Diamond Jims Billiards & Pub

I was skeptical coming here as it was very dark and sort of empty. It comes alive after a certain hour but before then it’s kind of a weird vibe. The owner was kind of rude and unwelcoming. The place has potential but I am not entirely sure I would go back.

Had never set foot in a pool hall before until a gf volunteered to introduce me and 2 others to diamond jims. Can’t wait to go back! We had such a great time. Since I don’t know much about pool let alone pool halls i can’t make comparisons but I’ll be dipped if there’s a better place than DJ’s anywhere in Rockland or vicinity. Place had a really nice vibe. Others — real pool players! — were very friendly and willing to give us advice Drinks were inexpensive — where else do you get a LI Icetea for 5!!! (Maybe it was happy hour price) Cheers. They don’t serve food but let you order in! There were folks obviously coming straight from work, to chill and play a quick game and there were families, Young kids and ooooold peeps. Let’s see what else — great jukebox, clean restrooms, nice bartenders, lots of tables. Can’t wait to go back!!!

This place is a little dark inside, the atmosphere is quite this is a good place to go with a group of friends.

I met up with some friends that I only see once a year to have a good time. We bounced around Palisades Mall, and after all the activities of interest were closed we ended up at Diamond Jim’s. There is no pretense here. The bar is for drinking from, and the tables are for playing at. It was exactly what we needed and we felt welcome. This is a perfect place for the average Joe to come and spend time with familiar people. I have no reservations about coming back here. We had a great time

Best pool hall in Rockland county. The owners are there to help. Very friendly. Bar staff is incredible and the tables are in great condition.

OK, so its been awhile since I’ve been anyplace in NY that smelled like cigarette smoke. Now, I didn’t actually SEE anyone smoking at Diamond Jim’s, but the smell implies the staff might look the oher way now and then.
Otherwise, the place had pretty nice pool tables, and the cues were not the bent ass ones you see in a lot of bars. The bar had Stella on tap, was cheap, and the bartender was friendly, so its all wins on that front.
Its hard to find fun in Rockland, especially with my Dad & his wife, so this place gets 4 stars for making my Thanksgiving weekend a good one.
