Mickey Milligan's Billiards

So let me start off by telling you that going to Mickey Milligan's was the single worst bar experience I've ever had in my life.  The name and decor make the place out to be an Irish Pub, but when you walk inside it's immediately apparent that it's primarily a pool hall.  It was a Friday night when I went, there were probably no more than 20 people there and they were charging a $5 cover charge to get in.  I was wondering what the special occasion was, but come to find out that they charge a $5 cover every weekend.  They did have a special event going on though, there were a bunch of unattractive belly dancers that were cycling through the stage with a group of 4 people banging on drums behind them.  I talked to a gentlemen that I guess is the owner about the children (probably no more than 10 years old) that were walking around the bar.  He assured me that they were there with the belly dancers and would be gone at 10PM when the dancers left.  Fast forward to 10:15 when the belly dancers still wouldn't get off the stage and it took the DJ playing music over the drums to get them to finally stop belly dancing.  They didn't leave though, they just kept dancing to the music the DJ was playing, including the children!!! At 10:45 at night.... at a bar.... there were children there, highly inappropriate and probably illegal.  This doesn't even encompass my actual drink ordering experience.  Judging by the look of the place I didn't want to order anything fancy, so I stuck with a simple Jack and Coke.  I didn't physically watch the bartender make the drink, but what I received tasted nothing like Jack Daniels despite the bartender arguing that if he made me another one it would taste exactly the same.  I'm slightly curious if they re-use their liquor bottles and fill them back up with well liquor so they could charge above average prices for bottom shelf liquor.  So I had them make me something completely different, a Bombay Sapphire Gin and tonic.  The tonic water was completely flat, like the bottle had been sitting for 3 days with the top off.  My buddy was there and ordered a house beer that was also undrinkable, so he took his back as well.  His second drink choice was a 7&7, where he only got Seagram's after correcting the bartender for grabbing a well whiskey and mixed it with Sprite instead of 7-Up.  Incompetent bartenders, horrible atmosphere, customers walking around in their pajama's, all in all the worst bar experience I've ever had in my life.  I wouldn't recommend the place to someone I couldn't stand.

So, from the clientele that goes here to the people behind the bar... SCARY, ghetto, and not attractive people. Drinks are WAY WAY WAY over priced for the area for maybe a 1 ounce pour. I'm not sure why I have to be, or would want to be a member here, but you better be one or get signed in as a guest to get in. Oh, and be prepared to pay a cover even if there isn't a band or something going on. I wish I could say I had only been here once, but twice was more than enough.

To end on a good note, they have lots of pool tables and MARVIN.
