Due to pan demic based staffing shortages it’s harder on busy nights. Friday night we booked multiple birthday parties and even utilizing every staff member that we had we were not able to staff the outside area with a server. The area is actually permitted BY the ABC and customers legally CAN take their drinks from inside the bar to that area. It was a fresh air option added during the pandemic so that guests can LEGALLY drink outdoors in the outside patio. Hi Pattie, I can understand why the bar setup is confusing including the outside patio area. Additionally there is table seating to eat/hang out at, a big TV and couch area for watching sports, darts (plastic), and just a generally good vibe as long as you're looking for fun and not trying to cause any trouble. You will need to leave collateral (card or ID) with the staff to ensure that you don't walk off with their stuff when you claim a table. There are are just under a dozen pool tables available for use and pool cues that you can borrow if you don't have your own. It gets pretty busy over the weekend - sometimes there is a DJ and jelloshot vendors as well - so if crowds aren't your thing, shoot for a weekday (pun intended). The crowd is typically a mix of college-aged students (being next to Cypress CC), lo cals, Marines (recruiting office next door), and the occasional friendly old-timer. There are lots of beer options and some bar food as well. The staff is typically pretty friendly and chill, as long as you're respectful and just a generally decent human being during your visit. It's one of the cleaner and better staffed billiards locations that I've been to. This is a tried and true location that my friends visit from time to time, usually when someone is on a return visit from out-of-state.
