Editorial Review for Players Bar and Grill – by John Gerard McLaughlin

In Short
With a pitched ceiling, exposed beams and team pennants ringing the space, the bar resembles a tricked out high school gym and boasts a multiplex-size center screen and 14 monitors, all tuned to sports. Diners can choose a raised booth on the perimeter, while die-hard fans might opt for the bar or a front-row four top. Draft choices include domestics plus Guinness and Konig Ludwig Weiss, and Zywiec and Okocim in bottles.

User Reviews for Players Bar and Grill

3 Star Rating: Average

This was the first time I went to this place and since I just moved into the neighborhood I was looking forward to it. I guess my hopes were too high because I left greatly disappointed in the service or actually lack of. The manager stated the short staffing was due to four people quitting two days ago which after reading these reviews, I doubt I believe. They have had poor service reviews for the past two years. Players if you are reading this, GET IT TOGETHER! We want to make your place our regular place but unless the service gets better we are going to go over to DeLux instead.

Pros: Location, Televisions, Space, Surroundings, Cleanliness, etc.

Cons: S E R V I C E

I give Player's an average rating. It's a nice-looking place for sure. I go to play pool. Bar pool table in great shape and plenty of room around it. I've never sat down to eat so I can't comment on the service... I DID have calimari one time while playing pool and it pretty much sucked. The girls that work there are pretty good looking but not friendly. You can feel the attitudes. I agree w/ someone else above who said that they don't feel welcome there.

Pros: Nice pool table, chicks have nice (. )( .)s, tons of televisions

Cons: Service, food, attitudes
