One of the nicest pool halls I have ever set foot in my life. The food is great and the tables are Diamond 8fts. The staff is very attentive and the owners could not be nicer. They are pool players so they get it.
Good alcohol prices, pool tables look great, good food selection at a good price, just havent tried it yet, but will soon!
Amazing burgers, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Super friendly staff, and just an overall great place whether your going with friends or just by yourself!
We love having this pool hall so close to our community. We have had the pleasure of hosting an event and our residents loved the food and happy hour! Highly recommend paying a visit to this South Austin gem.
Wish they had hand powder and better pool stick selection but service and atmosphere made up for all of that!
Lane and Betsy, with 20+ years of league experience, have thought of everything.Betsys Billiards is an OASIS in an unfortunate pool desert. Despite recent closures due to the pandemic, Betsys offers brand new Diamond tables with Simonis cloth and steeeep discounts for league players.Theres a wide selection of liquor, plenty of TVs, and a generous happy hour. Pair that with stellar service from Rose and Nikki as well as a TouchTunes jukebox... its an easy Want to Go for your Google Maps list. Frequent tournaments available for pool enthusiasts.
Great tables! Everything is still very fresh and new. Staff was also very nice. Unfortunately the liquor license is only until midnight, but they do stay open until 2. Hopefully this will change soon but we all know that TABC is full of d-bags.
Balls are never clean. Owners are so cheap they dont have a ball cleaning machine like a normal pool hall, and make the staff try to clean them by hand. Probably never vacuum them. They must be toxic to tournament directors because they dont run weekly tournaments anymore after being open less than a year. Seems they try to force people to use jukebox so many times its quiet and boring. Sad because the place has so much potential.
Beautiful inside service was great the atmosphere and the people are kick back. Would love to visit again soon
A little dark...lots of good pool tables to play.. but when looking for a bridge.. they were all by the bathroom in a trash can...hmmmmN food was so so..ordered 2 basic burgers. . Not enough burger for 12 dollars each... just saying...n it was free pool Monday... that was good.Otherwise. So so place...
The very nice tables do not make up for the short comings. I really wanted to like this place but will not be going back if I can help it. Some of it is due to going on a league night, but most is not.It is echoey loud due to the lack of decor (some noise cancelling panels in the ceiling would do wonders). There are also unfinished areas. I know this place just opened and all but, really?It was crowded and cramped on the few public tables they had. There was also a lack of seating and tables for personal affects. I counted 1 - 2 x 3 table with 2 chairs for every 2 public tables. There were stools not being used in the league areas (just saying). Also, where the league players were sitting made certain shots impossible and the players could not be bothered to move (yeah, real welcoming). This really made it impossible to relax and enjoy ourselves.The table lights NEED COVERS!!!!!! I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! Not a great experience to be blinded by EVERY table light in the place if you are not looking down.Everything is served in a can, bottle, or disposable plastic cup. Really rounds out that hole in the wall feel. Even the entrance could use some love, it felt like walking into an inner city boys and girls club.We were told it was $15/hour but there was a sign behind the person that stated it was $14/hour from 7 to 11. We got there around 8. Small thing but maybe learn your own pricing or update your signs?It took an hour before any wait staff came around. By that time we had enough and were playing 1 last rack before leaving.Really hope they can pull this place around. If they do I would be willing to give them another shot and revise my review. Until then, there are plenty of other places where I dont feel like I am compromising so much just to play on some 8 Diamond tables.
I love shooting pool here! Tables, drinks, food, and service are all great!
Plenty of tables. Good bar staff. Fun crowd
Super nice pool hall in South Austin. Lots of 8ft diamonds. Lots of space. Great staff and owners. Its where I take people for my pool lessons on Airbnb. Just Google lessons with a pool hustler.
Love a pool hall opened right next to my house. Been here a couple times and love how everything is new. Tables, ball, sticks, and waitress is quick to get more drinks
Great diamond tables but balls not clean. Could use some decor. Sadly only 8 ft tables. Still need to go elsewhere for serious play on a 9 ft.
Okay food but overpriced food, dark environment and ignorant man at the front counter
Great owner, clean space, and lots of tables! Loved it. We will be back anytime we visit Austin.
Was there a couple of weeks ago, the bartender completely ignored us , he wasnt serving other customers he just never acknowledged us that we were there I finally got his attn. and when I asked him why it took him so long to come to us he got mad and refused to serve us. Will not be going back.
Excellent staff and tables. Cant ask for much more
Seemed like a nice lowkey bar. Nice tables and service. Im black and did not feel out of place. That matters.
Great tables, food, and folks.
This place has great tables
Betsys was recommended for being a pool hall built by people that love pool. It lived up to that. Good place. Good people.
Great service and great tables. Nice to have a place thats a pool hall first and a bar second.
If billiards is your practice, Betsys will be your temple. Brand new Diamond tables, brand new Simonis cloth, brand new Cyclops balls, a respectful, unpretentious atmosphere, all inside a space that feels designed to maximize player ergonomics rather than shareholder profit.
It was my first visit there and I had a great time. The service was great and the place was cleanly.
Awesome! What a great pool hall. Made for pool players. Great staff!
I believed to be charged for something I thought I did not receive, contacted Betsys email and they resolved it immediately, a professional response for their customers!
Awesome, Great service, great t tables. Love the blue colors. I will be back 🎱
Best pool tables in Austin! If you think youve played pool? Guess again!! 🙃

2022-01-24This is a nice clean place to play some pool with friends. They have more than 25 available tables and a full bar. I also tried the attached cafe, had the basic burger and loaded fries. Loaded fries were great, burger was good but over cooked. Overall a great spot for billiards, check it out.

2022-01-22What an awesome pool hall. Not only are the tables new and very nice, the food is terrific as well.At Betsys you can play a great game of pool without worrying about the quality of the equipment.Also, in a city like Austin where food is important, they do not disappoint. The chicken sandwich is on point. And theyve got great deals as well.Pay Betsys a visit. Completely worth it!!

2022-06-27Had a wonderful time was able to play three games within an hour and got to know a really cool bartender named Sarah. She made us feel right at home and even recommended some drinks!

2022-03-11I have been playing my entire life and was looking to come back and find a league post Covid. I was able to walk in the first night of the season and find a welcoming team. Lots of diamond tables with tight pockets! Feels like austin with a diverse group of folks. Everyone is welcomed. Great tournament on Sunday nights. Multiple pool leagues throughout the week so anyone can find a day to play. The tables can be a bit frustrating to play on at first but will help make you a better player.

2022-05-04Nice tables and staff.But this place has some Air Conditioning issues when its hot outside.It turns into a sauna inside, and the staff says they have no ability to adjust.

2022-01-31Im reluctant to let people know how awesome this place is since that will destroy its current status of Hidden Gem. Buuuuut, well, the staff is friendly and attentive, drinks are plentiful and affordable, the tables are aplenty and each table is named after a city in Texas. Ample pool cues which are mostly not warped, and they even have a jukebox and bar food. 5 stars. Also, please stay away and dont tell your friends!! 🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪

2022-03-14Expensive :/ Staff was good and the pool tables are nice. Could move the seating further from the tables though. Kept having to ask people to move or duck so I could take a shot.
