Editorial Review for Joey's – by Robert Macias
The Scene
Part of a small enclave of clubs known as the St. Mary's strip, the bar attracts downtown professionals during happy hour, and students from nearby universities later in the evening. Pool players have seven hourly tables and two coin-operated ones to choose from. A state-of-the-art sound system assures that even people who aren't seated near one of the TVs can hear the game, whether they're playing pool, sitting at the main bar, or lounging on the rooftop deck.
The Draw
With 17 beers on tap, 50 bottled beers, and a full bar, drinkers have an abundance of options. Regulars and longtime employees credit owner Joey Villarreal for the bar's lasting appeal. Under his steady guidance, the downscale watering hole has maintained a loyal following even as several nearby clubs have flamed out. It's a simple but reliable business plan: reasonably priced drinks, better-than-average pub grub, plenty of pool tables, and friendly service.

Great overall bar that is unpretentious. Not a lot of sitting room, however, don't plan on a big group.

When no one can agree on what to do or where to go we always end up at Joey's. It's a sure thing - a great place to meet up with some friends and chill. They have a good beer selection and serve food (pizza, sandwiches) as well. Everything I've had there has been great.
