Have gone here a few times with friends and enjoyed myself every time. The tables are in good shape and there are plenty of them so you don't really have to wait around for one. Fun especially if you go a little earlier in the night before it gets more crowded. Convient that waitresses come to your table and take drink and appetizer orders. There is a bar you can sit at too, but I don't recommend it: the few times i've been there there was only one bartender and they were so busy that they never got to us at all. You have much better luck and no wait if you just order from the waitresses at your pool table. There are also a couple of ping pong tables and an air hockey table. Overall a fun, clean place to grab a couple of beers and have a good time with friends.

Just moved here from New York with my wife and if it weren't for this place, i'd be pining to move back. This place is not quite as nice as the famed Amsterdam Billiards in Manhattan. But then again, Amsterdam Billiards is considered the best upscale billiards club in the US bar none. Still, I like this place. The billiards tables are in great condition for serious players, nice simonis, etc., but the atmosphere is thankfully not teeming with nerdy hustlers or barflys. It has a nice upscale feel with the super high ceilings and the brick walls. Of course, it could be more upscale with a few more touches like lounge couches. Service is great and I really enjoy the mixed crowd. Anyway, glad to know I didn't leave ALL the good stuff back in New York. At least among all the wannabe upscale lounges for the nouveau riche and the plastic disneyland called "santana row" for sleek geeks, there's a place I can shoot stick with my colleagues at the end of the day that feels just right.
Pros: Upscale place with nice tables and great bar
Cons: not in NY.
