Sportstown

Ive been coming here for a while now and I absolutely love it!! See back in my bachelor days what I would do is go to an event right next door called Tasty Tuesday. I would get some food from there while on my dates and get to know them better. From there I would take them to Sportstown to see how competitive and fun they were. Let me tell yall, this place was the make it or break it point for a lot of them lmao. With their great bartenders we are quickly able to get drinks and start the games. I'm a gentleman so the lady always chooses the first game. With so many games to choose from and the dope, chill vibe; it's so easy to loose track of time while having fun. All in all it's an amazing Dive bar in the heart of Milk District, where you can come to play pool, ping pong, arcade games and more. Full service bar with a variety of cans and bottles. They also serve your typical bar food. You also gotta love a place with a jukebox!! Definitely a place worth checking out!

Bar has a very nice dive feel, great selection of drinks and good price too. Lots of games such as pool, arcade style basketball, and darts. Music was also on point. Definitely come check this place out.

Love the adult gameroom idea. Pool, darts, arcade games, and places to play their card and board games. I wish they served actually liquor though that's why the 4 stars. We came on a crowded night and uncrowded day enjoyed both atmospheres.

Very nice place with plenty options for entertainment. This place offers pool tables, ping pong and hooping game for a reasonable price. They have plenty board games for free. As well as also having a few arcade games. For drinks they have beer , wine and ciders. They don't have liquor. They also have a few quick bites menu. The music was a good mix. Everyone was having a good time.

Finally it isn't the staff, but on several nights I've been disrespected and tonight was my birthday night and I had somebody come over to my dart section from the pool area disrespecting me as well as continuing it outside and there is no security around at all... I've always been very respectful and minded my own business and kept to myself but this has gone on a few times now so I'm just going to leave this message here for everyone to know... Be safe out here people are looking for trouble and they come here with a lot of negative energy, so be careful... I'm not going to be disrespected anymore out here so it's going to reflect poorly on your venue rating and I hope you have better security for the future because that was absolutely ridiculous and I'm done with it... The darts are only somewhat maintained and there's only one working board that has remote games 🎯 The online cricket games are four quarters but I'm not going to put in one ever again nor even bother playing pool because why would I pay money to have problems... No thanks This is a problem waiting to happen ... The parking is absolutely horrible too, one way in so you're cornered waiting for your aggressor to go on ahead and good thing too or there could have been a REAL issue .. Here's your warning

I will be part of this building for eternity. Great spot to play pool, people watch have some good snacks.

The best spot for games. They don’t serve alcohol but enough wine beer etc Bartender’s where awesome Definitely a place to bring friends and visitors

Bathroom is not good, no paper towels or working hand dryer, only a short flimsy curtain instead of a stall door, and only one stall, but other than the bathroom, this place is great! Lots of options to do, play, drink.

A dive bar to the core and it's all you want from that sentiment! A billiards spot with a full bar offering. You can play darts, billiards, arcade games, ping pong, sing occasional karaoke, enjoy food truck takeovers, or just hang out here. They have several tables, but it can get busy, so if you're looking to play pool, I'd suggest arriving during an off time or asking to swap in with a group to play against winner. They have a decent offering list of drinks! Check out their calendar for regular events. Overall: A Staple dive bar in the heart of the Milk District.

I was not here to play so keep that in mind. I stopped in to have a drink and sat in the front area of the bar not the back area with the tables. They were not very busy but eventually they did acknowledge me, and I got a beer list. Drinks were up soon enough served cold in a clean glass and then the bartender disappeared. That's not usually a problem as I understand they have lots of other things to do. About 20 minutes later I was sitting with an empty glass and nobody was around. I waited patiently and was finally able to flag someone down. They asked what else I wanted and told them just the check since I was concerned it would be a 45-minute endeavor to have just one more beer. Pricing was not horrible, and I guess if you were at a table playing pool then the experience would likely be very different. Might be going back when I have more time to play pool.

Well I was a little let down. They really only had 2/3 pool tables and they were all taken. There's really no bar seats and no general seating anywhere. So I'm not sure what you're suppose to do while you wait for a table. They do have arcade games, but with no tables it's hard to play when you have a drink in your hand.

