    Same old spot with pool and darts... Has that really good vibe and a perfect place to bring your date after dinner to continue the conversation.

    This place totally has grown on me. Many reasons. (1) The smoke situation isn't as intense as the Highlander's. (2) Lots of pool tables. (3) The $5 PB&J deal (Pabst Blue + Jameson) is unbelievable.

    Located directly above the Highlander, the Independent has board games aplenty, dartboards, and a room full of charge-by-the-hour regulation-size pool tables. The menu includes typical bar fare. Read more

    Low key no frills neighborhood pub type bar with a focus on billiards, darts, and trivia. Tables are in good condition. Food is decent, and booze priced fair. Great cross-section of different folks.

    The best place in Midtown for late-night billiards and beer. You may have to wait for a free table though, especially on the weekends.

    Trivia is awesome...if you're searching for a healthy option to relieve the guilt of a rad pint, don't. The salad is crap. Dry chicken and iffy (but delightfully non-iceburg) lettuce. Live in guilt <3

    Board games and darts make for a great night at the bar! My only complaint is the smokers at the bar after 11pm!

    Holy crap! You should ask for the Italian Sausage Sandwich covered in tasty grilled onions. It's like meat heaven.
