    My brother and I were looking for a place to shoot for a few hours. Mind you, we grew up playing and played in leagues when we were younger (we are both 55+ now) so we know a bit about pool halls and tables. We were really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the 9' tables and the felt. Ours (and I believe all of them) was in really good condition. The lighting was great, music was good and the ambiance really made for a nice evening. Beer selection was sufficient. Food options left a little to be desired, but it is a pool hall first and foremost. In the end, we had a really enjoyable evening.

    Great pool hall. The food is decent bar food (wings, mozz sticks, chicken fingers, etc). Nothing to write home about. They bring the food and drinks to you table, full bar with bartenders who are pleasant and attentive.. The bathroom are kept clean. The music was ok. Overall was a great vibe tho. Definitely recommended for a good time.

    Long Island tea loved it strong

    Great drinks great vibes music can be a little louder especially by the bar but great service and bartender

    Front desk manager is rude for no reason, we were a party of 15 people and said we had to all fit on one table?

    Great pool tables and very, very good sticks. For pool players who are more focused on the game than accoutrements.

Came through the main doors, into a nice entrance with a nice illuminated chandelier and mood lighting to greet you. I wait and was directed in. The aesthetic of the main entrance, to the walk way passing the first bar and restaurant area is nice. But once you get into the dance floor you loose a little bit of it. Since it's usually dark there you don't notice it. But when you get to the second bar area, you pick it back up in my opinion. I have been here a few times before the food isn't bad, portion sizes are descent and the drinks are typically good. Every thing even before the pandemic and especially now is just a little over priced in my opinion for what you get. I did have drink specials and when that was over they went to a happy-hour, cash only bar without really any notice or heads up which I didn't like. Because I didn't have cash. They do have an ATM on the premise from what I was told. I might come back here with a group again, but not by myself. Especially there are several cheaper options in whiteplains and neighboring towns like portchester.

Good for him. I have NEVER had a bad experience here. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is a happy one. Rene and his mom are very courteous and always on the floor making sure you have a good experience. Im telling you you have to come out here. Try a buffet style spanish brunch and also come up for a friday or Saturday night of Fun. Im sure you will enjoy it. FYI they have night club on the other side so come for dinner stay for the party!

The ambiance is top notch, especially on a busy Friday night. Packed to the gills with some of the most beautiful people living in and around White Plains, it is a treat to come here when everything else has already closed and the party. must. go. on! :-) However, I do have one bone to pick. The bouncer stationed at the front is extremely and suddenly rude. I was shocked last night by this experience. At first, I was let in just fine, told that I just needed to "sheath" my bluetooth speaker that I usually use to provide my own musical ambiance when traveling up and down Mamaroneck Avenue. I walked around inside unscathed, was even so lucky as to catch the eye of a few beautiful ladies- lucky me. I stepped outside to catch a breath - so packed inside - and saw one of those same ladies inside through the glass window. We made momentary eye contact, and I was going to re-enter to chat with her, when the bouncer appeared out of nowhere and told me, rudely, to leave at once. That he had had "too many complaints about me". I truly had done nothing to receive this treatment. I hadn't had a drink all night, I was dressed exquisitely, and I'm an above average dancer. And yet, when I told him I had done nothing, his response was "LEAVE. NOW." I mean, WTF? Other than that, it is great there. I might go back one day if that bouncer receives an attitude adjustment. But until then, I'll steer clear and spend my time at Cantina, whose doorman is MUCH nicer to the clientele and is much less likely to be on some substance when allowing people in the door.

But there's a Salsa clique here that we weren't aware of on Thursdays, but we enjoyed it anyhow. Venue Lounge is located in the Royal Regency Hotel in Yonkers, and to get to Venue, you use the hotel's main entrance. Once you get to Venue- you pretty much can sit anywhere you like. It's a nice looking and spacious lounge. Salsa lessons from 8-9 on Thursdays and Ladies drink for free during that time. Venue has a full bar and no cocktail menu. Decided on the 'Venue Platter' with, Fried Calamari, Mozzarella Sticks, Quesadillas, Coconut Shrimp & Buffalo Wings. Which was o...k but not the best. 1. The Good: Coconut Shrimp were chunky with an excellent shredded coconut coating, 2. The Mediocre: Quesadillas-nothing to scream about, Mozzarella Sticks were not gooey to my liking, Buffalo Wings, o...k 3. The Ugly: Calamari, no crunch at all. Rubbery and tasteless.... Aside from the more than half of the unimaginative appetizers, it's a good location to jive, if you're into dancing Salsa til the break of dawn.

It…read moregets pretty busy and loud, especially at night, so it's great for going out with friends or catching a game. I tried the hot pepper peach wings during the wing walk and they were tasty. The flavor is a nice sweet and mild spicy combo on the sticky, saucy side. It's a fun switch up from traditional flavors. I just wish they had a little more crisp to them. Drinks, atmosphere, and energy are really what make this place. Food is good enough to enjoy while you're there, just don't go in expecting top tier wings. Overall, a fun spot to hang out.

    Let me start by saying this--I knew I was in the right place the moment I asked for ice in my water…read more(because listen... room temp water is not the vibe ) and they didn't look at me like I committed a crime. Smooth start. Now let's talk food... because Brazen Fox hit the mark. First up, the fried pickles--super crispy, hot, and coated in a beautiful, crunchy batter that had my wife and I questioning life choices for not ordering two plates. Like, who gave these pickles permission to be this crispy and this good? Then came the star of the show--the buffalo chicken wonton tacos!! Listen... these were my FAVORITE. Crispy buffalo chicken, perfectly tucked into a AMAZINGLY CRISPY AND TASTY wonton shell, with that blue cheese bringing it all together like a family reunion that actually gets along. Simple presentation, BIG flavor. The chicken shawarma stepped in real smooth too--tender chicken thighs, jalapeño cilantro sauce, tzatziki, and charred naan bread (I think it was really pita bread). The fresh tomato cucumber salad, I'd say, was the star on that plate. It was giving "I know what I'm doing" energy. Every bite hit. And let's not forget the steak frites--because yes, the steak was great, and I love steak! Cooked right, flavorful, and paired with a peppercorn sauce and hand-cut fries that made me pause mid-bite just to nod in approval like a food critic on TV. Now the vibe... this place has that old-time upscale pub feeling, a classy modern-day ragtime feel with huge wrap around bar and televisions placed on the walls in a way that is not overwhelming and doesn't interrupt the old-time era feeling. Comfortable, polished, stylish, and just a great place to sit back, eat good, and enjoy yourself. All in, about $135 after tip--and honestly, worth it for the experience, the flavors, and the fact that I'm still thinking about those tacos. Brazen Fox... yeah, I'll be back. Probably sooner than I should be.
