  Well, unfortunately I went here 2 weekends ago after an engagement party nearby.  It was bouzouki night.  I just don't like club-like places in plazas in the burbs. I had a kiddie cocktail, no cherries? haha
  
  But the real reason for the low score was the gross people there, especially those who smoked.  Pretty sure the law was in effect 5 years ago.  When I got home I had experienced something I never wanted to experience again. My brand new dress smelled like smoke.  Can you guys pay for my dry cleaning? Great thanks.

  Hey I will give a 5 for billiards premier. In the late 90s, this place was a cool hangout for me and my friends competing each other in pool tournements after work.
  
  Also, I believe the owner is greek. I remebered they had alot of greek women who would come to the place and flirt. The greek guys hated it and were very jealous people.
  
  However , I also know many other kinds of europeans also frequent the establishments . And you will have some hispanics, orientals and african americans come by . So its a multi diverse place.
  
  The tables were big and always ready. They had a variety of video games like video soccer and car racing....
  
  The place divides itself one area of pool tables while the other side consists of a cafe/lounge/bar.
  
  It gets busy every weekend. One thing I like about this place is parking.
  Since its located inside a shopping mall by the Burlington coat factory, you will find more than enough parking unlike downtown chicago.
  
  Its a great place for people who like to play pool and chill out by the cafe lounge area playing backgammon.
  
  There are also many pretty looking girls as well.

  If you want to go where everybody knows your name...  Go to premier!!!!
  
  Its good for billiards, lounging, and getting away!  The new up-dated remodeling was a fantastic finish.   I really like the Greek parties they throw wednesdays... pretty girls go there *WINK*  Friendly people run the joint, its always good to be welcomed when your retreating from an every day cliche!

  Back in the day that was my hang out spot good for a frape. The tables are in good shape loads of photo hunt type games. Virtual soccer etc.It does help to know the owner and bartenders. Overall I like it. It is 18+ after a certain time and they are strict about carding people. They also have plasmas that show all the games including soccer.

  I was there several times and thought it was pretty nice but had a bad experience last night at 6 pm. (April 2, 2008)   Went there with my wife thinking it was family friendly and they were playing rap music with every other word Mother F this and Mother F that.  Too Ghetto for Glenview.

  REVISED: I've gone back there a few more times and it is growing on me.  But they keep the heat up too high.
  
  Located in a large strip mall (just right of Burlington Coat Factory), they pack quite a few tables into the medium sized space.  Not a real problem, but you will have to be aware of the players at adjacent tables to avoid interfering with them.
  
  The tables are in good shape but the lighting is dim - more typical of a nightclub than a pool hall.  The nightclub vibe is clearly present on weekend nights as the music is loud and a number of the patrons seem more interested in hanging out than shooting pool.  I think Premier is "18 and over".  I also heard a lot of Eastern European accents the last time I was there, so I'm not sure if this is a place for young immigrants to meet and mingle.
  
  Drink prices were slightly higher than average (I think I paid $4 for a bottle, no drafts) and the staff is efficient, but not overly friendly.
  
  Overall it wasn't my scene, but maybe you'll enjoy it.
