We read the reviews and expected to play pool for free, but they had got new tables, which are not free any more. It's 75cents/game. They have cheap beer, but that's about it. Once again, no free pool any more!

Pros: Cheap beer

Cons: Very mellow, Dingy

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

If you watch sex in the city, can't tell snooker from eight ball, and must have a chop chop salad with your wine then stay away from the Zoo. This is a tavern. Beer only, no food, and it has not been updated since well.....it opened. But they have $6.50 64oz glass pitchers of PBR all the time. They have games from computer to hard tip darts, shuffleboard, snooker, and several pool tables. In addition the bartender while not overly friendly are nice people who will loan you a cribbage board if you ask nicely. This is a great hangout bar, but not for the gals in Manolo Blahniks, or the guys in their yachting wear. For that head down the hill to Bluewater!

Pros: Cheap Beer, No Covers, Pool & Games

Cons: , No ladies, Very mellow

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Before I actually visited the Zoo, I'd heard it was a biker bar and was a little intimidated. Now that I've actually been there, I think back and laugh hysterically. The servers are friendly, everyone there is super laid back (except in the middle of an intense pool match), and it's nowhere near as expensive as a lot of other bars in the area. When you don't feel like getting all done up for a night on the town, but you're really craving company and a cold one, stop by the Zoo and you'll feel right at home.

Pros: Casual, Friendly, Great People

Cons: Lousy Parking, No Mixed Drinks

Editor's Review

Quirky decor and games make one of Eastlake's oldest establishments an enduring favorite.  See the full editorial review.
