Subs are big enough for 2 people. Subs come with frieda and are a pretty good price. $ 5 domestic beers. Good music and plenty of pool tables!

I stumbled upon Tarantula Billiards on Unilocal because it was late at night and we needed to find a cool place in downtown Denver to hang out. Tarantula Billiards was definitely popping and we found ourselves in here for a few hours Saturday night. It was super busy inside but the service was keeping up just fine. The pool tables were pretty busy and we managed to snag a table after waiting 10 – 15 minutes for one to free up. Meanwhile we drank tons of tequila and vodka lemonades in the process. Drink prices were reasonable and it was our friend’s birthday so he did get a free drink from the bartender(very nice of her). The pool hall has plenty of TV screens and bartenders willing to take your order. We ended the night with me tumbling back to the hotel. What is it with me, billiards, and alcohol? I remember like I was 21 again.(Let’s not go there…) Highly recommended and will return!

OMG! THISPLACEISRACIST!!! Went this afternoon with a friend and they wouldn’t serve us! I’m a Caucasian woman and my friend an African American manI There was some tallish, blonde, foreign, woman bartender who told us that she didn’t want us there!(We were not drunk, high or disorderly in any way) Asked for the manager and it was her! AMAZING! Didn’t think you could get away with this stuff today. Guess we could sue, but why bother with so many other places nearby. Just don’t understand the good Unilocal reviews ??? Perhaps written by the Aryan race or rednecks? Look at their photos. There was hardly anyone there. PLEASEDONOTPATRONIZETHISRACISTBAR!!! STAYAWAY! Thanks!

Absolutely love to hangout and have fun with friends at Tarantula! The bartenders are always super friendly and even on busy nights, drinks dont take too long. Pitchers are only 10 $ during happy hour and 12 $ out of happyhour, plus pool is free as long as your buying! If you snackish, I would recommend the bar food too. Its not the best, definately typical bar food, but not horrible. It gets the job done! I would not describe the bar as «dive», but rather a downtown billiards bar.

The drinks are very reasonably priced with a decent selection of beer. Great place to go on week nights since pool is free(they just hold your I.D.) the food isn’t anything special but it’s pretty decent bar food. Overall, nice getaway from the typical 16th street crowd.

Cool little bar(only booze, no kitchen) with free billiards. No real frills here, just a nice kick back of a watering hole for your Monday night degenerates like myself. =) not really, these guys have a good thing going. Prices were a little steep for my taste, but a begger rarely gets to choose. Check it out!

Hey need another. Papi and I decided to go day drinking because he had a rare day off work. I’m still here now, and I have to say, of all the stops we’ve made today the service is amazing, everyone is the most friendly of any of the places we’ve been, and I am beyond impressed. This establishment is severely underrated and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This place looks kinda sketchy and rough from the outside but it’s a great find in downtown Denver. My boyfriend and I decided to grab a drink here before going to the theater, noticed the many pool tables and decided to play a few games while we were at it. As it turned out, games were free with purchase(*before 7)! And the drinks were pretty cheap, so for the price of a beer and a cocktail, we were able to play several rounds of pool. The bartenders were chill and the patrons seemed like a fun mixed crowd.

Great place for a Sunday fun day. Order the wings and T-rex sandwich, you will not be disappointed.

This place is AWESOME and I will continue coming back, but they have some of the worst damn bartenders I have EVER encountered. Ignoring patrons while they take their time making shots or chatting with friends. Desperately needs new bar staff.

Place was awesome. Tons of full sized pool tables, all of the equipment was new and really well maintained. The bar was creatively decorated and had a great beer selection. It has a great laid back vibe. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in town.

Clean dive bar. Pool, foosball, skeball. No food service. Great place to kill a few hours with friends

This place is great when you want to play a game of pool and have a beer. Yeah it’s kind of a dive bar and not everything matches and they don’t really do any upkeep on the place. But you know, the prices match the atmosphere and the bartenders are really good. They’re quick and experienced and get everyone drinks fast. They run specials which is cool, and they definitely don’t underpour. Typical college bar with amazing bartenders.

I find myself at Tarantula quite often. It’s a great spot, while«dive bar» is probably apt, I hesitate to use it because it carries a negative connotation. The price of both drinks and billiards are reasonable, the bartenders are simply awesome, and the crowd is always chill. I like it here and am happy to spend my money here. Three cheers for the ladies behind the bar who know their customers and make everyone feel good! Cheers!

Cheap pool is what it is. The tables haven’t been attended to in quite sometime. They have blatant stains, play fast because they haven’t had a new felt in awhile, overall it’s a sad state of affairs. I came in for a visit to see an old homestead and was met with disappointment. The tables aren’t maintained and have clearly been neglected for lengthly periods of time. Felt bad for my bartender, Ashley, lovely lady, just stuck in the mediocrity that is tarantulas sub par attempt up worth a patron’s time. Love the staff, wish they had more to work with.

Okay, so this review may be slightly slanted as I have lived above tarantulas for the past year and it has grown into my regular spot. It is dark, a little dirty, mismatched bar stools, and I don’t think the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom has ever seen paper towels. That being said, it has lots of full size pool tables and the demographic is all sorts of different locals from around the area of all sorts of different ages. The art painted on the walls is awesome and all the different currency taped to the bar is interesting as well. Overall I think the décor is spot on. The real reason I enjoy this bar though is the servers. Maggie, Margerie, and Nicole all do well and are pretty doggone quick and efficient. Given this should be expected where the majority of your clientele drink $ 2PBR and $ 3.50 coors or Budweiser. TIP: come for the pool and avoid the food.

I can easily say I’ve never been more displeased with a pool bar, and as tough as it is to screw up a POOLBAR, Tarantula Bar has managed to do so with considerable ease. 1) The evening here started with pool, and a Crown & Coke. It was was, undoubtedly, the weakest mixed drink of my lifetime. I couldn’t taste a hint of the top-shelf liquor I had just given them NINEBUCKS for. 2) The men’s room became a necessary stop here and it is an abomination. 3) The coup de grâce — A woman in a football jersey took her shirt off(only a bra under there) right in the middle of the bar. TWICE! Any other bar on the planet would have 86’d her in a hurry, but here the bartender just asked her(twice) that she please not do it again. Gross. There are enough decent pool bars around Broadway(Felt) and downtown(Zanzibar) to even give this joint a second thought.

Finally dropped by Tarantulas after their move. I was NOT a fan of their previous location, but I definitely dig their new space. It’s big and wide open, lots of exposed brick with high ceilings, and of course, plenty of pool tables. The group I was with… well let’s just say it was easily the most embarrassing pool game I’ve ever been a part of, and I didn’t help matters at all. The girl working the door definitely had her share of laughs. Servers were fine, I only had water so I can’t make any judgment on drinks, but my playing partners were all satisfied. It’s definitely a much better space than the old location. It seems like a super fun hangout with lots of interesting folk. I’m excited to go back and continue to be incredibly terrible at pool!
