Best pool halls in Phoenix: find options near you

We had a fantastic experience at this bowling alley! The lanes were clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. Sharon was friendly, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The equipment worked perfectly, and there was plenty of space to relax and play other games in between games. Whether you’re going with family, friends, or for a special event, this is a great place to have a good time with or without kids. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back for another game soon!

We booked a pool table for an hour on Valentine’s Day, it was great! I was very surprised they weren’t busy with it being Valentine’s Day. We got 2 cocktails, 5 beers, and potato skins for $50, so not bad. Nice live DJ. Relaxed upscale atmosphere which is what I was looking for. One of the cocktails I ordered, the La gumar, I did not care for lol I usually like prosecco but it was kinda gross 😅the martini I ordered was fantastic tho!! I would definitely come back and maybe try the bowling next time

Awful customer service. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if customer service matters to you and you want to be treated fairly. The customer service was extremely disappointing. The staff came across as unprofessional, disorganized, and sloppy (if you know, you know!), and the overall experience and the way we were treated was incredibly disrespectful and they just couldn’t care less. Dismissed our group and seated groups who showed up after us way before us. They didn’t have the size shoes I needed cause they didn’t have any clean ones. Then proceeded to sit us at a section with a broken screen after we insisted from the start we would wait for one working properly and did not want that section!! Ended up requesting a refund and losing quality time with friends and family. These were no mistakes and the lack of professionalism and attention to detail made the experience unnecessarily frustrating, instead of feeling welcomed or valued as paying customers. For what you pay, you should be able to expect basic courtesy, professionalism, and competent service. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. There are plenty of other places to bowl where your business will actually be appreciated. I won’t be returning, and I’d recommend thinking twice before spending your money here.

Rolled into 810 Entertainment in Central City Phoenix super excited — first time breaking out my shiny new Pelican bowling ball case like a total pro. Big mistake. The lanes were bone-dry, turning my spare ball into a hooking maniac. I resorted to rubbing chicken wing grease on it just to survive — and honestly, those chicken wings and fries were legitimately delicious. The kitchen clearly knows what they’re doing; the food was a highlight and saved the night from total disaster. The string pins were comedy gold — the #3 pin had a full six-minute meltdown, flopping over on every reset until staff finally sauntered over and grudgingly added a few minutes back. The approaches were so filthy my new shoes looked like they’d stomped through a cow pasture, so I ditched them and bowled the rest of the night in my socks. They also only allowed our group two pitchers of beer at a time — real generous vibes. All that for some seriously steep hourly rates. Nice building, killer food… but the rest? Rough. Strong 1/10. Bring your own oil, beer, mop, and maybe a therapist. My Pelican case is filing for emotional damages.

So I got to say the atmosphere is top notch, great food and awesome upscale environment. However one thing to point out is if your looking for SERIOUS bowling this is not the place… the pins are attached to cords and the pin control system would routinely place too many pins back on the lane when your second turn would come up. Even though you could adjust your score manually there is no mechanism for fixing the pins, at one point the entire score system restarted and wasted about 10 minutes of our time and erased our current game. Over all the entire place is awesome as long as your bowling just for fun. Still give it five stars 💯

This was a very cool bowling alley/billiards. Kinda hard to find from the main road. They had friendly staff. Lots of pool tables, giant games like Connect 4 and Jenga and some bowling lanes. Lots of seating my the lanes, lots of ball sizes to choose from. They had a bar area where you could order drinks and food from. I believe they brought the food to you so that was neat. The music wasn’t loud. Lots of screens. It had a great atmosphere. I would definitely go back. Forgot to mention it was 10 pin bowling. The pins were on strings and some times it would put a pin back up that you hit down but the math worked out in the end.

Our bartender Re-Ann was a rockstar! We had a large party and she was very fun and kept us all hydrated.

Awesome pool hall (+ other stuff) in Glendale. Staff is great and they have a ton of diamond tables. Food is also good enough. Phoenix is a pool hot spot and this is one to go to for shooting pool for fun or do a tournament that they host.

