Customer Reviews

First time here and definitely not the last. For me this was a hidden gem. Quality and affordable. Very good ambiance and music. Perfect to go with friends or first date.

Love the space here. From the billiards, to the bar size, to the lounge area and dance floor. When there are multiple groups here, you're not arm to arm. You can still move with ease. The lounge area and dance floor by the dj gets hot, so dress appropriately. Management says the air is on but it doesn't always feel like it. The drinks and food are a 5/6 out of 10. Note I usual get wings and flavored margaritas. Parking can be difficult as Urban air is across the street.

Really dope spot. I been A few times now. There always a pool table available and the price is great compared to other pool halls. The food is really good also, I recommend the garlic fries. Good prices is also really good

Nice billiards bar with very large tables. Service is really nice as they check on you often to see if you need anything. Food and drinks are pretty good as well. I've noticed that they keep adding games to the billiards area and wonder if they are trying to shift towards a local dave and busters feel but that's speculation. I have not been here on weekends so cannot comment on their night life but the lounge when you first walk-in seems like it can accommodate a large crowd.

We love Ha-Weeda! Welcoming place with excellent food and beverages -- and the vibes

Amazing service here always! Karlene always takes care of me and makes me feel comfortable and safe! The food here is bomb! Margaritas are always on point! I have been coming here for a long time now and I love it. Thank you, Haweeda!

My job had a happy hour for the teachers after a hard week of state testing. This location was wonderful and spacious. The service was on point. Would recommend for anyone looking to accommodate a large group.

I drive by this place from work every day and finally decided to stop in for happy hour. I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. This place has so much potential! It's very spacious, offers billiards, dance floor, games, tons of seating areas to hang with friends, and great drinks and bar food. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because bartenders are not as responsive as I would like because it takes time to flag someone down even though it's not that packed. Besides that, loved the sp

Best place to play pool in Brooklyn. Beer selection is very impressive. Arleta provided us exceptional service!

The place still smelt like new?? I love the ambience. The pool tables' pockets-- so tight! But, very challenging ?????They have 3 billiard tables on the far end of the pool hall. The bar is like an island: it's in the middle of them all! There's basketball arcades, punch (if you can't make the ball--just throw a punch on the punchers!??? I love their hamburger with bacon?? There was hockey table, foosball, and ping pong table

Great place, Very chill during the week. Seems to get more busy during the weekend like any other good place. Staff is very attentive. Get their pi?a coladas, frozen margaritas in my opinion are not work it. But that's just my taste. Will come back definitely and recommend to friends.

It's a good time! Comfy pool hall with a lounge club and decent drink prices with a kickazz dj!

Service was great up until the point of closing the tab and paying the bill. Long haired brunette server felt the need to practically jump on my back assuming we weren't going to pay the bill and followed me everywhere. Also, three separate bills for food, drinks and billiard? A tad excessive. Food was yummy and place was vibrant and clean.

Ha-weeds is a hidden gem here in sunset park. Stop by to play pool, air hockey, table tennis, ski ball and more. Big open space to relax with your friends and have drink and food to eat. I'm definitely coming back.

Games , good music, dance floor, lots of people tables and spacious 8/12/23

Food taste good but served cold!!

Nice chill atmosphere, good music. Spacious. Low key

Awesome place to play pool, chill at the bar or dance to music

Great spot! We stop by every time we're in Industry City. Great food, fun music, and great service!

As far as BK pool rooms go, this is a decent one. They redesigned the place and have done a good job keeping the pool tables and club/bar area more separate.

Amazing !!! Great Place. They have Billiard tables in tip top shape. Food is Delicious and live DJ on weekends. Plenty of space to dance and have a Good Time !!!

