Man I went years ago, with a ton of my pals. We had a blast, the vibes were good and the drinks were really good. Service was great, I still to this day haven't had a Cuba Libre as good as the bartender made them. read more

Wasn't very happy with my experience at this place after searching all through Denver for decent pool hall... the bouncer accused my 23 year old friends of having fakes because their ID's were vertical and didn't expire for another 3 years... if proper examination or even a scanner was present there wouldn't be a problem and we'd be having a blast playing pool and having drinks... for that I do not recommend this establishment... go 4 mins down the way to Zanzibar they get a 5 out of 5 read more

Pretentious and rude. The bouncer and bartender yelled at our group because we put the tray that held the balls on the pool table. They told us to read the rules, which actually isn't listed on them. We will not be back. Save your money and go to Wynkoop instead. read more

Gerard's Pool Hall - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Modern pool hall with a nice upstairs bar area . 6-7 pool tables . Cool retro pool pics of famous celebrities. Tables are downstairs, bar is upstairs. Nice clean environment with good music! read more

Highly recommend visiting this pool hall if you're in the area. They opened at 3PM on Thursday. We went around 4PM and all of the tables were still available. We were told one of the tables were for pros, meaning it had a smaller pocket. Drinks were quick and easy to put down and the staff were nice. We were told it was $11/hour and a $300 charge if drinks were spilled on the tables. I liked that they had house rules because the tables were definitely in great shape. Also, the bathrooms were clean and required an entry code. It was just my husband and I but we still had lots of fun playing pool here. :) read more

The bouncer thought he was sick and charged $50 for someone spilling a two drops of water on the table. Big power trip. I'll never come here again and play pool and seven grand from now on. read more

Gerard's Pool Hall - Apparently a $50 spill, look closely. - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A nice place to chill back with friends and have a few drinks. They charge you hourly for pool, which isn't my favorite setup, but it's worth it if you want the pool hall experience. Service is always great! read more

This pace is horrid, the bouncers will watch you like hawks. "Don't touch the tables" and they make sure your night sucks. Big egos and shitty drinks read more

I like this place. It's just for playing pool and having a couple drinks but have a variety of people and music playing. They do not have food but that probably a good thing. We tend to drop in for a few cocktail and to play a few rounds. Because there is food nearby you can alway sip out for a bite and return. The bar tenders are cool and they have added security to keep those under 21 out. read more

Came here just to check out the scene. All the pool tables were taken but there is an upstairs for the bar and big couches to sit on. Dog friendly as I got to talk to someone which a cute Frenchie chilling on the coach. Tequila shot is cheap, about $7. Comes with lime and salt as always! read more

used to be a good spot. Tables are nice but the older lady at the bar is always in a bad mood and not friendly at all. Made my friends and I super uncomfortable read more

Gerard's is equipped with eight 9 foot tables in excellent shape, good selection of house cues, and plenty of space to play with little interference with other tables. The second floor has a bar with occasional live music. Which I liked better than the canned music played otherwise playing. Staff and other players were pleasant and accommodating. Cost was reasonable too. read more

This place is hidden away a little but it's such a gem of a find. The decor is really nice and the location is great. The bar tender who served us was really pleasant and made us top notch drinks. The tables were nice too. The only knock on it is that we're only 8 tables and we had a bit of a wait. The upstairs lounge area and music sound system made up for it. read more

It is a good place to hang out with friends. Tables are in a good shape. The bartender was a bit rude with one of my friends, that is why I'm not giving them 5 stars. read more

I've never had a more rude bartender in my life. I'm 22 and she was bitching about serving me. The whole time I was there she was saying all she wanted to do was fuck her boyfriend. I have never met a more rude person in my life. She did not even deserve my tip and told the next bartender to ignore my presence. This place does not deserve your time... read more

Gerard's Pool Hall - a bird perched on a rock - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Going here almost feels like a trip back in time. You enter the Pool Hall through a colorful alleyway and are greeted by a grand hall with an epic upper floor. On that overlooking second story is where you rent tables and sticks as well as purchase your food and drink. Perfect for a night out read more

Gerard's Pool Hall - the bar and lounge area - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Cool bartenders and clean tables. Sometimes pool halls can feel like an unfriendly environment. This spot is definitely not that. 10/10 recommend Go check it out!! read more

