The Pikeview Lounge is actually two bars and a pool hall/video casino in one. On the right hand side is the Pikeview Sports Bar, a great place to meet some friends and watch the game.

If you just want to have a few drinks and maybe gamble while listening to some classic country tunes, then the Beckley Plaza Lounge is your kind of place. The owner/bartender Lloyd will remind you of the bartender in The Boondock Saints, and he is a fun guy to talk to. There is always a lot of friendly conversation at the Beckley Plaza Lounge. The Lounge offers the least expensive beer in Beckley, a full liquor bar, pool tables, and the only dart board in Beckley. My husband and I love this place so much that we had our wedding reception there on Halloween. The Beckley Plaza Lounge is located behind the Raleigh Mall on Market Road in Beckley, West Virginia.

Have a great time!
