The service there was excellent. The people working there were very nice. They brought out our food and drinks immediately.

Nice hall. Nice ambience. Great drink selection. Tables well-kept. Employees are all very nice and helpful. Get there early as it does get crowded! read more

Had an excellent time playing pool with my friends after a dinner! This lot is next to the closed down Joanne's and has lots of parking and next to a plaza for food! They have their rates posted, and it's good to play 1-2 hours. They pro-rate the time if you're under or over the hour. The staff was nice; the atmosphere was chill with vintage music in the background. Lots of people enjoying the games from a younger crowd to older adults. Would come here again! Wasn't too busy for a Tuesday night around 9 pm. read more

Came to this spot jot too long ago. I actually thought it was closed down until I was invited this month. Surprised to see that it's up and going. It's clean inside, tables and cue sticks even chalks are well maintained. Carpet and tables are clean. Lighting is even great. Not too dark. And the people are there to play. Decent crowd. Respectful and mind their business. There's even an elite section. We ordered from the bar and just tap but cups and pitcher were clean. (This matters a lot to me). Please to say I'd like to come back. I'm read more

Love this place & the manager 10/10 recommend good vibes , good snacks & great atmosphere.

I haven't been here for years but recently got reminded of this place so decided to drop in and give it a go! Didn't try the food but the nachos definitely looked delicious so I'll try that next time. They had a good selection of sour beers as well as other craft beers here so that's definitely a plus for me! Tables were well kept I definitely will be back soon! read more

Cuetopia Billiard Cafe - Pool Halls Near Me - San Jose, California

Pretty fun place to play pool, my main complaint is that the tables and the cues are well worn. I wish they could have some better equipment, but they've been around for a while, and it's not like there are immediate competitors in the near vicinity. The staff is super nice and friendly, and it's overall just a chill vibe. The drink menu is pretty standard and not too outrageous. The parking situation is awesome though, it's located in the corner of a huge plaza with plenty of parking spaces. It does get kind of dark at night if you are worried about that, but I don't think it's too bad at all and you can part just right next to the place. It's a casual place to go if you want to play pool. I've never had to wait for a pool table though, which is really nice. read more

01-02-2026 We came here for the first time to celebrate. They staff was very friendly. The billiards was clean and well lite. The restrooms are well maintained. Could use new carpeting or an annual carpet cleaning. The prices for playing pool are clearly displayed at the entrance. The house rules are also clearly displayed. No one was smoking inside so that's a big plus. Someone was outside near the door smoking and every time someone opened the door some cigarette or weed smell came in and lingered. I saw customers had food (Nachos & Hot Dogs). There are small wall tables and stools near each table. There are also plenty of trash cans at every table. I did not see any prices for food or drink. I especially did not see the prices for can or bottled beer. To my surprise after ordering 6 bottles, I asked the manager during my next order. I was shocked and figured oh well this will only happen once, beer is $8.00 ea. I spent $72.00 for beer alone. 2 Hours of pool time. The juke box is also expensive. $ 0.50 per song. If you are going to only play pool, it's a very nice place to go. Plenty of tables and fellow customers are respectful to the shooter at the nearby tables. If you want food and drink get it from somewhere else due undisclosed high cost. I would come back to play pool. After paying those crazy high prices for beer I feel like I paid my Initiation fee. read more

9/10! This pool place is top-tier! Ever since I got into pool, this is hands down one of the best spots I've been to. I first checked it out a couple of months ago and the service blew me away. Everyone, from the customers to the employees, is super friendly. The prices are fair and they charge by the hour (don't hold me to that, though). My friends and I hit this place up every weekend and I have zero regrets about stumbling upon this hidden gem in San Jose. I haven't tried the food or drinks, but my buddies who've had the alcohol say it's decent. All in all, this place is a winner. It's a great spot to hang with friends and family, or just chill and play board games at the front tables. The place is spacious has lots of tables, and the music is always fresh, and there's a great mix of tunes. Highly recommend!! read more

A great place to play pool! I've been to a few other billiards locations in the area and definitely enjoy Cuetopia the most. It is a large space with plenty of room for groups and a lot of parking available. They are open from 5pm-2am everyday. Cuetopia has at least 20 pool tables, arcade games, digital jukebox, snacks, beer, and sodas. Reasonably priced for all there is to enjoy there. The staff I've met so far have been friendly & provided great service. Will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely amazing experience at Cuetopia! The staff were very welcoming and the vibes were 100% up to par. The space is perfect for a small-medium group; there's plenty of tables in the showroom. The jukebox is digital (which was a nice touch) so you can control from your table. Drink menu was great, even got to try an IPA I haven't seen on the shelves! Pricing was great, not too expensive for 2 games (they charge by the time you spend there). Parking is accessible as it's in a fairly large plaza and there are plenty spots to eat within walking distance. Overall had a great time and definitely would be back! read more