Received poor service by rude staff. Was overcharged for drinks. Looks like previous reviews have had the same issue with the bartender, Stacey, who pushed a member of our party against the wall in the alley outside and punched him after we were asked to leave. Also verbally assaulting the girls in our group. To be clear, this was an unprovoked attack. Hopefully management takes a hint from these multiple reviews of assault. read more

Gerard's Pool Hall - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Really cool vibe. Great for a date or a night out with friends. Upstairs bar is a very nice touch, although after a couple of cocktails you may want to wait for cocktail service. You want to shy away from heights after a couple of rounds. The bar is well stocked, especially if you're a whiskey drinker. Not too many stools so that keeps the bartender free for walk up orders. There's a couple of couches and side table with two chairs that house a chess set. A nice touch if you're waiting for a table. I speak from experience. The pool tables are in great shape and a large majority of the cues are straight. My only gripe is they keep the weights between 19oz-21oz. It's a very small gripe by the way. There's roughly a dozen tables in house so wait times can get long depending on the day and time so please be patient or maybe call ahead? Break 'em... read more

Stumbled upon this place on accident looking at the art murals in Rino. It's great for a large group that wants to play pool. There's...probably 8 or so tables and you pay for the balls and you can play as many games as you want. It didn't seem to be that busy on a Friday night but the acoustics in there aren't great. If there were more people in there, it would get noisy real quick. They share the same building with First Draft and Lustre Pearl, it's definitely casual and great if you wanna shoot pool! I'm not sure if I got charged correctly for playing pool as everyone else is saying it is $18 per hour but that doesn't seem possible with the amount of drinks we ordered. read more

Tucked away in an alley behind 10 barrels brewing, it has a flickering light to indicate the bar. The door almost blends into the side of the building so it can be easy to miss. Not a fan of the price or selection of products. I asked for their cocktail list and there wasn't that many to choose from or any unique ones that stood out. Around $10 a cocktail which is fine with me. My husband ordered a PBR and it was $5 which is a bit much for the cheapest low quality beer. We asked how much it was to play pool and they said its $18 which I find very ridiculous because there's a pool hall down the street from me which is free as long as you order a drink! I can understand *maybe* charging $10 an hour but $18 is really steep for a pool hall. Probably due to the high costs of rent (great location), but I'll find a cheaper place to play pool somewhere else. read more

During the typical weekend stroll through RiNo my eye caught a neon pool hall sign right over by First Draft. Intrigued, we headed over and stumbled upon Gerard's. The atmosphere is flat out cool. Electric blue pool tables that are regulation sized with hanging over head lamps. Awesome large black and white portraits of celebrities and classics playing pool back in the day. Upstairs is a bar and lounge area that keeps the vibe going with a modern classic twist and all the perfect little details that brings life to this place. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I happen to meet Gerard himself when he popped in and he was really friendly and you could tell this place was a total extension of himself: badass. You could tell by talking to him that he really put his heart into this place and his vision was perfectly executed. We played an hour and had a great time and a couple of drinks. This is the perfect spot to kick back with some friends or impress a date. I am not even a big fan of playing pool and it was a great time - my friends who really enjoy pool said it was a great spot! Make sure you check it out and bring some friends! read more

This place is so full of its own shit, I'm recommending a fiber-only diet. It's made for trustfund hipsters that don't know anything about pool. They charge you $18 an hour for regulation tables that run four dollars an hour max in every other bar around Colorado (Saturday or not). Add to the fact that they don't know how to mix a drink to save their lives, and you have a world-class disappointment. You literally have to tell them how to make your cocktail; it's an embarrassment of pretentious proportions. I hate it and I hate everything it stands for. Also, it's frigid as hell in there because they blast the A/C 40° below what the temperature is outside. Hard pass, and I would not recommend this venue to any living human being. To the nonliving, I suppose it depends on what kind of life you led and if Hell is a deserving punishment for you. read more

Been seeing a bunch of reviews about the Stacey bartender, they're all true. My friend asked him about the name of a beer he continued to call him a fucking idiot and threaten him. Very overrated bar. Go to Zanzibar if you're trying to play pool. read more