We went it just to sit at the bar and grab a drink. It was a quiet night and were greeted right away and offered up the beer menu. They did have a great selection of different beers to choose from. We picked our beers out and they were served cold. Lots of TVs for different events for you to watch and also have lots of pool tables. We just wanted to sit and chat so we relaxed and enjoyed our beer. It may look shady or a dive bar from the outside, but at least the night we were there - it was not smoky and was clean and bright. We didn't try any of the food on this visit, but will stop back in to try on the next visit.

What a fun spot! Sportstown has so much to offer! There are plenty of areas to hang out in. They have board games, pool, arcade games, vending machines, and more. Service was fast and helpful. I got a peach High Noon and really enjoyed the energy of the space. This is a great place to socialize and hang out. Keep in mind they don't have liquor, only beer and wine beverages.

Great area to pass time. Friendly crowd. For the drinks, mediocre. Service crew is friendly

Pretty lively bar with affordable drinks, arcade games, pool tables, darts, and more! This was my partner and I's first date, and it didn't disappoint. A great vibe for a group hangout or a low key date night. The couple of times we've been here, the service is friendly and accommodating. The only downside is that the women's bathroom has one stall inside and there's no door, only a curtain. I'm very into the dive bar atmosphere but bathroom privacy, at a minimum, is a must. Aside from that, not a bad spot to grab a night cap!

I have always wanted to go in here but not alone because it seems like a place you want to bring a plus one or a few people. The moment you walk in from the parking lot, there's pool tables everywhere and then on the corner of the walls there is a skee ball, 2 Hoops, darts, ping poll table, an Itunes Juke box, card games, and some more stuff on the other side. They only serve: beer, wine and seltzers. They do sale jell-o shots which were pretty good. I legit had a great time hanging with my girls and also stumbling upon a friend that was there with their date was pretty dope. I'm glad I'm finally going back out more. Definitely a fun place to be. I'm also happy that this a smoke free zone. Was told this place was a place people could smoke in and thankfully they cut that out. I could neverrrrrrr go somewhere like that.

Popped in to grab a brew and some a/c and honestly enjoyed the atmosphere. Someone definitely took over the touch tunes, but it set a fun vibe. Lots of games to play and the bartender was super sweet and knowledgeable. Would recommend for a fun game night with friends! Especially since they have such a large variety.

Super fun, just taking a star off because there's hardly any parking and it's difficult to get in and out of especially if you have a big SUV! Ambiance was great and service was good as well! Plenty of pool tables to use and other games throughout as well! I didn't have any food, but it looked delicious as others around me were eating!

The price of both the food and drinks were great! Got yummy chili nachos and they were exactly what I needed. Pretty crowded place, even on a Tuesday when my friends and I went when it was pouring rain outside. However, it's no surprise it was that crowded because the vibes were on point! Will be coming back!

Came in for Jell-O shots for the st Patrick's day bar crawl. We also got cider and whiskey. The vibe is a sports bar with Billards and ping pong in the back. The bartender was nice- I definitely want to come back for ping pong!

The beer is cold, the bartenders are thoughtful, the Cuban sandwiches are memorable, but their chicken tenders are the best. A beer, some chicken and pin ball. Life couldn't get any better! If you are good at pinball come on down. Christopher Weiss

Such a fun spot to hang with friends! There are several things to do- play board games, pool, arcade games, drink, etc We did go on a Saturday night and waited a long time for a pool table and did eventually leave since we weren't called...but I do understand we did arrive late on a Saturday night so that is expected. But we had fun nonetheless! We played board games and just hung out. If you come here definitely bring cash for the arcade games! They do have an ATM if you do forget to bring cash. They also have an outdoor area outback we didn't explore much of it but it was there. There's parking out back but first come, first serve basis.

Sportstown is such a great place in the Milk district to hang with friends or have a date night as there are a bunch of activities, games and pool tables to play on. You have to bring cash as all of the machines take bills or quarters. There are some other games such as connect 4 and board games lining the walls that do not have a cost to play. The pool tables are rented by the hour and can be added to your tab. My only complaint is that they do not have liquor here, only beer and the like. Parking is also a challenge in this area.

