4 reviews for Q Billiards & Sports Bar
Well, what can be said about this establishment? I've only been here a couple of times, but that's enough to observe that this place is pretty cool.
This establishment is rather large and offers a multitude entertainment options: bean bags, darts, Foosball, arcade games, pool and watching sporting events.
I've noticed that the college-age kids stick to playing bean bags, which is free to play. There are 4 stations at which to play, and I can only assume that the game becomes highly amusing after a couple of drinks to test one's dexterity. I have to admit that I played a couple of times, but stopped in germaphobe disgust when I noticed a huge plume of dust escaping a bean bag that had hit the floor beneath a lamp. I don't know how often they replace those bean bags, but judging from the dust, I'd have to say never.
Just adjacent to the bean bags, they have a row of electronic dart boards. I don't think it's much fun to play darts because I didn't see anyone approach that gaming area. Perhaps it's not as fun to play if there's no danger of accidentally impaling someone.
Completely across the room are the Foosball tables. They have 3 Tornadoes in really great shape. They have doubles Foosball tournaments every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month. Your partner is picked randomly with a deck of cards, so it's difficult to win time after time. The tournament coordinator even brings balls so the tournament isn't played with crappy ones. The game isn't only for guys as I've seen a couple of gals playing in the tournament.
Next to the Foosball tables are the arcade games. They have games like golf and a punching bag and a hunting game and a couple more, but I've never paid attention to these games; however, people do play them.
This place really caters to pool-playing, and it doesn't disappoint. There are about 20 pool tables in great shape. The pool tables draw in a multitude of players from Asian business men (well, I can only assume they were business men because they arrived and played in dress shirts, slacks and loafers) to skinny hipsters and their paramours--oh, did I mention this place is great for people watching? Maybe I'm just easily amused, but I digress. They have pool playing specials, but you have to inquire when they are or check their website.
You can watch sporting events like baseball or mixed martial arts at the bar area or near the bean bags where it's projected on a large screen. These sporting events are not obnoxiously playing, though.
Apparently, there is live entertainment here once in a while--though it's not really advertised.
This place does a great job of separating the areas so people don't having bean bags flying in front of their faces as they're taking a pool shot. Also, there are many tables and ledges quite cleverly placed around the establishment where you can lay your pitcher of Bud Light or your purse.
As for the food, I've only tried a couple of appetizers. They're tasty, but don't expect freakish portions. I reckon you would have to get a couple of appetizers to get full. They do have sandwiches, wraps and wings, but I haven't tried them yet.
Overall, I would say this place is great. I give it 4 stars because there's lots to do, everything is adequately spaced out so there's no crowding, and it's where I discovered Bud Light (yay!). I need to taste the sandwiches, etc before I can give it 5 stars.
My only beef with this joint is that the music playing overhead is either all right or boring. I'm just glad they don't play "trendy" music . . . actually, nevermind. I guess the music is pretty good. I think I would go insane if they played Katy Perry or whoever the heck is "in" right now.
Not a bad bar. They have 1 dollar Lites on thurs with a five dollar cover. Gets pretty busy of course. Pool players, dart players, fuseball players heaven.
They have added live music on occasion, usually Saturday nights. I have seen two bands there and both were heavy metal - made me leave and go next door to cornerstone which has much better tastes in music.
Check out the Sunday Bloody Mary bar - about 30 different condiments to make bloody marys with.

Always a full parking lot it seems. Great place for pool and one of the few places for foosball.… Read more »
In addition to being a pool hall, foosball is played here! Serious Foosball tournaments are held here with cash prizes for the highly talented. But even if you don't know a snake shot from a pull shot, this place has a bunch of Tornado Foosball tables to learn on.
