This is not a billiards hall by any means. It’s big, lots of pool tables, and games but don’t let that fool you. It’s a party hall for college kids. It’s cleaner then a dive bar, but not by far. A giant connect 4 game on a pool table made me feel disgusted what I walked into. The pool tables are not level, and the rack of balls we were given to play with were beat. The cue ball was so beat up it hopped when rolled across the table. The house sticks were beat, no tips, and laying on the ground.Paying $15 a person was joke. East Ridge Billiards charges the same and cares way more about the game, service, and customer.The staff was more concerned about drinking and taking shots with the patrons or their friends then giving good service. The lead bartender was scene on the dance floor, rather then behind the bar.This is the first review I’ve written, and probably the last. Cafe 35, please hold some higher standards for being a billiards hall.

Every table we tried to play on was very unlevel. Almost all of the house cues were missing tips or cracked/broken. Some tables had large gouges in the felt which was worn smooth in places. We were given regulation size balls but not told which tables were regulation and which were for the smaller balls. However the house music was decent and it was clean and pleasantly lit. Good atmosphere but not a great place for good pool tables.

It was my very first time here. This place is big!!!! I love the vibe and feel it has. Owners are very nice and welcoming. I never really leave the city for a hangout but this was nice. So many games to keep you entertained and engaged. I will definitely return.

Classic pool hall. Nice long bar, friendly staff. Good place for party's or just smacking some of that ivory

It's a pretty chill place that I didn't even know existed... great billiards hall, great atmosphere... but if there is an actual Cafe, as some photos would suggest, I completely missed it... but I also went later in the evening... in any event, it's definitely worth a return trip... ??

Nice bar. Friendly atmosphere. Lots of games and space to keep you occupied.

One of my favorite places to vibe at! The atmosphere is so sick and modern. Reminds me of LA and NYC

It was very laid back and fun. Attended a birthday party and had a blast. Very clean and everybody was respectful of each other even people that weren't there for the party

If I could give this place no stars that would be awesome because it is absolutely a dive when it comes to being considered a billiard Hall. The floors are falling apart and are filthy, the bathrooms are less than adequate, the drink selection is terrible, the atmosphere is cold and uninviting, and all the tables are unlevel and the pool balls are not even up to code. If I were you I would not waste one dime at this place and it's worth the drive to go to some other place such as Diamond billiard Hall which I highly recommend been there several times with no complaints to the point where we were enticed to actually purchase a pool stick there and got to know the owner personally who was always on the floor and making sure everyone was taken care of and having a great time. This place has one person running the establishment to which is behind the bar vaping the entire time until you walk up and actually get her attention. Again my recommendation don't waste your time and money.

Fire spot Hakan is super dope. Drinks are nice and the atmosphere is chill. Went there for my boys bday party and we had a blast. Definitely a 5 star spot.
Upon entering the establishment we immediately noticed this was a step above the norm. The entrance and entire facility is extremely clean, well lit, inviting, and truly welcoming to everyone. It was elating to see families~yes parents with their children & friends playing billiards. There is pleasant music heard overhead and throughout~creating a fun & festive atmosphere. We also noticed there were parties of teens, young adults, & couples enjoying date night present, all appearing happy with smiles & joyous demeanors. Have been back for 3 visits, and many many more visits yet to come.

We had a great time and the birthday boy and his son treated us like family. I even met a wonderful bartender Courtney. Thanks for all the love and concern for me and my daughter. She looked out for us and I appreciate it very much.

Fun atmosphere. Extremely clean. Everything is brand new. Decor is really nice. So much fun things to do. There was like 16 or so pool tables, 2 dart boards, corn hole, very large connect 4, lots of areas to just sit and chill, nice bar. TVs to watch sports on. Huge screen where they had more sports playing. Good music, lively place. Everything you want at hang out spot and more.Highly recommend. Will not disappoint.

The price is very reasonable, the place is very clean, and the owner is very nice. Most importantly, it was so surprised to find a mahjong auto machine here. It’s definitely a good place to spend ur weekend.
