The sound quality of the speakers in the bar are not good.. It makes your ears ring.. The sound quality needs to be adjusted so that the distort sound goes away...

It is my favorite pool place in South Africa. The people are welcoming and become friends instantly.

What you get: billiards, a proper bar with a proper jukebox (which you might never need to pay because it randomly plays super vibey tunes by itself) and a Sausage Saloon ( a hot dog bar; random AF but so fire 🤣🔥). Verdict: better than the sum of its parts (so brilliant). A top 3 hangout on Lynnwood.

This is a fun pool club and bar that is easily accessible and very popular. They have an awesome balcony where you can meet up and chat with friends and an old fashioned juke box to keep the good times rolling.

I really do not know if tournaments and networking type growth is part of the venue or its just about beer/alcohol at a bar ...

Such a lovely place to shift your daily concentration from work or responsibilities to playing a game of pool and having a drink with some friends. Nice environment with an electronic jukebox and relatively clean restrooms. The barmen are friendly and attentive and the security concerning minors are up to scratch. One of my favourite places to clear my head.

Nice chilled place for a game or ten of snooker/pool. Nice vibe and music with good specials. Also has a very beautiful old school snooker table right at the entrance that catches your eye immediately. Plenty of tables for all to play with decent space.

The new owners have fixed it up very nice! A lot of pool tables, so the place has to be very full for you to not get a table. Some of the tables are slightly damaged and worn, but this does not hinder gameplay too much. Its also one of the few places that still have a dartboard

Review №34

Nice pool tables, although a bit crowded.However the snooker table really does set this place apart as one doesnt find one on every corner. As far as the bar goes they have a good range, even with two craft beer taps. They also have comfortable seating available if you wish to catch a game instead of playing pool. The music can get loud, this coupled with limited space can create a very crowded feeling. But all in all one of the better places to play pool

Review №37

The security guy stole our white ball then pretended as if he didnt take it at all. We went to the Xhosa bar lady to tell her that he took it then she told us there is nothing she can do with huge attitude then left us on the counter. Then we told them that we are not leaving till we get our refund. The manager came then gave us our refund back.-We loved that place till that happened therefore we will never go back there and so are our friend. Cheers

Awesome spot to go and play pool eith friends. There is a jukebox so tou can play the music you like. There is also a few challenger tables where the winner stays on. The outside balcony is a nice place to just chill with friends and grab something to drink and order some good food. Overall a very nice spot.

Review №51

Great pool bar. The tables are in decent condition, with their exclusive tables being in fantastic condition. This place is however not for everyone. Getting a table to play on can be challenging, and most patrons insist on some abitrary set of rules as to who gets a table (some nonsense with a tower of coins). A secondary issue is the noise. The inside speaker system isnt of high quality, so they focused on volume... Also the music is chosen by paid dukebox, so if wish to play in a quite environment, dont go there on the evening.

Review №52

They have cleaned up pretty good. Nice place for a pre-going-out beer and pool, or for a social night if you dont want to see a lot of people/other people you successfully avoid!

Review №63

Great place to get together and play pool at. They have a juke box, so you are able to request songs for them to play. The location is relatively central, near The Strip and Varsity Bakery, while also being near to the shopping center and KFC. It sits on top of Aroma and similar shops and is a versatile place where you can both spend your afternoon and evening.
