Top Hat Cue Club

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  The Top Hat Cue Club is an affordable and average spot to rack your balls and whip out a stick.  
  
  Plentiful pool tables, a polite crowd, great price and a comfortable atmosphere make this my pool hall of choice. The staff is always friendly and a table is always available.
  
  Unfortunately no booze is allowed at Top Hat, the lighting is bright, and the music is bad. As a result I find myself becoming bored/ satisfied and only staying about an hour every visit.
  
  Fortunately, unlike other pool halls you will find more than just pool here, A few arcade machines, air hockey and ping pong are also available.
  
  With the addition of a BYOB policy at Top Hat I could see myself spending more time here otherwise I prefer playing pool at a bar.

  It's cheap, it's fun, the people that work there are polite and personable. So why not?

  I guess I really didn't need a beer or something to snack on... but if you're looking for a clean, quiet, open spot to have some fun with a friend or few, then Top Hat covers it.
  
  I was in town for the night and felt comfortable just chillin here and playin some pool & ping pong. A bonus as always was the juke box... pretty healthy selections.
  
  Parking was cool and it was around a mall/plaza area so the awareness factor was there.
  
  I'd return again for sure if I was around.

  Ah yes, the old pool hall hangout.
  
  Top Hat is still around after all these years, even with a makeover of sorts.  I look at Top Hat as your local neighborhood hangout; nothing upscale or elegant.  With that said though, that makes the experience that much better.  There is no "let's try to be a restaurant and masquerade as a bar" routine, it's a straight-up pool hall holding nearly 20+ pool tables.  Due to the upgrade in pool tables, Top Hat now charges $3.50/hour/per player rather than the old $2.75 price.  Either way, that's a great value to play pool for a couple of games and watch some TV on the big screens that are available within the establishment.
  
  If you're feeling hungry during your time of crushing the competition on the billiard cloth, Top Hat serves quick food (e.g. hot dogs, hamburgers), while you can try your good luck by maneuvering over to the vending machines.  I don't expect a lot as far as food  goes at TH, but it can hold you over for the mean time.
  
  So...what if someone in your crew doesn't want to play pool?  Well, there's two separate rooms, one for arcade games, while the other is for table tennis ($3.50/hour/pp) and air hockey.  Many of the new gadgets were just added about a year ago, so they should be in good shape.
  
  Top Hat is still one of my favorite places to come to shoot pool, even if I'm not living in the area anymore.  I'll make another visit when I ready to win a couple games in Parkville.
