Went one Saturday night. Found an empty table and played about 5 games with my husband. Great date night activity. Bartender was very friendly, drinks reasonably priced. Because food is served in there, smoking has to be done outside, which is nice for those with lung issues. Next time, we’re just coming here instead of going out to dinner first.

I’m just going to start off by saying, I’m not a huge fan of pool. This place must be very nice if that’s all you and your friends do but unless you can play pool or darts ad nauseum there’s not much else to do here.
The night that I went it was obvious the bartender was feeling stressed. I gave her the benefit of the doubt until she passed me over a few times and took other people’s drink orders who had arrived at the bar after me. I signaled to her and all she had to say was «I see you,» very sassy. Needless to say I walked away at that point, resigned to give them none of my money.
In any case I’ve got a bad taste in my mouth about this place, I won’t be back.

Nice-size billiards place in a highly commercialized area. The staff was extremely friendly and catered to all of our alcoholic needs. Everything from tables, darts, and drinks were very cost effective. I haven’t tried the food; but, the grill gave off an amazingly tantalizing aroma. The only reason why I did not rate Baluka Billiards 5-stars is because there wasn’t any background music when the jukebox was not in use. I understand that this is to encourage the use of the jukebox; however, without background music, the place felt a bit too quiet, which made it awkward. Other than the music, this is the best billiards place in the Brandon/Tampa/Riverview area.

Very chill place to shoot some pool or darts. Drinks are priced good and the bartenders are fast. Ask for Sonya or Lynn.

This place serves food and has a large number of pool tables. Smoking inside the place is not allowed, but it smells like stale cigarette smoke! It’s bad. Couldn’t quite figure out how that happened when our group arrived because no one was smoking inside. But after staying a while, it wasn’t hard to figure out. The entire time we were there the entrance door was left open. Everyone who went outside to smoke, including the employees, ALL smoked right outside the door. I’m allergic to cigarette smoke, so nowhere inside the place was clear of smoke since people smoked all night. Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay as long as we would have liked since I was uncomfortable the entire time. I really wanted to enjoy myself, but I couldn’t. If you’re a smoke-free environment, then you’d better damn well make sure you really are!!! I’ll never go here again.

Best pool hall in the area. Has actual full size tables and pretty cheap rates. Also, has a jukebox and quite a few tvs. Last I went, the drink specials changed daily.

Gotta love a place that will treat the birthday girl right. After one almost-petrifying exposure to the crab herp, we were ready to move on for some sterilization. And my sterilization, I mean more drinks and a juke box!
Our waiter at Barnacle’s directed my rowdy party of three over here to continue our friend’s birthday party, and we had a blast. We didn’t care about pool, we just wanted a juke box.
Juke box? You betcha. Granted, we got booed for certain music choices, but I can’t help it if drinking birthday shots makes me want to listen to Beyonce. Suck it, fellas, play your pool over there, we’ll drink our drinks and have a good time over here.
Drinks were cheap, the bartender was super-friendly, and our waiter from Barnacles? He showed up and bought the birthday girl us a round of shots. See, it pays to be friendly.
Sigh. I miss Spring Break. (And my Pissy Lissy.)
