First off, every table has the cleanest, best bar cloth you've ever played on, that includes the bar box tables!! They have 6, 8ft tables, 4 bar box tables, and I believe 3, 9 foot tables. Which all have the cleanest, nicest cloth I've ever played on in a pool hall. Tables roll true and the rails are super legit too. All tables have Andy's cloth similar to Simonis. They are cleaned regularly, as well as all the balls, they are shiny and roll perfectly since they clean them regularly. I shoot pool a LOT of pool and I've never been to a cleaner establishment. The tables are incredible!! They have the newest touch tunes machine that's uses the app as well as cash. The beer glasses are always clean and frosty & the bartenders are very nice and make sure you're taken care of. They have a few snacks if you're hungry but they also allow you to bring in food too if you'd like, (Taco Bell, walking distance). This is by far the best pool hall in all of Fort Worth. Even the house cues are clean and straight. Totally Amazed by what the owner has done here, by far the best 100%. read more

J J Dakota's Billiards Establishment - Valley Bar Box style they have. - Pool Halls Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

See all

Management is hateful and not hospitable to all, go spend your money literally any where else.

Never coming back here. Never experienced so much hate in my entire life. The people here are just angry and miserable. Awful service, awful vibes and cheap liquor that I'm sure is mixed with "top shelf". read more

I was excited going there for the first time but getting drinks was a hassle I went with my wife we were pretty disappointed I saw good reviews online however when we walked in a older gentleman with earrings at the bar was very rude off the bat we ended up leaving after 40- 30 minutes. read more

Bartender with earrings needs a good talking to by management or fired because he doesn't wanna do his JOB, Military veteran was cut off after 2 Long Island Iced teas because I asked for actual long islands and not the garbage mix from the machine. Got mad and started threatening to cut me off. The other bartender with the longer beard was really nice and didn't care when I asked for Long Island Iced teas. Guy acted like I asked for 10 of them in a full bar but there like 8 people at the bar and no one was ordering drinks and he got really sassy. To get mad at someone who just wanted quality drinks because you don't wanna do the job you wanted is crazy. read more

Came on a Sunday evening around 7 pm to kill some time and unwind by myself. Dakota's is located in the shopping strip at the NE corner of Camp Bowie and 820 and their light up sign does not work, so just venture your way to the dark south end corner area of the shopping strip. There's plenty of parking and this establishment is 21+ and currently smoking. However, Fort Worth passed a smoking that will take effect March 12, 2018. I'd imagine pool halls are included in the ban. After walking into this dimly lit establishment, you get a divey kinda feel to this place, which is ok with me. They have specials on the chalkboard when you walk in, a small arcade to the left, 1 shuffle board table at the entrace, the bar straight is straight foward and different types of pool tables for your choosing including coin-op tables, a handful of 9' tables and good number of 8' tables. They also have darts on the other side of the bar. If you're looking to play pool, just hit up the bar and give them your ID and they'll give you a set of balls. They tables look a little aged but table was flat, rails had good bounce and the house cues were straight. The bar has domestic bottle happy hour and looks like Sundays are one of the best days to go. Sun - Tuesday is $5.50 unlimited pool which made my most recent trip awesome!! Probably my new local lax Sunday hangout! read more

I gotta say I am impressed by a pool hall, go figure! This is all funny as heck, but I haven't been in one for a long time. This one has a bar and a bartender that was just the greatest and I wish I could remember her name. We took the trip over there cause a friend was gettin new tire on his bike and we went not knowing what we would find, but what we did find was a place i for one will go back to everytime i'm in the area. A must go to if u like pool or just want to have a drink. read more

Fun place to drink beer and play pool. They have a full bar but good beer selection as well. Lots of pool tables and reasonable prices. Also have darts and a jukebox to play music. Some little arcade games as well. Very laid back kind of place. read more

"Its not my day to keep up with Brook", is not a good answer when you ask if there is a tourney there that night. No tact, professionalism, common fucking courtesy was given from that bartender. It wasnt her job to know when pool tourneys or leaugues start even though they are regular nights, but not regular times. Maybe the anaswer was short becuase the tournament doesnt have a regular time and her ignorance lead her to be a smartass instead of a customer service type of employee. Which i can alomost find fair becuase the 12 man tourney didnt start til after 930, 45 mins after Brook got there. It was bad top to bottom. I didnt feel welcomed at all. Except for Damien (not an employee and the only person to be cordial in any way), your cool. Thanks for being a human being. 12 people for a tourney is not worth the time for terrible attitudes to customers from employees. I dont do reviews but this one deserved it. read more

First time going. Went with the fam and enjoyed myself. Nice cool laid back hole in the wall type of place. Definitely will be going back. If they did food I'd give it 5 stars. read more

JJs is one of my fav title places around the area. Its a little hole in the wall pool hall, beers cheap, music's great and the bartenders are friendly. Definitely recommend jjs for anyone who is looking for a fun laid back night out. read more

Cheap drinks. Cheap pool with plenty of tables. Tue nights they have $5 tables all night.

Definitely my favorite place to sit and unwind. The bartenders are the best, prices are very hard to beat, and the patrons are always so friendly. Pool tables, darts, foosball and shuffleboard, as well as various other games to keep you entertained. And don't forget karaoke on Sundays! read more

Okay, this is one my favorite little pool halls. Great drink specials, friendly bartender and even the patrons are friendly. This is a place that you could just go to solo and still have a great time. The music is mostly country but i like all genres so it wasn't an issue plus they attempt to switch it up a bit. My fiancé and I are regulars and we've never had a bad experience! read more

JJ Dakota's is a well established full service bar. They have most everything from beer (draft, bottle & import) to mixed drinks and shots. The bartenders are knowledgeable about new and different types of drinks and are able to make a suggestion based upon your tastes. All of the staff from the owner, the bartenders, and waitresses to the barbacks are very friendly and helpful. I have experienced prompt service even when the bar was very busy. And as a plus, the female bartenders and the waitresses are very "easy on the eyes" and the women might be inclined to say the same about male staff. Prices are fair and reasonable. I sometimes play pool for fun on one of the nurmerous billiard tables, including coin opperated, standard eight foot and nine foot tournament tables. I know they also have pool tournaments, but I am unsure if it is eight-ball or nine-ball. Although I do not play, JJ Dakota's has several foos-ball tables and soft tip dart boards. They hold (bi-?)weekly tournaments for both darts and foos-ball. There is also a full length shuffleboard table and video games, including a Golden Tee golf game. My multiple visits to JJ Dakota's have always been enjoyable, if not down right fun and even a little exciting! The patron's at the bar are friendly and it is easy to strike up a conversation with most anyone there. Which made things easier when I went to JJ Dakota's for the first time. It is a very relaxed atmosphere and you will "fit in" no matter if you're wearing a t-shirt & shorts or a suit & tie. read more

Go here all the time. Online dartboards, karaoke Sundays, good drinks. Fun place to go. Highly recommended.
