Always good. I’ve been taking my sons with me to play pool there for awhile now. The great thing is I can smoke my cigar in the bar and pool area and enjoy a glass of Scotch with no whining from non-smokers. The restaurant part serves great food.

It’s a bar, but sometimes they treat it like a club, blasting music. It’s hard to talk to people. Sometimes I feel like they’re trying to do to much, but I understand they have to bring traffic in. They have a full menu I’ve had a few times, it’s good. Not too expensive. Pool is free before 5 which I like. It’s also in the same plaza as Taco Bell I see your game.

4 kinds of great chili. Great wings. Beer and pool. Restaurant side is separated from the pool hall, so there is quiet for those who want it. Don’t see why this chain hasn’t spread across the country. It would do well anywhere there is a cool winter.

Disappointing that they allow smoking. I went to see the band, and could only hang out in the restaurant. I can’t understand how this is good for business — by allowing smoking, you effectively ban those sensitive to smoke from patronizing your establishment, but if you banned smoking, everyone could still come and smokers could still take outdoor breaks.

Went to Hard Times last night & got possibly the WORST service I’ve EVER received. The blond haired bartender was extremely rude. I got 3 tall bud lights & she gave me a $1 back out of the $20 that I gave her. No big deal, the issue came when I noticed one of the glasses had finger prints all over it & lip stick all around the rim of the glass. Before I could even explain to her that I just wanted a new glass, or beer. She immediately looks at me & yells… “I gave you a dollar back” So I told her that’s not what I was there, then she rolls her eyes then walks over… I ask her to just pour the beer in another glass, she literally snatches it out of my hand, I watch her fill me up another beer in the most rude way, she lets beer overflow so much the entire outside of my glass was wet. If she’s got an attitude that she’s serving at a bar, where people might happen to get drunk & it’s too much for her. Tell her to find a new job. Next time she’s rude. I’ll definitely report her to the manager on the spot.

It’s a dive bar, like most Hard Times are. I like the chili, and the beer was good. A guy got shot outside in the parking lot while we were here. So…might not be the greatest area, but it might have just been a one time thing.

I was looking forward to eating there and took the whole family last night. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience due to rude staff. If you’re in the group that goes there probably nightly for beer and pool, great, but if you’re coming with a family, you’re going to feel out of place. They have a “bouncer”posted at the door to the billiards room, which seems like strange overkill. When I simply walked to a wide-screen TV in the billiards room to watch a bit of football while waiting for my meal, I was approached and rudely told I would have to leave for “refusing”to wear a wrist-band (no one had asked me to wear a wrist band). The food was fair but, if you are with a family, I would go somewhere else. Way to bar-oriented and unfriendly to folks that don’t frequent there.

My friends loved playing pool, and enjoying a good beer while enjoying a good cigarette or cigar. Now this place has gone Nazi and no longer allows smoking in the bar/pool area! Boycotting this place!

My friend and I enjoy playing pool and eating the food here. My favorite is the coney dog with onions and cheese. The Cincinnati chili is good too but unfortunately my stomach can no longer handle it.