Bill and Jefferey are incredible banks of Bullseye Knowledge! Walls of everything you could ever need for darts. They have practice boards so you can try before you buy. They take the time to educate you and give you pointers to improve your mechanics and accuracy with your new darts. We went to 6 sporting good stores to barely come across two to three sets of darts and not know if they were going to be what we liked. Save yourself the time and go to see the Best!

The staff was friendly. It was a great environment to shoot some pool. The drinks were reasonably priced. The chicken wings were really good. There was a bit of a wait to get to a table but it was well worth it. Everything seemed maintained well. The felts on the table were in good condition. All the sticks were in good condition. Definitely would recommend going if you wanted shoot some pool. Have a few drinks and some great snacks to go with it.

1 of my favorite pool halls. At least 50 tables. Wanna play on a reg 7′ table? Or mayne an 8 or 9′ table? They got em. How about darts? Got em. Steel tip darts? They got em too. Feel like belting out your favorite song at Karaoke? Got it. Arcade. Yup. Plenty of outdoor seating with pool tables. Smoking section? They got that too. Friendly staff.

Always a good time at Bull Shooters. I went for the country line dancing night that happens on Sundays and Tuesdays and then went over to the pool table side. Amazing bartenders, shout out to Steve!

First time here today. My server Anissa, was awesome, she provided exceptional guest service and has a great attitude. The food was also perfect 👌 compliment to the chef 👨‍🍳. This place has a welcoming and positive atmosphere. I enjoyed the music being played here as well. Definitely recommend others stopping by.

Went on Tuesday night for tacos and I guess it was karaoke night. Fun atmosphere but super loud, definitely not the place to go if you’re trying to visit with people and have conversations. It’s fun though, especially if you want to play pool or sing. The food was yummy, great seasoning on their fries.

Such a fun place to hang out! It’s become one of our favorite spots to relax, throw some darts, and enjoy a few bites with great drinks. The bartenders always make everyone feel welcome — Tonya, Lynn, Jess, and Krystal are awesome! The outdoor patio is beautiful, especially in the evening when the lights come on. Always a great time here!

Ain’t Nick’s Tavern is a cozy little Tavern. Very nice people just very comfortable to be in. The food is awesome karaoke is great! The bartender is on the ball Karma you never go without a drink for too long

Food was phenomenal, we got fried foods galore (cauliflower, mushrooms, zucchini and fries) and wings. Karaoke was fun, host was cool, bartenders were super nice, so overall it was a good experience. I would go back for sure!

Decent sized neighborhood dive bar, has a slight biker theme, but wouldn’t consider it a biker bar. Multiple pool tables in the back, dart boards, both soft and steel tipped. very nice patio to enjoy the nice weather,unfortunately the local poker table takes all the evaporated coolers so dont plan on enjoying the outdoor area on Tuesday or Thursday nights, and well priced drinks. The food is always freshly made, reasonably priced and very delicious…..but anyway, quit reading reviews and get in here, you won’t be disappointed!!

The old Wild Bills Saloon! Great place to bring your custom motorcycle and hangout for a while. Great patio, friendly staff and great service! Billiards, darts and spirits!

Watched Mexico kick Chec butt last night! Lots of screens to watch your favorite game. Pool tables are plentiful and they have dates too. Servers are quick and friendly and the food is not bad. Drink specials every night. 16oz glass of a very strong jack and coke was only $7!! Well worth it for a chill hang out spot and security is great to walk you to your car if you want!

The bouncer was incredible polite when he said i couldn’t come in because i pre gamed too much. And allowed me to sit at the table in the ac while i ubered home. What a kind fellow to not put me out in the 100+ temp

Great crowd, great staff, great people. Good prices and good atmosphere. Won’t regret choosing this bar

The food is awesome The owners are great The drinks are badass what more can I say you come here are you going to have a good time especially if you like to play pool they have pool tournaments and large tables it’s a definite must see if your here is a traveler it attract a mix crowd everybody is welcome here it’s my new favorite bar

If you are a senior on low income, do not run a tab at this bar. There are no warning signs on bar saying that they put a $25.00 hold on your credit card when you keep bar tab open. So use cash. Strongly recommend. Plus staff is very slow and dont pay attention to thier customers.