12/10 do NOT recommend this place. The staff are rude, the only 'good' drinks they have come from a can and not their tap line or bartenders making them, and they will try to scam you out of money. They accused a group member of ours of spilling on a pool table and trying to "cover it up", which did NOT happen. They threatened to charge us $200, but ended up charging us $50 for "damages" when there was literally nothing wrong. On top of this staff members called the females in our group obscenities and the bartenders were clearly fighting with each other behind the bar, impacting the already crap service. Don't go here. You'll be treated rudely and get scammed out of money. 0 stars. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. The female bartender was incredibly rude on several occasions to our group. Was told that I was lying when I stated the door guy said there was a time limit on tables (which there's not and people can play on their few measly tables for as long as they want btw so basically we were the ones lied to probably to keep us there so we would buy drinks). Also all the people in my party that left tabs open got charged multiple times for tabs that were not theirs (and didn't realize until checking their bank accounts the next day). One friend was ridiculed multiple times by the female bartender that she didn't have a tab open whenever she would get a drink, which she did and then they found her card at the end. Didn't even apologize. Reading other reviews seems like this is a trend, both the rudeness and the overcharging. Avoid this place at all costs. And if you must go close your tab each time. read more

I love this place. Old school, classic pool hall. Reading some of the reviews confused me warped tables? Nope, they are big boy 9 ft tables, maybe you need some more practice. Staff is nothing but friendly. Tables are some of the best in town. great spot all around. read more

This is a busy place, but I can see why. The tables were very high quality and I really enjoyed spending 2 hours playing pool there.

great bartenders, but their pool system is so wack!! they add you to ad list that allows each player to play as many games as they want at their table until til their turn. we were number 6 in line and have waited grayer than 2 hours!! get a better system w/ one game per table!!! read more

Yummy cocktails. Nice pool tables and setup. Food options from local spots that hit the spot after a few of those yummy cocktails. read more

Really cool place. +100 year old building with lots of Denver nostalgia. Great cocktails and friendly staff.

I never write reviews but I feel compelled to because of how rude the bartender was. I will not be returning.

We found this place around the corner of a brewery we were at & with construction and all, we found it. This place was super dope! Floor was deck with pool tables while the stairs led you to the bar. As long as you got drinks, the tables were free to play. How awesome was that! A plus is, there's so much dope art work around this town, which made it easy to walk to after you find parking. read more

The older bartender with the brown hair (I think her name is Kim)is so sour. She obviously does not enjoy her job. Everyone else is friendly though. Pool tables are great and the cocktails are tasty. read more

I was in Denver for 5 days. After I wasted a day or two I found Gerard's. It's what a pool hall should be. I got to know Gerard and several other pool players. I played pool at Gerard's every day after that. The people working the bar upstairs are great also. Wonderful drinks and service. Nice Brunswick Gold Crown tables. I'm ready to go back to Gerard's for a rematch. read more

I walked into Gerard's whilst out with my dog, when I asked if it was OK if I played a few racks, Gerard said sure, no problem and I'll take your dog out for a walk whilst your playing! The two of them got along just great while I enjoyed the tables. Later I even got a few racks with the man himself, true lover of the game and the proprietor of a wonderful emporium of billiards. read more

I loved this place cool atmosphere lots of fun free pool bartenders were awesome left buzzed and not broke was a good night

We are from out of town. We are huge Chiefs fans. We had a server, Stacey, who was also a big Chiefs fan. We clicked immediately after talking. We went to the pool hall with intentions of playing pool. With the Covid restrictions, I was very impressed with the way they handled themselves. However, some miscommunication happened with my tab. After further explanation, it came to my attention that a drink had been left unpaid for. I was willing to pay the misunderstanding (apparently on my part) and the waiter, Stacey wouldn't take my money after I said I had plenty of money to pay the tab. This does sound funny, but we had a huge argument right at the bar. Stacey would not accept any type of payment because he felt me saying "I have enough money to pay the tab" was rude. Therefore, he kicked us out of the bar. read more

If you're a die-hard pool fan, Gerard's is the place for you! They provide fabulous Brunswick, Gold Crown, 9 foot tables that are re-felted regularly (watch out for table #1, the pockets are extra tight/tite). The cocktails are some of the best in the area - my personal favorite is the RailBird, a tasty gin drink with grapefruit. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Steven really knows his pool trivia, if you need a cue, ask for him. Traci served me while I was here - she is very sweet (and hott). Overall, I haven't come across a better pool hall in Denver. I highly recommend swinging by. read more

Great spot. Solid bar. It's pricey--$18 an hour for a table. But it's a solid poolromm and a great place to play.
