Tailgaters Snookered, Frisco TX

Only small tables now, we came after seeing a review that there are 9 ft pool tables boards as well but they were not, seems like they removed them at the remodeling.

We were out on a date night and were driving by and decided to check it out. We are so glad we did, this place is awesome. It has a great atmosphere. It’s got that small town bar fill with an upgrade. They have pool tables, dart boards and TVs everywhere so you can’t miss any of the game. And the food was amazing, definitely the best “bar food” we’ve ever had. The drinks were also amazing and nicely priced. Service was fast and incredibly friendly.

They tipped themselves on my tab. Gratuity charge on a check before I choose to tip is rude.

[This is the original review 5-star review. Please see below for a 2023 update after new ownership. ]

This is my favorite place to play in North Dallas.

If you're a casual player you'll find a non-intimidating, well-lit and smoke-free environment with a friendly staff.

If you're a serious player, you'll find plenty of 8-foot and 9-foot tables in great condition with lots of room around the tables (enough for our 5-man teams to play on league night.) I hear the place is run by a player, so there's hope they will be well maintained.

The food is very good with more mature offerings than your typical bar menu. There are even a few craft beers available. This higher end menu comes at a price; be prepared to spend 10-20% more for the food than you might expect at a typical pool hall.

TABLES

[This section is for the serious player. ]

There are 8-foot and 9-foot tables. If you're looking to play snooker or three-rail billiards, you'll need to find another spot.

The 9-footers are Gold Crowns and play great (as good as you would expect.)

The 8-footers we played on are Imperial brand tables. They play well enough, but be aware that these tables do not have the best construction. If you bump the table in the wrong direction (lengthwise) you can expect a bit of table top movement (with the possibility of shifting balls.)

** 2023 UPDATE:

When Tailgaters took over Snookered, they made a number of changes. Months ago, the tables were all moved as part of a remodel / interior rearrangement and were never leveled properly (many of the tables "roll off" as much as a half-diamond to a full diamond.) The tables are also crammed tighter together in their new space making for tricky logistics for team league play.

During the warmer months, they had difficulty maintaining a reasonable temperature (many players sweating from the heat.) Perhaps as a mitigation measure, they would open the large garage-door style windows which surround the pool tables. This introduces a lot of humidity (any advanced player will know what this means.)

It really feels like the new owners do now value pool players or the leagues.

The staff has also had a complete turnover with the new owners. As much as I miss the previous staff, the new staff is just as good as the previous. They are the only saving grace of the new place.

They have good pool and dart boards. I felt better than any other place I have played around this area. But the Tables are bit close, sometimes you might have to wait for other tables to complete their shot.

The food here is not good! Everything tasted frozen and pre-made. Also, they don't have prices on the menu which is kinda sketch. Place was dead during a cowboy game but I guess I know why now. Looked like a cool place. Service was friendly and fine. Just the food was below average. The bone in wings weren't too bad. Stay away from the catfish, mac&cheese, and coleslaw. All horrible.

Came in the other day to watch a couple of games, and it was disgusting. Food on the floor and the table tops was so dirty that I saw players trying to sweep it so they could play. Here is what the restrooms looked like shortly after they opened, and only 3 other people were here besides my group. I will never come back to this place.

I came here after their remodel. I didn't eat any food, so I am not able to provide feedback on that aspect. The space is huge. It's great for game day TOTALLY! The place was clean and organized. They have by the hr pool tables and other sports bar games. The staff was very nice. The drinks could have been better but I think it's just due to the new staff finding their way. My only complaint was the bathroom. It needed attention.

Superb place. And also i wanna register for next billiards tournament how can we register can you please let me know? Thank you

Great bar to watch sports.
Outstanding food with a good selection of beverages. Guinness on tap also.
Had some great banter with the manager Brian, funny.

Waited 25 minutes for handful of soggy shoe string fries which were $5.10 out of 10 don't recommend. This place is only good for playing pool but even their pool tables are mediocre and need some work.

Snookered WAS our go to dart/billiard bar in Frisco. Sadly, with the new ownership, food has declined, but still has friendly staff/patrons, and always clean. Might come back in a few weeks to retry, but not going to be our go-to spot anymore.

Ok place, enthusiasts will like it and for rest it's a let down. Lives upto it's name.

Food wasn’t good, don’t eat the fish. No prices on menu and they don’t breakdown what you bought. Server was nice and the place was clean.

Recently purchased by Tailgaters. The new owners are new to pool so might take a while to adjust. I think the owners are more of a bar type than a pool room type.

They removed the two nine footers out of the main playing area. They moved one to the dining area but didn't level it last I checked. They also were using those cheap balls for the big table. Those balls play light and small. I used to go there every week but now is not as enjoyable. I may go back but not my first choice anymore.

I was not too happy that they fired Taylor after a few days. From what I understand, she was the one that brokered the sale. No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

I see that the owner commented but he obviously was not paying attention and has bad information. I know what happened. I was there.

On a sidebar, ownership also doubled the rates on weekend days for the nine footer. I guess the normal 10-25 percent rate hike wasn't good enough for them. I would have to rate this establishment as two stars vs three.

Clean, good food, good tables and proper pool lighting. Hour away from me but when I'm in the area I'll be dropping in.

This place went down hill fast after it was bought out. Food changed. Staff changed. Nobody can seem to get bills right. It’s a mess. I’m disappointed…

Depends on what you are looking for - pool hall? This is it. Bar? Yes - on right side of the building. I had some friends in town staying at Comfort Suites and this was a perfect place to walk and grab a beer to catch up.

The place is Good. Clean. The problem is things are not consistent, like food. Every month the chef changes so do the food. Compare to a year an Half ago the food quality & Taste was great and Now its going down. Eg: their Flatbread, compare to what they had in the beginning is totally different on what they have now. Not enough staff, no service. The owner lady is there sometimes but Too much ego and seems never want to take customer feedback. She and the servers makes feels like “This is what we have take it ot leave it”. Hopefully they keep it up.