My experience here was very delightful, very spacious and welcoming, and for the most part, the employees were very professional and courteous, especially Shaday, she attended to our every need and was such a sweetheart. She made our night even more enjoyable! I will definitely come back and have already told my friends that are coming down from Canada about this place! Again Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

This PLACE IS AWESOOOME!!!! Me and the family were staying at a nearby hotel for a wedding. A friend was checking out nearby bars where we could watch some sports and relax with our group. This place exceeded our expectations. Drinks were good, the food was good, and the music was good, and the pool hall,,,, awesome. From the outside, you would have never guessed what you were walking into. The staff, including the security was really cool. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cool spo

Went with family to watch the football games, we had a great time playing the amusement games ,wings were really good ,big screen TVs, enjoy the beer towers

Carlene(?) was awesome! The DJ was awesome The wings were awesome lol. My friends and I love this spot and we come every other Saturday because it's such a vibe!

I love this place! They have "Play Pool For Free" for ladies from 5pm - 10pm and 7 days a week! Who can beat that!!!... They have 3 snooker tables with different sizes, "small, medium, large". They have an Island bar, a nice music, a mini-stage I called the dance floor, complete with colorful disco ball. This place is one of the places we play pool leagues to, on Sundays . I love the ambiance of this place. ?? They keep their ladies room clean, I can't say the same with their men's room--i never gone the

I really enjoyed myself and so did my people. Security was very informative. He showed us around and gave us the layout. Shaday was very polite and her character is beautiful. The bartenders did a great job in handling the crowd. And the young man who was serving the food was fast and efficient. We will be back soon with more people and we're actually going to plan a few parties in the near future. Thanks for the great time.

I'm a regular customer at haweeda tavern I really enjoy the atmosphere there. The staff is awesome the food is great. The dj plays music for all groups of people from Latin house reggae hip hop club? The security is A-1 very professional?.I speak highly of HAWEEDA Tavern to friends and co-worker and many of them have been there and everyone was pleased?????????????????????

Tables are top quality, bar is well stocked, food is well made and fairly priced and the place is overall extremely spacious with an arcade section and an outdoor cafeteria table style section so there's a bit of everything but the main focus is obviously billiards. Tournaments are held there regularly and the staff is extremely friendly. I love this place.

Cozy spot with games and a very nice updated section where you can sit down. I really liked the updated look it has kind of a Gothic old time classy section with the red couches.

Great food, drinks, staff, and very clean. Pool tables are in excellent condition and the staff would wipe them down after each use. Everyone was very helpful and their menu is very inclusive for those with dietary restrictions. Will absolutely return and recommend this place to others.

Went for the first time with my man and had an amazing time and the bar guy was super nice coming again for sure ???? loved the photobooth as well

Love this hidden spot! Def a great place to sit back chill get your play or dance on. Every time I've gone it's been a really fun night! The staff is awesome...so def makes it a much better place to be for a fun night!

My first time coming to Ha-weeda Tavern was such a fun experience with the games and bartenders that they have working who give exceptional service. When my friends and I went the first time it was Raul the bartender who had served us. The drinks he made were honestly amazing that were not too sweet but just right to my liking. You can never go wrong with a place like this! I loved the service, the ambience and games. I'd definitely recommend this place!

I really enjoy myself everytime I go to play pool. They have a very nice area where you can sit and eat and Hava a cool bar for drinks. Go and have a great time !

First time here and will definitely be back. An unexpected stop on a Friday after work for some delicious drinks. Had some nice conversation with Arleta behind the bar, she made our drinks to perfection. Plenty of arcade games for all to enjoy. Definitely recommend it.

Two stars for the cake policy. I came to this place to celebrate a birthday and we brought a cake. The waitress/bartender saw the cake and said that I need to show her the receipt of the cake or I wont be able to have the cake in Ha-Weeda. We understand that there is a serving fee and we are ok paying for it, she said that still the receipt is necessary. Long story short our intention was to have a nice evening so we needed to email them the credit card transaction, showing the cake purchase. SERIOUSLY!!!

Cool spot to have a couple drinks, play some games and most importantly shoot some pool! This is a great spot for big groups or if you just want to sit at the bar and chat. Can't wait to come back!

Very spacious, lots of pool tables, arcade games and tons of seating. This would be a fun place to bring a big group. A little out of the way from the train, but they make up for it with really good mixed drinks/happy hour deals.

The staff here are friendly and helpful Nestor the bartender who had served us is Great place to come and hang out and they have a wide range of drinks, Including beer towers! Will definitely come back again was such a fun experience with the games that they have working who give exceptional service.

