Love this place!!! Been here several times and they are very consistent with food and drinks. They have daily specials (food and drink) which is nice to take advantage of and seems to always be a popular place to be.. service for food and drink are really fast and the atmosphere is bar type but safe. read more

Jake's Billiards - Draft beer and billiards - Pool Halls Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Jake's is the right vibe for great drinks, pool, and bar style food options. This is a nice local spot, with low lights, and a variety of music. The tap and house drink specials are well blended and reasonably priced. I like the convenience of onsite parking too. I'll definitely be coming back for another round and a few more games of pool. read more

I'm no stranger here, even if I go months without dropping in. I'm assured a good time each visit. Had a friend visiting from out of town and we wanted a chill atmosphere to catch up on a weekday. Though extremely picky, my company enjoyed their time spent in this space. We nearly closed the place and the bartenders were nice enough to draft a unique drink upon request. Compliments to the staff overall. Our food had no issues on either end. Came for a consistent vibe and received! read more

The food was excellent! Ordered a grilled chicken sandwich which came with tomatoes lettuce and mayo. It was a chicken breast!! Which is top notch for this option. The seasoning was savory. It was not as busy as my brother told me it could be, there is a parking lot in the back. We found a spot as soon as we arrived. The inside was definitely full of patrons. We ordered at the bar and the food was "magically " delivered to our table. Come and you'll see what I mean. The mozzarella sticks were also very good. Draft by red oak, cold and crisp. Good vibe. And there is a pool table and darts. A few other attractions as well. read more

This review is based on Jake's food. I am still always impressed by the quality and variety of the food they offer at Jake's. They of course have the typical bar food, but the quality is great. They also have more unique options like the Tree Hugger Sub or the Baja Burger which are solid choices. Even their side salads are substantial and I love their ranch dressing. I enjoy eating there especially for lunch or picking up. The service is always quick and friendly. And their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend giving their menu a try. read more

I love a good hot dog and they are hard to find. FOUND ONE!! The all beef hotdog is grilled; so I got it with a little extra time on the grill. The chili & coleslaw is house made - did not disappoint. Added a side of crispy tots - perfect!! Will definitely get this special again! read more

I've been to Jake's plenty of times, usually to drink and grab wings and fries to soak it up--but this time I stumbled on something worth writing home (or Yelp) about. First off: the grilled chicken buffalo wrap. I am NOT usually a chicken wrap person (too many tortilla-only bites at the end, you know the struggle). But Jake's changed my mind. Perfectly filled from start to finish, with lettuce, tomato, buffalo sauce, and grilled chicken that actually tasted like chicken and not filler. Paired it with sweet potato fries + honey mustard (because honestly, if you're not doing that combo, what are you even doing?). It was so good, I ordered a second one to-go for my fiancé. He crushed it too. Service? On point. My dog came with me to the patio, and without me even asking, the server brought out a doggy bowl with cool water. My pup devoured it like I hadn't already hydrated him earlier. They even refilled it, which made the whole experience feel extra thoughtful. Now, the one downside: the house margarita. Look, Jake's, I love y'all, but that mix was weak. A house marg should be simple--tequila + tartness + salt rim magic. What I got tasted like tequila mixed with... water that once thought about limes. Definitely needs a remix. But outside of that, Jake's is a vibe: good service, dog-friendly patio, and wraps that will now be my lunchtime staple whenever I'm in the area. read more

I'm gonna say it: Jake's Billiards has the best fried chicken sandwich in the Triad. The outside is crunchy, and the chicken is juicy; not one bite was tough or rubbery. I got the classic chicken sandwich, which is topped with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. My husband had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich, which comes with your choice of wing sauce; he had the spicy bbq sauce and said it was definitely spicy. If a place has hot chips, it's almost a guarantee that I'll get them. And Jake's hot chips come with ranch, and were perfectly cooked. I demolished them, and left very little room for my chicken sandwich. The assortment of beers is also excellent. They have tons of beers on tap, including local, NC beers. Our lunch came out super quickly, making this is a great spot for a quick lunch out on a work day. But, with billiards inside and an extensive drink list, you could probably spend a fair amount of time here, if this is your vibe. I feel like Jake's is the kind of place with a loyal following. If that's the case, count me in as part of it. read more

