Stix Billiard Club - Stuart

Wow, this place was bizarre. Bartenders drinking behind the bar (one of the bartenders said it was his birthday), this is a huge no-no here in PA. I guess maybe different laws in FL? No security staff, very little carding occurring (and even then it wouldnt matter anyway, because the place was so crowded and there was so little staff, it would have been EXTREMELY easy to pass drinks to minors). There was a group of young looking kids drinking liquor out of a brown bag out in the parking lot, the few members of staff who were working didnt seem to mind. Most of the bartenders working seemed more interested in looking cool than serving drinks. Place was good for people watching if you're adventurous, and you kind of need to be brave as with no security staff (on a friday night mind you), it seems as if problems could occur at any moment.

The saving grace here was the older bartender, maybe early 50s, had a great personality, and seemed to be the only bartender interested in making drinks. Also, he is the only one I saw check an ID.

Overall, this place is SKETCH!

New and renovated place that opened recently in sleepy Stuart. Located in the same plaza as Tapa's. A lot of constructions. Follow the signs.

No coat check but I.D.s are a definite. Amazingly friendly staff. I think they should definitely make an expansion, have an outdoor seating, and place more pool tables than just 8. Also, live music band would be fabulous! The only really dislike I have are the prices, a little awkward but they are doing pretty well starting out in town and I think their business and traffic would increase if they added the above listed. Overall, this place is a new favorite of mine.
