Back in my youth when I was obsessed with the movie The Hustler ("Rack 'em, Sausage!") and had…read moreSteve Mizerak's "Complete Book of Pool" book, not to mention my very own (cheap-o) pool stick... this was the place you could always find me and some friends. (Full disclosure: my father was actually really good but unfortunately I didn't inherit any of his 'pool shark' DNA.) Of the few local places that were around (one in Secaucus - near Red Lobster, that closed a long time ago - as well as Castle Billiards in East Rutherford) - Guys & Dolls was always the more affordable place, the one with more tables, and it seemed a bit more 'serious' since you were there to play (as opposed to a place that has booze and you're looking to get your buzz on and pool is secondary/an excuse). It's pretty bare bones (looks like they might've added a 'snack station' across from the cashier/counter) but the tables are in (pretty) good shape, the cues are decent and... you have room to shoot! (There's nothing more infuriating than your buddy who has a pool table in the basement but you can't take a decent shot without slamming into the walls. And let's not even get started when a pub has a pool table and you have to contend with countless people milling about and interrupting your game.) I've been coming here on and off for decades and no matter what time of day... that very first table (carom billiards, no pockets) - is always occupied with some deadly serious guys trying to best each other. That's how you can tell this place is legit. A few things have changed over the years (two Ping-Pong tables in the back corner?) but it's still pretty much the pool hall I recall from back in the day and that's a damn good thing. (The bathroom is pretty rough, I won't lie.) No Massé shots!

Just Jake's is a fun place to come to on a Friday or Saturday night to drink but it's not on the top of my list of places to eat. Think I will stick to what I know.

I really liked Shillelagh's. And it was delicious. I came here on a weekday evening with my…read morecolleagues. It was pretty empty, but still felt lively because the bartender made us feel welcome. Our bartender was super friendly and she had the best recommendations! There's beers on tap and lots of liquor on the shelf to choose from. The variety they had was really surprising to me. I usually like whiskeys and bourbons, but there were so many choices I wasn't sure what to try. Upon finding out I prefer sweeter drinks, she recommended the Knob Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon. Her recommendations to others in our group was on point too. I will definitely come again if I'm in the area.

Black Light Artwork was very good and added a lot of fun and character to the space. A much larger "Speak Easy" themed room is also available. Game Equipment was well maintained with plenty of Ping Pong Balls for the couple that got away (under a couch). Bar Service was decent with a modest selection of mixed drink specials and included the classics. Bar Food was good, although the full menu shown online was not available during our visit. Give them a try next time you are in the area; definitely worth it.

Service/drinks: the moment we walked in one of the bartenders asked if we had been before and thanked us for going. We were asked if we wanted drinks and given the blue Long Island recommendation. We went with that. The drink was good, as strong as long islands usually are. Food: we ordered a chicken quesadilla and French fries which were both good. The fries were crispy on the outside and were nice and hot when brought out. The quesadilla was cheesy with ample chicken and crispy on the outside. Both were good. Atmosphere: we were allowed to play immediately when we entered. We ate our food at a high top table near the Pool table which was convenient. The music playing was hip hop. Some songs I could do without but nonetheless it is a chill spot good for friends or a date night. We will be back again!

First time, the front desk was helpful with letting us know about the process. Got the deal and went to the eating area. But no one acknowledged or helped us find a seat.

Family had a good time as well. Will come back in the future. Recommended!
