VIP is a decent pool hall located downtown near Yonge and Gerrard. As for as pool halls goes, this is a not too shabby joint and as far as rates go they're reasonable -cheaper than Rivoli if I remember correctly. There are plenty of pool tables around (good for groups!), drink service is quick and there's a jukebox for further entertainment. However the last time I was here-nobody was putting any money in so unfortunately our music selection for the evening went all over the map from Metallica to soft 80's ballads.
A wise tip to any pool goers here would be to avoid ordering food here, stick with the booze. Chicken wings and fries are nothing to sneeze at and they have the saddest plate of beef nachos! For $12.99 you get a tepid plate with tostitos, a meagre sprinkle of cheese, sour cream and dingy salsa and finally-what looks and tastes like some rank chopped up bits of hamburger patty. You'd be better off eating at the doner place up on the street.
So yeah stay away from the food here and stick to the beer and pool playing.
