Was Anonym at Pooley's a mag?
Really good appetizers and burgers. Smaller selection of beer on tap, but decent variety plus bottles, cans and full liquor. Five ballpoint pens, billiard table, dartboards and more. Many tables and stands in addition to the good bar seats. Good size parking lot (watch for some pots/cracks). They also offer group assets with 2 full indoor basketball/Volleyball courts. Was there for a pocket tournament. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Pooley's:
If I could give negative stars I would. My boyfriend and I went to check out Pooleys, before we had 20-30 people coming the next week, and will definitely NOT be back. We ordered 1 drink each and 1 shot each and a burger and the burger had NO bbq on it and was Luke warm, then when we tried to get our check the bartender completely ignored us and helped 3 other people until we finally stood up and had to get in front...

We had lunch there. The meat lover's pizza was good. My mother had a salad and chili, both of which she liked. However, it's cement floors and full of sports memorabilia and lots of TV screens. Some of the speakers are actually a little too loud that they were blasting the game.. So if you're looking for a sports bar, this is your place. But it felt more cold than cozy but that's just my opinion.

Great beer selection, daily specials, and wide menu variety. I will be in the area again in a couple of weeks and will definitely stop in again.

It was fun!! Pay by the hour. i think it was like 15 an hr. It was a mixture of people sober,drunk, and happy!! It looked like they were all having a great time and we all had a great time as well.. we stayed awhile and it was no rush on the tables we liked that.. If you like pool i suggest go here.

The server was very nice and kind! But watchout if you try to have a good time here. I was playing pool with my parents and my friend, then a group of drunk kids started touching our food, sodas, and purses. We asked them to please stop several times. They got irritated/disrespectful to us and asked the manager to remove us. He asked no questions, but instead yelled at us to leave because the big group complaint. I explained the situation and how unfair it was. We were just shooting pool and eating, but since we weren't consuming the mayority of alcohol, we were kicked out. (Other customers came to the manager and explained to him that we were respectful the whole time). So please, think it twice before coming to this place if you want a good time with your family.

We enjoy throwing bags here. Madcity cornhole does an awesome job! The food is great. The new floor in the gym is amazing.

Large sports diet bar, with tons of tables and a large W-shaped bar for seating. TONS of TVs around the whole place so that each seat is a good seat to see...

Great food, the service was fast and friendly, if you're in the area I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat or a drink !!! They have a bunch of bar games as well.. Pinball machines, cornhole, pull tabs, etc.. And a ton of sports memorabilia... They also have a big event space attached where they hold everything from basketball to cornhole tournaments on Mondays... We had the 4 cheese grilled cheese and the Wisconsin burger.. Both were amazing, the burger seasoning was awesome, I'm not a huge burger guy but the burger was cooked perfectly and was soooooooooo good !!!!!!!

Had a great time on a work trip. This place has literally everything a sports fan could ask for and ample room to enjoy all the spirits and food they have to offer.