Not only do they have the most affordable craft beers and domestics in the entire district, but the vibe is simple. The games are a plenty. The staff is quick and friendly like you wouldn't believe. They even remember your drink orders if you frequent more than a few times. It's everything you could ever want in a sports bar.

Love this place! Beer and wine only. So many games besides just pool. One of my favorite spots to unwind and shoot pool. I go often. Check it out!

Fun little spot to hangout with friends, play pool, and have some drinks. They have plenty of board games to enjoy and arcade games as well. Chill laid back vibes and staff. Had the nachos and Hefeweizen Tucher & Mango Cart and played Guess Who. This location is conveniently located on a strip of the Milk District that is surrounded by other vendors. Check them out!

Cool place! Has multiple different pool tables which is great! You can use TouchTunes to que up music! Selection was really great for the beer. The gentleman that helped us choose our drinks was nice & knowledgeable!

Cool spot for a couple of drinks with games like connect for, air hockey, beer pong, and pinball machines. Came in on a Saturday evening so didn't stand a chance of getting a spot at a pool table (still put my name down just in case but it was too busy) Fun place, will definitely come back again!

Came from out of town and visited this spot - amazing cider selection and the vibes/games were so fun we absolutely LOVED this place and definitely want to come back!

I loved it here! From the outside I judged it. They have billiards, a ping pong table and a bunch of board games along with arcade games. In order to play ping pong you have to put your name on the list. I only paid $7 for an hour of play. The service was good too! I didn't get any food or drinks but I'll be back for sure!

Convenient, family oriented fun. Clean, not overly crowded and friendly staff. Good food and adorable.

Looking for a place for a first date? Billiards, skill games, and even ping pong. Great selection of beers.

Love a good bar that has so much room for activities! This Milk District staple is my go-to for a great beer selection (and even better prices) paired with fun games that can keep you entertained for hours. They serve one of my favorite beers - the Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat, which I'm always happy to see on the menu. There are tons of gaming options including darts, air hockey, ping pong, ski-ball, basketball, endless shelves of board games, pool tables and more! Most of the games take quarters or $1 bills, so I recommend bringing some cash to play. My friends get pretty competitive with the basketball hoop and are always trying to beat the high score. This is also where I learned that I'm probably the worst ping pong player of all time lol. I'm pretty bad a most sports actually, but rack 'em up and put a pool stick in my hand... now that's my moment to shine! You can rent the pool tables by the hour for pretty cheap, which is way better than paying per game. On a busier night, you'll want to add your name to the waitlist for a pool table as soon as you arrive because they do fill up. As far as ambiance goes, this place is no frills, cheap thrills, and a bit divey -- in the best way! In addition to the games, they usually have pretty solid playlist going that consists mostly of punk rock and hits from the early 2000s. I'm always down for a throwback jam sesh. And my favorite way to end the night is with a short walk down to Gringos Locos for some Double D's... IYKYK.

Pool tables, arcade games, and good vibes! After a Tuesday Tasty Takeover food truck event, it's nice to pop into Sportstown Billiards to continue the local adventures. Highly recommend checking it out for yourself if you enjoy some friendly competition!

Love me some Sportstown every once in awhile, that's for sure. And for a long time, was a regular stop on our girls night tour with my Lockheed buddies back in the days before the Great Recession. Lots of fun though they didn't have Guinness in those days though we longed for it, was just next door if only we'd known. Lol. They do have Guinness draught these days, though, btw. Anway, think they might be one of Orlando's oldest watering hole's now given the rash of recent closures; somebody fact check me on this. Smokey divey local mainstay pool hall with loads of personality and lots of games beyond pool. There's some pub grubby pub grub on offer and a few interesting beers on tap; always something interesting and fun. You'll have to thread the needle if you're daring enough to park out back running through that tight alley is something else but I suppose that's part of it. Not for everyone but lots of fun.

Sportstown is a long-standing Institution in Orlando. A spacious, fun spot to enjoy a few beers and the camaraderie of friends. They have a good selection of beer, friendly bartenders and a usually fun crowd.

Great environment amazing employees fantastic service. Food was fantastic Definitely check his place out if you're in the area.

