Stix Billiards Oldsmar

Fun pool hall with dart boards, video game. The equipment here is clearly well-maintained. The felt is fast, the rails are true, and you can tell the management takes pride in the playing surface. It’s the perfect balance of a "serious" pool room and a chill neighborhood hangout. It’s spacious enough that you aren't constantly bumping cues with the person at the next table.

Very nice establishment that was definitely bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Non-smoking, which is also a plus. Stopped by to kill some time before we had to go to the movies theater. They have several pool tables as well as dart boards. We didn't have much time to spend there before we had to go but will definitely return to enjoy the full experience and try some food.

I’ve been a regular at this bar/pool hall since it first opened, and I’ve always paid my tab in full and tipped consistently. I also have a good relationship with most of the staff, which is why this experience stood out. Last Saturday, I was approached by a bartender (Jen) and told—again—to “make sure I pay my tab.” This was the second time in one week I was singled out like this, despite the fact that I have never missed a payment. What made it worse is that this was said in front of other customers and my friends, creating the impression that I hadn’t paid. When I calmly asked why this was being directed at me—especially since it appeared to be related to someone else’s tab—the situation escalated and I was asked to leave. At no point did I raise my voice or act disrespectfully. I waited a full week before writing this, expecting management to recognize and address the situation. That didn’t happen. Being publicly singled out, associated with an unpaid tab that wasn’t mine, and then removed without cause is not acceptable—especially for a long-time customer. Management should take a closer look at how situations like this are handled, because this was completely mishandled.

The atmosphere was average. However, the staff's demeanor was unfriendly and unwelcoming, which is particularly concerning for a bar. The nachos were, at best, mediocre, and the cheese was served ice cold. Notably, the nearby 711 and movie theater offer better nachos. Due to the treatment my friend received from the bartender, who initially served us at a table by the dart 🎯 boards, I will not be returning. When my friend approached the bar to order another drink, the bartender claimed to be the "wrong person" ignored us, and walked away without taking our order or serving us. I was surprised that my friend still opted to pay the tab and leave a generous tip, despite the poor service. It is clear that this establishment lacks a fundamental understanding of hospitality, which is rooted in providing quality service.

Huge place with the bar and seating completely separate from the pool tables and darts. Pool tables were busy on a Saturday evening. Drinks were poured well and bartender was efficient.
