Went here on a friday night with a group of friends. All of the boys were drinking pitchers of beer, which they were happy with. They tried waiting for the waitress a couple of times but she never showed up so they wound up walking back to the bar every time they needed a refill. My girlfriend and I don't drink beer, so we headed to the bar to order a pitcher of Malibu Sunrise (yes, you can get mixed drinks by the pitcher here!). The bartender wasn't sure how to make it, but it turned out ok after we told her what was in it. Later on, we ordered red-headed sluts for shots and they were awful. The icing on the cake was at the end of the night when I asked for a gimlet and was told (after the bartender stared at the shelf for a good solid minute) that they didn't carry that liquor (gimlets are lime juice and tequila or vodka).
Moral of the story: Don't come here to drink. If you're fine with drinking beer, however, you won't have an issue.
The Vegas Lounge also has pool tables, dart boards, beruit tournaments and poker tournaments. There aren't any actual billiard tables and there isn't a way to keep score, so if you're a serious pool player, look elsewhere.
Overall, if you're looking to shoot casual pool and drink beer or even play in a beruit tournament, the Vegas Lounge will suit you just fine. If you're expectations are higher, find another locale.
Being the only pool hall in the area that I know of, I give this place 3 stars. Don't bother during the week (filled with 65+ crowd) but on Friday/Saturday night it can be okay if you like billiards. Mixed drinks aren't a rip off like most places in the area, you can taste your liquor. There is a very limited beer selection (bottle & draft). The waitress can be slow but there is 1 girl for all pool tables, when it's busy that's a lot of work; just go to the bar. The music selection sucks and the room often goes dead silent when no one pays. I refuse to use it, I paid to play some NIN and the female bartender turned the juke box off or muted it! She went to it and it stopped playing 30 sec into the song *sigh* but overall a fun time if you know what you're in for.
Review Source:been going to this place since the days of mad maggies and while it's changed a bunch over the years it maintains the awesome vibe of a true pool hall. the old timers are always giving tips, the bartenders are as friendly as they come (the more you come the friendlier they are) and the big muscley guys in the front...well, they scare me. if you're lucky, you might even catch a magic show! i haven't done casino nights, but only because i feel like if i give them tons of money i should get beer/pool in return. the more you put into having fun the more fun you get in return!
Review Source:Wipe your feet when you walk OUT the door from this place.
Well, they do have nice pool tables, but everything else sucked.
Bartender looked like she wanted to die. The average age was 65. The food was from vending machines (Seriously). The place was cafeteria bright. The stained carpets looked like they may have been evidence in some crime scene investigations at one point. They have a Jute Box which is fun but you cant hear it. The plastic menus highlight hot dogs and cheese fries....I guess if you are going JUST to play pool you are safe, but don't go there if you want to drink or eat. YUCK.
I stand by this place. It's a nice laid back place with pool, darts and a floor for dancing (not that it is every really used).
It also has some awesome big comfy couches and an outdoor seating area. I am all for those kind of options.
I'll admitt the music can be too loud and crappy at times, but give me a bar that plays music that isn't too loud and crappy. It's not the bars' fault that crappy music is the only thing being made these days.
They also have live bands and comedians from time to time, got to love the variety.
The word(nay, onomatopoeic noise) "Meh" sums up this place pretty well. Â I've come out here a few times on a Friday night, which in all fairness is a pretty busy night for a bar, but some of the bartenders are like, comically slow. Â No lie, it took about 10 minutes to get a beer, then subsequently get my change. Â I watched the bartender the whole time... it looked like she was either developmentally retarded or on benzos(or both), so her lack of punctuality had nothing to do with how busy it was. It's like, where is your sense of urgency on a busy night? Â Not to mention the music is abhorrently loud. Â My voice is usually hoarse by the end of the night trying to TALK OVER the offensively loud music(which is usually contemporary pop/R&B garbage, of course). Â Aside from the marginally acceptable pool hall, and the fact that my old high school friends always insist on coming here, this place needs some serious retooling to get me to want to come back.
Review Source:Seems like it's in the process of being renovated, which can't hurt, i don't think. Â The Vegas Lounge, despite the bold statements of its sign on Route 1, is basically just a pool hall. Â A spacious one, but with pretty shabby tables. Â That's fine, though, 'cause i'm a pretty shabby pool player. Â And i play pretty shabby pool. Â Shabby shabby shabby. Â Fun to say.
Where were we?
Anyway, they pour a wretched Guinness, but also have Smithwicks and a few other choices. Â The bar food is better than you'd expect; whatever frozen curly fries they make you are awesome and i would like to find them in my grocer's freezer aisle.
We had a large group come here for my friend's pre-wedding event. It was arranged in advance, but they still had only 2 bartenders who were completely incompetent, which is a pity because it could have been so easy to make it fantastic! We had an awesome time given the company, but we had to order drinks at a minimum of 2 at a time because it took anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to get a drink. It wans't THAT busy!!
