I visited the club today after it was recommended to buy a new cue. I met the owner Brian, who couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. He showed me the cues for sale and let me play for a while, so i could be sure i was happy with my purchase. The club had an excellent vibe , great atmosphere. I didn't go with membership in mind, but I feel sure I'd be visiting again soon. Highly recommend this venue.

Went there today to buy my son his first cue, fantastic service, Will helped us out no end! (Top man Will). Great place to play, tables were good, friendly people doing what they love. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area...... might even bring my pool team mates down for a game or two.
