However, service can vary, including a criticism of a bartender who prioritized closing over serving during service hours despite tipping, which left a sour impression. Logistical hiccups also appear, such as a cash only policy with an ATM that sometimes does not work, forcing a separate trip to withdraw cash after drinks are served, and hours that do not always start on time. The overall impression is of a popular local spot for friends to socialize and play pool, valued for its prices and atmosphere, but with room for more reliable hours and consistent customer service.View restaurant profile
