This spot is a must-visit for any serious pool player or darts fan. (Or ping pong player; there's a table not four feet from the bar so be prepared to duck!) Unfortunately I am neither. But I do love some good ole fried bar food and bending an elbow with friendly folks--and Billiard Den delivers it. This is not the spot for someone looking for a $12 martini or super attentive service. Rather, it's a blue collar, no-frills spot with equally no-nonsense waitresses...ones that 80% of the time bring you the correct drink WHEN they remember to ask if you'd like another. Eh, can't be too picky and since there's rarely more than two waitresses on the floor, at any time I've ever visited, and I'm sure walking the expanse of this surprisingly large place gets really old. So I'll cut them some slack. Since this is a longneck and whiskey shot kind of bar, I can't be too bothered by the fact that the liquor selection is really limited. The very affordable and delicious cheese sticks and 'gourmet' burger more than makeup for any flaws. Do be warned that the regulars sometimes raise a fuss, but it's usually just good-natured rowdiness. ( But it's not the spot for a quiet first date. It's a real pool hall, y'all!!) Bring your pool cue and an appetite and some bills for the jukebox and you won't be disappointed. Also, check out karaoke on Sat nights...a rockin good time. One warning: This is a smoker's bar. It's one of those 'smoking isn't just allowed, it's encouraged' kinda places.
Pros: Many pool tables, good food, amazing juke box
Cons: Mediocre service, limited liquor, occasionally rowdy crowd
