Pool facilities are fine but experience is completely ruined by the awful music that is always played on maximum volume, so you can’t even talk to your mates while playing, or speak to the people at the bar. It’s not like the music is any good either, it’s horrible bass loaded dubstep of terrible remixes. Night ruiner. Stay away

Lots of tables, the proper English sort of the 1/2 and 3/4 sizes, and some big American tables too if you can't get yourself a proper table Staff are great and the regulars can be quite friendly. The owner is a bit odd though. Regardless, he puts together a reasonable place to have a few games of pool. …

Didn’t order any food here so can’t comment about food. Place is on the basement but directions from the main entrance are easy to follow. Cocktail drinks are affordable. Pool table is hired by the hour and you only pay for the time you used up. There’s ample spaces between the pool tables which is good. More

Considering that empire is in the heart of the city, I have never had any issues with intoxicated people. The staff are friendly and welcoming. If you like to play pool and have some drinks, the empire pool lounge is a suitable establishment. I had a large table for about 2 hours and played about $45. More

Great spot to watch sports and play some pool. My partner and I had a great time here on a Monday night killing time before a dinner reservation. I wish we could have stayed longer as it was a lot of fun. We played pool for about an hour and had some drinks. The pool tables are charged by the hour :)

Ruby was absolutely amazing, we paid for our drinks at the bar and they left them there for 30 minutes then ruby came and made sure we got our drinks asking people what our number was because people didn’t know. Incredibly nice and considerate by the way. 5 stars! More

Such a great atmosphere for a drink or a game of pool. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the night. We went to a few places for during the evening but this venue and the bartender Brooke were definitely our favourite. Thanks for the great hospitality :)

These guys just don't get it. Literally nobody wants to here 90s and 00s R&B bangers at 6pm with the after work crowd. Just stop. Seriously. Try some jazz, some blues or light rock. It's always the same garbage playlist and it absolutely kills the atmosphere. More

Always a great place to come and play pool with friends or adult members of your family. Great for parties or a quick game of pool and a few drinks. DJ was there on the Saturday night we played. Been here a few times and have never had any

Best bouncers in all of Adelaide, kind, understanding and above all else fair these two will chat with you all night have a laugh and not take you too seriously the best bouncers in Adelaide and absolute gems behind the bar too cannot

From the moment I walked in impressed , the bar staff slash designated 8ball table staff , were not only outstanding in the way they applied their trade they have the most bitchen tunes playing, great straight flat true tables but ques can

Look, it's an alright spot. Have had a few solid nights there with mates, clientelle are friendly enough, etc Haven't had an issue until last night. Asked to split the bill at the end of a two hour sesh and got asked "haven't you heard of

I’m sorry but are you serious ! The DJ was terrible. He just popped his silly Spotify playlist on and played it far too loudly for an 8ball establishment. He should really take a long hard look at himself in the mirror. Disgraceful.

I enjoyed being there with my mates for the first time; however, I started to feel a little suffocated when there were more people. I would recommend keeping the place more ventilated as it is in basement. Rest all good.

Came here as the second stop for a night out with mates. Not disappointed. We ended up staying til we were ready to head home, instead of bar crawling like we had expected. Thanks for a good night Empire! More

Love to come here after work or uni with my bf and friends. I love the atmosphere and the prices are alright. It can become busy although if you get in early you can score a big table most of the time.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, security guards do a great job, they look after the venue and patrons well Perfect place to play pool, watch sport and have a drink with friends

Amazing place, great to go with friends. The security guard Mo out the front is a top bloke, looks after the venue well. He recommended me to come to empire, never been before. More

Pool tables are clean, as are the cues. Service is generally friendly. The drinks are mid, the table price is fairly reasonable. It's open late, and the music is good too. More

Chill and cozy place to play pool, great service, good beer and just a great place to hang and play with friends this is a must go places where you can have fun and enjoy.

Didn’t have food but the Guinness on tap was amazing best in Adelaide and the pool was great ..great tables and atmosphere it’s a must go and see ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More

Always a go to for a Friday night, it does get busy but the table turnover usually isn't long to wait! Also some great bar drink options and friendly staff

$23 per hour for pool with maximum of 5 people per table. Staff lady was friendly and helpful. Music was a bit loud and nonsensical

Great place for a game of pool and a few drinks, stopped serving cocktails a bit early, but the ones I had were quite good. More

really cool setup, we paid for the VIP floor for a gathering, had a great night, bar staff are wicked. highly recommend More

Heaps of tables. Not too loud, good rates per hour for the tables too. Don't let the obscure entry put you off. More

Good place to go on a Saturday night even if you dont play pool. They also have coffee but no milk alternatives.

Great place to get out of the heat of the day have a few beers and play pool definitely go have a look More
