What People Are Saying About Twain's Billiards & Tap

In Short – It's the Incredible Hulk of pool halls: huge, green and all business. Twain's packs in 20 Brunswick Gold Crown tables, half of them in a separate non-smoking room. A third cavernous room sports a bar, haphazard dining area, dartboards, foosball, shuffleboard tables and a trippy linoleum floor. The joint attracts the lesbian crowd, ex-frat boys with cute dates, plus the requisite handful of pool junkies glowering at the amateurs.

Best Burger

by chadavid at Citysearch

I love this place. Great place for a burger (one of the best in the city) and a quality beer selection. Couple that with a lil WiFi and you have the perfect recipe for Sunday Workday.

  • Pros: beer, beers and ballons
  • Cons: loud kids

Fantastic Burger!! Great Beer!! Awesome Bartender!!

Love a good burger? Then try one from Twain's. Twain's has the best burger I've had in a long time. And I LOVE a good burger!! Made to order and cooked perfectly, it comes served with the usual lettuce, tomatoe, onion, with additional toppings available (mushrooms, jalapeno peppers, etc.). The sweet potato fries are also fantastic -- served by the basket, they are crisp and served piping hot. Also really, really good are: The beer, of course!! They brew their own. The French Dip - LOADED with meat and cheese; the Cuban Sandwich - grilled to perfection; the Wings (their medium is pretty hot!); the Hummus (spicy); and the Greek Salad - generous on the feta and real kalamata olives. The restaurant itself is a huge bar and billiards room, with additional arcade and darts areas. The long bar probably seats 20 people, and there are 2 TV's usually set on sports. Go on a Saturday afternoon and sit with Bartender Sarah. Sarah REALLY knows her beers, and is an interesting character, with her long black braids and big black rimmed glasses. A total hoot!! Service is always great. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food served, and the atmosphere is very pleasant (non-smoking).

I was shocked after reading some of the reviews on this site about my favorite bar. I tend to sit at the bar, and I've never had bad service there--sometimes the tables get a little lackadaisical service, though. I don't care about kids being there as long as they're being monitored by THEIR OWN PARENTS, not the bar staff (it's not their job). I honestly think Twain's has the best bar food and the best crafted beer in Decatur--the cask and Belgian selections are always great in particular, and the stout is substantial. I have always had good experiences with Twain's staff too, they're friendly and unpretentious but like all bar industry professionals they prefer when you treat them like people instead of servants. Plus they have pool tables and they show hockey if it's on.
