Sunday nights there is FREE billiards at Hammerheads. The bar is bigger than it looks from the outside, there is a fenced in "smoking area". The prices are average, I believe either Coors Light or Bud Light glass bottles are on special on Sundays as well... There are one or two Pinball machines, a Foosball table, 4 or 5 Dart boards and three or four Billiard tables. They also host billiards and darts tournaments. Overall it's a nice bar to go to!

One of my favorite spots in Dubuque Iowa to shoot pool and throw darts. Multiple pool tables and a calm crowd good vibe most nights.

I have since edited my review from last time. The owner personally apologized to me for what happened and handled the situation fantastic. It was a heated situation that after a little time turned out to be resolved in a good way. Those darts will be hitting the dart board again and hopefully all bulls.

Bartenders are awesome. They have solid draft choices, like Pseudo Sue and Big Grove. Sports, darts, pool, table games and golf games. A really great place and good people.