If you're not a seasoned pool player, this is a good enough spot, other than that: They don't have regulation sized balls. You come here during summer or rainy days, it's damp and humid. You try to ask for a good table to practice on with tighter pockets, they won't give it to you unless you pay a $230 monthly membership. Even Cal Billiards and Jimmy's Billiards (or Edgie's Billiards pre-covid) who had better equipment and conditions wouldn't even charge that crazy of a price let alone exclude people from tables. I came here only because it was close to work to do some quick drills before a major tournament. After coming here, I remembered why I hated it. Extra large pockets, tiny balls. read more

This place hasn't changed in decades. The men's room stinks. Cues suck. Table felt could use replacing. Beers are good. I like this place, even though I just trashed it. read more

Place is horrible !! Right from the get the whole place messed like ass!! And the staff was unbearable! Completely rude and lack of common decency! The ambiance was okay it's just smelled like body odor! Wish I could give it zero stars , but yeah read more

A fun spot to play some pool. the tables aren't in disrepair, but this place does feel a little dirty. The bathrooms smell funky and I wish there was a better mirror inside. The staff is pretty nice and there is a good selection of bottled drinks. read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming to Cuetopia way before our relationship started. When he came back on leave after two years from the military, we of course had to have a reunion with friends at Cuetopia! The staff here are friendly and amazing, the service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend for a game of pool! read more

I don't really write reviews, but I feel the necessity to do so. The last few times I've visited Cuetopia customer service has been the worst. I've been going to Cuetopia since 2009 and since Ken and Terry left the place just isn't the same. Rose in particular is very unfriendly and in my opinion has made that place A lot more unenjoyable with the staff she has helping her as well. I left my number there to pass along to Ken because I would like to talk to him about my past few experiences. So hopefully he gets my number. If not, he reads this message because again I'm not one to do reviews, but I've been going to their place of business longer than Rose has worked there and I just felt really mistreated the last few times so I felt the need to share. Thanks. read more

This place is AMAZING!! We wanted a go to billiards to play with the family and we got it! Drinks, Nachos, hot links, hot dogs and pool....what more can you ask for. This place was everything we needed and highly recommended for everyone else. 5 Stars all the way read more

This place has been around for years but billiards are not my thing so I never found myself here. I came acouple months ago with my bf, his friend and the gf. Me and the gf played some darts but mostly sat, watched the boys and gossiped. I love that they sell chips, hot dogs, and beers. They did have air hockey which was cool. There were so many different people who were there that night. A jukebox. Everyone was just having a good time. Prices are reasonable. Lots of regulars because people knew one another. read more

This was a fun spot to come through with a group of friends and play billiards, the staff delivered excellent customer service, and they have some small bites and cold beer on tap, not too much else needs to be said. I will definitely be back again! read more

As hard as it is to find a billiards hall in Santa Clara County these days, I've only recently visited Cuetopia. They've been around for some time based on the exterior of the building. Inside, there are 25 tables to laid out in a room with nothing else eliciting any type of emotion. For $19/hr for two people to play, I neither found it overly expensive nor a good value. There were several cue sticks that weren't straight and the table we were playing on had some warping so we noticed some lateral run on struck balls along one of the rails. I went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't crowded at all, just a no frills place to kill an hour or two. read more

They're OPEN! What a great gem for a family friendly place. Joshua welcomed our 2 groups of teens and tweens and took care of us from "hello". Our younger ones didn't know how to play pool so Joshua even came over to help out the boys & show them how to set up in a cool way that made them feel comfortable. He set up our older teens in a nice separate room too! Great vibe here. Fun for all ages. Great management. So glad they are open. Strongly recommend this place for all ages. Good music, clean, friendly staff, couldn't ask for more! read more

Very dirty place. Smells bad please keep it clean and maybe people won't complain. The whole place is unsanitary

Cool place! Well lit and good vibes, with lots of tables. Was cash only when I went, which was a bit of a bummer, but fine. I'd definitely recommend if you have the itch to play pool. read more

Do you have tweens or teens to keep entertained? This is a destination for inexpensive fun, especially between the hours of Noon and 4pm, the price is half off! There are plenty of well-maintained pool tables, cues, balls and chalk. The restrooms and the rest of the establishment are clean. The clientele are just regular folks, not sketchy as I had imagined or I would have tried this place out long ago. After shooting some pool, the boys played foosball, four quarters per game, I think that's for ten balls. I didn't play, I suck something bad at foosball. However, I'll give it a go on the electronic dart game next time. Speaking of electronics, I was wondering why their music playlist was so eclectic. They use the AMI Music app, so you can have some control over the song selection. There's a snack/beverage area, comfy couches, stools, counter space, tv's throughout. I love the layout of Cuetopia! I appreciate the awesome front desk lady who seemed to be doing everything on her own. I asked her to turn on the hockey game, since basketball was on later; she's so nice and promptly changed the channel for me. Cuetopia is located off of Almaden Expressway & Branham Lane. It's near the Safeway and JoAnn's Fabrics, but towards the back, with plenty of parking spots. For sure, we'll be playing pool and keeping cool here during summer break! read more

