I minus well write a review now that I can no longer go in. You have to be 21+ to all the fellow underage sinners. Last summer I enjoyed my time spent here. My cousins(21+) brought me once I moved back to Vegas and it was our hang out spot for a while. They said it wasn’t as packed with annoying, loud people(like other places). I know it was a popular spot for other underage sinners for I saw some who attended my high school. I even saw little kids here. But, I understand why the health department probably racked their age requirements up. ITWASALWAYSSTUFFYWITHCIGARETTESMOKE. They have a large selection of tables that are spaced a-okay to maneuver around. They even have a table in the middle, and lowered, for the pros. So while you’re waiting for your turn at your game you can take notes from the professionals to whoop your opponents a$$e$. The bathrooms might have not been the greatest, but I had room to shoot pool and their drink selection was dull. I never ate or drank here, just played pool. 3 stars for the great atmosphere and pool tables. It’s still a big shocker that the health department told them to up their age requirements instead of having the management have signs that read«NOSMOKINGINSIDE.» This place was always packed and now I understand why it’s so empty everything we drive by. Oh well, I’ll miss coming here with friends and family and hopefully in 2 years they will still be open!

Pretty cool place. Spacious has tons of tables both full size and bar size. Has slot machines at bar. Excellent customer service from the bartender but guy in the front was rude. Would give a 5 star if not for him and the limited food selection.

Its a real fucking pool hall! This place is for the pool players that oh, i don’t know, like to actually shoot pool. If your looking for action or a nice place to just relax and shoot some, than I would strongly suggest heading down. They have beers on tap and an excellent«pool happy hour» during the day. Located right in chinatown, its got an old skool feel that makes you want to be a better player. Ive been coming down for a couple years, and the nice 9 footers definitely helped perfect my game.

Pool sharks is a fun relaxing place to go when you just had a hard day at work or a place to chill and relax or to kill time I always enjoy myself when I do come here the only negative is the place smells like smoke it’s so bad that it will get on your clothes if they can fix that problem then this place wouldn’t have that minor problem to worry about.

Pool sharks got awesome diamond tables and lots of space to move around but… they need to turn on the AC(please) !. It’s very hot in there, girls don’t like it because their mascara will run + the clean ones don’t like to be sweaty and as a guy well I can only get so sweaty before I have to take a shower. They need to put a AC fund bucket at the bar.

This place is pretty big and works 24 hours but I guess this is the only pluses. I would say they need very very good cleaning and steaming on everything as cigarette smoke feels so bad, carpets dirty, bathrooms awful. They definitely need remodeling!!! Good they have bar!!! Anyways we had some fun so I’m leaving 3 stars.

I gave this place 3 stars because of the Diamond Tables. I just cant give it 4 because I came here to shoot a few games and was very disappointed by the quality of the house cues. They were AWFUL!!! I could barely find a cue worth playing. Now I understand that most pool halls have players that bring their own cues but I came to Vegas from out of town and left my cues at home. I would come back to this place with my own cues but would find another spot to visit if I didnt have them with me.

My best friend and I come here on ladies night to chill and play. It’s quieter than Cue D’s, although their equipment and décor isn’t exactly top notch. Definitely a place to stop by and play.

As far as décor goes… pool sharks is not a jetsetter… it could definitely use a makeover… but it’s the only place in town that I play pool. The equipment is good; the action is decent. They have three tournaments a week. Ladies play free on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. They have day rates. I wish they had hard liquor but for now just beer, wine and spritzer type drinks. 22

The ladies room has a vending machine with sexual practical jokes in it for $ 0.75 which are not worth the price.

