Serving up delicious food
When you visit our local pool hall, you can enjoy a round of pool, grab a drink and unwind − but that’s not all! We also have a menu full of all your favorite bar foods. You can:
- Snack on onion rings, French fries or M.A.C. bites
- Grab some French toast sticks to enjoy something sweet
- Eat something more filling with one of our entree and fry baskets
If you’re in the mood for dinner, you’ll want one of our baskets to fill you up. Our options include chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, buffalo wings and more. If you’re hungry, visit our local bar today.
