The Limelight is a cool neighborhood Pub that also has a card room in back. (The Pub area is separate, which I like, as I'm not a gamer. ) They have quality beers on tap, excellent food, and a pleasant clientele. It's usually not crazy-crowded, but there's always someone to strike up a conversation or enjoy a ball…

The short version
What visitors say about Limelight Cardroom
The Limelight is a pub first, a bar on Alhambra Boulevard with good beer on tap, a kitchen regulars rate highly and TVs for Kings and football games, and fantasy leagues hold their drafts here. The card room is in back and separate from the bar, so anyone who came for brunch or a pint can ignore it.
The gaming side is small, with a few poker tables, including a friendly low stakes game, and usually one or two blackjack tables that players like for their bonus bets. Staff get steady credit for being welcoming and easygoing. The complaints are a cramped room, bar service that can be slow and pricey, and a kitchen that has its off days. Many of the reviews are several years old.
