    a billiards triangle on a pool table
    Emily A.

    Very laid back billiards. The vibes and also the bouncers were cool - the one recommendation I'd make to this business is to up their choice in music. There were times where we'd only hear the pool balls and zero music. Overall, my friend and I joined two Fresno relatives whom put us in for a huge surprise. Great night!

    Unique pool hall in Fresno Tower District. Clientele is mixture of regulars, first-timers, and weekend partiers. Low key staff keeps the alcohol and the conversation flowing. Customers control the music on TouchTunes.

    Wow. Tons of billiard tables, a cheap bar, low rates, and that's that. Hard to go wrong. The back was a little messy, and I wish the music was consistent - there was a jukebox, but otherwise it was just silence, and there were not enough people to keep the jukebox going. But whatever, good cheap pool and good cheap drinks. Nice bathroom handles too.

    This is a cool place and it's different for the tower. I like that they have a security and they're checking the age... I like that it is clean inside side and I've always felt welcome and come and safe being a woman playing in a pool place. I went with my friend and we had a great time spent about 5 bucks for an hour or so so and they do serve drinks I have not tried those lately I did drink them last time it was just beer

    Employees suck. Do not go to this place. They also lose your cards. Plus smells like old people

Frank was tending and did an amazing job. I wanted to try new drinks, but not sure where to start. Frank gave great recommendations. The Pepina was my favorite I ordered it twice. A cucumber pineapple based cocktail. The inside of the bar is decorated beautifully with photos along all the walls, bathrooms are clean. They have a stage for live performances by bands. Seating off to the side if you don't want to sit directly at the bar. Returned a second time on a busier night, staff is friendly, drinks are being made promptly, crowds is lowkey chill vibes. Older adults who are mature, drama free crowd. I really enjoy coming to The Howlin Wolf. 10/10 would recommend!! I don't have photos of the area, but I have photos of my pretty drinks

There's a dance floor and even an area to play a game. I'm not exactly sure what game it is.. but there is a game table. There's a cute mirror hall leading up to the restrooms. I forgot ol girl name that helped us out but she did a great job with any questions we had about the drinks on the menu. They even have a Russian roulette spinner if you're feeling ballsy and want to take a random shot. The whole bar area is a vibe and the inside is gorgeous!