I’ve been going here since I was 15! By far it is my favorite pool hall in town. Yes, it is smokey inside and yes, it is a bit of a hole in a wall kind of place but it makes me feel like I’m in a pool hall out of a movie like Poolhall Junkies(If you haven’t seen Poolhall Junkies, you need to get on it). They also host a lot of tourneys here. Weekdays are usually chill and laid back but the weekends can get busy. The ladies who work the counter are all very nice and sweet. Them alone makes me pick Pool Sharks over any other pool halls. Oh and I believe Tuesday and Wednesday are ladies night so free pool if you are a chica. Free pool = more money for booze. Music selection from the jukebox is diverse and the touch screen games always get me after I’m done shooting.

Had some awesome times here, definitely would recommend for cheap games of pool($ 0.75/game or some hourly rate). Only downside is that it gets REALLY smoky. Otherwise, service is good and it’s a nice chill joint. Dunno why Unilocal says it’s in Chinatown, it’s in a strip mall far away from C-Town.

It’s smokey, old, and it reeks. But they have ladies night on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 6pm so I get to play for free! They’ve replaced the felts on a few tables so that helped with making it look good I guess? Nothing much has changed in here and I’ve been coming here to shoot pool since I was 17. Crowds can vary depending on the days you go. Weekends can be busy and have a younger crowd than the weekdays. Workers are friendly and a lot of tournaments are held here. Although they could use new pool sticks and a little bit of sanitizing in this place. But what pool hall nowadays look spanking clean and not so smokey? Oh and if you have to use their bathroom, don’t… Try to hold it or at least go before you get here. Overall a good place to hang out with some friends and get competitive!

Like other reviews have said, this place is dim, smokey, and a pool hall that usually has a younger crowd. Been coming here for couple years now with my friends, and even while it’s a little smokey, dim, and has a younger and alternative crowd, I’ve actually enjoyed shooting pool here. The place does look a little intimidating because it’s located in a tiny strip mall in a not so great area of town, but if you’re looking for a place that’s sort of tucked away from the bigger scene of pool in Vegas and features more of a local crowd, Pool Sharks would be the place to go. I’m not certain if they still have ladies night going on, but that is/was one of the big factors that keeps myself and my friends coming back. The staff there is pretty laid back and friendly. You can usually have good control over the jukebox since not a lot of people tend to put money in the machine. Weekdays/nights are the best times to go, since they are usually not too crowded but has some action going on. The reason why I gave Pool Sharks three stars is because of the location and the environment, but otherwise it’s a great pool hall if you’re looking for a lowkey, local scene to shoot pool.

Great place to hang out with friends if you’re out late, or if you just want to play a few games in the afternoon. It’s very smoky, and a little dive-ish, but that’s just part of the charm(just like hunting down a straight cue is part of the fun). The quarter tables are almost always full on weekend evenings, so show up early. If you do end up having to put your name on the wait list, I recommend buying a pitcher of Shock Top($ 8.50) to help you pass the time. Open 24 hours Open to all ages(They do check id’s after curfew, and kick out anyone under 18.) 21 — 9′ tables 7 — 7′ tables with 3 Diamonds and 1 Gold Crown 5, and 2 Gold Crown 4’s 10 Video poker machines with 2 $ 500 drawings each month 2 weekly tournaments

Awsome place for a younger crowd to go and play pool and just enjoy a good atmosphere. Over 25 tables for you to play on. And they have Galaga arcade… Couldn’t be happier! Decent beer on tap, but not everyone can carry guinness on tap: P

I like how the people here are more for my age. It’s a diverse of age groups so, I don’t feel so old when ever I’m here. The bartenders are awesome and friendly. They definitely took care of me whenever I’m ordering drinks. The way it’s set up is your typical pool hall look. Very smoky though so I wouldn’t take anyone under the age of 18 here. There’s security so that way there can’t be any problems and if any starts, they’re there to regulate it.

I’ve been here many times. It’s not really located in the best area. The tables aren’t bad, but the place seems a bit shanty. Prices are decent, but I wouldn’t recommend coming here unless you don’t mind smelling like ashtray after you leave.

Pool hall with Action Pit okay tables and some diamond tables, younger crowd, old juke box, when pool events are in town. this is usually the pool hall of choice for late night action games.
