Reviews Summary

Overall, this pool hall receives mixed but generally positive feedback. Many praise the friendly staff, well-maintained tables, and relaxed atmosphere, with several highlighting excellent service from specific employees. The unlimited pool option and reasonable drink prices are appreciated. However, some criticize inconsistent enforcement of rules, rude behavior from certain staff members, and occasional issues with table quality or slow service.

Customer Reviews

Upon walking in, the bartender explained everything and was very welcoming. The bald guy (seemed like the manager, sorry never got your name) was extremely hospitable and kind. Made sure everything we needed was taken care of, and the pool tables were in good condition. The vibes were nice (TouchTunes just a heads up), and would come back if I'm in the area for sure!

Loveeeee Slick Willie's! Brent, the manager, is such a kind and personable guy and the atmosphere is either lively and exciting or nonchalant and cozy depending on the day and time you stop by. They have great staff on hand and everything is always clean/in good condition. The only downside (in my opinion) is leaving with your clothes smelling strongly of cigarette smoke but that's sorta to be expected. Would highly recommend!

I enjoy a good pool hall with plenty of space to play and well-maintained tables/equipment. Even kids can come here and play/learn, which is nice. Full, regulation-sized tables make it a find as many other "pool halls" in Google's search results only have coin-op bar tables.

I love Slick Willie's. Big tables, reasonably priced. Good service, plenty of seating. A place for people looking to play pool first more than socialize which is more my style. And Essence the bartender is wonderful. Only issues I have are the balls are old and dirty, And there are very few bridges to be found.

The atmosphere and staff are wonderful. The tables play true and food offerings are better than you'd expect.

Had a fun time...there are a ton of pool tables, good vibes, not usually too busy when I go. Staff was friendly and the music was decent. The ice hockey table though is awful ??. Will come again.

I was there last night and this guy called SLANT I think the taller white dude was so disrespectful I had my last sip in my hand and I was talking to someone he just came and thru the drink out of my hand while other people next to me still drinking He didn't say anything to them it was past 2 I think 02:02 am he was even RACIST to me and asking me if I ever been to a bar in my country if any authority form this bar reading this kindly check the camera for march 15 around 2 am And see how he reacted to me j

Very chill pool hall / bar ! Their drink prices and price for a table is decent. Many pool tables . Very friendly staff too! They have tables on opposite side also

My 13 year old boy, and myself started going here like every Saturday it's really laid back. Good place to chill out, and shoot some pool. The staff is on point as well. ??

Every time I go to slick?s the bald manager is always coming up with new stipulation?s, I try to give it a chance every time I go but he always has something negative to be said.

Not very good ventilation for the cigarette smokers women?s bathroom currently looks like this .! April 5th 9:01 pm

Fun place to take my teen boys. It is however probably the most expensive place to play pool.

Clean, smells good, quality tables, wheelchair and event friendly.

While I have had one bad experience there and a couple of the night shift employees still display disdain for minorities and don't even offer service. The management here has taken a leadership role and made it an enjoyable experience. Clearly I am still a customer and will continue to come. It's a friendly atmosphere and an almost "Cheer's" like vibe. You get to know people and they know you. I recommend it.

Nice pool hall. Clean and plenty of tables. Staff is very freindly and helpful.

I come here all the time, I've come here since I was 15 years old. Today I came, had four beers, and was told I could only drink water by Chelsea, via Karen?s instruction. I'm awaiting a call but I was told to come in on Saturday. I've been drinking water for three hours waiting to see this ?Karen?. Starting to believe she's just another ?Karen? to point the blame at. I will update. Posted is ?Chelsea?. Awaiting the Karen.

Plenty of pool tables and Mario one of the bartenders is awesome very helpful with drink selection and quick to get you a drink he always made sure we had another drink coming before we were completely out

Kaalen is amazing! Her customer service skills and efficiency should be recognized! She was friendly and sweet and funny for sure. I never want another server when I come to Slick Willie?s. She deserves a raise and a million gold stars! She recommended a drink I absolutely loved and was very personable to each guest she had, I love her!

Came in one night with a friend was at the bar continuously calling for bartenders that were socializing with friends to the point a man that was at the door got our second rounds of drinks . I paid did not tip i bartend and I would never so of course I didn't tip . I get an extra charge on my card for ten more dollars have been reaching out to manager to only be told she is not in until after 6pm no luck . I tried to give them the opportunity to take the tip off I did not put on they won't so I will just g

Recently started playing pool and the staff has been great the couple of times we been. One time the bar tender even offer to share his takeout lol. The music that automatically plays is not so good but you can scan and play your choice. It most likely cost. Also still reasonable price to play and for drinks

The bartenders and cocktail waitress were both attractive, attentive and could hold conversation which is a plus in that industry. Drinks are decently priced for the economy, wish they served food. Chill atmosphere tho ????????

