Mostly pool tables but they also have some ping pong tables. When we came on a Wednesday it wasn't too busy. They had a live jazz band playing with 4 musicians. They were good! We got a pitcher of beer and sat down to listen. They also have board games/cards you can use. You just have to leave your id that is given back upon return. Nothing fancy but exactly the vibe we were looking for. Only one guy working the bar and he was doing his best. He let us try a couple beers before we committed which is always appreciated.

Dressed in a brown cloche hat that glittered under the light this lady depicted 1920s flapper style. She introduced each song from Duke Ellington. Her coterie of singers then sang beautifully. Angela Arthur sang. Lee Olive sang "It Don't Mean a Thing." Laura Jean sang "Sophisticated Lady." Mike Young sang and played "Take the A Train." Caravan and Don't Get Around Much Anymore were also sung. The singing was both enjoyable and electric. Ad-libs made it unusual and I found it enchanting. The band especially the cellist played with zest. Maki, a young twenty year old, played the saxophone and looks like he could be a star. Kat Ross Reilly, the organizer of Jorei Jazz and Johnny Johnson are the team that created this entertainment. Johnny also is the drummer in the band. Sugar Mouse is a gaming venue where Jorei Jazz band plays every Tuesday evening from 8:30 pm till 12:30 am. Donations are what sustains this music.

There are some pros and cons about this place, but it was pretty neat overall!…read more Came here with friends (group of 4) on a Saturday night, so we paid the $10 cover. Which is fine in my opinion because they have live jazz and I love that. I also love a bar with an activity outside of just drinking. Some pros: so many games and pool tables and live jazz and decent beer Some cons: not many seats, long waits for the pool/ping pong/foosball tables on a weekend, loud (not a place to get to know someone I'd say) Overall it's definitely ~cool~. The crowd looked to be a lot of NYU students/20somethjngs in tech or whatever living their best city life. Not the vibe for all, but definitely the vibe for some.

Pretty cool and genuinely unique spot, different from most places in the city. The whole concept is…read morebuilt around keeping your hands busy: pool tables, ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, chess, checkers, even some old-school arcade cabinets scattered through a sprawling underground space. It's actually a legacy spot in disguise. This basement used to house Fat Cat, a longtime West Village institution that shut down right before the pandemic, and before that the room itself was a bowling alley, tucked into a 1932 Art Deco building a few steps from Stonewall. Drink selection isn't the draw here, don't come expecting a deep cocktail list. Crowd skews heavily undergrad, and the place is loud, so it's not the spot for an intimate one-on-one or a real group conversation. It's built for a different kind of hang: elbow your way to a table, keep your hands busy, let the noise do the rest. There's also live jazz most nights, which adds a nice layer if you catch it at the right time. Neat place, just know what you're walking into.

We loved this place when they first opened and have used their tables many times. I seem to…read moreremember paying around $35 an hour at any time but it seems they have adopted higher pricing for more popular time slots. $45 per hour is pretty steep when you want to play for two hours. Considering the lack of 8' tables available in the area from 8am to 3am, it's great to have the option but my main complaint is the condition of the tables. They're fine for amateur play but if you are expecting to practice higher end shooting the felt is so worn on both tables that cue ball control is out of the question. The felt around pockets is torn, bumpers are loose and the tables are wobbly. I've reported the conditions and received an apology but looking at some of the comments here, it doesn't seem that they have ever been refelted or repaired. My wife and I just joined a league and love to practice with friends but I feel ripped off playing on their garbage tables and will be looking for other options.

I am not someone who typically writes reviews about places. So if I'm writing a review, it's either…read morereally good, or really bad. In this case, my experience was very bad. Long story short: CHECK SHARK'S INFRACTIONS POLICY BEFORE GOING!! ACTUAL STORY: I signed up to play pool with 5 buddies for 2 hours. When our reservation was over, the next reservation had not arrived yet so we just kept playing. After about 15 mintues, I received a phone call from Sharks, who asked me if we were going to keep playing. I replied that, Yeah we're just going to stay until the next reservation arrives and then we'll leave. The lady I spoke to, then replied Okay, and that was the entirety of the phone call. I paid $120 for the two hours, and everything was fine, until I checked my CC the next day and I had been charged an additional $40. I emailed Sharks asking them what this $40 charge was about, and they explained because we stayed an extra 50 minutes. I said, Wait, I spoke with someone on the phone from Sharks and they said "Okay" when I told them we were just going to stay until the next reservation arrived; They said nothing about us getting charged for that time. The person then replied that this information is on their website. I told them that I have looked everywhere on their website and it says nothing about this type of charge; not in the FAQ section, the Pricing section, anywhere. The person writes me back saying that it's in the Infractions Policy part of their website. The Infractions Policy is the absolute last link at the bottom of their website, where you have to scroll all the way to the bottom. It's not in the header in the FAQ section (where it should be) or in the Pricing Section (where it also could be.) I say to the guy, listen this was our first time using Sharks, we talked to the person on the phone who said nothing about extra charges. You clearly are hiding your Infractions Policy at the bottom bottom of your website, could you please just give me a courtesy, and I will know next time to not stay past my reservation? To which the guy replied, Nope! Telling me I signed a contract with them when I click accept to their Terms of Service, going all South Park HumancentiPad episode on me. So this is my warning to all future Sharks customers, make sure you check the Infractions Policy before you decide to go, because they can and will charge you for just about anything. See the Infraction charges below. P.S. They advertise this place as BYO, and yet in the Infractions Policy they list BYO as a possible charge. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - INFRACTIONS FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE CHARGED https://sharkspool.club/infractions-policy (1) Overstay: If a guest stays more than 10 minutes past their reservation, they will be charged the market value price of the slot plus $10 for every additional guest over 4 guests.
