We recently visited Tailgators for a company Christmas party which we have done for the last 3…read moreyears and must say every year the service keeps getting better and better. We were setup with a very large space that had pool tables and table tennis and were given the ability to bring our own decorations to add a theme to the event. We were allowed to setup in advance and were given assistance in both the setup and takedown. The food was great, we were given a buffet style selection which consisted of items such as sandwiches, pizza, meatballs, chicken wings, samosas, and mozzarella sticks. The food all tasted great and there was more than enough for everyone to eat. They have a decent selection of drinks, the only negative that I would say is that I would like to see a greater selection of local microbrew beers but that's ok. The service was what made the event that much more enjoyable. You never needed to chase down a server to get drinks and they always made sure that the glasses and dishes were picked up promptly so the place didn't look messy. I don't think there was a single time that I waited more than 2-3 minutes for a drink. If you are looking to just go and play pool or have an event here, I would definitely recommend dropping in.

There is one reason and one reason only to go to The Orange Monkey, and that is for the pool. They…read morehave an enormous amount of pool tables and serious players from around the city come here to play. Now, for no other reason should a person go here. It is located at the bottom of the old City Centre building. It is a run down area and the immediate scene outside the pool hall looks like a parking lot out of a gangster movie. There is little lighting, and not much for civilization around, especially at night. The establishment itself has a very basic bar that serves dome tic beer and from what I could tell, very little else. The staff is small, with one person noticeably working in the front and a kitchen staff (I assume) in the back. They serve food, and it is pretty much what you would expect: chicken wings, nachos etc. It's not bad food, but nothing special. for a pool hall it gets a passing grade. Unless you're a pool enthusiast, don't bother.
