Rick and his staff do an exceptional job. If you are looking for a great place to play pool, go to Billiards and Brews. They also have a deli and a ping pong table and darts. Don't forget the cold beer!

New owners... let's continue to check them out. Staff is super cool. They were about to close but let us play a few rounds of pool. They also have a beer license again.

Friendly staff! No beer even though they are called billiards and brews. The server said they would hope to have beer back soon. You can order pretty much any cocktail. If you are looking for activities while you drink with friends this is definitely the place they have ping-pong arcade games darts and pool tables. The potato skins were unbelievable.
