What players say
Having expensive equipment and good pool tables doesn't really matter when the owner hesitates to show basic courtesy to customers and ends up ruining the fun. We were having a really good time when, right as our game was ending, the owner came over, started putting the balls into the pockets himself and rudely told us it was time to leave. He refused to extend the game even though we were willing to pay for the extra time. We obviously understood that our slot was over, but the way he handled it was completely unnecessary and really know how to talk to customers and not try to shoo them away. The whole interaction was so rude that it genuinely killed the mood and ruined what was otherwise a fun evening with friends. I've been to quite a few snooker/pool places, but I've never had a customer interaction remotely this unpleasant. Also, getting to the place involved crossing two floors with stagnant/flooded AC water. Reminded me of the ship sinking scene from titanic. The direction to the place wasn't very clear either, and the horrible smell made the whole approach feel quite unpleasant and unsafe. Please sort that out as well and then please think about lecturing customers about
The ambience, equipment was amazing. We had a really good time… until suddenly the owner seemed to have gotten mad with us. We were understandably 30 mins late because of traffic and he was kind enough to let us begin our billing from when we started to actually play. Towards the end, we didn’t realize that we had gone overtime, which is great evidence for how much fun we were having. We only realized when suddenly the owner had come and pushed all the balls into the pockets saying we had run out of time and he’s already lost a lot of money because we pre-booked it and made payment online. I just want to make it clear that we would’ve loved to extend and pay for it, because there were no other groups waiting to take our place or anything. But after that we were at a complete loss of words. I genuinely got very scared and just wanted to leave after we paid whatever extra that we owed ( Which was 5 extra mins for ₹30)
Having expensive equipment and good pool tables doesn’t really matter when the owner hesitates to show even basic courtesy to customers and ends up ruining the entire experience. We were having a genuinely good time with friends, and as our game was nearing the end of our allotted time, the owner suddenly came over and started putting the balls into the pockets himself. We weren’t even given a chance to ask whether we could extend our slot — which we were more than happy to do and pay for. Instead, he immediately started heckling us with comments along the lines of, “You guys have watches and still can’t follow time?” We completely understood that our booked slot had ended. That was never the issue. The issue was the completely unnecessary and disrespectful way it was handled. There is a huge difference between politely saying, “Your slot is over, would you like to extend?” and physically ending someone’s game while lecturing them about their “time sense.” Ironically, we actually wanted to continue playing and would have happily paid for additional time. But apparently giving customers ten seconds to ask for an extension was too much courtesy to expect. Another strange part of
The owner has zero basic courtesy. We were having a good time with friends when our slot was over, and instead of simply asking if we wanted to extend (which we were happy to pay for), the owner came over, started putting the balls away himself, ruined our game and said things like, “You guys have watches and still can’t follow time?” We knew our time was up, that was never the issue. It was the rude way he handled it. Not everyone comes here to play professionally. Some people just want to play with friends and have fun. The approach to the place was also a mess, with stagnant AC water and a horrible smell on the way up. Honestly, one polite sentence could’ve avoided the whole thing. Literally I’d prefer any other place to this place
The tables and equipment may be good, but the way customers are treated matters just as much. We were having a great time when, towards the end of our session, the owner suddenly came over, started taking all the balls off the table himself, and told us it was time to leave. When we questioned why he had to do it that way, his response was, “You should have asked for extra time in the beginning itself.” I’m not sure how we were expected to know at the start that we would want additional time later. What made it worse was him repeatedly bringing up the ₹30 charge for the extra five minutes, even though we were more than willing to pay for additional time if the situation had been handled politely. The unnecessary attitude completely spoiled what had been a fun evening. On top of that, getting to the venue meant walking through two floors with stagnant/flooded AC water and a terrible smell, which was both unpleasant and concerning. Good facilities cannot compensate for such poor customer service. I would strongly suggest going elsewhere