I took my kids and a few of their friends early in the afternoon during a rainy day & it was a hit. It would look a lot better if they would just change the carpet - seems kind of gross- to laminate flooring. But that's just me!!! I was with kids but the nice thing was that there were a few other younger kids with their relatives two tables over. We just rented the tables for pool, and went elsewhere for food. kids had a great time!!! read more

Pretty cool spot on a Saturday night . I was impressed how they clean the tables after your done . Staff was super friendly chill vibes

I'm so happy this place is open. Snuggled in the corner of the parking lot with dark windows. The customer service is very down to earth, nice, and respectful. read more

This is a regular spot where me and my friends play pool. It has a very friendly atmosphere and the employees are very nice.

There are plenty of pool tables and parking spaces at this place. Many of you may not know that there's a billiard around the Almaden area because it's somewhat hidden. Keep your eye out for a McDonald's because that's where this place is close to. I almost witnessed a physical fight when I came here. This girl was pretty pissed when another girl turned the light off on her in the bathroom. There was some shouting going on and luckily the pissed girl was calmed down by her boy. Anyhow, I'm glad things didn't get out of hand. While you shoot some pool, you can order some drinks or food. They have a good variety of drinks. The people who work here are very friendly and attentive. If you want to save money, give them a call to see if they have any specials. read more

Decent pool hall. Food is a little too basic and there is no full bar. Tables are level and aren't too chopped up yet. Would be nice to have a few different sized tables and or a couple higher end tables and cues. read more

I absolutely love this place! I took my sons to play pool here and we had a 10 out of 10 experience. I have a feeling we will become regulars overtime. The owners have created a wonderful service to society by creating this perfect pool hall! read more

Nice date spot. Pretty standard pool lounge. They keep the place looking decent and it's pretty inexpensive. Wondering why they call it a cafe? Will be back! read more

Went here on a Saturday night and there were plenty of tables available. The staff was very friendly and the vibe was chill. They have plenty of pool tables and a couple of foosball tables. Very fun place for a Saturday night! read more

They have lots of tables here! There's a juke box for choosing music, and some of the oldest, smallest TVs I've seen in a long time. If they made some upgrades to this place (new, bigger TVs, late night happy hour, new carpeting/doors), then it'd be crackin'! I asked for a pitcher of beer and they said they'd bring it to my pool table. That's nice of them to offer that, but they never did that. I had to go up there again to ask for the pitcher after 30 minutes of waiting. The dude just forgot. read more

Good place to play pool. Plenty of tables and reasonably priced. No AC so it gets stuffy inside and it smells a little raunchy. They do serve beer so that makes it bearable LOL! Not a bad place though. I'll be back again. read more

This place is COOL, but could be COOL-ER if they had A/C! ha ha. Hence, the 4 stars instead of 5. Very laid back and chill environment. They have a lot of beers to choose from. I went with three of my friends. The total ended up a little over $30 for four people. That included two beers and a Snapple. Not bad at all! This place is great for all ages. I saw some younger groups to older people playing solo. Oh yeah, they also have darts, air hockey, and foosball! It was my first time playing pool...so I'd be back just to get more practice and beat my friends. :) read more

Always a pleasure playing here. A little busy but one should expect that on a Friday. Josh and Angie were pleasant as always! Will be back soon. read more

Yay! A pool place with no credit card minimum and only $6.50/hr for one player. They use Brunswick tables that play nicely and are taken care of. They have tables in the front and back. Looks like there's more room in the back. The arcade room is pretty cool with couches and all. Lots of fooseball too. And yes there's an actually cafe at front where you order food and sit down. Overall I think this is a nice place. 50% playing time charges during the weekdays from noon to 4pm. A nice deal I say especially if you like shooting pool like me. Too bad there's nothing like this in San Francisco. I have no idea why this is listed under furniture store though... They do have furniture, but they don't sell that. read more

I've been here on two separate occasions, both times have been fun and pleasant! The first time I went, my friend had a bad day at work so we decided to find a random place to have a beer and play some pool to get his mind off of his terrible shift. The owner of the place is a young, chipper guy haha. Friendly guy. I'd like to say you pay by the hour or minute to play on the tables, but I wouldn't know because my friend paid on both occasions haha. They've got a variety of beers, great selection. They even have foosball tables. The first time we went, it was a bit of an older crowd. It was a Monday after midnight, I believe. The second time we went was on a Thursday night with a much, much younger crowd. Everyone becomes friendly and it turns into a great bar scene haha. You pay to play music on the juke box, updated music selection. The outside is a bit sketch. It's hidden in the back, in the dark. There are homeless and sketchy people outside. Don't go outside by yourself! Always a good time here. read more