It's a bar, it's busy, and it's smokey. Their pool tables are on the older side, but still fine to play on. If you're into the smokey bar scene, there's nothing wrong with this place. They also had really good service and attentive staff.

best pool hall. waitresses are literal angels.

Taking Slick Willies down to 3 stars. Plenty of 8' tables, but they are not maintained. Almost every table has the cloth coming loose at the spline. Couple this with the highest cost in town and it hampers the playing experience. I still love the staff though.

Bartender was very nice along with the waitresses. We never had to wait for a drink or go to the bar because we couldn't find a waitress. They were always on top of it. All the tables looked to be in good shape. Plenty of tables and none of those little coin opp tables, these were all 9 foot tables. Will definitely go back

Brent was very polite and welcoming Cameron was an great server Hayley and kenzie kept my drinks coming and made just like I like them and Kennady I just love her she made me feel really comfortable if I could I would love to come see her every weekend thank you for the amazing service will be back

I love this place it's clean and pool tables are well maintained, servers at the bar are very nice too it's a good spot to spend a night out with the fellas

A ?Thank You for Your Service? would have been nice while turning away two disabled veterans. The woman we had to deal with at the door was extremely callous and rude. We understood the issue with my husband?s expired ID, but when we pressed further to understand a ?family? pool hall?s policies, we were told that he couldn't even enter during family hours, while there are children in the building! It was honestly comical. He's been there five times since getting home a few weeks ago and even been served dri

A couple of my friends and I have always come here. As of recently it has dramatically gone down hill in more ways than one. First of all, we had never been charged for refills, and one night, out of the blue, we were charged for each drink individually without being notified. We had been charged over 13.00 dollars in drinks and when we informed them that we have never been charged before, they placed the blame on us saying we should understand because it's a business. Granted that does make sense, however

Awesome ??atmosphere and very nice staff. Attentive to your wants. I love ??going there you feel safe and comfortable ??which is important to me especially when you see kids there as well. Great job guys we will be back on a regular basis ??.

I absolutely love playing pool and I can be pretty particular about the places I'll go. This place was almost like a hidden gem for the area. It honestly doesn't look like much from the outside and the parking lot needs work. But you'll be pleasantly surprised once you get inside. Their tables are good to play on, the rails aren't dead, the felt's in good shape, I've never had to wait for a table here or been crowded or bothered while playing, and they keep it clean. Plenty of tables, plenty of space, accep

Great atmosphere , beautiful waitresses, friendly bartenders, perfect pool tabled

I have been going here for about 6 years and I absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE! I would recommend this place 100 times over!

Very clean, pool tables were in good shape and the bartender was super friendly. There were a couple families playing together. I would definitely go back. Only minus is no food or snacks but they said you were welcome to have something delivered.

I normally love this place, but if the tall bald guy, the manager, is making drinks don't waste your time. Waitresses there are always awesome and attentive tho!

Kennedy ,who was my server for the night, was awesome! She was very mindful of the customers and kept checking with us to see if we needed something.

Worse place ever! Lady in the front is very rude! She has a short cut very(KAREN) like and it's really thin! She got mad because I didn't want her making my drinks, while she's sniffling all night and constantly whipping her nose! She proceeded to approach me! Very rudely and told me if I didn't want her making my drinks to leave!She then told the others servers not to serve or talk to me or my husband so we eventually left. She needs to be fired! She always looks high in the clouds and not very clean looki

It's a smoky pool hall with cheap beers and cheap pool. It's fun. The waitress we get each time (I wish I wasn't so bad with names) is so sweet and friendly. She remembers drinks we like and chats with us when she can.

Went here with my boyfriend and I have an expired license with a new one on the way. Due to the fact I'm pregnant I was never planning to drink any alcohol and I believed that this was a family inclusive place they would not let me stay on the premises due to my expired ID. I went here to see some friends I haven't seen in years and wasn't able to even talk to them for more than 3 minutes. Very disappointed.

We entered slick Willie's at 745 hoping to play a few games of pool. As we entered we where stopped at the door and asked for ID . My fiance only had one form of ID and we where told that we cannot play pool because his ID is not valid. We explained that we where not interested in having any drinks just playing pool. The manager KAREN still would not allow us. The website clearly states that all ages are allowed before 9pm so this should not have been an issue. My fiance tried to explain his situation to KA

$7 for unlimited pool per person. good beer and alcohol selection. pool tables are always well maintained and the staff is great. all around great place for a chill night out with friends or a cool little spot for a date.

