Place is great for a night out. Lots of pool tables and other games (air hockey, foosball, etc). Drinks are relatively cheap and overall fun vibes.

Restaurant with some fantastic food. Pool hall upstairs for hanging out with friends, family. Concert venue; celebration for any important dates, parties. More fun inside this iconic place.

Great place to go with friends and just chill. Play pool and have a few drinks. It costs 20$/hour for the pool at the time of this review.

Definitely a unique space you should check out. Fun on a weeknight, good food and drink selection.

Nice lil bar with a large separate stage in the back for live music! Food was great! Had a great time, and i would return.

Saw Stuck on Planet Earth in the backroom, great atmosphere, band was awesome, had a great time!

The pool hall is awesome! This has been a late night go-to for our industry crew forever. Was there a little earlier this evening, thanks so much to the tall guy behind the bar for keeping up with us! Love the staff and the vibe always:)

Raised the price from 7.50 to 9.00 for our group for drinks because we brang our group of 20-25. Isnt it good we brang people to your dead bar. The waitress had a bad attitude because nobody was buying drinks. Well if you left the price the same they would maybe buy or lower the price. Toronto is expensive and raising the price to even more is ridiculous. Won't be back.

This place was amazing for the History - Worship Tour AP. Great atmosphere to keep the night going after the main event.

Came here for pool. Decently priced but is very dirty and poorly maintained. Found tables were very warped and falling apart. Lots of chicken wing bones and garbage everywhere. Tripped on loose floor tiles so be careful there.

Bad service. We came into the bar and waited for 15 minutes. The bar wasnt that busy, but the service seemed to ignore us.

The food and drink is amazing. They had incredible kothu roti option in their menu. Unfortunately, they removed from the food menu. It was authentic one, hope they get it back.

I recently went there for the first time but was a little confused as to what's the concept. It felt like that they are trying to capture all segments of market. Bar with sports tv in one section, dining in another and live events in another section on the ground floor. First floor is pool section and there was DJ music and bar. Depends on what you want to do here I guess there is something for everyone.

I find its a perfect place for a date. I've been going there since Jr high school and still love it there.

Been here a few times now; even watched Game 4 & 5 for Raptors NBA finals here with some friends. Good drinks and service, nice atmosphere and decent prices to play pool.

Great mac & cheese! Loved the event space at the back. Was able to grab a meal and then watch some musicians.

It worked well for a private function and I did not play pool.the staff were great, the place was clean, and we stayed longer than planned and ordered food too.it got a bit stuffy but there were also many many people there. (to stuff it up) and it was easy enough to step outside for air.

I've enjoyed the Rivoli since 1982. Back then the menus were hand written and changed every day. The quality and the price of the meals have always been amazing. Great service and food but not on linen. I used to go to the music venues too. Time passes but I still love this place. As a pool hall, I am not familiar. Wish I had.

What an awesome place! How have I not been here before! Staff is really friendly, good food. But my favorite part is the events in the backroom! I went to see Asian stand up comedy. Excellent performance, ambience. Crowd! Lots of LGBTQ events and performances. And pool tables upstairs. I am so coming back here!

This place is great on regular days. Their scheduled events such as comedy are fantastic, and the staff downstairs are wonderful. Never go to the pool hall (upstairs) for a special event (i.e. Sports) their entire operation falls apart.

Drinks are reasonable for a downtown bar. Staff are friendly and service is quick. Couldn't ask for more.
01 June 2019 3:09
Great vibes, excellent staff that are very knowledgeable, and, of course, the food is amazing. Nothing complicated, just a bunch of awesome classics.

Called to ask for 12ft snooker table, they said yes, once there it's all pool tables.
Good if you're going with a group of friends, not so much if you wanna seriously play! Way too tight stomping on each other everytime you wanna play a shot. I hate seeing 20 people around each table!
30 April 2019 1:46
Great service, great food. Lighting was a little iffy (staff kept changing it from bright to dark) but otherwise no complaints!
16 April 2019 7:58
They have so many pool tables yet the wait last night was 1 hour. Its a great place to go just dont wanna be waiting that long when i see empty tables not being called for 5 minutes when we were already waiting for over 45 minutes. Great service at the bar and good vibes still.

Great happy hour prices, wish it continued longer though. Good service, cute atmosphere, basic food menu but the MALAY CHICKEN was amazing. Definitely returning!

Go to this place all the time to play pool with friends. Very competitive pricing for pool in the downtown core, especially if you take advantage of happy hour. Some of their tables are admittedly a bit run down, but that's pretty much expected of a public pool hall. Great place to grab a drink and play some pool with friends!

Excellent space. Crisp dinning area and amazing bartenders. There's a venue space in the back with a rustic setting with live music. Reasonably priced food and drinks are also available. Most importantly the crowd for the downtown area is diverse but not abnoxious.

Quick service, not too busy even on a Friday night. Performance room is a good size and wasn't too crowded. I found that the quality of food didn't match the price. Overall, a decent place to come watch a show, but not so great as a restaurant/bar.
29 March 2019 12:36
Good portion sizes, reasonably priced food, cheap drinks for happy hour. The pool hall upstairs is very divey and first come first serve. Gets busy after 8. Looks a lot more run-down than your average pool establishment, but maybe they're going for that atmosphere?
17 March 2019 13:28
Great for a cool chill night. I DON'T recommend the food, its disgusting and overly priced for a grungy bar.
13 March 2019 20:02
It's a clean place and has a lot of character in their upstairs pool area. The only downside would be the lack of attention the initial bartender gave me when I sat down to order as well as the long wait for a pool table upstairs. Their selection of wine is better than their beer selection. Decently priced though. Will have to go back to try the food. Definitely a place to try our and see for yourself to decide.

Another good old school type place with the standards on tap and a comfortable little patio on the west side. Comfortable, casual, good pool scene.
