California Billiards

Great place if you're in Northern California

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. Efren Reyes came by there in 1987 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. If your an adult amateur you can easily find a league there to accommodate that interest. 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.