Other than the security guard, no one made us feel welcomed. The bartender with glasses paid us no mind. What kind of bartender doesn't make drink recommendations or brings me a beer, sees an empty bottle and doesn't bring a refill. Instead dumps the empty bottle and ignored I existed..... so I'm just content sitting at a bar empty handed?? I really hoped the positive reviews I read were spot on but after last night, never going back.

It was a rainy Tuesday night but the place still was very active. The tacos were great & the bar tender was friendly & cool. I had fun on a rainy December night can't wait to see it in the summer.

Great place to play pool and enjoy with friends. The pool tables are in great condition, new! They have other arcade games, like air hockey, foosball, basketball, and skeeball (all in great condition). We didn't eat at the restaurant section but did try the their bar menu Barbacoa Beef Nachos, which was amazing, refreshing (great for a summer dish) and big enough as a snack for 4. They seem to have a full bar, beer tubes/tower and beer bucket options. The beer bucket was on average price with other places I

Interesting spot. Drinks were strong, food was not bad. It also was not GREAT, it fell somewhere in the middle for bar food. Venue is HUGE, there is a lot going on, take this how you wish. It could be overstimulating for some, or some might say there was plenty to keep entertained.

The staff here are friendly and helpful. Came here yesterday and this is Great place to come and hang out. The wings were excellent and they have a wide range of drinks, Including beer towers! Will definitely come back again.

I went out to neet an old friend at this place. I was dying to have a reason to check it out being that it's relatively new. I'm glad to say it feels nice and clean! Sanitizer is available and visible, restrooms are nice and clean which was oh so greatly appreciated. The bartender was very polite and checked in on us just enough to be helpful but not annoying, which I liked. They have a nice air hockey table which I loved! It was pretty w. orange LEDs that made my nails look like they were glowing, so cool

Love this place!! The staff is great, the food is always on point, and the environment is great for all occasions. stop by for a drink or spend the afternoon; you're going to have a great time no matter the day or time!

Amazing spot!! The space itself was great! Could easily bring a group of friends here. Service was top notch!!! Went here with a few friends Got food, drinks and got to play Billiards and some table games!! Would definitely be coming back again Thank you Ha-Weeda!

Carlene has always been AMAZING!!! Very professional, personable and best at what she does. The hot crispy chicken sammy was bomb! Crispy cauliflower with curry sauce, crispy Brussels Sprout with hot honey!

Great place to shoot pool. Tables are in great shape, atmosphere is cool and mellow. Full bar as well. Prices are a touch high and the ping pong table can be super annoying, but beyond that a great place.

We went on March 25th, and it was their second anniversary. We went, everyone was cool, fun, and the vibe was great. They did a performance, and the performers were awesome ??

Nice chill spot not crowded there was a d.j playing music. pool tables. Full bar nice chill vibe

This place is great to hang out with my families and friends. The location is easy to find parking all over. This place reminds me of places that I used to go to when I was a kid. Workers are friendly and very helpful. It's a good place to rest and enjoy the entertainment.

amazing diamond tables, great staff and great drinks, really fun spot just the food is consistently horrible, please invest in a better kitchen, do yourself a favor and do not order food when you go here, i was served some wings that should be illegal to serve, completely inedible super old wings, whatever sauce that was on my wings was just overcome with the taste of old crunchy wings

This space is huge and absolutely incredible. We came in on the Fourth of July and it was empty but I know this place is usually it.

Place is awesome. From the security to the bar. Great atmosphere and good food. Spacious and genuinely great vibes. I'm definitely going to be a regular here

Got a Groupon, they said it wasn't good for fridays even though there's no fine print stating that. They flat out refused to honor it. Cool. Traveled out of our way specifically for the Groupon only to be told to screw off.

It is a great place hang out. The food and drinks were very good. The staff were extremely nice. Will come back again soon.

