I ask about it, and they tell me it's for table time.  

    "What about free pool on Mondays and Sundays?", I said.  

    "We don't do that, except after 9.", says the cute blonde behind the bar.  

    "A couple weeks ago, I got almost $100 in free pool, and your bar guy told me there was free pool on Mondays.", says I.

    "Yeah, I don't know about that."... and then she walks off.

    So, I'm pretty much done with Masse's.  Atleast until I read a few months worth of stellar reviews.

    ok don't come here for the live band and/or dancing...unless you're over 40 (sorry). Don't come for the cute guys or girls...cuz I didn't see any.  Cheezy guys with cheezy pick up lines.

    There's pool tables, ping pong...not sure what else. The staff is friendly. Would I come back? No way.

    Don't go to this place on St. Patty's day with merely a Passport instead of a Cal ID. Apparently a Passport (and I quote) "  Doesn't mention about height, weight, color of your hair or eyes" (unquote) and they'll turn you away!

    Dang, it let's me into the United States of America!!!!... but just not into a crappy bar like Masses.

    This place serves really good food. I have a friend who is addicted to their burgers. She will just suddenly go, "I need a Masses Burger!" and her husband will just drive her there to eat.

    Today, I had a Chicken Burrito, in a Spinach Tortilla, with the guacamole and sour cream on the side. Even their chips were yummy and homemade. My lunch partner had Fish and Chips and she specifically asked that they cook them longer than normal so the crust would be hard and not mushy and they did it perfectly.

    Lunch time is the best time to go because there is barely anyone there and you can have a conversation even with the music going.

    I have been there on St. Patrick's Day and other busy nights, like Saturday, and the service is always good and the food is always good even if its super busy with drunks all over.

    Oh yeah they also have good beer too.

    My bosses really like to come here for a beer every now and then, so I find myself here with them when we're not at Pyramid.  I'm not sure why they like this place.  It's great with all the pool tables, but if you're siting by the bar, it's loud.  And then they turn the music on, and that's even louder.  Most of them time we go there, we joke about how loud it is and how we can't hear, to which someone always responds with "What?? I can't hear you!"

    Aside from noise, they offer a wide variety of beers, which works if you're a beer drinker (which I'm not).  I've only had the nachos there which I can't say I was fan with.  I prefer my nachos to be covered in fresh cheese, and not the cheese sauce or the kind that comes out of a can (not sure which it was, but I think it was a cheese sauce).

    This is a larger version, and a bit more ghetto version of the Sunshine Saloon in Pleasanton.  Like Christine C. says, it definitely is closer to Concord than Walnut Creek.  As you walk in, there are over half a dozen pool tables, and straight in the back is the bar and dance floor.  Music selection by the DJ (this past Friday night) was a bit sketchy and at one point, the music suddenly stopped for a couple of minutes.  Large group of people started booing.  The sound system was wack just b/c you can barely hear the song...but you can definitely feel the bass.  It was like like riding in a grey scrapper Buick in Oakland.  Drinks were average, and service was quite fast with the number of bartenders they have working.  

    One thing to note.  No fights as the place closed at 2 am.  +1 star!

    I grew up in a small town. By small town I mean one grocery store, two gas stations a McDonalds, a hole-in-the-wall diner, 2 feed stores and about 10 "watering hole-type" establishments. ( can you say hick-ville ?)
    That is why I now live here, in Walnut Creek, were we frown upon anything less than uppercrest.  Well I thought any establishment providing refuge to the freaks and hicks and generally blue collar workers would be run out of town, until I came here. -- I guess I will have to move back to Laguna to have 100% hick free living.

    When I come to Masse's the smell, the patrons, and the crappy pool tables remind me my high school years. Honestly I have yet to find such a eclectic gathering place. There are guys in suits, guys in jeans and tattered tshirts, and girls well..  they mostly look like home grown ones if you know what I mean. ( lots of cougars too !)

    They make a mean hamburger at lunchtime and the preggers bartenders know how to pour a drink. Honestly it's one of my favorite spots, you dont need reservations, there is never a wait and no one there judges ( well except for me ..) .

    I went here for a friend's birthday party.  Music was so loud I couldn't even have a conversation with someone I was standing right next to. I hate that.  It was impossible to get a drink in 10 minutes, because there was a ungodly mob of people at the bar.  

    On the bright side, they did make stiff drinks, but the kiss of death was a cover charge.

    Not one of my favorite places.

    There are several things I really dislike about this place. First would be that I hate...or maybe loathe is a better word... their DJ/ karaoke nights. You can't hear people two inches from you speaking. The sound takes over the entire bar and most of the time it's not music you particularly want to hear.

    Second would be that they have a cover charge. As if 20 or so bucks for a table isn't enough to pay to spend time here. (Try Crogans, they only have one table, but it's a buck a game and theres no cover)

    The last is that they have pretty bad service. Walk up to the bar and order because if you order from a waitress it takes a half hour or sometimes longer for them to show up.

    I gave it a two because I'd still go if someone asked me, but I wouldn't offer it up as a choice.
