"First time here tonight and overall I'd say it was a pretty good experience. I had a girl named Kim serving me. From the Jump she noticed I wasn't exactly sure if they just had bar service or if I could take a seat and have someone come up to me. She let me know how the place worked and took care of me for the rest of the night. She had a great attitude all through the night even with it being a Saturday and extremely busy. I'm usually not one for super busy Bars so would definitely prefer this place on a weekday instead of weekends, but if that's your vibe, THIS IS THE PLACE. Lots of people, good music, fun arcade games and GREAT drink prices. My only issue was how much drama was going on, my first night there and I watched 4 different fights break out, that has nothing to do with the establishment though and everything to do with just drunk people. But the security 100% did there job and diffused every situation before it got out of hand. I recommend everyone try this place out atleast once. The location in Richmond texas is also great."
"Me and one of my friends attended recently to watch a fight. I had been here once before and got great service at the bar so we sat at the bar again and were waited on by Breyohn. She kept our glasses full and we had great service. They also have food and we tried their wings and fries. My friend did not enjoy them but were OK for me.They are pretty large inside with a stage in the middle of the building. Towards the back is another bar and a number of pool tables. They have a large amount of TV's through the building and behind the bar.They have a DJ on the nights that we were there and on Thursday they have a twerk off. lolIt is cool place for an event or just to stop in for a few drinks."
"The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed they had non-alcoholic beverages. The tables are by the hour at a decent price. We were able to get a table even though they had a tournament on."
"A friend and I were in the area and were in the mood to have a drink or two in a place with a lively and fun atmosphere and younger patrons. The Yelp app directed us here.Shamrock's Pub is basically 2 bars in one. When we first walked in, we entered an area that was full of smoke and had a long, rectangular bar to our left, booth seating to our right and was nearly full. Neither of us smoke and we wanted to sit at the bar, so I decided to check out the adjoining space to see if we'd have better luck there. It was yet another full bar, and lots of tables and chairs in this space were available, but this portion of Shamrock's was non-smoking. Perfect!The bartender was friendly, and the drink prices here are definitely reasonable (we had 2 mixed drinks and 2 pint drafts and the total was something like $16 with tax). They don't have a food menu, but do offer bowls of buttered popcorn, and on Tuesdays they feature a steak night.If you're staying near the airport on this side of town, this divey establishment is probably one of the more lively bars to come to through the week."

This place has so much potential to be amazing, highly profitable and popular sports bar. Sadly what they lack in morals for a quick small gain will kill the business in the long run, as reviews and word of mouth get out. Tonight was my first time here with my friend, great environment amazing music very happy to be here initially. after ordering food and drinks, well over tipping and complementary to waitress on her hard work and making sure that she's well taken care of financially for the hard work that she's putting in. I am instead greeted with Low morals and lack of trust as I pay for a five dollar drink with a $20 bill and ask her just to bring $12 back (pretty amazing tip for one drink that cost $5) and The tips like that kept going on the food and all the other drinks I got before this. So after about 20 minutes goes by I have to go up and ask for the $12 that she told me she was going to come back with. Her explanation was " oh I was just going to hold onto the cash just in case you wanted to order another drink" nope that has never happened to me ever in 100+ bars. All this to say I am here to spend money be nice and cordial and overpay for good service, but I do not want to be finessed or robbed or played games with my money. This was obviously a play by the bartender to hope that I was drinking and would forget about the $12 that she could pocket at the end of the night when I left and forgot about the money. Sad to see very frustrated when I am nice complementary, and overtip time and time again and get treated with this kind of service.

Big tyme billiards was just ok. I had never been to a place like this before, and my expectations were kinda high (I love playing pool). I went with a group of friends on a Friday night and they were pretty busy. Most all of the tables were spoken for. The bar wasn't super busy, but it still took forever for them to serve us. It also wasn't super clear how to actually reserve a table. I have to say, I don't think me and my friends were the target demographic for this place, we got a lot of stares and definitely didn't fit it. It was still kinda fun tho, but if you have a pool table at home or anywhere else I'd just play there instead. I probably would not come back here unless my friends really wanted to go.If you are middle aged, like pool and dive bars you'll probably love this place though.Fun fact: they had tvs that shows a constant scroll of big white text memes that looked like they came straight off Facebook.

Great place in the heart of Houston. Loaded with pool and snooker tables, full bar, delicious food and poker games for poker players on the 2nd floor. The whole staff is friendly and welcoming.

"They sang Video Killed The Radio Star, but wait, that was The Buggles, so never mind.Houston is a huge city with a lot of transplants from other places and if you're from cheese country - anywhere in Wisconsin - and you're offended the NFL... I mean a fan of the NFL but who isn't offended by the NFL?... then this is the bar for you.Food is good and prices are average and the crowd is fun, but most of all it's the centre for everything Packers related.Any Packers game you want to see come here. That's why it's here and they do a great job with it. For the rest of the year it's a little bit more low-key."
"One of the few places in Houston that has snooker. Very rare to find a location with more than a handful of tables. Q Ball has 5 official Strachan snooker tables (used in official tournaments) that are consistently clean and well kept. Three 8 ft. Tables along with three 9 feet tables. Plenty of tables with plenty of space. Staff and owners are very friendly and will always be tentative. I was a stranger before but now, they made me feel like family.Rates: (per hour)8$ - 8 ft. Tables9$ - 9 ft. Tables10$ - Snooker tablesThere is a special on a specific date that reduces table prices!*** Great Pros to keep in mind:- smoke friendly. Q ball allows customers to smoke inside the vicinity and also serve high quality seisha in a high quality hookah. ( brand: Khalil Mamoon)- clean tables with a nice atmosphere.- daily specials like cheaper hookah, wings, and alcohol.- Full bar that serves multiple types of liquor and cocktails.Cons:There are literally no cons besides 1 that cannot be changed due to the environment and that's the fact that the music is playing. Don't think that the store has bad music, i always i enjoy their music selection when I'm there, but snooker players play in complete silence and needs major concentration."