I’m happy to find this pool hall ! I don’t know how to play pool but I want to really learn ! I was especially happy they had my beer to taste Lagunitas IPA original. Maddie was a great waitress served us until the end with jello shots and great bar food I had lots of fun playing darts and pool 8

We went to play pool and we did at 8.00 and hour it seemed reasonable for an hour of something I enjoy. Have decent food I had the shrimp basket

My experience at Silver Pony was absolutely terrible. The customer service was the worst I’ve experienced. The bartender was rude every time we asked for a drink, constantly making irritated faces and making us feel like we were bothering him. What bothered me even more was when I received my bill and noticed that I had been overcharged. I did not leave a tip because it appeared that an additional amount had already been added to my bill. Then, the next day, I noticed even more charges on my account that I did not expect. I have never experienced anything like this at a business. I left feeling completely taken advantage of and robbed. Needless to say, I will NEVER return to Silver Pony again. I strongly recommend checking your bill and your bank account carefully if you decide to go there.

The people here are amazing. The bartenders. The crowd. The appetizers are good as well. The drinks are heavily poured 😅 My friends and I hung out here and the ambiance is just right for having a good time with your friends. Y’all should try this place!!

So this place was okay. Music was good they played all different kind of music. But the bartenders do not clean their bar top off. There was broken glass on the bar top. That a customer that just came in and sat down had to tell them that it was there.. They stand and talk to each other instead of asking the people sitting at the bar if they need another drink. I would say way too much talking and not enough serving. This is not how you make money in the bar business.

Didn’t eat. Its kind of a dive bar. Bartender did get us our drinks quickly as well as checked on us. I wouldn’t go there as a single woman, but they did have a bouncer, parking lot lit up, and the security cameras from parking lot are on the big screen for all to see…so that was a bonus for safety

I have been here several times, atmosphere is great but the bar tender this time was downright rude. He ignored me when I would try to order something. He turned his back on me multiple times, and told me to walk all the way down the bar to the register to order a drink. I went all the way down and he still was ignoring. Funny, we as customers are the reason he has a job. Not sure if I want to go back, if I have to beg even for a Diet Coke, I was the DD. Don’t recommend!

All the bartenders are great. even the tall white guy Sara mentions 😂 The food the great, the vibe is amazing. DJs are fun and can read the crowd really well. The live music is always fun . People that rate this place a 1 star do not know what neighborhood bars are. They want that snooty Scottsdale vibe. Well not here. You only find fun, good strong drinks and bartenders that make you feel welcomed. Sarah w an H, Karen’s, kens and Matt’s go to Barnes and Nobles. Let us enjoy our neighborhood and neighbors.

there’s absolutely no way this place is rated as good as it is. Bree is extremely rude and is clearly craving male attention because that’s only clientele she’s friendly towards. she’s ruined the silver pony for me completely. And i know nothing will happen to her or her job because i know i’m not the only to complain about her and her attitude.

This place is filthy. Used cups and trash everywhere. There for two hours and no one ever cleaned anything people left. Major issue is zero service. No one stops by to help serve you food or drinks. This place could be making way more coin just by getting out there and asked customers what they want. Guess they expect everyone to go beg to be for service. No thanks. Won’t be back. Left two stars due to 4$ per person pool tables and play as long as you want.

