Editorial Review for Shootz Cafe & Billiards – by Brian Coe

The Scene
Walking n the door the bar meets you on the left-hand side and runs 30 to 40 feet. With 10 beers on tap, you won't go thirsty. Comfortable couches and plush chairs adorn the rooms, as well as cozy fireplaces for the winter weather. But the most striking feature is the 18 pool tables that are constantly in use. A diverse crowd of pool aficionados, business types and college kids mingle in the bar area and rack 'em up at the tables. But this is definitely a more upscale establishment.

The Draw
Looking for the casual pool game? Try an early-mid week visit in the late afternoon/early evening, tables tend to fill up quickly, and there are some diehards who tend to grab the tables for hours on end. For a more social (and cramped) scene, come on a Saturday night.

I was there last Friday night with some friends and had a great time. We were playing pool and our waitress was really cool. It took a little long to get our food but it was worth the wait. The dj was really good. Props to dj Sneek, that boy was on fire!. He had us all going by the end of the night. Overall experience A+!

Pros: Dj Sneek and cool waitress

Cons: Food to a little time but not a big deal.

Went to Shootz last Saturday and was impressed with the changes made.Visually, the first room has a restaurant and nightclub feel.Nice comfortable crowd.Then theres the pool room with plenty of tables but virtually no wait! We had a great dinner-the shrimp cocktail was fabulous,my friend had the mediterranian pasta,and that was delicious. The fireplace was going and there are plush couches to sit and enjoy the fire.The service was good- a little bit of a wait -but worth it.The drink specials were great ,food prices very reasonable . Radio D.j. GRIMM was playing, the server said he will be there every Saturday.Nice scene ,we had a good time and will be back......

Pros: free parking,spacious and comfortable,good food,cheap drinks

Cons: short on q sticks
