Eh....played pool which was cool, but the customer service was horrible. It's important to embrace all and be inclusive....when it came to the bartenders they seemed like it was a problem to serve us...less than welcoming.

Great dive bar vibes. Pool tables, TV's, and beer from the bottle. Plus, pizza and other tasty food items. Staff is very friendly and attentive to recurring issues with the pool table. I'm certain we'll be back.
$20–30

They wouldn't let me in with an American federal ID, the bouncer said they could only take state IDs and not federal IDs. Everywhere online it says it's completely fine to use that ID and every other bar has taken it. The Belvidere honestly...Read More

Two stars because the staff work hard as heck and do their best. They're friendly and personable. As far as the establishment goes..it's a dump. I've never made eye contact while sitting on the John EXCEPT WHEN HERE. The bar tables were touched up about three...Read More

I usually avoid going here... Mostly because they don't have beers on tap. But also their liquor selection is not that extensive, the well is pretty lackluster. On top of that, the atmosphere tends to be kinda funky. It's one of the few places where...Read More

I really like the private bar seating in the back. I could keep to myself and drink without being bothered. Has a few pool tables and patio area as well. Good, quick service and fast friendly staff. Too easy!

People were friendly, but the service was slow and hard to come by. They don't have beer on tap, but they do have some good bottled beer. We sat outside, which was nice, but the tables were dirty. Overall, it was a pleasant dive-y spot...Read More

A nice, intimate little spot to grab a drink or play a game of pool. Bartenders are knowledgeable and make a good drink, if a little strong. There is a nice outdoor patio area, and a back room with air hockey and more pool.

Cozy, dark bar, feels like it's mostly locals. Was able to order a tasty pizza from "Joey's" upstairs. Friendly, fast service. Nothing fancy. A few patrons appeared to have been over-served. Pool tables and a juke box.

Best bar for pool and cool (people) in Santa Rosa. Staff is great, owners are cool, and drinks/food is fantastic. Many regulars and staff have stayed for over 20 years! That speaks for itself.