JJ’s has a COMFORTING, OPEN feel to it, thanks to the DECOR, “JUST RIGHT” amount of POOL TABLES, and MAINLY to the the CUSTOMER SERVICE and WELCOMING FAMILY-LIKE feel of the EMPLOYEES, The OWNER and VERY DEDICATED, LOCAL/LOYAL REGULARS. The FOOD is WAY ABOVE PAR of any bar level food due to their BISTRO label! The WINGS are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and I would recommend a Wednesday night due to the amazing deals they have! Also do yourself a favor by trying one of the BURGERS, they differ from your regular hockey puck patties, by being SUCCULENTLY FLAVORFUL and SO BIG that your first couple bites will have to be taken with the widest open mouth you’ve had in a long time! They also always have amazing DRINK DEALS!!! Also if you’re looking for a nice pool hall to get in a few good practice games, find good competition, or maybe jump in on one of the tournaments they have weekly, you can’t go wrong with making JJ’s your first decision when it comes to all your pool playing needs. Last but not least w/it being a RESPECTED establishment among the neighborhood, the City of Phoenix and bigger variables. It’s a place that if you frequent enough you can start to feel the family like vibe and turn into one of the LOCAL REGULARS…. And make it your go-to BAR/BISTRO.

A little confused about my encounter last night. I used my card to open a tab. My friend ended up paying the bill. I seen a charge for $25. Is it a hold fee? I called and of course I’m given a recording stating my call can not be taken at this time (after calling 4 times) If it was for a hold It would have been nice to know that my card would still be charged when my card wasn’t used to pay the tab. No communication on if it’s for an initial hold and that if and when it would be returned. So now in order to get the answer I have to drive there instead of being able to talk to someone on the phone. Bit of an inconvenience I must say.

Pretty good place to go hangout at. Prices aren’t too bad. They definitely need to work on cleaning the place up a bit. it was very dirty and carpet was full of gum. Restroom was in bad condition and needs a lot of work. But other than that good little place to play pool.

The drinks and food were absolutely delicious! Thank you, Tacos El Huero, for the amazing meal. Definitely stopping by again! Can’t wait to try the Asada fries next!

me and my friends came for the first time caitlyn took care of us and we had a blast. she recommended delicious drinks and made us laugh all night. she’s a good photographer too

I been going to JJ’s for a couple of years now…. The service is great the food is good and also the drinks ( watermelon bombers) are good… the staff is nice and very welcoming especially Caitlyn.. She is so sweet and nice and always has a smile on her face when she is helping us and taking our orders. She always checks and makes sure we have everything we need… I highly recommend Caitlyn when you go to JJ’s you won’t be disappointed …

The bartender Kim clearly takes care of everyone and they all know her. First time here that I remember and it was a great experience. Beer pong set up was clearly a draw and the crowd was awesome. Looking forward to more neighborhood events here

Typical dive bar, but this one has no kitchen and an unusual wrap around bar. Lots of TV sets and not too crowded on my visit early Saturday evening.

This place is my go to. The bartenders are friendly and they do a great job with managing it all even on the fast nights/mornings. The patrons are cool as well, most being locals or regulars and a few new people who like to come and hang out. There’s a jukebox, dart board, beer pong, and 3 pool tables which adds to the fun environment. Tabs are also a plus because the drinks are fairly cheap but well rounded. They also don’t skimp you out on the portions. I had a little pizza last night and with the buzz in me, it hit the spot. 4/24: Had another great night at Chantilly’s with my buddies: I overheard another group talking about a negative experience with the bartenders, but also observed that they were kind of causing a ruckus between themselves. Moral of the story: treat as you want to be treated. Don’t throw negativity into the atmosphere and expect to end the night with it. The bartenders work hard doing their job and you need to respect that. Thank you Michelle and Kelan for an awesome night.

Cool little dive bar. Has three pool tables, wrap around bar, friendly bartender considering it’s my first visit. There is also one dart board, one golf arcade game, and a table off to the side that offered beer pong games. It’s kinda of a tight spot versus a more open and spacious place but I liked the cozy atmosphere and their customers were friendly enough to share the same space while enjoying a drink

Great atmosphere, good drinks!

