Places like this are becoming rarer to find. A clean, spacious pool hall with plenty of tables and reasonably priced drinks!

Owner/Bartender is rude and insulting.

So I ordered some chicken wings, and it turns out the bartender had charged someone else for the wings, so he didn't charge us for them. Apparently, I didn't leave enough of a tip. The following week I ordered some sodas, but he filled the cups to the top with ice. I asked if I could have less ice, he replied with I only take care of people who tip me. After we finished playing he said we didn't have to pay, I said thanks and left. I assumed this was an apology for snapping at me about ice. Following week he refused me service, so confused.

I just wanted to play pool and drink soda.

I've been coming here every week for months and brought 6 other people here on different occasions. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Majority of the pool cues there are warped. There's sodas are about $3 per soda, no refills.

I ended up going to King's entertainment in burlington. Better cues, Free refills on soda. Bowling, arcade, restaurant. I joined their points plan and got a free small pizza and a $10 sign up credit. And no lie, the kid at kings asked me how much ice I wanted, without any prompting from me, which is bizarre considering my ice drama from last week at the billiards Cafe. Life is funny.

It's pretty legit there. Chill vibe. A lot of space. A deck. Music, chill bartenders. Didn't try the food, just drinks for the crew. Picked up later in the evening. Everyone has fun.

Awesome place.
The building itself Is a huge piece of local history.
Lots of memorabilia to the town, and scenery inside.
Plenty of tables, nice backroom with it's own table and ping pong set.
The staff has always been amazing and friendly.
They can make some great food for ya, and the business downstairs can bring you food aswell.
10/10 recommend

Pleasantly surprised! Went for a company Xmas party and had a great time. Tons of pool tables all in great condition. The place was clean and well managed. Bartenders were pleasant and attentive.

A hidden gem.. I have only lived in the area a few months. I saw the billiards sign from the front of the building but didn't think twice. A friend took me and it's a great, fun place. Good atmosphere, good music and friendly service. I didn't try the food, next time. Looking forward to going back.

We had my daughter’s wedding reception at The Billiards Cafe. It was nothing short of amazing. First, it was easy to plan and has lots of options to choose from. The guidance from the Functions Coordinator was so helpful. The food was fantastic, we got so many compliments on the quality and everyone loved the Chicken Alfredo! The staff was attentive, very professional and made the entire experience wonderful. I can’t thank the people at Billiards enough for their service. We had the dance floor and a few pool tables for guests - it was a great balance. It was priced very reasonable. I highly recommend The Billiards Cafe for any function or event you are planning.

We had my husbands 50th birthday party here on Saturday. We rented the room on the right with 3 tables, if you book an event there and order food, Lucia's actually provides the food and it was fantastic! Dawn (the event planner) was super nice and very organized. The hall is laid back, love all the antiques, the building and the bar itself are really lovely. Highly recommend. We had a great time!
