This place is really cool. The owners have great vision and they are executing it flawlessly…read more Atmosphere is really good, service is perfect, the place is super clean, the prices are really reasonable and the food and beverage are phenomenal. I had cold miller lites, wings, fries, nachos and steak tacos. All of it was fantastic. They play great music and if you want to play pool the prices are great and the tables are in great shape. Love having this place in my hood and I plan to frequent.

Great service, Katherine was awesome b/c she made sure I got back my umbrella after leaving there for months. My friends ordered beer & food, they stated both were good. The ambiance is good for a date night, a place to hang out and catch up, just a place to chill and practice your pool skills or a cool place to just make new friends. You'll have a blast whether w/ friends or a nice place to go to make new friends w/ awesome people/service! Recommend w/o reservations!

I was so happy that I was able to get a seat at the bar to watch. To my surprise it was even Sunday HH!!. The bartender was really busy, but doing a great job. I had two drinks, a margarita and a specialty drink, Kiss on the . The Kiss on the was my fave. I've heard about their wings so I wanted to try them...I loved that there were so many sauce options. I was told to try the cheese steak egg rolls next time....and there definitely will be a next time. There was a good vibe with the crowd which I very much appreciated. I didn't feel like any dumb shenanigans would jump off which is very important to me. I've been searching for a regular spot since my last spot shut down...I may have found it!!

Patrick: Thanks for your guidance in helping me choose the right tables. Your knowledge and experience certainly is evident and was appreciated when navigating waters that were unfamiliar to me. Candace: I could write paragraphs about how helpful you have been. Thanks for answering all my questions so swiftly and making me feel comfortable with my decisions; it was very much appreciated. Installers: You guys Rock! I appreciate your hard work and attn. to detail. If you are looking for Game room "toys" look no further; just trust me on this. Thanks again!!

They wouldn't let me return or exchange my $380 pool cue on the following day of my purchase…read more Even though their website say no exchanges or returns on used items, it doesn't mention about pool cues specifically and it should be the first thing that customers should see on the website since it's a billiards store and should be updated. Bad customer service and I don't recommend this place.

This is a nice poor bar. We play APA 8 ball league on Tuesdays and stonewall league on Mondays…read more Bartenders are very nice especially Tony on Tuesday nights as he makes fun of everyone and keeps us entertained all the time. They also have pool membership where members can play between 4 to 7 pm everyday except for tournament days for no additional cost. Membership also includes discounts to drinks. You can bring food from the outside. Parking is easier to find after 6:30 pm. Pool tables are nice. They got new felts recently. Ball rolls amazingly well. Rails are soft though. If you're planning multiple rail shots, you have hit it harder. They also host some tournaments on some weekends.

So, funny story. I genuinely thought Atomic was a pizza place. For weeks I kept hearing people talk…read moreabout it, and I just assumed they meant Comet. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and realized there was no pizza in sight, just pool tables, dart boards, and a solid basement bar scene. It is literally in a basement, and it feels like the kind of place you would go to after being snowed in all day. If this were Chicago, it would be the perfect neighborhood bar to duck into after a winter storm. It has that cozy, slightly gritty, someone's-house-basement energy where you go to hang out, not to party. The service was fine, nothing standout, and the drinks are about what you would expect for a neighborhood bar. Not fancy, not bad, just dependable. Overall, Atomic is one of those chill spots that feels good when you want to unwind, shoot a few games of pool, and not think too hard about the world outside.

Highlighted a DC & MD established restaurant, now onto a VA established one. Hard Times Cafe…read morestarted in Old Town Alexandria, VA in 1980, and the original is still there with an old truck in front. See my 4-star review from July 2018. I also reviewed a location that used to be in Clarendon, Arlington, VA in September 2012, which was a 3-star. Today, there are 4 locations: 3 in VA (the original in Alexandria I've been to) & 2 I haven't as well as the only location in MD, which I have been to their Rockville location on Sunday, October 26, 2025. My girlfriend's parents love Hard Times Cafe. They used to go to the one in College Park, but it closed so they occasionally will drive much further for them to Rockville. My g/f & I were in Gaithersburg that afternoon, and her parents mentioned inviting us to dinner at Hard Times, which we agreed. It had been a while since I had been there and got samplings of the various chili. I thought I liked their signature Cincinnati chili the best, but I think I realized I liked the Texas even more. Terlingua chili was great too. I got a beer, which was good too. Service was friendly & prompt. I got a chili dog with Texas chili & fries, which were great. We also split chili nachos, which were good too. Hard Times Cafe isn't necessarily a place I'll go out of my way for, but it's a place I enjoy when it works out.

I tried to get my fix a few…read moreweeks ago on my way back from the airport, but forgot that they were closed on Mondays (my bad). I was able to stop in today after another trip - my good! My go-to since my first visit in 1985(!!!) has been their Terlingua Red. It's a little spicier than their Texas Chili, not as sweet as their Cincinnati Chili. I always get it with jalapeños and onions, and get a serving of beans on the side. (Not in the chili. My momma raised me right). Served with a soft and sweet piece of cornbread it's a tasty, quick, and inexpensive meal. Hard Times opened - and closed - a shop in my hometown a few years back, and I don't get down the road as often as I used to. Today's meal gives me incentive to make the trip more often in the future.

I found this place though Yelp and decided to give it a try…read more The employees were extremely welcoming and quickly sat out group down. They gave us a lot of options and recommendations to pick from. They do have a wide variety of drinks including alcohol. There's plenty of games to play like pool, darts, poker. I liked how clean it was inside, the bathrooms were spotless, the finger food and drinks were good. I had a great time here. Thank you!

If I'm going to be in Downtown Silver Spring, I'm going to Quarry Tavern House! No questions asked!…read more First of all, this place is actually quite hard to find since it's downstairs, but once you know, you know. I'm not the biggest fan of a dive bar, but I'll truly make an exception for QH... ... and that's because of their vegan wings! I've never had vegan wings like this before and they honestly hit the spot each time. Along with their homemade ranch. I've tried other food items like their grilled cheese and nachos, but I'll definitely always order the vegan wings when I'm here. There's a huge selection of beers and whiskey. I'm not really a fan of either so I usually opt for a seltzer or cider. The happy hour deals are pretty good too honestly!

Love this place. Burger deal on Mondays is awesome and they have a great happy hour I think…read moreeveryday till 630pm. They also allow kids until 8pm. The stairwell is a little steep but manageable. Best dive bar in the area. Awesome beer selection and I've never had bad food from here. Service is great too. It's actually pretty big space wise. I don't remember seeing a changing table in the bathroom (not that it's catering to that crowd but just an FYI).
