User Reviews of The Green Room

Yelp.com Review - by Jonathan F.

5.0 of 5 stars. Definitely the best bar in Durham, maybe the world. Keep in mind I first went there in 1993, have been a steady customer ever since, and I also worked there while in college. If you take those out of...

Yelp.com Review - by Angela S.

4.0 of 5 stars. i go mostly for the shuffleboard. the boards are pretty worn and curved, and on weekends, there's usually a line for it, but some lucky weekday nights, we get it all to ourselves for nonstop shuffling...

The Green Room--best place to shoot pool in Durham by Silas S. at InsiderPages

The Green Room is a classic pool hall, the kind of which there are very few left. Rows of ancient billiards tables, along with darts, cards, pinball, and arcade games are offered here, as well as a beer bar...

Best place in Durham

I love the Green Room! This is the only place in Durham I go to hang out. The guys on staff are all friendly and smart and the owner always makes sure to say hello. This is a place where you can go and feel...

Classic Pool Hall. Interesting mix of people.

The earlier reviews with complaints about "rules" are strange but there's an element of truth. The new owner doesn't have the personality of the former owner, Joe. That's ok, we're all different, but if you're...

Historic place with cheap beer, great music, and gorgeous old pool hall tables

A classic, probably my favorite place in Durham. Beautiful, simple layout, great jukebox, darts and shuffleboard, old wooden seats that looked they've been restored from a 1930s schoolhouse, its is an easy...

The Green Room: Make the Pilgrimage

Forget the two bad reviews below and treat yourself to some real history. If the powers that be had any real soul they would contribute to the preservation of places like The Green Room. Owned & run by Michael...

Yelp.com Review - by Toni L.

2.0 of 5 stars. Do your lungs a favor and don't come here. My clothes smelled like smoke even after I washed them. The Green Room has plenty of tables, two dart boards, foosball, shuffleboard, and a bar with mainly...

Yelp.com Review - by Tracy A.

5.0 of 5 stars. I felt a part of the local crowd the night my sister, brother-in-law, his sister, and I hung out here for beer and pool. My brother-in-law and his sister are locals so they felt a home hanging out...

New to it, but love it

I'm new to Durham, but was told about The Green Room (and former owner Joe) by former Durham resident. Spent the evening there last night, kicked back some cold ones, and shot some pool (not much else to do,...

joe would be horrified

Talk about BAD customer service. Wow. Can't believe I'm about to say this. After years of being a Green Room faithful I have to say that the change of ownership has completely changed my feelings. What used to...

gone down hill

Very discouraging. I used to come here all the time a few years ago. I stopped in a few times within the last 4 weeks and each time I was treated very rudely. Every time I tried to play shuffleboard I was told...

Best bar in durham

Not many people know about the green room, but it has to be one of my favorite places on the planet. For those of you who may be frightened by the outward appearance, get over it. Walk in, have a drink and...

good for serious pool

It's an old school pool hall, no frills. Balls and tables are not too clean. House cues are ok. Only serves bottles of beer.

Green Room! The Green Room is a wonderful dive on Broad Street in Durham. The place is old, with the floor peeling up and walls that have probably never been wiped down. That said, it is a great pl...

Awesome down to earth atmosphere

Crowd is typically Durham locals with a few students. There's never a problem to get a table, even on a weekend evening. Bartenders are friendly and keep the beers coming.
