Society Billiards + Bar - Pool hall in New York - 10 E 21st St, USA

Place was decent, legit. The drinks were good. I got the 50/50 margarita shown in the picture. It was crowded ish. All tables are very close to each other as you can see, you’re bound to bump with the other table … music was decent but definitely out of date. Our server was cool and chill. We got our first and second drink under 15min. Overall it was alright for my first time going to a billiard with friends. Only con is that in the beginning I saw that the servers weren’t on the same page, 3 had to ask our friend if they had their card for the tab and they did… so yeah they are a little unorganized and just need to get it together and communicate within themselves.

Overall pretty fun place. When I closed out my tab I saw that the bartender had put someone else’s drinks on it. It took some convincing for the manager to make it right. When he finally did he added a 20% tip onto the bill which was kind of annoying. Otherwise we had a great time!

Save your money and take it somewhere else. I went in with a group of 6 people and we got charged $246 dollars for one hour. We had a couple of drinks but for a shot to cost around 16 dollars when it's green tea with a splash of liquor is outrageous. We ordered all our drinks at the bar, so we didn't receive any service but still wanted to leave a 42 tip. The guy helping my friend out tried to get an extra $10 by lying to my drunk friend about the total charge after she wanted to include a 42 tip. We plaid a total of 288.22 cents for ONE HOUR. Never again. The drinks are so not worth the money, and neither is the service.

Absolutely terrible place. Came in with a party of 9 and was told that if we don’t close the tab within hour we’ll be charged next hour. Fair. After 40min we decided to give the balls back and close the tab. We’re told by a lady that she saw 13 people at the table and that’s what she’ll charge us. We argued that it’s only 9 so she settled for 9. Right after she comes by the table and tells us that we have to leave while we paid for a whole hour (we still had 20min to stay in the seats). We refused and eventually the bouncer comes by to kick us out. While leaving we wanted to close our tab at the bar where we learnt that they lost our credit card. Beautiful place but we paid $150 for 40 min of pooling and were treated like trash. Would never bring a party to this place again. Shame.

Arrived here around 1AM looking for a restroom and to buy drinks to compensate for their services. My girlfriend did not feel safe here. She felt pressured to order more than she was comfortable with. I would not recommend for any marginalized group.

We went with six people have some fun, enjoy some drinks and some fast food. Our server Addison made me felt as if he didn’t like us, perhaps bc we are Latinos. He took our order abruptly and when we asked why our order was taking too long he replied rude, “i will get it when it’s ready”. My husband didn’t react bc he was dealing with our food. Lastly, i went to the manager to tell him, Didn’t seem too upset and just said I’m sorry, And the end of the day I chose to spend my bd at this billard and i definitely regret it. Addision was extremely condescending and arrogant. Not welcoming or professional. I will never return nor do i recommend this place. Bye Society billiards 🎱

Security supervisor needs to be checked. Lost a group of regulars that night thanks to him. We’ve witnessed his attitude to other customers but never knew why he would treat them that way until now. Abuse of power. We’ve never had any issues with any staff or any other security. We’ve been nothing but friendly until this guy walked in already having a bad day, looking for someone to give him that only sense of power he has. What a shame. It was a cool spot while it lasted but luckily there’s other spots close by. We hope Society checks this before they continue to allow this to happen and lose more customers without knowing the real reason why. Good luck if you only take his side of his made up story that has probably changed again for the fifth time.

Smooth spot, but watch out for a guy named Matt. He’s not cognizant of the area, times, or the experience. Thats my word
