For frame of reference I have been shooting pool for 27 years, have owned 2 pool tables and have played in leagues for most of that time. They dont have proper pool table lights. What they have are far too small, hang too low and cast shadows that affect playing. They have nothing to cover the windows which makes playing during the day very difficult with glare. The tables themselves are pretty nice and level, but the cloth is slow. While the playing surface was clean (after an hour of playing my hands werent dirty), you could see a lot of dirt in the wedges where the rails meet the surface. Learn to brush! Plastic racks. Yuck! Looks like they were using a cue ball designed for bar boxes so perhaps thats why it was playing slow. Spring for a red dot or measles ball. After an hour playing there I was definitely not going to return, but what sealed the deal was the $9/hour charge. This is on a Sunday afternoon, not prime time. Completely out of line for the quality of table, cloth, lighting and equipment. I would consider coming back if all of those things were fixed and the price dropped by half. Id rather drive 15 minutes extra to pool halls in Cary that have much better equipment and cost less per hour to play.

A great late night place for some drinks and games. Definitely enjoyed this as our last stop of the night. Friendly staff and plenty of bar games to keep any group entertained. The music was good too. Looking forward to going back and checking out the food.

Great vibes, I love how they renovated an old warehouse/factory but kept it minimalist and welcoming, not pretentious. They kept the music at the perfect volume to be energetic but you can talk. Lots of pool tables, bocce, great bartenders.

Great atmosphere, great drinks and affordable prices. Best deal is the shuffleboard by far if you enjoy that kind of thing. How many places give you an opportunity to play Bocce too? And you have the wine bar right next door.

The per table price makes this a great place for a group on a budget. Ive never had an issue getting a table and theyre all in good condition too. This is my new favorite place to play pool. They have bocce ball as well.

The best thing about west end is that they have a romantic lounge are which is west end wine bar and they have west end billiards where its more social and loud. Bartenders are great

Fun atmosphere and some pool tables and bocci ball areas. Bartenders were friendly and helpful when I went. Super convenient for those living in West Village also, which is a perk.
