Looking for the best pool hall in California? We don't grade places ourselves.

Only halls with 10 or more reviews count, and bars with pool tables are left out. 205 of the 225 pool halls we list in California qualify; these are the top 12.

From their reviews
“First of all it’s Free! Did you get that? Free Wi-Fi, free entertainment, free water, plenty of seating, capacity 900 😝 lots of charging stations omg bathrooms, in this city lol. The staff let’s just say they could supervise a mental house and I’d fit right in lol.”
“Hinano Cafe is a Venice classic just steps from the beach and it feels like a place that hasn’t tried to reinvent itself, which is part of the appeal. This is old-school Venice through and through. Surfboards overhead, a jukebox in the corner, pool tables, free popcorn, and yes, sawdust on the floor.”
“This was my friends group go to place from 2002-2010. Now every time I'm in town I love to stop by and relive some of those good memories with old friends. Love that this place has been kept up, maintained well and is still such a great place to hang out with friends.”
