The most well kept up pool hall you'll ever visit!: I have been here many times over the years and also been to numerous pool halls in the bay area from SF to SJ and this one by far out shines them all. This is all due to the owner who is always there and fully runs the place being extremely meticulous and very very anal. Every time I am there he's spending the time cleaning and re-arranging everything. Yesterday was the most anal I have seen him be as he was arranging the pool sticks in order of a pyramid shape and turning the stick around so they all had the same design going the same ways and taking sticks from other spots that fit better in each section. I could not believe how into it he was! He's constantly cleaning everything in sight and you'll never see a piece of garbage left over from any patron cause he's right on it the moment a person pays to leave. The place is just spotless and majorly cared for and it greatly shows! Has all the elements of a great pool hall as well. Very dark except for the lighted pool tables. Very calming and easy on the eyes not having a lighted pool room. The room is very spacious and it very rare to have any one else playing pool any closer then 4 tables away. I have never been there and had more than 3 other tables in use actually. They have a stocked concessions are which is nice. The owner is very friendly and considerate. There's a modern virtual juke box and he'll sometimes allow you to pick a few songs for free when there's no one else there. If you get there between 10-1 you'll most likely be the only person there. The only time I have ever have an issue is when there's some gross male at another table basically trying to star down my shirt as I am playing pool. When there's a few other tables in use at least one of them always seems to be occupied by a disgusting excuse for a male. This has no reflection of the pool hall and I find this at every pool place I have ever been to. I travel from Half Moon Bay to go there cause it's so worth it!

Good place and is open late: I had a good time with my friends, however the crowd wasn't the greatest. The service was good, only took 5 minutes to get a table. The pool tables were great! A reason to come back.
