Pockets Restaurant

Went on a Wednesday night, cool divey atmosphere with nice pool tables. You can smoke cigarettes inside so don’t come here if that’s bothers you. The service was on point, never had an empty drink. Great food and it’s served later than most bars/​places

Sat AT THE BAR FOR 5 minutes while the skinny wanna be hipster bartender flapped his gums with the same person the whole time.
Got up and walked out.
Will never be back, expect a bar rescue in the future because this place sucks.

This is an ok place to hang and play pool, I really liked this place when I was 18 through 21 now I’m 25. But I liked it cuz I got to hang with friends and smoke my ciggs and play pool. They have a kitchen and the food is not bad for a pool hall. This is obviously a great place for the young kids who are just turning 18 or 21 and who just want to hang out. Be warned very smokey!

The only enjoyment I get from this place is the pool tables and the shuffle board. The service here has been SLOW and AWEFUL. Although our waitress was young, pretty and talkitive, her sense of urgency and respect for customers is completely lacking.
At one point, there was a completely wasted girl tailing our waitress, parading her around like a lost, drunk puppy. Who knows if she was even of age to drink. I know for sure our waitress was only 19. I’m very diss appointed in this place now. It use to be fairly descent. Now I don’t know if I will ever be returning.
RIP The Pockets of my youth. :(

It is a decent place to play pool with friends. They do serve food. But service isn’t that good. It takes forever to get someone to take your order.

This place couldn’t be any worse. The service is absolutely awful. I was a semi regular (about 1 – 2 visits a month) a couple years ago and it was a crap place but the servers were nice enough and kept my cup full even if only drinking water or soda. Back then on a Saturday you had to be early to get a table and elbow your way to the bar. Now though, do to the terrible wait staff it’s a ghost town even on a Saturday night. The floors are sticky, the pool tables are in disrepair, and the whole place is heavy with second hand smoke that will make your eyes water and lungs shrivel. It is baffling that an establishment with such potential has gone this direction. There’s not that much competition for a place like this. I will never return to this establishment.

Don’t go here for the food, go here to play pool with friends and have a few drinks. If you’re looking for a great pool hall that you and friends can have a good time, this is the place.
Yes, it’s smokey, but what do you expect? The place is targeting the 18 – 35 audience who like to hang out with friends, smoke, drink and play some pool.
$ 9 an hour of pool which is a little pricy which is why I gave a 3 star. I can go bowling for cheaper.
Still a good place to go hang with some friends.

I like the concept of this place but it really needs to be updated, I wont go back unless the air quality is corrected. It is SO smokey that I had to leave because I was feeling so sick.
Please fix the air, I would love to be able to go play pool.

This place is in serious need of an upgrade. Horribly smoky paired with an overall dirty and ugly establishment. Service was awful too, and the drinks very overpriced, not to mention the bartender had no idea how to make simple drinks that are very standard for bars.

This place just is not what it used to be. This place has been open for a long time and they have done nothing to upgrade it. sure they put in a few tvs and the juke box but the carpet is just nasty and is a hundred years old and this place still looks the same since it opened. plus you can smoke here too which is not good for me. their food is decent and always has been but other then that not much to say about the place. i haven’t been there in a really long time and just really don’t have the urge. this used to be the spot to hang out at but that was a long time ago.

I don’t like smoke, but even more, hate smelling like smoke! I had my hopes up that it would be No Smoking since they claim its a Restaurant, but no luck. Definitely NOT a restaurant but a bar. Obvious by the 51% alcohol sales sign in the entry. Only came here to play pool. Plenty of tables! All but one table was taken, we got on a waiting list, 5 – 10 min later they said a table was ready, go figure… It was they open table that was still just as open and vacant as when we got put on a waiting list. Turns out, that table had 2 torn pockets that the balls fell through (musta been why it was open). Had one Dos XX bottle that was good and cold! The crowd was diverse and seemed like most people were friendly. Probably wont be back just due to the smoking atmosphere.

Super smokey and expensive! blahh

Pretty standard pool hall and grille (which doesn’t have very good hours IMO). I mean what else should I say. Nothing too special about it, looks a lil beat up and run down but that’s pretty common in the south.
Their service is good. Lots of pool tables and games set up, arcade games alike. Crowd is usually pretty mixed and diverse, which I love.
I love going here on a Friday, Saturday or any night to hang out with friends for a few hours and get a few games/​drinks/​laughs/​etc in. Overall it’s a good time.

I came here to play in a pool tournament and was expecting a real dive but I was pleasantly surprised. One of the nicer bars I’ve been to around here, Pockets has lots of pool tables (both short and long), some arcade games lining the walls and shuffleboard ensuring there’s a little bit of something for everyone here.
The food is alright, a bit pricey for what you get but I didn’t expect much out of a bar. The typical lineup of burgers, chicken sandwiches, and various fried apps with the quality you’d expect but if there was one food that stood out to me it was the «breakfast burritos» they offered. I’m not sure if it’s part of their normal menu or it was just a special offering for the pool competition but they cost $ 2.50 and were frankly awful. They were about the size of a dry erase marker and filled with what I was told was «sausage» but I’ve never seen a sausage that was turned into a paste.
Oh well, food aside I think the reason I enjoyed the place was the staff. They were very cold to me when I first arrived but once they warmed up they became the kind of bar staff I like. Quick witted and willing to take your shit as well as dish out some of their own. I can see this place being kind of like a Cheers once you became a regular.
Overall a good place to go.

I guess it depends on what you look for in a bar. If you’re looking for a place to maybe get a little tail, play pool, and watch the game and that’s it, you’ve got it here. If you’re looking for somewhere with atmospheric charm, good music, and classy clientele, this isn’t for you.
Places like these are a dime a dozen — a big ol’ nasty pool hall with cheap drinks and Shiner on draft. I came here as a desperate measure after finding that Toadie’s was more crowded than usual and was treated to a near-​empty bar and Britney Spears music. And sticky tables. I didn’t particularly enjoy myself except for the company, but I wasn’t repelled either.
At one point, two late twenty-​somethings passed us wearing what was essentially the same outfit (the only difference being the color of their baseball caps). One said «Hello,» and the other, «Hola.» So if you’re looking for some Bilingual flirtation? You got it here. When we left, there was some guy screaming to another guy to go home to his breadmaker. Maybe he just got a new one or something. Or maybe he meant to say «breadwinner» and was trying to be an emasculating jerk, but no one thought to correct him.
This place was a lot more fun when I was underage.

This place has been around a very long time. and there’s good reason for it. It’s the only large pool hall of its kind in Euless. With plenty of pool tables, reasonably priced drinks, and good tunes on the jukebox. it’s a good place to unwind any night of the week.

It seems like every city I’ve ever been to has a restaurant/​bar-​n-​grill/​sports bar called «Pockets» (or or «Shooters», «Quenchers» or «Chasers» or some variation thereof) and none of them are part of a chain. The atmosphere and menu are almost always the same. This place is no exception. It has your typical burgers and chicken sandwiches menu and drink specials.
They offer free pool during the lunch hour, kareoke night, pool tournament night, Texas Hold’em night, etc. I went with some of my colleagues who were staying with me at the nearby Microtel. We went early in the evening, but this looks like it is a fun place. I was in the mood for a good big ol’ cheeseburger and I gotta admit, my burger was very good. The help here is very nice too.
