California Billiards

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.

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.

Nice place with a lot of pool tables. They have 2 sizes on pool tables. Whichever you are comfortable playing on. Also decent collection of beers on tap. We also ordered fries with beer battered shrimp and the shrimp was really really well cooked. Great in taste as well. All in all a great place to hang out for couple of hours, or even more.
