Probably the best place if you are looking for a pool or darts. Great party place. Beer is always cold and fresh.
They put beer mugs into the freezer:) I would probably add one more star if I can for that:) It is more likely beer and play place not sure about the kitchen. So I will not leave any comments. Beer is pretty affordable.
Place is huge, I believe more than 10 pool tables. And very popular. So might spend some time to get a table.

Good size place, plenty of elbow room. Great bar service. Good vibes. They have a punch bag arcade machine! (test your punching power) other games too.

Large space with a ton of tables and some other activities like foosball and darts. The beer selection is somewhat lack luster buts it's not a bar so that's to be expected. It gets super crowded so prepare to put your name on the list and wait a while when it's busy.

Pro: Great place to play a while, clean and relaxing atmosphere.
Con: in weekends afternoons, you need to wait for a table, around 30min.

The best place to play Billiard and Snooker in CA is that I can not forget my time being there and playing snooker with friends and family on the weekends, they will be open till 1: 00 AM after midnight.

A clean place that offers multiple poor tables, darts, foosball and other arcade games. It’s for the prices. They do offer food and beers. The staff were very friendly. This place is open for late hours and was pretty lively.

Owner is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the range of products that would be best for your style of play.

Many tables available in two different sizes depending on your skill level. Cheap too my friend and I spent about an hour here, played two games and it was about $11. There is also a bar with plenty options.

Old asian guy on the cash counter is rude and his customer service is absolutely BS. If you find anyone else besides him you’re in good hands.

Surprised to find this spot. Huge space with 20+ pool, billiards tables and open till 1am.
Have a good selection of beers on tap as well. The only knock off would be the cleanliness of the place (seems like self service bussing) but glasses and trays were left behind.
The actual pool tables quality was really good and will definitely be back to play more. Pricing was super reasonable as well.

Wow! Classic & historic pool hall. It has moved around a lot over the decades, and now resides in Fremont on 40510 Albrae Street. Originally, in San Jose at a few different locations, with lots of great players & history. I remember when it was on Steven's Creek Boulevard in San Jose. Met came by there in 1988 being escorted by Cole Dickson for money games. Harry "Hollywood" Sims was the house pro, and World Billiards Champion. True to its heritage it is huge. The food is good, and the place is clean. World renowned for One Pocket, but certainly you can find a match, friendly or competitive, in any game. They have large money tournaments, and top players visit regularly. Another thing that impressed us is their sponsoring of a youth pool league. We need more and more of that for the next generation, and California Billiards is setting the example. They also have an agreement with the local Holiday Inn hotel with really good rates, and advertise it on their website. The table rates are affordable, and if you are committed become a member for deep savings. If you need lessons, they reference Bob Jewett. If you don't know Bob Jewett is a long time great player, and one of the finest billiards instructors in the world. A definite must visit when in Fremont, CA.

One of the best pool halls in the Bay Area. Quality equipment in great condition. Well spaced out. Bar box and snooker tables as well. Food and drinks on site. Tournaments as leagues available as well.

Great prices, well kept equipment, open and spacious feeling inside. No creeps or shady men to make me feel unsafe. Nearby players are friendly, staff are friendly and helpful. Larger than the Mtn. View location. I miss Ladies' Night.

I'm not really a pool player and came here to meet friends from work. So it wouldnt be fair for me to rate this place as good or bad. But I did order the fish and chips while here. I have to say I thought it was pretty darn good.

Lots of tables, dart boards, Foosball, and even some pinball machines. Several beers on tap, mixed drinks also available and food too.
Good place to hangout.