Pros: Great atmosphere, good music, nice folks. What else can you ask for from a billiards place? Bar tender are super chill. Cons: Smokey, but once again, what else can you ask for from a billiards place.

A great place just to hangout. They have a lot of domestic and imported beers. They have a ton of bar style games like corn hole, pool, and darts. They also have pin ball and a ton of board games. They have a really cool music box called touch tunes which you can control from you phone and choose music to play. Only downside is that you can smoke inside so be prepared to smell like cigarettes if you go. They have a lot of great vibes and drink specials. Great place to just hangout and have a drink with friends.

This place is my second home so I've avoided writing a review but I need the world to know how cool this bar is. Yesss this place is a dive bar. Yes there's smoking allowed inside ... yes they serve food. They also have unlimited amounts of games to play from pool to darts to corn hole to board games. To play pool you need to put a card down, and I believe it's 10$/ hr now. But it's easy to split between friends later on. Beers are supper cheaaaappp and they have specials all week long. So if you go Monday through Friday you'll save even mooore. They have beer specials throughout. They do have a 10$ minimum with cards and will place a 25$ good on your account when you start a tab. It goes away within a few days. Honestly my favorite part about this bar is the employees and the customers. The employees are cool as heck. The people make this bar what it is. The customers are a mix of every single different kind of person and age groups. It's a band hang out too. And if you get hungry just eat in with some cheesy tots or go to Gringos next door!!! How could life get any better than that !! I bring all my friends here and everyone becomes obsessed too. I want this place to exist forever.

This is one of the true local watering holes in the Milk District Orlando area. The location fairly large & in the heart of Mills District. The building is old, poorly ventilated, but very cozy w/a lot of character. There are multiple pool tables for the local shark players. On one side of the bar is a room w/board games, an air hockey table and other games. Its definitely a dive, but a fun dive. Make sure you walk around the whole place to check it out. It's smoking friendly. Ladies be ready to wash your hair. You have been warned. Sportstown does not serve food or liquor... but NO worries! Easily w/in walking distance is Gringos Locos for cost effective fast eats. Also w/in walking distance is Whiskey Lou's which does serve liquor. Pop in for a drink at Whiskey Lou's, then walk back over to Sportstown to finish your game of pool. Sportstown has a pretty good selection of beers (so I'm told). I'm not a fan of beers, but they have always had a good cider for me! Very well priced booze. Smoking friendly + board games + air hockey + other games + cheap beers + multiple pool tables + throwing stone distance to food and liquor = great local dive. I recommend here to anyone who is local or wants an authentic Orlando local experience. The only reason it gets 4/5 stars is for its smoking vortex w/terrible ventilation. I still come here when I venture out of downtown Orlando.

my happy place; seriously I can spend all day here. SO MANY GAMES. I'm a sucker for the dart room and the myriad snack options. Plenty of TVs means I can always keep an eye on football and the staff is super chill. Decent prices, but beware smoking is allowed inside.

Favorite bar in Orlando. Great casual place to hangout. I've made a lot of good friends here and even met my boyfriend here! I've never brought anyone who didn't end up liking Sporties. Gets a bit crowded later in the evening especially weekends (mostly a younger crowd) so you may not get a pool table on the wait list but there's other stuff to do. Prices are decent, staff is chill and doesn't seem to turnover much. Owner is the nicest guy around, seems like a fun down-to-earth dude. Can't come here without stopping at gringos for tacos next door.

I'll drive past several pool halls to go to sportstown. Situated in the milk district, you'll likely parallel park somewhere along Robinson. The tables are good and there are players of all skill level here. Be sure to get there early for a table bc on the more popular nights, you may have to wait a VERY LONG TIME. The staff are chill and efficient. I haven't had too much of their food but the drink list is as would be expected. Music is usually rock, but sometimes has some very unusual genre changes. The strip has several other good places to check out so if you've never been here, try to come on a food truck night if possible!

