    My coworker was looking for a place to go out where there would be games and drinks and came upon…read morethis place. It was definitely a great find. DRINKS Thai iced tea slushie tasted like desert in drink form and was delicious. Nick the bartender was so accommodating and did a great job helping me decide what to order since there were a couple of options I was eyeing. The drinks were average price. SERVICE Great, the games were self service and the bar tops were manned so you just head over when you want to get a drink. AMBIANCE It was a very chill and free flowing environment. The place is a vintage theater turned into a barcade, and I love what they did. It's so spacious, has multiple floors, and the high ceilings make the space even more open. They have huge games on the top floor next to the bar which were so much fun! They had movies being projected onto a huge wall visible from every floor. There's music playing but you can still hear well enough to have a conversation. They had classic to new games. Some of them were free. I was unsure of how I'd like it before going but SO GLAD I went. Great for a fun date or just hanging out with your friends. I could also see it being a fun place to have a bday party. I'll be visiting again the next time I'm in San Francisco. Check this place out! Trust me it's worth a visit.

    I've been here a handful of times, and it's generally been a good experience with each visit. It's…read morea casual barcade. I love that it's multi-leveled and has high ceilings as it makes it feel more spacious, because it can get crowded. There is a wide variety of arcade games and pinball machines with various wait times depending on the crowd. They also have plenty of large screens all around that run games, movies, and or music videos. Drinks at the bar aren't bad and like others have mentioned, the bartenders can be a hit or miss. I've encountered several chill bartenders, others not so much. Same goes for the security at the entrance. Overall, Emporium is a fun venue to check out if you are in the area.

    I lived in the area for most of my life, and I don't remember this billiards hall.  I was recently…read morewalking by and I stumbled into it.  Perhaps I just don't remember it being there.  I believe the building used to be a Bank of America building back in the day. I enjoy playing billiards here.  It is a respectful, clean, and nice billiards hall. Not like the dungeon shady billiards that exist in San Francisco. The staff are friendly too.  Especially Joe! A few things that would make the place better are lighting the overhead, " Town and Country Billiards sign outside above the entrance, and with the entrance step light.  The working overhead  light sign would attract more patrons. The non-working entrance light can pose a hazard, potentially leading to someone falling on the steps due to poor lighting and visibility.

    As someone who truly wants to see cue sports grow, I left disappointed with my visit here. The last…read moretime I came was back in the early 2000s, when this place was lively and well-kept. Back then, the wall cues were usable--you only needed to check if one was straight. This time (August 2025), not a single wall cue was in playable condition. Many had cracked ferrules, and the felt on the table shifted under my bridge hand. For $10/hr, I was charged $8.25 for only 20 minutes of table time, which felt unreasonable. What really concerns me is the bigger picture. If a newcomer curious about pool stumbled into this environment, I doubt they'd want to come back. Facilities like this should be introducing people to the fun and quality of cue sports--not turning them away.
