Recreation Billiards

"I absolutely adore this place. It has the best and most affable bartenders. Kyle is fast and engaging. The pool is great and the history of the bar is so cool. It's like a second home."

"It all depends on who you are, what color, culture and gender even if you tip good. I watched a Black man (Tiger Woods look alike) be rude and disrespect to security because of his dress code but because he's friends with, roommates with and maybe sleeps with the bartender Kyle, he got away with it. Then Kyle can be rude and play favorites with whatever customer he wants because he's a "senior" employee but the bartenders who are polite and fair to all colors and classes, get fired. But when you bring it up to management, they make excuses and cover for each other. I can go play pool at Breaktime. I was on my way to play pool in Greensboro. I have other options! I can get gigs and do get gigs at other places downtown but I frequent this place because they used to have my favorite bartender Andrew, Joy, and but I guess they bring too much of an ethnic crowd? But to be honest, Whiskey Box has never been the same crowd and class and intellect-wise since they disrespectfully ousted Angie and Andrew. What? Classy Black is bad for your business??? What, you don't want out of towners feeling welcome here because of classy, intelligent, well-tipping people like us???? What you don't want shows like mine packing upstairs and downstairs???? I guess not. Forgive me for my loyalty like most Black people but I get the memo now! Goodbye!"

"I never write reviews but I felt a type of way after coming tonight. Never been here before, Wanted to come see my friend tonight and support him because his band was playing. Start to walk in and bouncer doesn’t allow me because of my athletic pants. Would have been nice to know they have a dress code on the website before I came all the way from Lexington (35 mins away) which I did check before hand and saw nothing about dress code. Never thought a dress code would be enforced for a bar/billiards spot."

"I came here around 11:05pm after leaving the Whisky Bar that’s downstairs. My co worker and I ended up getting $6 sangrias that was on special. I also got some chips which was $1. I needed some food for all the alcohol I was drinking lol. I couldn’t really judge the taste of the sangria because I was chewing a piece of gum prior to tasting it. Lol. After eating the chips and trying the sangria again, I really didn’t like it lol. Neither of us finished the drinks. We paid and went to the bar next door. I will add that they automatically add gratuity to taps after 9pm on Fridays and Saturday nights. The bartender was friendly! They have pool tables in the back, that we didn’t play."
