Great tables, only good pool tables in torrington. The vibe is a little small town clicky, but freindly. The bar and food service was good. Nothing special, but good.

I can only say that, for a first time client, along with my 2 brothers, we had a fantastic time. The young lady we dealt with was very professional, very much a sweetheart and Phenomenal service. I would most definitely try this place if you're looking for a place to go that are guaranteed to have a great time and will not break the bank
