Introducing The Side Pocket: Holland’s New Favorite Spot to Eat, Relax, and Play!
Good food and good games just belong together — and at Black River Billiards, that’s exactly what you’ll find at The Side Pocket, our new in-house kitchen and bar.
When owners Chris and Jamie Strowenjans took over in November 2024, one of their first goals was to bring back great food made from scratch. The result? A fresh, flavorful menu that’s already winning over both players and families alike.
Made from Scratch, Served with Heart
From hand-pattied burgers and house-seasoned fries to sandwiches, wraps, and weekly specials, everything coming out of The Side Pocket kitchen is made with care. It’s the kind of food that pairs perfectly with a few rounds of pool or a night catching up with friends.
Our team takes pride in keeping things local and personal — simple ingredients, cooked right, and served by people who know your name by the second visit.
Something for Everyone
Whether you’re here for league night, a family dinner, or just stopping in for a drink after work, The Side Pocket has something for everyone.
- Full menu available for lunch and dinner
- Local beer, wine, and handcrafted cocktails
- Weekly food and drink specials
- Family-friendly atmosphere with plenty of space to unwind
Stop In and Taste the Difference
You don’t need to play pool to enjoy The Side Pocket — just bring your appetite and good company. Dine in, grab a drink, or make a night of it with great food, laughter, and the sound of the break echoing across the tables.
The Side Pocket is more than just an add-on — it’s part of what makes the new Black River Billiards a true Holland favorite.
