It's just off one of the Main Street. I haven't spent anytime in this city so everything was all new to me. We found street parking right out front but did noticed when we got inside that they had a parking lot out back. The place isn't that big. A dive bar of sort but was quite nice. One side is the bar and counter while the other side host three pool tables. There's also a couple of hi top table in the middle. They did offer happy hour everyday from 4-8 pm with free pool. And free pool Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Drinks specials offered as well. We only popped in for a drink which was glad to know that happy hour was happening. The bartender behind was sweet. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. Bartender and a couple people utilizing the pool table. It was pretty chill but I'm sure it can get busy later on in the evening. Drinks specials offered were quite nice for the price. We also tried their spicy margaritas which was great. Bartender knows his skills. Also, a quick round of pool. The vibe was mellow and chill. Don't know if the music changes often but it was somewhat metal that was going on when we walked in. Crowd was great as they were all there for the same reason. Drinks and pool. Overall, it was a cool place for a pint and pool. Somewhere people meet up for drinks.

The ambience is warm and inviting, with a clean, sleek design that makes the whole place feel upscale without being pretentious. The tables are in excellent condition: level, well-lit, and clearly maintained with care. Whether you're practicing serious shots or just enjoying a casual game with friends, the setup is perfect. There's plenty of space between tables, so you never feel crowded or rushed. The staff at Noir Billiards are fantastic--friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything you need, from setting up a table to offering quick guidance if you're new to the game. Prices are fair, especially considering the quality of the environment and service. Noir Billiards strikes a great balance between a chill hangout spot and an elevated night out. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax, compete, or just enjoy a great game of billiards in a polished atmosphere.

The place is otherwise filled with billiards tables. The hosts are nice, but the place smells surprisingly strong of smoke though it wasn't filled with it. Don't get me wrong, I've been to pool halls before and I've smelled smoke, but this place was a little over powering. It wasn't dimly lit either (which I kind of like) and the pool tables are a little old. Though if you like billiards you'd like this place because it has nice new looking tables. Give it 2 1/2 stars

We were in high school and this guy we knew (dude became a loser who went back to our HS to pick up girls when he was in college, so you know the type) was the only one who could drive us places. We were supposed to go to some weeb event, but HE TOOK US HERE, without telling us, tried to teach us how to play pool to show off how good he was and to gaslight us and tell us that hot girls knew how to play pool, MADE US pay for the games, and then made us super late for our anime event. Regardless of all of that introductory prose, the cost is affordable for even high school students pooling (haha, get it) whatever little money we had then, definitely affordable now as a working adult (though I have zero interest in any sports ball in any form), and the staff were friendly enough. Equipment is well maintained, nothing is super scuffed, aside from light conversation and the hitting of the balls, it's not super loud. No massive amount of cigarette smoke like other locations. Pretty chill. Parking in this plaza can be a human nightmare though, especially since it's hard and awkward to get into as it's at a super busy road and there's so many businesses in this plaza, so keep that in mind.

I liked that the place has A/C, unlike the one in Alhambra. We came in, checked in and got our billiards. Sticks are on the wall to choose from. There were about 20 pool tables there, some bigger than others. When we got there at 3pm on a Friday, half of the tables were filled. Place is clean and mostly male players but everyone just kept to themselves. My husband says the tables are pretty nice and well maintained (apparently he play a lot of pool in his day ). We got hungry before our hour was up so we brought back the billiards to the front and he calculated our total based on our time there. It was less than $10 for about 45 minutes of play. That's pretty good! Will be back for more pool in the future.
