Q N Brew

I've been shooting pool here for over 30 years and I don't think it has changed substantively in all that time. Neither has the owner (other than getting older). He knows the place inside and out and sees to keeping things in running order. This place is tucked way in the back of a massive parking lot for a shopping center whose Golden Era - if it ever had one - happened before the late '80s. Parking is never a problem here. Old school pool hall and bar. Four bar boxes, seven 8-foot tables and one 9-table reserved for known players and special events (and charged at a higher rate per hour due to the Simonis cloth). Tables are well maintained and the house cues run a gamut of acceptability but are overall pretty good. Lots of league action in here through the week. Once the league play clears out it's locals hanging out for a beer and a game of pool until closing time. This is a pool bar so the liquor selection is pretty basic and the bartenders make a lot of the basic mixed drinks and shots. Don't come here for fancy cocktails or the newest and priciest brands. Bar food (stuff that can be heated up in an oven) is available but nothing to write home about. Jukebox plays your typical rotation of pretty much everything over the last 40 years with a heavy emphasis on rock, metal and rap. Most of the people shooting here have been doing so for years and trouble-makers aren't tolerated. Bartenders are friendly with the people they know and courteous newcomers. But it doesn't take long to be known by your drink and preferred table. Additionally there are several pin-ball machines that have years of play on them, and one great old-time baseball machine that has decades on it. Outdoor smoking area but vaping inside is still pretty common.
