The Scene – Hidden across the street from the popular Kendall Square Cinema, Flat Top's attracts a steady mix of area professionals and local residents. A laid-back vibe permeates both the bar area and the billiards room. Seating on the outdoor patio offers a quiet respite from the noisy bar and its hip soundtrack. – – The Draw – The 12 tournament-size pool tables are the main attraction, but many come here just to hang out in the bar, sipping something from the lengthy beer list--there's a dozen varieties on tap--or noshing on above-average finger food (the roasted…

Where to begin, "bostonmaine" has essentially accused a Flat Top's employee of stealing.I would expect that a business that has been around for almost 15 years doesn't steal it's customers money very often if ever.This seems like a curious venue to accuse a place of theft. If he suspects an employee of it, why not contact the establishment? . Second of all, if the person at the pool desk wanted to beat him for some cash, he isn't getting very far on 2 bucks. I would guess that bostonmaine checked his credit card statement when he got home...was probably not an actual charge, just an authorization. Finally last i checked, an $8 pool tab, doesn't really fall in the "i play a lot of pool category"
Good Pool / Lousy Employees

First off, the pool here is great -- good tables, good cues. It's a good place.
I'm giving it one star because the a**hole pool cashier attendant guy tacked on a two dollar tip for himself after we left -- bill was $8 and they charged my card for $10.
So the lesson here is, if you're going to go to Johnny's, pay in cash. Or, like me, you could spend your dollars someplace that won't rip you off -- that $2 cost them my business, and I play a lot of pool.
A great time as usual

Here you find the right mix of people, casual atmosphere, drinks, food, and pool. And, the music is always just off center, and usually very entertaining. I highly recommend this place, for a night out of playing pool, or darts or even golden-t (yes!). it's also just a good hang...recommended indeed.
- Pros: Pool, music, friendly environment
- Cons: Long wait for tables on friday night
