5 stars for Dan
Laminated coasters. Because when the bartender has the laminating machine out, anything is fair game.

Nice chill bar, fun place to go with friends. Went on a Friday night and there was around an hour wait for pool but was able to get shuffleboard no wait. Good drink prices and shuffleboard was 20$ for an hour for 4 people. Crowd was in the 28~ age range

Went here to play some pool. This is a nice pool hall in a great location. They have six pool tables to dartboards and two shuffleboards. Did not try any food there and their bar is fine but limited. For example they only had two Gins to choose from. Still, the place is clean and we had a good time. If you are into pool and in Cleveland Park, check this place out.

This was the first time I'd been to Atomic in like 25 years. It's held up well. Median age was mid-twenties, but staff were cool, and my friends and I enjoyed shooting a few games and drinking a few beers.

Cool place to just play some billiards or just have a drink. They charge you per player rather than per table. The place does seem a bit cramped.Overall, it's not bad but I'm sure you can find better.

Great spot. Came on a Wednesday night and played for 3 hours. Drank 4 beers. Service is super friendly and customers are respectful. I loved the decor.. hard to describe but it has an awesome ambiance. Beer selection was great - I had probably the most tasty cider I've ever had (orangecicle) and a delicious Sierra Nevada IPA. Most important part - the tables are all in excellent condition with good felt and cushions. All 9 footers and there are a good amount of them.. I think 6. Spacing is more than adequate - I'm not sure I've played in a hall with spacing this good in a long time so you don't have any interaction with the surrounding tables. Finally, pricing was good.. for the 3 hours and 4 drinks, I paid about little over $50.. not bad for a major metropolitan area. This is an excellent source to get your pool fix in D.C. and will be back when in town.. totally hit the spot. A+.. easy 5 star.

Atomic is a great neighborhood place to hang out at. As a pool hall they are on the upper edge of average. A bit crammed. They upgraded the table tops with need felt. What they really stand out at is the atmosphere and their bar staff. One of the best environment to play with friends and chat. I see myself a regular there.

A lot smaller than I anticipated but it was not over crowded at all. The pool sticks were well kept, the tables were smooth and we got in quite a few good games! Wanted to stick around for some darts but had to head home. Overall, a chill place!

It is a great bar if you are a glutton for punishment and you like what I think is the most obnoxious, unfriendly and downright nasty bartender who works there on Monday and Wednesday. I recommend you spend your money elsewhere.

Our night was great until the last 5 mins. The bartender was great all night and our family had so much fun. Very good service. However, I was trying to record the young adults in our group taking a shot and stepped too far behind the bar. The security guy grabbed my sweater (arm) and tried pulling me out. I had one drink at the beginning of the night and that was it because I was the DD. I am completely sober and wasn't causing any trouble. That security guard had no right to put his hands on me. I didn't escalate the situation because I worried about my son and brother getting into an altercation with him. He needs to learn to respect women. I recommend investing in training for him so he knows how to appropriately handle situations. He's lucky I didn't call the cops and press charges.

Very unwelcoming atmosphere and difficult bartender. It was very obvious we were not wanted there.
