The Rialto is more than just a pool room it's also a sports bar. There is also a separate gambling room where Off Track Betting and live poker are available. If you choose to play poker be forewarned that the play is fast, for me at least it is very difficult to keep track of things like the small and big blinds, what the beds are and neither how much is in the pot. The chips are just flying in. I haven't attempted to join a game yet because I don't want to slow down the play, as I am the slower and more deliberate player. They have an area that I haven't been into yet call the Jack London Bar where they have live bands and other acts that vary each night. The cover charge for these bands can be anywhere from $5 to as much as $30 depending on how popular and well known the bands are. The staff at the bar and the servers in the dining area are very friendly, helpful and courteous. It is no chore at all to want to tip the servers more then the average I often leave 30 to 40% sometimes even more. The menu is limited but everything on it is delicious. There are multiple televisions around the pool room and dining area that played mostly Sports. Just ask your server or one of the other staff if they will change the TV channel in your area to a different Channel or sport and they are more than happy to do so. I would recommend this place to anyone over 21. There is also a place that is part of the Rialto called Arthur's Diner that is accessible from the pool room but is separate enough that minors are allowed. I believe from opening to closing although it might only be until 9:00 or so. Arthur's is where they make the food that is served in the Rialto proper. The Rialto has a little something for almost everyone. Go and enjoy.
