It took no time, and the price was better than fair. I had asked for the ferrules to be replaced due to age and wear and tear, but John recommended saving me money and not doing the replacements and instead made the 30 year old ferrules look awesome! I highly recommend Monarch due to their expertise, craftsmanship and integrity. Thank you Monarch Billiards. There's no reason I can think of to ever go anywhere else.

I would not call them mechanics; I would call them craftsman. Their attention to detail was evident as I watched them work. Impeccable. I look at billiard equipment like a musical instrument. If this were a violin, the table would be the violin body, the strings would be the balls and the bow would be the cues. Monarch gave me a Stratovarius. John and Sara are the best for help with equipment, cues and tip work. I gladly drive for over an hour for their help. Their staff are enthused educators that know billiards. Its great playing on world class equipment that is tuned to perfection. Thank you, Monarch, for bringing my baby back. The new cue Sara helped me choose is terrific. Gotta go practice.

Since retired but came here today to see my friend/old customer. Got here at 12pm. Seated quickly in the back (place was very dark). Waitress came by for our soft drinks. I order an ice tea. She came back as the tea had to be brewed - now its noon time and tea for ice tea isnt brewed which took 10/15 mins (first strike). Placed our order - i ordered 5 wings and the roasted veggie grinder. Lunch partner ordered a French dip. Wings came out timely and were good. It took the French dip and roasted veggie grinder 30 mins to come out and the order was wrong - it wasnt a French dip, my sandwich was not toasted, nor did it have the aioli on it either (2nd strike); both went back - server apologized and said remake would come out quickly. There was a table of 3 ladies other side of us and their order came out three times to complete - it came out piecemeal but i digress. Server was clearly embarrassed since she stayed away. I saw her and asked when out food was coming - 1255pm the remake came out. The French dip was supposed to be on a seeded roll which it was not, and my roasted veggie sandwich was a mushy mess of what they called roasted veggies still on a soft ciabatta roll that was not toasted as a grinder should be and the veggies were over salted. (3rd strike) The server offered to have the manager come by but I declined as he/she would not have been happy by the time I was done with him or her. After being closed for a few years was excited to come back. Needless to say wont be going back. It should not take 30 mins for sandwiches to come out, then be a wrong order or not as advertised, then have to wait another 20 minutes for the remake and still be wrong. my sandwich was comped which was kind of the server.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and our food arrived quickly and came out hot. We started with the zucchini fritters, which were crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and packed with flavor.

The seasoned fries were delicious, and honestly, I could've used a few more on the plate. My fiancée had the spicy chicken sandwich, which definitely lived up to its name. It brought the heat but was still full of flavor, and both of our sandwiches were served on soft, fluffy buns that tied everything together nicely.

I made my way to dinner on the way, and then to Markley. First thing first, the pictures on Yelp and Google must be way old. The room is WAY nicer in person. Looks like a lot of work has been done since then. New Diamond tables. Clean blue cloth. New and clean furniture. Fresh paint on the wall. It's clean-clean! So... if you are a serious pool player, or even a hobbyist pool player, definitely consider making your way to this room. Tables are $6/hr. The establishment is cash only. I didn't see any alcohol, but there are drinks and snacks available for purchase, as well as your typical pool gear (chalk, gloves, cues, accessories). There's a combination of 7' and 9' ft Diamonds. The balls are the Aramith Tournament set. And they are clean. Racks tight. Smooth. Table runs straight and fast. A poolplayer's dream! Staff is nice and friendly, and so are the other patrons. I think I was here on a slow night as there were only 2-3 other parties in the room. Five out of five stars for sure. Solid pool room. Solid experience. Music doesn't suck. I've been to a lot of pool rooms all over the country and I definitley approve of this place! It'd be nice if credit cards are accepted, but they do have an ATM if you are in a pinch!

Club Med can be a little hard to find if you have no idea where you're going. I was told "it's…read moreover behind the Harrisburg Mall" and forced to find it on my own. Eventually, I did, but I chalk that up to my Carthaginian Explorer's sense of direction. If you have a Persian sense of direction *ahem* and accidently direct people to the pentagon, you'd never find it. Once you know where you're going, you begin to figure out how to get those covetted front parking spots, that seem to be a million miles closer to the door than the rest of the lot. Close parking is both an artform and a science, and at Club Med, it's crucial, because it seems like during the winter months, the wind blows just a little bit stronger on the East side of South Harrisburg. I also think it happens to swell up in the driveway, in the only place that the gym doesn't shelter from the wind. Club Med has a little over 20 pool tables. They have a pretty red one and an even prettier blue one. There is a back room that is non-smoking. However, I've never been in there, because let's face it, I can't put out my cigarette long enough to walk back there. The juke box is relatively well stocked, and if it's slow, and you go there often enough, the owner will hook you up with some change to put in and play a few jams. On Friday and Saturday nights however, it's usually stocked an hour ahead with 50 cent songs played by middle school and high school kids who go there so they can smoke. The whole place isn't packed with kids, but they definitely make up a substantial proportion of the clientelle. Other major groups include the skeezy old men who gamble on billiards and Asians who, as if they hadn't impressed us enough with their mathematical and breakdancing abilities, had to go and be amazing at pool too. The highlight of Club Med is definitely the owner, and his staff, who I believe are all family. They are wonderful people, and they will always go out of their way to make sure you're having a good time in their establishment. Club Med also has a small snack bar which includes sodas, hot dogs, (i believe) nachos, and CANDY! Airheads and Root beer make any game of 8-ball complete!
