👍 Great for drinking and playing few pool games with friends. The tables are in good condition. The pricing, timed based (1h or 30min), is ok if you're already good at playing (i.e if you can close a game per 10min max). Otherwise it's a bit expensive for newbies. There might be some waiting.

    (Translated by Google) It's nice to have a bar like that pop rock atmosphere not too noisy really centered around the pool table. A friendly welcome and we take advantage of the space. I would like to have the same one near me (Original) Ça fait plaisir d'avoir un bar comme ça ambiance pop rock pas trop bruyant vraiment centré autour du billard. Un accueil sympathique et on profite bien de l'espace. J'aimerais avoir le même près de chez moi

    Nice pool-bar with decent pool tables. There is no much space otherwise, so if you don't intend to shoot pool, might not be the best place for just having a drink. The staff is awesome!

  • 5/5 Vladislav Z. 2 months ago on Google • 50 reviews New
    This is an amazing place to play pool, or even just to hang out. The staff is lovely and welcoming. Tables are kept maintained and well-cleaned. And the atmosphere is something special here. Prices are a bargain for such an experience. Strongly recommend!
