**PSA - Diamond Billiards Bar and Grill Diamond Billiards Bar & Grill **…read more Some context here... I've been visiting Diamond for a couple decades. It's been a welcoming place where I was able to bring friends, family, and meet people around the community As many of you know.. I've joined into APA Rochester league and have nothing but high regards to the coordinators and community that has been built across Rochester and Western New York. I have played APA league at Diamond Billiards since joining the league. Thursday nights the p paymenconcept is that you pay 'table time' to Diamond, to play on their league-reserved tables, and you pay weekly dues into APA. Last night Sarah and myself were humiliated by Diamond ownership in a manner that can't go unspoken. This post is public. Will go into as many business reviews as possible. And will be taken down if an apology and explanation is received. Last night I had a bye and my team was not playing. Sarah and I purchased time for a reserved pool table. We also purchased food and beverage. During that time I asked for a league mate to shoot a game with me on the table I had reserved. That mate and I played the game. During that game I overheard my name from the other side of the venue but did not take mind of it. Sarah returned advising that ownership was vocally frustrated that mate played on the table we reserved without paying for the table time, on that table. I shrugged it off Not long after I overheard the owner and bartender conversing one table away from us. I stared down the owner, listening to their conversation, and the owner stared at me having the conversation. This conversation involved swearing and obvious frustration of the situation. Since the owner did not have the manner to talk to me about this 1:1, without swearing, without humiliation, we immediately packed our things and returned the pool balls to their storage location. When storing the pool balls we had general conversation with the bar tender about the situation. The owner then came to the bar stating "the bartender is not the owner, I am, if you want to talk to the owner then talk to me" - insert explicit words into his statement. We attempted to have a reasonable conversation with the owner and were met with him walking off, to play the game he was in the middle of, and swearing at us and agreeing that we should give our money to another billiards hall. Sarah and I were humiliated by the loud tone, swearing, and inability for ownership to have a conversation to their routine patrons. --- I will be forced to go back to Diamond. Only because of the APA league and community. While at Diamond they will not be receiving money from me for their extra services. I have had conversation with my team captain and the APA coordinators to petition for corrective actions.

Another customer had the chicken parm which looked soo good and they told me it was excellent- fresh, crispy chicken- just the right amount of homemade sauce on top of perfectly cooked spaghetti. Highly suggest giving the billiards a try -both for a great meal and if you like to play pool there are plenty of tables to play on as well!! As a side note, parking is in the back of the plaza-down the hill not upfront in the front parking lot. Check it out! Great place!

They owner is morphing this into a bar, billiards, darts and just a great ambience that will be retro 1960s Art Deco when finished. Did I say how good their food is. One of the best ROC area plates in an entertainment facility that will be a great place to enjoy, especially during the harsh Winters here.

He keeps his tables well maintained and has even had some pros come in to play. My friend and I got some drinks at their bar. They also had heaping bowls of goulash available for sale. Our group played casual tourney-style. The competition was light-hearted and friendly. A good time was had! Makes me want to go back! Give this place a try!

Finally checked out the new location of Salt City Billiards in Mattydale. It is definitely bigger…read moreon the inside than it looks on the outside. They have pub size tables as well as regulation size. The owner was very friendly and the bottles of beer were ice cold. They have a limited menu but everything is reasonably priced. Even playing pool won't break the bank with their play all day rate. Guests range from the professional to people like me that can barely hit the ball. They even have special events that bring in the big time pro players. If you're looking for a local place to hang out and shoot some pool, check this place out!

Food and service were excellent. The fries themselves were meh but the dipping spaces were amazing…read more Large shareable s Plates. I'd stick to appetizers/for the table and skip the sandwiches. The hummus and pita was the best I've ever had. But it's loud because it's a bowling alley so not a great place to have a convo.

Helped my partner know to opt in for a larger ball. Very sweet lady. Went to order food the fill menu happened to be closed. Staff didn't speak loud and ignored us while we browsed the menu. While we were looking at the menu that was taped to the counter he slammed a white board over the menus and wrote the 3 food items that were available to purchase. Still not saying anything. We ordered and went to our lane. From there on rest of the staff interactions were solid. Wings were . Pricey but delicious. I won the game with 5 strikes.

Reviewing again, because it just gets worse and worse. Management obviously doesn't give a fuck, I…read morehaven't seen them show concern or respond to a single review. Before I actually bring any of this up at a city council meeting, here's why this place needs a change of management, or just to be shut down. -Bartender refused to serve my friend, said TO HIS FACE that "you look really douchey", and had a horrible attitude the entire time. Bar was practically empty. She had no reason to be acting like that and that was probably the rudest bartender experience I've ever had. Told another bartender about it, he apologized, I also mentioned this in my first review, and yet she's been here every time I've been back. -Another bartender yelled as loud as humanly possible in my face (I'm hard of hearing and it's a loud bar) when I didn't hear what he said. Appreciate you saying it louder bud, but he was clearly extremely annoyed with me. He had some sort of hat on, and angrily yelled "YEAH, THIS HAT ISN'T A PSYCHIC HAT". Sorry someone shat in your cornflakes, dude. -Just about every month, I hear about someone's drink getting spiked. They either don't give a shit about blacklisting these scumbags, or just don't care that it's happening in the first place out of fear of losing business. They try to cover it up every time it happens. -Behavior of the patrons is extremely judgy, rude, and uncomfortable. Very old men hitting on younger women. Creeps everywhere. People looking to start a fight. -Almost always unclean inside and out The only benefit is the fact that it's cheap. I would really love it if the staff gave a shit here, because on paper this place should be one of the best bars in ROC.

The service was very good. There were multiple tv's near and around the bar. It had a nice bar and had plenty of seating. We ordered a small pizza and it was more like a medium. We couldn't eat it all. The pizza was pretty good. It wasn't outstanding but good. We each ordered drinks and they were good. There are not many places in the area to eat so this gets a good recommendation from us. Check it out.
