Shady Nook

Jess is my favourite bartender. I trust her to make me a tasty cocktail whenever I can't decide on what I want (which is usually the case). She has the best customer service, very attentive and friendly. Small bar but I go for the pool whenever I'm in the area. They have two diamond tables. You can bring your own food. There's a good pizza/Italian spot next door and a Mexican restaurant nearby too. Also, the cleanest women's restroom in all the bars I've been to in the area and that's a huge plus in my book.

I had a good time here on a Saturday night! Seriously, have never seen such a diverse crowd in my life! Every age, race, orientation. The 2 pool tables were full the entire night, unfortunately. Better put your name on the board & be able to win the table if you want to play with friends. One other thing - Google told me they had free jukebox on Saturday nights after 8pm (staff load it up with money, a review said). This was not true. The jukebox was pretty well occupied already by 8pm, so it was $1 to play a song, hopefully, at some point, or $5 to move the song to the front of the line. That's an absurd price, so I wasn't able to pick any tunes. My friends & I enjoyed some conversation & tall mugs of beer, surrounded by good energy & other people's unremarkable music selections. =)

I had a blast here when I went last year! The bartender Shayla treated my group and I with a warm welcome and had us laughing the whole time. She even introduced me to one of my favorite drinks, a shot of buttery nipple, when I asked her to make something sweet to surprise me. The place is a cool vibe, kinda feels like a western saloon, and Shayla was the cherry on top, super witty and welcoming. Next time I’m in town I’ll make sure to stop by again! Only wish there were more food options, but the snacks were a nice touch 👍🏾👍🏾

Really good place to play pool. The two diamond tables have Simonis felt and play true. The cues are also in better condition than most places. They have cue chalk and hand chalk too. The competition at this place is also above average. Altogether, there was about 10 people playing when I came for the first time on a Thursday night.
