Billy Joe's Pool Room

"The American dive bar is becoming a dinosaur. Glad places lime Billy Joe's are still hanging on."

"Absolutely wonderful bartenders with a very friendly crowd. This is a beer only bar so don't expect to get a margarita or any other mixed drinks. They do allow smoking inside so keep that in mind before going. The weekend I went they even had a pot luck dinner being served to any customer. Pool tables are in the back room for those who enjoy playing."

"Billy Joe's, while providing a decent karaoke experience on Friday evenings, is somewhat sullied by the actions of those incapable of acting as good humans under the influence of alcohol. My experiences over the past three visits have resulted as thus: my first visit in months, I attempted to get an acquaintance out of the building to deescalate a misunderstanding was assaulted over my shoulder. Thankfully he didn't press charges. The second visit, I was harangued by an intoxicated female who berated me for singing a song as she sang it. Apparently, and this keeps the review at three stars, a bouncer was present the last time I visited. It left a good impression on an otherwise sullied experience. I do give kudos to a bartender that stopped me in a different location to suggest I return. The reality is that my presence will be sporadic, if at all, in the future."

"Everything you should want and actually need in a bar. Good times. As seen in the picture they have senior citizen specials. Not a discount, just special senior citizens. This continues to be the quintessential dive bar."

"Small, quaint, and very friendly. One of the oldest beer bars in Albany, Ga. Owners are super people. No one is a stranger. Ice cold beer. Great karaoke. Pool and darts. Corner of 8th and Monroe. Check em out. And tell em... Missi sent ya!!!"
