Actually the rating should be LOVE IT, because I go to The Bank Shot Bar & Grill regularly and have a consistent experience with each visit. As a professional, it was hard finding a place where the crowd is diverse, food is good and atmosphere friendly. I found all of those things here. It is nestled in a spot that I wouldnt have imagined, however to me is the best bar in area where I can unwind, drink, eat and play on well maintained pool tables. Multiple TVs to watch sporting events, best on game day (I think they have the NFL ticket). The staff are courteous and the location is conveniently located with easy access to routes 198/32 and 295. I have and will continue to recommend The Bank Shot Bar & Grill to friends and family alike. One may consider me biased as I am at the bar weekly, however I wouldnt return or patronize the bar if I didnt have a good reason to return!

The Google user who made the comment about "children size" tables, is totally off base, because I know for a fact that they have three 9 foot tables, in addition to twenty 7 foot tables, and if he would have taken the time to inquire, he would have found out that the reason they have so many (smaller) tables is because they have pool leagues and various tournaments for the community, and by having the smaller tables they can accommodate more players and teams. So I dont know what hes talking about because this place has always had 9 foot tables and Ive been going there since theyve been open. Plus they have coed, as well as All Ladies Only pool leagues.

I would recommend this place. I havent found any other halls with such nice tables. Have been coming to this place non-stop for many months now. They have very nice tables and keep them in top condition. I for one love the 7 tables, not sure why theres so many negative comments about them. Food is good, no better or worse than most other bars. If youre looking for top notch food, you might as well go to a dedicated restaurant... I enjoy all the bartenders/staff (then again, I tip 20+%, so Im sure they like me.)

The biggest problem is they allow vaporizer. Vaporizers spread disease, especially tuberculosis. One jerk was using one that fogged half of the building in a sticky disgusting vapor smoke. Besides ruining nice tables it totally changed the way the balls roll on the table. The food is way over priced. The waitress acts like she is doing you a favor to wait on you. This is not a family place to play pool. It is reminiscent of the smoke filed billards days only worse.

Excellent Menu… Attractive, Helpful and Courteous Staff… and a Clean, Fun and Friendly Atmosphere… If this is what you are looking for then Bank Shots Bar and Grill has all this and much more. It’s a great place to meet friends for happy hour, watch your favorite sporting event, or meet new people. If you a pool player, Bank shots is the awesome place to shoot. Bank Shots has the best pool tables in the area. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

The burger was better than any Ive eaten I the past year. I didnt expect much but then pleasantly surprised by the juicy flavor paired with a fresh roll. Not a large but good selection of tap beers. Summer Rental ipa and fat sliced crispy onion rings with the burger made the meal perfect. The staff were real friendly and conversation made this a great lunch. Thank you

"The dive to end all dives" as a friend put it. Odd little place in the middle of nowhere off that you could miss if you blink. Average dive bar with slightly above average selection in drinks. Difficult to get a pool table at peak times, however tables are in quite good condition. Food is no par with most bar food, if not a bit more greasy that average.

Overpriced food. Overpriced drinks. Overpriced pool. All but 3 of their pool tables are the smaller "bar size" tables. I find this to be very strange for a supposed pool hall. They charge for water. $1.50 per bottle of cheap water. They do not provide tap water. There is no reason at all to go here.

Been going here for several years. Everything costs extra at the this place. Extra honey mustard or BBQ sauce is $1.00 extra. They dont do free water nor free refills. Service leaves a lot to be desired. Only reason I go here is because its the only pool hall nearby. Food is pretty good overall.

Forced us to buy bottled water in steadying letting us drink tap water even though we were paying customers. Flat beer on tap. Didnt pre-disclose the minimum tab amount required. Slow service. Great place to drink if youve never been to a proper bar.

Horrible food. Took 1 hour to get a chicken salad sandwich that tasted terrible. Potato wedges were cooked in old grease. Staff was not friendly and waitresses were non-existent. Will not go back.

Came across this place before going on the military base and there happy hour is the best. The food is ok (i can do without). Plenty of games to play like pool and darts etc. Plenty of parking.

Great people and a variety of activities including pool league and karaoke, but music is wack and when you play the jukebox, it plays in a totally different area then where the box is!

To the gentleman that really liked the wings... Im not sure who gave you the information, but I order the wings to-go all the time. Bank Shot has the best wings Ive found so far.

Awesome pool hall. Tables are flat and the cues are straight. No complaints from me. 5 stars despite Shaun always kicking my ass in pool.

Friendly people, pool, and poker leagues. Great service with decent food. Cheap drinks, darts, and tv locations are good for game day!!

Its ok,if you just prefer to shoot on the children size tables,not much of a challenge if your use to shooting on 9 foot tables.