Sportstown Billiards is one of those hidden treasures of Orlando. Located in the milk district. Sometimes the basic bar atmosphere can seem mundane, at Sportstown Billiards they are full of entertainment and fun. You will love the funky interior with a hip crowd. Mon- Sunday they are open from 12pm-2am. No cover fee but 21 and up. They serve only beer but a very wide, excellent variety of it ranging from IPAs to ciders. They have specials going on every day like Tin tuesdays where cans are $1.50 or Wednesday's where crafts are .50 cents off. They also offer food but I've never embarked on this seeing as Gringos Locos is next door. They are known for their games and billiards. It's hard to find a billiard hall these days.. let alone a hip one with a younger crowd. Pool tables are usually taken but you can add yourself to the waitlist which moves rather fast. They do offer free pool during the day with beverage but night rates vary upon purchase. Their rates are very resonable compared to competitors as long as your drinking! If pool isn't your thing they offer pretty much any board game you can think of. Some of my favorites are sorry, connect 4, guess who, or just a classic deck of cards. They even have darts, ping pong and even basketball arcade games. Service here is very good. I love the friendly bartenders. They can always handle a crowd and are great at helping you find a good brew. This place is super fun, the only downfall is the smoke. They don't offer much ventilation so it can get pretty bad. They have a outdoor area if you need some fresh air. It doesn't bother me but my boyfriend can't handle it. I still strongly suggest checking it out. If you hate smoke come during slower hours and it's not so bad.

Super chill bar in Orlando that's filled with old school entertainment. Pool tables galore, darts, air hockey, board games, and a plethora of beer (no liquor). Absolutely loved the pool tables... super clean felt with gorgeous claw foot legs. All the staff members were on point the entire time. Service was Johnny on the spot! Touch tunes stayed pretty busy with a wide array of music. It's too bad I'm an out of towner... this would have been my regular go to bar! I'll be sure to hit it up any time I drive back up to Orlando!

Fun spot! If you head here on the weekend, you might have to wait for a pool table but there are an abundance of activities and games around. Be sure to let the group know you want to play next so they can pass it over. Great. Cheap. Fun.

One of my favorite dive bars in Orlando, but you have to know what you're getting yourself into. They have the cheapest prices for good beers anywhere in town. The beer list is extensive and the bartenders are usually pretty efficient. They have a half dozen pool tables but I've only played once. I'm always just drinking and playing one of their other games. Board games, ping pong, air hockey, skee ball, and some other stuff. Some of the video games and all of the board games are free, but everything else is paid. I've heard the food is okay, but I'm pretty much always going to choose Gringos next door. They also do food truck events every Tuesday. Parking can be a little tricky if you don't know the area. You can park on westbound Robinson in the evenings or in one of the small lots behind the bars. The alley to get to the lots is pretty small so don't speed through it. Something I love about this place is that the crowd is always very eclectic. You'll see guys in suits, hipsters, young, old, and everything in between. My main gripe about this place is that smoking is allowed inside. It's also slightly annoying that they don't allow outside food in. If you're going to have food trucks next door on a weekly basis, you should let people in with the food.

This is an absolutely awesome sports bar! I've been to Sportstown a few times, and every time has been great. Now, this place isn't for everyone, but it is a great place to go to have a drink and do something active in a bar. It's located in the Milk District, and compared to the other small bars in that area, it's nice to have a place that is fairly large an active. You can go in 2 entrances. One entrance takes you to the game area (I'll mention more below), but I use the main entrance which takes you into their front bar area. They have about 10 seats set up to watch 3 or 4 tvs. You can order your drink there or on the opposite side (I recommend the opposite side). The way they work with their drinks is you place an order, they give you a wristband with a number, and they write your drinks down in a book next to that number so that you can pay for everything based on that number in the end. Love the idea! When you proceed past the bar area, you see about 10-15 pool tables, a ping pong table/court with netted entrances (which helps keep balls from rolling into other areas), a few basketball-shooting games, a Foosball table, and a few tvs. You have to get on a list to rent many of the thing there and they can cost a couple bucks, but they are all worth it and very fun. Once you stop by the opposite side of the bar to get your drink, you will see a few tvs with game systems attached. If you go into the game area, you'll see several more setups with tvs/game consoles, as well as dart boards, a plethora of board games, and other fun activities. You'll usually see a bunch of people sitting down and engaged in a game of hungry hungry hippos or guess who. Trust me when I say it's fun to go from drinking and playing pool to fighting with your hungry hungry hippo. Overall, Sportstown is one of the best sports activities bars in Orlando. While it may not be the absolute best place to go just to only watch your game, it is definitely a great place to go to watch your game while engaging in a wide range of activities while drinking from a wide range of beers. I can confirm that this place rocks.