Jake's is one of my favorite bars/pool halls in Greensboro, for a lot of reasons! There's plenty of places to park, drinks are reasonably priced, and the food and service is always top notch! Vegetarians will be happy here there are a lot of vegetarian options! I get their veggie burgers or their tree hugger sandwich and one of my all time favorites are their black bean sticks! I've always heard amazing things about their wings from my friends as well. They do start ID'ing after a certain time, and it does get kinda packed on the weekends. Takeout options are available! There are various activities throughout the bar, there is a ping pong table in the back, and darts tables as well. There's a lot of places to sit and you can also play pool and eat at the same time as there are tables and booths all around the area! Overall a great place to watch a game, get a drink, play some pool and eat some amazing food as well read more

Once again I'm dragged back into the amazing world of Jake's Billiards. Taco Tuesday for the win! $3 Mexican beers! $2 tacos! $4 sangria. Sign me up! Loved the Baja taco. The aioli and the mango salsa were huge highlights. I look forward to visiting again and again and again! read more

Not me writing this review while listening to a medieval hip hop version of STILL D.R.E. STILL - Repping the best chicken cobb salad all across the world. STILL - Hittin them crispy tots with the seasonings girl... STILL - Taking their time to perfect the Beef, and they're still across the street from the Sheetz. It's the J.B.L. All 2000s nostalgia aside, Jake's is still my absolutely go to for the best "bar food" in Greensboro. Starting with their excellent wings and sauces, cobb salad, chicken sandwiches or wraps, a litany of "fried deliciousness", and a darn good burger this place has it all. Plus, they have an extensive beer list, wines for those who prefer grape expectations, and can make you most any cocktail you please. Just go and enjoy! read more

Highly recommended and kicking myself for waiting so long! read more

We're in the presence of a Greensboro heavy-weight. A local institution of billiards, good food, and good times. Their seasoned tots are impecable in crunch and taste. Paired with their signature ranch or blue cheese and it's a done deal. I'm a fan of their large beer menu, you're bound to find something that'll go with the food. I'm an even bigger fan of their hot dogs and tots--a dynamic duo. Service is excellent as usual. read more

Part time bar, part time pool hall, full time good vibe. Jake's has set its reputation for a good time. The people, the energy and it never fails. It's bar food but somehow it never disappoints. You want lunch or late night cravings go to Jake's. There is nothing on the menu that stands alone and shines but everything on it holds its own and makes sure you remember that they are here to take care of you. It does get packed because people know where the good time is at, but wallet friendly, good food and company this will always be the place read more

Place a order over the phone. The guy read back my order and gave me the total of $37. Said it'll be ready to pick up in 20 mins. I made my way there to and I looked at the reciept it was like $20. I saw that one of the items was missing. I wasn't planning on waiting another 20 mins for the order. So I told him to forget about it. This place use to be fun and but everything seems to go downhill. read more

Went to Jakes Billiards on Monday for dinner and drinks. They have a great beer special on Monday and beers are half off. Their selection is great and very large choice of craft beers. Service was fast with receiving drinks and also with receiving food order. I was able to enjoy a hot dog that was on sale and also got a chicken Philly sub with fries that was delicious. We were able to find seats easily with a Monday night crowd and sat close to the bar area. I love that Jakes has places to play pool, darts, and ping pong! Definitely will continue to go back. read more

The tots and homemade ranch literally summon me. I love their tacos, but this time I tried the Merle's Melt hot ham and Swiss which was perfection. The atmosphere is always chill, the beer selection is impeccable, and you know you'll always leave happy. read more

The wings are very good. They give you an option on how crispy and then they actually follow up on that. Great atmosphere for either late night or mid day. The crowds come out at night so be cautious if that's not what you're looking for. During the day it's quieter and they have plenty of options for games. You can shoot pool, throw darts, or play ping pong. The booths are big and there is plenty of tables. Service was quick and the food was delicious. read more

