My favorite pool hall. Clean place - and I mean that on every level. No hustlers or other BS. I can bring my kids here, even though they're not old enough to play pool. Daddy can rack up a few. Glad to have you guys around

Hipster Nation Unite. So my friends and I went there last friday night. We consider ourselves to be open minded individuals. We certainly would not call ourselves hipsters by any stretch. We walked into this spot and all eyes turned. I think my jeans weren't tight enough for this place. We had a good time overall but everyone in that place looked the exact same. It's kind of an odd concept that hipsters consider themselves "independent" and "non-conforming" yet now, they all look the same. bar itself is ok but the crowd was a little lame. good spot if you are in the hood, but not worth making the trek from manhattan.

POS Bar that should be avoided. OK--- I got there with my friend to be rudely attacked by the bartenders (after we had already ordered) to order more drinks, and after skoping the sparse backyard area, we'd both decided to split--small area, snarky others, and bs specials--go elsewhere for better deals. Try cyn bar or anyplace else. This bar is not worth your time.
