Google reviews really needs a negative star option, because one star makes it seem like the service is remotely ok, which this... place is so far from. We stood waiting for our drinks to be taken from the pool table area to the "dining room" area for overten minutes. There is a ten foot radius where you cannot have alcohol. Not sure what kind of insane licensing they've agreedto but it makes zero sense and seems like a headache for all involved. The train wreck that was working the till kept servingother people coming in. Our pool time was accumulating standing there as no one was coming to help after ten minutes. Wefinally decided after ten minutes to bring our drinks ten feet to the counter as it was clear no one was going to greet us. Wewere met by the absolute worst customer service I have ever come across. The “woman” called us a liar and said we weren’twaiting long at all and was aggressively banging the computer screen punching in about fifty different things with a vile lookon her face. We paid (probably extra for the pool time for waiting so long) and did not tip (for one drink) after being met withthis awful attitude. We always tip well, so this service is a testament to how awful it had to be to leave no tip. The“woman” questioned us as to why we did not tip as if it was not blatantly clear why we didn't. Imagine having the audacityto question a patron as to why they didn't tip. Tipping isn't mandatory and is based on customer service, which this place hasnone of. We questioned where our drinks were as there was no direction after having them ripped from our hands and met withattitude yet again and she asked if we still wanted to drink them. I most certainly did not feel comfortable even consuming thedrink after this unnecessary altercation, but my husband wanted to have his out of principal. It felt as if she hid our drinkswith no intention on returning them to us. My husband had half a drink and I did not even want to have my dr Read more

Had the half order of poutine, cheap and yummy and big portions! Lots of fun, and we didn't have to wait long for a pool table... on a Friday night even though it was pretty busy. Definitely recommend, happy we have a place like this to play pool. Read more

Great Hall with an absolutely delicious menu. I ordered truffle fries and spinach dip and it was the perfect snack! I also... ordered a Blue Hawaiian drink and I would recommend this, however I would suggest ordering with more sev and less pineapplejuice. The pineapple really took over the drink. Hope to be back soon! Read more

I visit peacocks atleast once in every 2 weeks. I love this place because it's easily accessible and open till late night. Their... food is great and there are a lot of tables. I'm giving them 4 stars because even though most of the staff is really nice, thereare a few exceptions who do not interact that well and look disinterested in serving us. That's something which can beacknowledged by letting customers provide real time feedback while paying their bills. Read more

This was a lovely find during a day trip to Vancouver Island from Vancouver itself. There were a variety of tables with good... facilities and fair prices for drinks (it helped that we arrived during happy hour). My son remarked that, very fairly, theycharged less per hour for an individual as well. Repairs to tables and their mechanisms were being undertaken while we werethere (in one corner) indicating a level of expertise and pride in the quality of provision. Read more

Super cool Billiards in the heart of Downtown Victoria. Many many tables to play at as well there is a drinking / non drinking... section as well. Very well priced too! Definitely check them out! Read more

This is a great place for both casual pool players & the pros. Call ahead to customize your fun by reserving your tables (or... other games) in advance. Service is great - staff are very accommodating! My small group of friends meet on Monday & Thursdayevening to play 8-ball for a few hours and we always have fun. Stop by to check it out because we are always looking for newpeople to play. Great skills are nice to have but a good attitude is more important. ???? Regardless, check out the place; youwill not be disappointed. D. Read more
