I LOVE THIS BAR! Always a fun crowd, especially with cheap drinks, darts, pool, touchtunes, AND slot machines! Although it smells like cigarettes, the only food available is chips, and they're cash only.... I always have fun at Take A Break!

Great local bar with a laid back atmosphere. Decently priced drinks. Two pool tables and dart boards. Overall it's the quintessential American neighborhood bar.

This is my Cheers!There are several bars in the area that actually have nicer tables for free, but I still go here most often. Their daily drinks specials are nice, they 24oz frosted mugs are amazing. They care about pool there: so tables are fairly well kept and cues are in good condition.The real magic of this place is the community! There is a fun community of pool lovers here. There are some solid shooters, but it's just fun to play here! And that's why I play the game anyway, for fun and not to be the best. If you're super competitive, feel free to swing through. Just please keep the vibes easy, most of us are just shooting for funsies.

Nice dive bar, cool configuration of the bar. Pool tables, cigarette vending machine. However we came in on a Sunday night and the bartender obviously didn't want business or maybe our business? It was a weird interaction every time we ordered and got weird looks quite a few times. You don't come across a bartender who doesn't want to make money or has something up his a** too often.

We own the clothing store across the street and this place has been great neighbors since we moved in. Prices are fair and everyone is friendly.

Great bar with great beer prices. Service was fast and friendly. Only downside is they’re cash only and they allow smoking inside. Otherwise a cool place to chill and play pool.

Fun little bar with cheap beer. Smoking bar, unfortunately, else I'd be here playing pool every day. Great hangout if you're a smoker, though.