The place it's self is amazing but they need a new bartender the guy behind made it seem like he was doing me a favor getting drinks for me first time I approached him he said to give him a few he had to used the bathroom (no biggie we are human and have out needs cool) 2nd round my friend went and he was waiting for a while even his co worker told him that he was waiting while other people would just jump and ask for the drinks constantly he kept on telling him hold on like dude you see him waiting like re

I cannot believe a bucket of 5 beers is $43 and when I asked as a customer you're suppose to make me feel welcomed mention the happy hr or something, and the simple fact that in there walls there are drawings of there prices, which were different then what was I told.... never coming again they need to work on there staff and there prices...

My first visit, but will visit again! Nice atmosphere, good music, good food, security was great! Friendly, nice, professional, accommodating. They are also wheelchair accessible.

This place is nice, atmosphere is great, very clean and good music, there are very pricy though in my opinion

Clean with really good food and even better tables. They really did a good job here. Staff is also very sweet and helpful. Only thing is a little pricy. Support this business!

Great place. pool tables. skee ball shooting games bar food. awesome hole in the wall type spot in a huge underground space.

Just don't go there if you're under 26. I got hassled on everything and anything, even had to have my friend come up pay for our billiard balls because they wouldn't take my card, which the bar was happy to take as payment.. And then the pool ball attendants took my the beer that I paid for with that card and wouldn't give it back. Just don't go there, it's more work than it's worth

Great place to Play pool ?? Super chill vibes They have a bar, some arcade games and a dance floor if you're into that 4 stars bc the drinks are waaay too strong but that might be a plus if you don't mind it

Randomly stopped here with my boyfriend from industry city and was in awe from the ambiance and service. The drinks are amazing especially the pi?a coladas. Highly recommend!

Love this place! Great for a group, really welcoming atmosphere for beginners and interesting beer selection!

The staff was very friendly except for the lady on the entrance to the pool tables she seemed like she didn't like her job but the rest of them was very friendly and very polite very nice place to spend your time with friends or your significant other

Great food but their $17 "15oz" margaritas were served in 10oz cups. Bartenders actually proved they were not 15oz.

Great spot to shoot pool have a drink and even play videogames! Happy Hour is daily! Good assortment of beers and food was on point!

Clean, organized and staff is friendly!

Nice place to hang out with mate and friends. DECOR AND GAMES AND POOL AND TVS AND EVEN A DANCE FLOOR. I ORDERED THE MEATLESS NACHOS AND MY MAN ORDERED THE WINGS AND IT WASNT BAD AT ALL. HAPPY HOUR DEINKS WERE TASTY. IF YPU NEED SOMETHING STRONG THEN YOU CAN OPT FOR THE TOP SHELF DRINKS. WE DIDNT GET A CHANCE TO TRY AFTER HAVING 3 HAPPY HOUR MARGARITAS. THE ONLY NEGATIVE IS THAT WE WAITER 10 + MINUTES TO BE SERVICED AT THE BAR, SIMPLY BECAUSE NO ONE NOTICED WE DIDNT ORDER A THING.

Drinks a bit over priced , but the food was good specifically the wings and fries . Bartender didn't seem thrilled to be working that night so had a uninviting attitude

Would have gave it 5 stars but unfortunately the bartender Aletta was a real crabby patty. Do not tend the bar if you can't make the customers happy.

I had food here and the wings wasnt even cook right and the mozzarella rings was cold. Fries was half it was burn.

Great drinks and atmosphere! Bartender was super friendly and made delicious drinks. Definitely will be back

Just discovering this place and it seems to be a wonderful setting for a celebration or just a fun meal with friends. Can't wait to come back more often!

wonderful place , looks great and the staff is wonderful, even the security was pleasant. definitely bringing my crew their to show off

Beautiful definitely coming back with wifey. We enjoyed the music ?????? awesome ?? job guys.

Place is great, just wish there was more people there, I would hate to see them close down

Highly recommend, I always take my friends here

This place is very nice, pool tables are awesome and the drinks are good. Nice chill vibes here.

Great experience , clean organized , great Atmosphere , not crowded ,and they ask for I'd and COVID vaccine with made me feel comfortable

First time here & will def come again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Are pool tables in arcades still good in this modern age?

Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
