The Bank Shot Bar & Grill

Yikes. I'm writing this review just for Jessica. She was rude to me & I thought it was something I had done personally - I even asked her later on & no. Asked others around me & they said "she's not friendly" - why would you have a bartender who's not "friendly". At the end of the night she made a point to say I had caused a "scene" for asking what her attitude problem was to other guests - I just wanted to see if *i*Had done something "wrong" - no. That's "just how she is" MULTIPLE guest said she's stand off-ish, rude & amongst other things. I wouldn't have left this review if she didn't approach me after I had already closed out my check and tipped her. Not a good look whatsoever for the business.

Very overpriced. Service not good. Totally not worth the time. Very warm in there. Very weird crowd. Tables are so so. Again crazy expensive.

Cool pool hall. I've driven by thousands of times and have seen the parking lot packed with cars but never thought to stop and check it out. Came on a Friday night with a friend. Was greeted as soon as we entered by a server passing by. Big bar area but not many tables. There are a few high tops scattered around. But if you like pool, this is the place to be! I stopped counting at 15 pool tables! We sat at the bar so we could get a good view of the action going on. Very diverse crowd. Everyone we came in contact was very friendly. Bartender Jessica was personable and poured great drinks! We weren't too hungry so ordered mozzarella sticks for a quick bite. Now those were delicious! It did take a while for them to come out. One of the players gave us the details about pool. Tournaments are Monday through Friday. Every one of those nights are busy. The players are ranked between 2 & 7. 2s are the least talented pool players, 7 being the best. The max number of talent you can have on your team is 23. A 2 player needs to beat a 7 player 2 times to win. A 7 player needs to beat a 2 player 7 times in order to win. Pretty cool place to hang out for a drink or two. Or if pool is your thing. Definitely return!

Worst customer service ever and after reading reviews it's been going on a long time and they clearly don't care. I got the sense from my first and last time going there that they don't take too kindly to new customers if ya know what I mean. Went this past Saturday with my cousin. Just wanted to shoot a game of pool or 2 and have a drink or 2. Went there because it was close to where I live and we didn't feel like going to Baltimore or DC. Apparently Saturday is "league night" but they were also having a halloween "party". Despite these 2 events the place was FAR from packed. When I went to the bar there were only 2 people there and I stood right next to them. The "waitress" gave them their change and they left....and so did she as if she didn't see me right there! She goes to the other side of the bar and proceeds to dance around, make small talk with regulars that pass by, and does little busy simple things like wiping off menus behind the bar that no one is looking at. I had time to observe all this because never once did she look in my direction for several minutes until I had to call her for her attention. I asked if the bar was closed or something and she had a smart answer. I told she saw me when I walked up and she lied claiming she didn't. She said "Well I see you now. What would you like?" I said "Better customer service...but I'll take a whiskey and pineapple". I only ordered it to put her fat tail to work and so she could see the big fat ZEROES I left for her tip. My cousin tried to put us on the pool table wait list but he said she never wrote his name down even tho he told her 3 times. He said all her attention was staring past him at me since after I got my drink I walked away. She's a goof and so is the dude who told me about the waiting list because he definitely acted like I asked for his social security number and not how to get a table. It was probably the owner. Don't worry Hoss we won't be back. You don't want my money nor do you deserve it.

My first timeThis place is huge. Definitely set up for pool tournaments. Bartenders were friendly. Not overly friendly, but friendly enough. Good drinks and a strong pour. Hamburger and fries were above average. Actually pretty decent. I will be back.

Stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend recently who had been several times. It was bookmarked on my list so I'm glad I got to check it out. Definitely is a place for pool lovers - lots of tables available. I'm horrible at pool but it was interesting watching how into it folks were. They even came in with their own pool sticks - serious business!!My friend and I sat at the bar and ordered some drinks and food. I had read some reviews prior to coming in and the wings seemed to be popular so I figured I might as well try that. I ordered the old bay and lemon pepper, but for me it was just ok - not great. The old bay were better flavored than the lemon pepper. My friend ordered the nachos and it was a big portion (more than enough to share). As far as drinks, they weren't bad. I tried the peach long island and a regular mixed drink (rum and coke). Not a bad place at all - very laid back...I won't have known of its existence at all, but these are the types of places I like sometimes - the hole in the wall spots, off the beaten path! I'd probably come back for a happy hour and check out the vibe then.

Another Laurel local favorite for alcohol, pool, and food. Very nice layout for pool tables. They offer regular and regulation pool tables. You can eat and drink anywhere in the bar. Patio area for smokers, sun tanners, and pets. It is an older bar but it is packed full of fun.

Found hair in my food. Don't recommend eating here. Pool balls were dirty for the event being played. Visible stains on the balls like they were never cleaned.

Come here for pool tournaments, it's always crowded but service and food are good. The only complaint I have is the back room, aka the "dart room", is always smelling of cigarettes and vapes since the smoking area is just out the door, and this weekend I saw several people vaping inside the room. Consider moving the smoking area down a bit to keep secondhand smoke out of the room. This was the only place in the entire bar that doesn't play loud music, and had plenty of seats to allow people to wait for their next round of play, so other than the smoke smells it is a great spot.

Great service and food in a pool hall/"dive bar" atmosphere. No complaints from our group.
