Scooters Garland

We have been here many times since 2011. We have seen the décor get upgraded (yea!) and the service go downhill (nea!) While I might add the service has never been great, it has seemed to go downhill since we have been going this last year. I want to mention the African American bartender at the back bar is awesome and has been my favorite since I have came here. At the front bar there is a rude lady with brown hair who did not even acknowledge us while we stood there for over ten minutes! This is unacceptable since in my opinion an establishment is open to serve people and make money. She needs to be retrained in customer service! Other than that, while the drinks are not the best, the drinks are cheap and will give you a buzz. We will return but we will go straight to the back bar where we know we will get service!

Great bar. $ 1 pool and $ 4 drinks available even outside of happy hour. Tons of people to hang out with and talk on Friday and Saturday nights. Karaōke going all night. You do have to leave your id at the bar to get a queball and they have more queballs than pool tables. So you might not get a pool table if you get there late on a busy night. But still worth it. A bar where people actually love making friends! (Just dont leave the ball on the table and forget ur id, they’ll charge you like $ ²⁰⁄₂₅ to replace the supposedly stolen ball)

This place is finally remodeling. Great changes are being made. I don’t understand why the bartenders are expected to work in one station because the jiggers and bar keys are chained to the bar, it’s quite inconvenient and honestly embarrassing because both of those bar equipment prices are cheap.
$ 12 pitchers of beer. $ 1 pool if you can find or win a table. And it’s one of the few places left where you can drink a beer and have a cigarette inside.

The bathrooms there are repulsive… My girlfriend drug me in there to show me because I wouldn’t of believed it if she had told me. Just how horrific the bathrooms were. I have never in all my years of living seen a more disgusting pile of toilet paper and shit piled in toilets. You can tell people have been peeing in the sinks… Think the show“Hoarders” X100. It should be condemned. I will absolutely never go back.

great place to get your throat cut

I like Scooters for the most part. The remodeling and the new bathrooms are amazing! The staff has always been friendly and hustled to get my drinks or food. I only had a problem with the food once with an under cooked burger, but they quickly resolved it and I didn’t have to pay for it! It’s a good place to play pool any day of the week. The weekends are where you par-​tiers are and so the drunks come out and fight, but besides that, I like the atmosphere. Oh the DJ plays too much country music. They should mix it up a lot more.

Updating my review. After repeated visits over the course of some months. I have had no complaints.

Scooters has evolved. Restrooms have been Remodeled, added another bar with garage window’s. Brand new pool tables, dart boards. Still have the awesome shop to get your dart and pool supplies. Pool and Dart leagues. Its also one of the only bars in Garland that still allow smoking inside. Its wide open spaces with pool tables everywhere. They have 3 DJ’s Wednesday– Saturday, they have a monthly contest. Last month they had a Daisy Duke Contest to say Goodbye Summertime, lol. This month its a lip syncing contest and prizes will be given to contestant’s. I almost tried everything on their menu over the last year. Its good to me, huge plates of nachos and fries. The fried mushrooms have to be my favorite. The bartender’s know what their doing. No complaints there. Its definitely a place I recommend going.

Went there a couple of times and didn’t like it. I’m an over tipping bar fly… so if I’m turned off by staff service (drunk girl serving me wrong beer etc.) you can pretty much bet I won’t be back.
I really wanted to find a new neighborhood hangout but this place is too dingy and weird. Another gripe I had was I paid the d.j. 5 $ to play a song but he never did. If they don’t want my cash then I’ll just go somewhere else.

Hole in the wall bar. Had a drunk ass bartender when I got there. And she pointed out that I didn’t tip here to the rest of the bar. I’m sorry if I don’t wanna tip a drunk bartender. Be a little more professional next time. Thank you.

When I come into town to visit I always enjoy this place! The staff is friendly, the beer is cold, and the pool is cheap! I’ve never been very good at pool so playing a dollar per game is a deal. The karaōke is a blast! They have a ton of music to choose from and who Dosent love karaōke?! I’ll be coming back any time I’m in town from Austin!

It has a nice environment and the staff is great .The owner is super nice and goes out of his way to say hi to everyone that comes in. They are starting to have different entertainment which is super cool. Has darts, pool, and Texas Holdem. Kareoke if that’s your thing. I come in every week and the crowd is really growing. It’s a nice diverse crowd with something for everyone. The food is great especially the pizza which you can get a large for 11 $ .I even bring my kids there for lunch. all in all cool spot.

This is one of your regular, run of the mill, smokey pool hall, dive, neighborhood bars and not much else.
I sat down at the bar and was greeted pretty quickly by the female bartender who got me the beer I required pretty quickly but that was it, no introduction, no conversation. They were fairly busy being a Friday night.
After I drank my first beer I waited not too long before another bartender asked if I wanted another. Friendly enough, but again, no introduction, didn’t speak to me while she was right in front of me.
The guy who was behind the bar spoke to me more then the two female bartenders. :/​
There are pool tables, plenty of darts. I saw a few people digging into some food but I didn’t taste it.
This place is definitely a locals place but if you’re in the area and in need of a cold beverage, you’ll find one at Scooters. I left since the awful karaōke started up.

The bouncers think it’s ok to pull beers out of your mouth whether you’ve paid or not. If you’re there around 2am, beware. At 2, the bouncers are in charge… Oh and his name is James.

If your looking for a hole in the wall dive bar with pool, karaōke, and cold beer, this is your place. The locals hang out here. Expect local flavor, sagging pants on the guys, and tattoos on the girls. Get there early if you want a pool table, and bring your own cue. Their cues have been well worn by the hundreds of folks who spend hours there chasing balls around the table. Expect offers for friendly games. Learn the house rules. ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ means you split the price of the dollar vending machine tables. Combinations are allowed off any ball, including the 8– ball. It’s all good fun, and it’s loud when great and awful shots are made. The karaōke is so-​so like anywhere. But, there are some kids with talent that are entertaining. You’ll smell like smoke when you leave, but hey, it’s a pool hall/​bar. Get over it.

Stepped into this place after bowling down the street after someone suggested it for pool. Honestly, right off the bat I was in love with the place. It’s not a stuffy place uptown charm, but it’s a large bar with plenty to do, a friendly staff and smoking is allowed. Pool, darts, dance floor, beer pong table, karaōke, poker, etc. I have no idea if they served food, but it looked like they might have a kitchen in the back, so that’s something I’ll investigate next time I go.
I didn’t count them, but they have about one million $ 1 pool tables, so there was no wait to play. The bartenders were incredibly friendly, the waitresses checked on us fairly often, and the beer was as cold as it could be. Our pool table was a little out of whack and kept eating our quarters, but the waitress had no problem coming over and fixing us up as soon as she could, so it didn’t matter. And yes, eventually we did switch tables.
THEN, out of nowhere, the bartender yells out «Anyone wanna play beer pong?!», to which my friend and I replied… well, just assume we said yes. For $ 8 a pitcher, we were in the game. Turns out we were playing the manager of the bar in his girlfriend, both very nice people, and the manager informed us that they are going to start having beer pong tournaments for $ 6 a pitcher on Sundays. So needless to say, I’m now going to work on becoming a regular here. Love it.