OMG, the best dive bar In Phoenix on seventh Street in Glendale and I must say the best bartender in the world and I’ve been around is Kimmie she was very attentive, and my glass was never empty. I must say one of the best bartender around. especially in the Phoenix area this bar is a classic dive bar and it’s a must see, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend

Nice little neighborhood bar. Enjoyed my time there. Great prices on drinks. Mini pitcher of domestic draft for $6.50. Friendly bartenders and patrons. The bartender was attentive and actually checked on us frequently.

Came here for a casual beer after work, and while I was a tad suspicious based on the parking lot vibes, the regulars and bartenders in here were actually super welcoming and attentive. The bartender remembered my name and always asked if I needed a refill or anything, she was the best. Cheap beer, 😍 prices down, vibes up. I’ll be back here soon lol Had a few pool tables, arcade games, and many tvs for different entertainment. Bathrooms are clean, and women’s was Marilyn Monroe themed!

Classic Dive bar. Friendly place. The patrons all know each other. There are three bar box pool tables. A weekly tournament free pool on Sunday. Good generous drinks.

Parking is the only issue at this bar otherwise its awesome!

Just had drinks in this cute little dive bar. Bar tender Hannah, super nice and friendly!

Great dive bar! The owner Suzie is amazing. As well as the dodeys angels. (All female bartenders) great bar! Security is nice and responsible. She place to enjoy your drinks at. Just tip your bartenders. They work very hard and are bad ass!

The Rolls Royce of dive bars around Phoenix! My first stop for a birthday bar crawl every year in December. More flavors of Jell-O shots than wheels on a semi truck and just as potent as you’d make at home. Touch Tunes, dart boards, and a pool table to entertain. Great service every time I’ve been there. Highly recommend stopping in for a drink.

bro- She was amazing very attentive I heard she was new here but management has always been on top of who they hire and I have to say great addition to the team all the bartenders I know here has gotten me in and out no problem with a smile thank you always for the great service althou my bartender will always be my bartender here lol miss you

You have to be there. In person. Wear what you want. Drink what you want. Play your favorite music and chill. It’s my new favorite haunt. Jello shots. Not Ocean. Jello Shots! Whiskey Orange. BlackBerry. And Lemonade. Order an extra shot to wash it down. Don’t lick the jello out of the bottom of the cup. Use your extra shot. ⚠️📌 there’s only ONE pinball machine. Not 3. Only dumb Southpark. 🎱 Really nice pool table

If you’re into Dive bars this place is for you ! Nice cheap cold beer with a potpourri of songs playing in the background. One pool table, two dart games and an Elvis pin ball machine along with a few tables and lots of bar sitting room. We stumbled across this gem on our way home on a Thursday night, there was only a handful of people there but my pickle from a jar, corn dog , order of Tatar tots and my nice cold PBR hit the spot. Would definitely be coming back. Thank you to our bartender she was such a sweetheart.

Jello shots are a must. Wonderful service. We come here for our birthday every year!

My boyfriend and I love kittys!! We discovered it about a month ago even tho we’ve lived in the area for years and now we are here every week. Cheap drinks, 8 pool tables (50 cent games) and the staff is always friendly. Usually quiet in here even on weekend nights. Would love to see them get more business (even if that means waiting for a pool table)

King of the dive bars. Tons of pool tables and low cost drinks…what more do you need? / if you do need more, maybe not for you 🤣

It was chill and relaxing atmosphere. Just went there to play some pool and darts.

Super cheesey atmosphere but the upgraded jukebox, the pool tables and darts were openly available. Fairly priced. Mandi was a great hostess and excellent bartender, did not overserve and made us feel comfortable. Quite the diverse crowd. I would return.

Sorry the girls played Ke$ha back to back for the last hour and a half, they’ll be more chill next time. We did appreciate the very relaxed atmosphere and great drinks.

Bartender was friendly and each pool game is .50 cents! It’s definitely a dive and it looks like it may be going through a remodel but I would return.

Cool local dive bar with reasonably priced drinks. Bartenders are all awesome. 8 pool tables