Sportstown is probably my favorite bar in Orlando! I don't remember when or why we came the first time but I'm sure glad we did. It's right in the milk district (and strategically placed a couple of doors down from a Gringo's Locos) so parking can be a little tough on busy nights. It looks a lot smaller on the outside but once you walk in, it's much bigger. There are several pool tables that you can rent by the hour. On busy nights, there's usually a list for the tables and there have been a couple of times where we don't get a table at all before we call it a night. No problem - there's plenty of other things to do! There's a ping pong table, corn hole boards, air hockey, dart boards and the walls are LINED with board and card games. They have a pretty big beer selection and their prices are super fair. They don't sell liquor but they do have wine on tap if you ask nice enough ;) The only downfall here is that they allow people to smoke indoors which I don't love, but not so much that it would stop me from coming back - this is still the first place I suggest in a night out!

Beer selection is great. Awesome game selection. But if you want to play pool on a weekend night or busy night forget it... The bartenders only give the tables to regulars.. but they will keep your name on the list. Was disrespected and disappointed, not sure I'd even go back because of this.

I've always loved Sportstown. They have the best craft beers for the best prices in Orlando. I love Sportstown even more now that it's smoke free! I think a smoke free environment will bring more people in for longer amounts of time. Sportstown is an Orlando staple!

Sportstown is an Orlando establishment. Located in the Milk District, it's the grimiest, smokiest, must-go bar in Orlando. (I know that sounds counterintuitive, but hear me out...) According to an old Orlando Sentinel article by M. F. Emmons, Sportstown is Orlando's oldest pool hall, having been around since 1958. "It was a greasy spoon called Sportstown Grama Lena's. Real-live gangsters counterfeited money and melted down silver in a secret upstairs apartment, reached by a hidden staircase in a broom closet with a false back, while downstairs there was a kitchen where the bar is today." Thank Shiva places like Sportstown and Wally's exist in Orlando (sometimes characterized as the land of the artificial landscapes of Disney). Take your out of town guests here to show them the less-polished side of this great city! A German guest of mine said it best when she said "this is what an American bar should be."

I have always passed by Sportstown and never even thought about going to it. Looking at it from the outside, it doesn't look like anything fancy. I had a couple of friends who had mentioned how fun and neat it was. One day I was finally convinced to go. Walking inside, you see a small bar. Walking around the corner, you see that the place is full of pool tables and a whole variety of games. They had darts, ping pong, board games, a basketball arcade game, and a whole bunch of other stuff. There was a good selection of beers... and they all were cheap! I was surprised to see that a craft beer was only $3! When you start up a tab, they give you a wrist band with a number on it. That number is written down in a notebook and they write down whatever you order. Service was friendly. They looked like they liked being there and were attentive. The only thing I did not like about Sportstown is that it is so smokey. I came home stinking of cigarettes.

Boardgames... Billards... and Beer at a bar.. count me in! (I love alliterations) Haven't been to this place in ages and it's still a great bar. It used to be more divey, smokey, and more of a biker bar. But with the rise of the hipsters in Milk District, it still retains it's original charm, but has some positive improvements. I would still consider it a dive bar, but the smoke smell isn't as bad as other places and i don't feel as dirty being in there. The clientele is very eclectic. You'll find everyone from post-work happy hour, to smoking bikers, to bearded craft beer drinkers, to giggling college girls. Everyone enjoying what Sportstown Billiards has to offer: Retro board games, video games, and arcade games. There's billiards and foosball too. They have a pretty good beer menu and haven't tried the food yet, but it looks good. I'm here to drink anyway. Tasty Tuesday food truck meet-ups originally brought me to the Milk District area, but I'll be spending a lot more time here. Great place to just hang with your friends to drink and play games.

Been coming here on and off for 3 decades - great selection of craft beer. So limited food options but a couple good places within walking distance her in the Milk District. Great place to shoot pool.
