Barney’s Billiard Saloon

Preface: I don’t like going to bars.
Having said that, I went with some coworkers on a Saturday night. They allow 18 & up with ID after 9PM. The music was good, as well as the DJ which showed up around 10PM. Its basically a dive bar. All sorts of people inside. Cowboys, hipsters, cholos, yuppies… didn’t see any paisas. Pool tables were functional and they had plenty to go around.
The prices, in my opinion, are not relevant to this review. Its a bar. If you wanna save money go buy yourself some Natty Ice and stay home.
I would go back.

This bar will always be my favorite. Lots of tables, and excellent service from the bartenders. Emily is awesome and always takes good care of me.

Sorry for the long review, but hear me out.
Pros: This is a very large pool hall– lots of tables and room to move around. They have a pretty decent mix of music to appeal to just about anyone (under 50), and the weekend DJ’s really know how to do their thing! They allow my man to smoke indoors, which I like because he won’t really spend too much time at places that don’t allow him to smoke. It’s spacious enough on the inside to where you won’t gag from the smoke if you’re not a smoker though. The waitresses are very attentive and friendly, which is a plus, and the prices for the pool aren’t too bad for what I expected on this side of town– $ 10/​hr. It’s also in a great location with lots of parking, and they have great hours everyday, so they can fit pretty much anyone’s schedule. The staff and managers are all nice and generally have a good, fun-​promoting attitude. They also have sheriffs checking ID’s at the door on the busiest so the place isn’t full of minors or riffraff.
Cons: The bathrooms are nasty, especially if you have to go after about 11:30. They should probably have a person to come and clean and restock the bathroom halfway through the night on the busy nights. Some of the pool cues need to be re-​tipped so patrons don’t have to go around hunting for cues they can use. Now, on to the most disappointing part: the drinks and the prices. I understand that they may not want to have the strongest drinks because they don’t want people falling on their faces when they leave or having to call cabs for their patrons, I get that. At the same time, I also should NOT have to pay a premium price ($ 8-​$ 10) for a drink that doesn’t even have a shot’s worth of liquor! I was even willing to pay more to get a hard liquor on the rocks, but when it arrived, it tasted like ice water with a splash of liquor added for taste. I was hungry during one visit, so I ordered a pizza, (I thought it was cool that they offered food!) but when it arrived it was basically a small personal sized pizza for $ 10! I tried to outsmart their prices by ordering something the bartenders can’t water down and ordered a beer bucket (a 6-​pack on ice) and those are $ 20!
Do yourself a favor and eat and have a couple of cocktails before you come to shoot pool and hear the awesome DJ’s, or… you can just go somewhere else! Save your money!

Went to this place and not one single person in the whole place. No specials, high cost pool/​billiards, and not very friendly bar person. Good luck. Go down the street to Twin Oaks Tavern.

Casual date night was had here!
Me and Ronnie K. decided to check this place out, so close to home and all!
This is a very large pool hall! They had a DJ playing along with tons of cigarette smoke… which is the big turn off for me!
We were directed to a table of our choosing. They took our drink order and we got down to business… shooting pool! haha
We were there maybe an hour and a half until the smoke was bothering us both. But we did have a good time!
Although I will look for those where smoking is outside only!

Its never been a lot of people here, always just more than last time. The drinks are stiff and there are always more than enough pool tables for the lot of yous (watched the departed the other day).