A Greensboro staple, I've been coming to Jake's for years upon years...even when it was just half the bar. Great overall vibe, you have your regulars, newbies, college students, and older crowd...a good mixed crowd. Their beer selection is some if not tops in GSO as far as the long list of local craft beer, or commercial domestic/import beers. They also do mixed drinks/spirits. I will say the food is one of the best as well and not your typical bar food. The kitchen staff and service is great. Great wings flavors and a very, very underrated burger. Indoor and outdoor seating, pool tables, darts, games, and plenty of TVs to watch the game. Highly recommended not just bar, but overall location read more

I have so many favorites at Jake's. The grill chicken sandwich, the chicken wrap, chicken wings, with a side salad, or sweet potato fries, or homemade chips. It's all good. Great staff and service, clean restrooms. read more

Chicken sandwich hit the spot I highly recommend it. The fries were a little better than basic which Is always good

This is my local hang. Wings are good and bear is even better. Perfect spot to come at football during football season.

I frequent here often, it is usually a hit or miss. Depending on the staff. The service can vary but oftentimes I find myself at Jake's for their selection of drinks and food at late hours of the night. The ambiance of this place is quite lively, often packed with patrons. I once waited outside for over an hour, despite there being plenty of space inside. The setup is impressive, featuring pool tables, a front patio, and various games. The seating is comfortable, and the bathrooms are adequately stocked. The cleanliness is decent, especially for a weekend spot. The food is consistently good, though the quality of drinks can vary depending on the bartender. Service can be hit-or-miss, with some bartenders not offering a warm greeting. Despite the busy atmosphere, it remains a solid choice for a casual hangout and a good drink. I generally give them the benefit of the doubt, appreciating the overall vibe and amenities. read more

I've been coming in here for lunch quite a bit since Covid hit, they do the spacting and all else right - it is a not exactly a seedy sports bar, but a bit of paint and polish could help the over all atmosphere. And it definitely is a sports bar, with a double handful of big screen TVs, billiard tables, several dart areas, and even ping pong. The food is definitely pub food - wings, salads (well-sized), tacos, nachos, sandwiches, burgers, fries, and so on. In particular they offer a Fried Chicken sandwich, and a Fried Fish sandwich, both of which are huge, and both of which are excellent. The Buffalo Wings are noteworthy, as are the Tater Tots, and the Beer Battered Mushrooms. The service is always spot on, and the beer menu is impressive. read more

After winning some trivia nearby, me and some friends decided to hit up Jake's for some late-night drinks and bar food. Jake's is a huge sports bar with lots of seating, TV's, pool tables, and a nice outdoor area. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We got an order of the black bean egg rolls as an appetizer. They were alright. I ordered with "Dirty" (chicken instead of a black bean burger) tree hugger wrap. It's a common selection of mine as it has a lot of vegetables in it as well as cheese mixed with a Vidalia onion vinaigrette. I have to say, it was not as good as it usually is. I don't know whether to blame it on the cook that night or because it was late night, but it felt soggier and less seasoned. I got the homemade chips as my side with blue cheese. Burgers were on special, so my husband got the Baja Burger (pepper jack, mango salsa, red cabbage, avocado aioli) with a side Caesar. I tried it, there are better burgers in Greensboro as far as appearance and taste, but it was fine. One friend ordered hot wings; their wings are really good. The other got the veggie dog with sweet potato tots. Being vegetarian, she was concerned after taking a bite that it was a regular hot dog based on its texture. She had me try it, and it tasted like a regular hot dog to me. The waitress was very nice and confirmed with the cook it was veggie. If they were telling the truth (which one would assume so) they have one of the best veggie hotdogs I have ever tried! read more

GHOE Weekend! It was supposed to be a great weekend. It took about an hour to order wings and tater tots which our friends took about 15-25 mins for their order when we ordered at the same time. Our order was placed before it got packed (to give more context). When asked to speak to a manager, David, the manager, was very rude and didn't want to talk to us with a condensing attitude. He was walking away from the conversation when I was trying to figure out what was going on with our order. He should not be managing intense pressure and stress if he can't speak to loyal customers even in that situation. With multiple years of customer service experience, the customer is usually right. Again, I just think that was a terrible situation and experience for someone who heard exceptional things about this establishment. read more