The service was great. Waitresses were always checking up on us. There were plenty of tables to choose from but thats not always the case and they play all kinds of genres of music not just country or pop. The place is waaay cleaner than Chester's and everything is up to date. We loved it there.

Ok this place is fair on pricing but needs to have better rules posted for minors that are with parents. The rule is a parent can accompany a minor child into the place I think that should be good enough now the minor needs an id? Why? When the parent is there with the child. The parent is responsible for the child not the establishment so I feel there was a little unfairness to consumers.

Very good atmosphere. If your a smoker, you will like this place. Will let you bring in food if they are not serving food from their kitchen. Do not buy a DRINK though. They will not allow them.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Workers were EXTREMELY rude. Mario to be exact. Staff is disrespectful. This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. Waiting list was extremely long and the communication skills of the staff and owner were very poor. We were left waiting without any checking in on us for and hour and 15 minutes. Our food was cold. The list goes on and on. 0/10 experience. Do NOT bring your family/ friends here.

I have been going here since 1998...I am a regular there and the staff works hard and is enjoyable. For those reviewers who complain about Karon giving them problems over their ID etc....guess what..she's known me 20 years and still requires an ID when I walk through the door. So, for those of you trying to be petty about getting ID'd.... bring your LEGAL ID in and you won't get turned away. It's the law and it's common sense. As for supposed "employees" posting up about how bad it is... that's a bogus post

Love it. I live in Guthrie and every once in a while, I drive to Enid and pick up my brother and drive back to Oklahoma city to Slick Willie's for a few hours and then I take him back to Enid and go home to Guthrie. About 300 miles all together. It is definitely worth it. Staff is always friendly and we have a great time. It is the only time we get to spend with each other.

Plenty of pool tables and the staff was friendly. $14 for unlimited play was pretty decent as well. However we ordered two sodas. And got refills. The refills ARE NOT FREE!! That was a huge negative. Especially since I was unaware. The sodas were way more than the pool. Lesson learned I guess. Thats what I get for not drinking whisky.

Our waitress, Kennedy, was phenomenal!

It's a good place for families. Lots of tables. 3 bar boxes and the rest 8 ft tables. They have probably 17 our 18 tables. No food. Smoking. Clean.

If you want to listed to 80s and 90s heavy metal this is the place for you. The staff kept playing awful songs and they were picking the fast pass songs so no other person spending money in the bar could choose the music. Finally not a heavy metal song came on and they turned the juke box way down after turning it up and up and up on Pantera and Metallica. Come on people that music hasn't been cool for over 30 years. Told the wait staff why we were leaving and she agreed that the music was trash and went on

If you don't like cigarette smoke this isn't the place for you. I reeked of it when I left. Also customer service is not up to par. Staff is friendly but you often have to initiate the conversation to get serviced. They seem to be enjoying one another's company than serving.

I never have to worry about getting a table here. The bartender's are wonderful too. Great place to bring the kids for some cheap fun. $5.50 per hour. Can't beat it

Sometimes they have to be hard asses but it's expected when they have to deal with under ages and alcohol. However each member of the team is extremely helpful and open if you are friendly. They love regulars and will always take care of you well.

Wonderful experience! And fantastic bartender the night we went!

Fantastic place to play pool. Friendly, efficient staff. I was super disappointed that there was smoking. I think they should remove the word ?family?. It was my impression that at one time there was no smoking. Other than that perception, I would certainly go there again....I just can't bring my ?family?.

The drinks were good the staff was very nice. The only problem I had was that it was extremely smokey. They have poor ventilation. I left there smelling like an astray.

Waitress was slow, had to wait for awhile to get more drinks, but she was definately nice. No food or snack menu whatsoever. Plenty of pooltables and in very good condition. Majority of the Pool Cues were warped.

Walked in and no one had masks on but me and my boyfriend were made to go back out to our vehicle for a mask, when right after us a couple came in no mask and we're able to walk right through. Came in and whatever she is Karen stared at my boyfriends ID for 2 solid 2 minutes and then proceeded to look at mine while telling the waitress Chelsea I was a minor (I'm 20). We were told we could play at any table on unlimited so we went around the corner to distance ourselves from the other tables so there was no

Great prices fir drinks. Single player at $7 an hour or 14 fir full table with friends

Employees had their masks down below their chin or not on at all including server. They didn't sanitize after each use. Server was nice and helpful though and drinks were on point...

Been there many times and by happenstance i left my ID at home. They wouldn't let me in! I am 48 with a long gray beard, it's not like i don't look old enough. I don't drink... Went to Chester's and had a blast! Sorry willie's your out!

For being a very busy pool hall, the tables are pretty well maintained. The Adult Beverages were very good. One star lost because our table in the Unlimited section did have a dead spot.

Great place, dont get a clamado tho it wasnt that great but they did try again but wasnt much better. Kinda pricey too

First time going to slick willies. They ID me right when I walk in, then 20 minutes later stood over me & made the whole group feel uncomfortable while trying to recheck my ID not only was she not 6 ft away from me, Nor was she wearing her mask. Karon was her name. She was the most disrespectful employee I've ever had to come encounter with. I will never step back in that place. I will go to a different pool hall. She completely violated Covid restrictions.

This place was great a time or two, but after my son and I couldn't even purchase a drink all night bc not one time did someone try to serve us! And beware the old lady at the gate, she will demean you every chance she gets! Watch out for her! You know I get it you gotta have an ID.......when you wan m Jenn msi t to drink or something like that.....and by all means absolutely. But if you are 36, not drinking, there to play pool with my husband and son, have an expired DL that shows my picture and my actual

Excellent environment, wonderful service. Well priced and makes a great destination for pool, booze, and food. Great for when you get off work and just want to drink a beer with someone and play some pool.

Have been coming here since I was a teen. Good news they finally got the tables refelted. Yeah, they got rid of unlimited except for on Sundays and Mondays. But, I love the wait staff. They are nice and friendly.

Nice place to play pool. The people who work there are not very friendly. Especially if you are not drinking alcohol. They give dirty looks if you ask for water. You can smoke inside if you like that.

Had fun playing pool and air hockey while on break from our road trip across the country! Tiffany was awesome to us and made us feel very welcome and we had a great time!

Smoking allowed they I.D at the door friendly staff it just takes awhile to get your drink order. Aprox 13.00 / hr. For a pool table good music

This place will always have a special place in my heart!

Walked through the door and waited to show ID like the sign says and the Karen employee barked "we are full" and walked away. She proceeded to kick everyone out and locked the door behind us.Then she made other patrons pay for a mask when herself and her employees were not wearing any. Unacceptable behavior and horrible service towards customers. This is not how business is conducted. Do not come here if you value your money. Zero stars if I could.

Great unlimited pool prices. Very friendly staff. I didn't have to over do my spending there. Lots of tables to choose from and a very mellow crowd makes slick Willie's top in my book

The A/C was broke and my drink was nasty. 1st time visiting the pool hall and it wasn't great at all.

Had fun!! The drinks were awesome. I met a few guys there..too young for me but they are at Slick Willie's! The waitress was awesome!!!

Very relaxing inviting place. Beautiful staff and management always helpful and prompt. Clean establishment.

Immediately upon walking in, ?greeted? by a class A Karen saying ?We're full? with an attitude while we were waiting for ID verification. Then states we cannot wait inside because of Covid, while not even wearing a mask to begin with. She was demanding people without a mask to buy one off her for $1. After kicking people out, she locked the door behind our group and another. The most unprofessional woman I have ever met. Don't even waste your time !!!

We had a great time! Took our teenagers for a night out. They didn't serve food but we were able to have food delivered. We had a great time.

No air-conditioning. Our group ended up going somewhere else. Staff was very nice.

Family friendly environment, also a great spot for a date night with your sweetie! There is smoking and abar but only smoking at bar. Great helpful staff ??

Dangerous!!! We was not there 10 minutes my friend was accused of looking at someone's girlfriend and was threatened. The drunk people beside us started setting on our pool table kissing. When i ask them to get off our table i was threatened. We left immediately. If you want to fight this is the place for you.

Love this place! Been my go to for years now, love the staff and atmosphere!

Level tables, familiar atmosphere, personable staff, stiff drinks, respectful patrons. All you'll need to bring is some pretty company. They'll take care of the rest.

Best pool hall in OKC! I'll even go to say the best in Oklahoma, outstanding bartender, best prices. I had a great time catching up with old coworkers

I loved it I had so much fun playing pool with my family

My table had a little damage but I had a good time,by the way great service

Can smoke cigarettes and get drunk but can't medicate because "it's a family establishment" lol ok most medicated people are chill, most of the drunk people there the night in question were loud and slightly aggressive. Rethink your policies

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.
