Decor & Clientele: This place looks like the methhead-version of the bar used to film the hit 80s TV show, Cheers. That being said, this is roughy what you'd expect from a pool hall in the valley. Billiards: The billiards tables here don't seem to have the worn-out felt that I've seen at plenty of inferior billiards halls. Some of the pool cues could probably be replaced but overall, the equipment here seemed satisfactory. Food/Drinks: Beers are served in a chilled glass, it's very much appreciated. read more

Plush Pocket - Pool Halls Near Me - Northridge, California

It was my first time here and I went with some friends. It was nice environment. Came on a Thursday so less people thank god. We got to have our own space. Down side is right when I walked-in it smelled like pee. They only have beer which was a bummer. I wish they had a full bar but it's good because there was no loud people. Everyone minded their own space and didn't bother us. The music is okay. I wish they played less EDM songs. The bartender guy didn't really explain to us how they will charge us whether it is per hour, person, or game. When I asked he stated it depends on how many people. I got a vague answer. I recommended this place because it was not crowded. It is not too loud so you can talk with your friends. For 5 people we paid $36 we were there for less than 2 hours. read more

Lol, 18 year olds need a parent or guardian to play pool after 5. How stupid. Hope this place goes down.

I heard Aaron Estrada comes here, well, he better not be there when Iam there or he will get his butt kicked all over those tables. Lol read more

Been here a handful of times now. And each time has been great. There is a juke box and slot of people go up and make selections leading to a vide variety of vibes. Pitchers of beer $15.25. They have hourly tables as we las 3 quarter tables. It's $1.00 a game for the quarters well worth it if you play like a sloth like myself. If you happen to be in the area stop by for a beer and game. read more

Plush Pocket - Pool Halls Near Me - Northridge, California

Been coming here for years. Great staff. Great tables. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Newly renovated bathrooms. Snacks just in case you get hungry. Family friendly. read more

This place is Huge. I can tell you that from my initial visit I was expecting this place to be a small sketch little pool hall with some questionable looking people hanging around. I was making assumptions based on the outside but once we opened the doors we were shocked to see how big of a pool hall this place was and how very wrong I was. I believe they had around 25 pool tables or more fitting in here with plenty of seating stools and enough spacing so people could enjoy their game. They had a bar which appeared to only serve 5 or 6 beers on tap. Out of the beer that they did serve, I think they do a really good job of maintaining their lines because I can tell you the beer tasted better here than at alot of fancy bars I've been to. Saturday night prices seemed to be $22 to $25 an hour so it might not be the cheapest but hey its local, clean and friendly so i would go again. read more

This place is alright. I went a few nights ago. It was a bit smelly, liked some one peed in some corner. But it's pretty chill atmosphere in there. Plenty of TV's. They have a jukebox which is a plus! A game will run you about 6 bucks per per per hour. They have plenty of tables to play. They sell beer on top, no liquor. Pitchers. Small selection. They dont serve food. Might have some snacks. Plenty of parking. Open late. read more

Contrary to the other review, I like Plush Pocket I like it just fine :) been a patron for a little over a year. There are plenty of tables, they do only serve beer (on tap and bottled) and soft drinks, and they also offer food to munch on, like hots dogs, and sandwiches, and your usual snacks like chips and stuff. Chuy, the attendant is a friendly guy, always greets us when we come in, and knows exactly what we like to drink. They have a jukebox, with perhaps yes a little outdated tracks, but that's what makes it fun! You're shooting pool and all of a sudden "Please don't go girl" by the New Kids on The Block comes on, and you and your friends laugh, and start singing along..bah, maybe I'm just a big dork and get amused easily, but anyway Plush Pocket I love thee! read more

went here last weekend. This place is a POS. They don't have a large selection of beer, and they don't have a full bar, just beer and sodas i believe. I paid $9 for a big corona bottle...which usually costs 4-5 elsewhere. My friend ordered a game of pool, which was $16. the "bartender" was kind of rude. won't ever go back. read more

This place is amazing. The tables are super clean and there are so many to pick from! Pricing is good too! Leagues meet here and it's awesome to get tips from people who know what they are doing! Steve is the best! read more

The Plush Pocket in Northridge reminds me of the old time pool halls that I used to frequent. The tables are well maintained and the staff is friendly. They serve quite a few beers and have some small snacks as well. If you are an avid pool player you will enjoy this place and watching some of the regulars run the table for practice. If you are someone who needs video games and BS from other tables, this is not for you. This place caters to the pool player, not the kids that want to walk around the pool hall attempting to get noticed. read more

I know everything about pool. I know nothing about pool, but I know what meticulous upkeep, good service without smarmy talk, and convenience are. Plush Pocket is comfortable. If you suck at pool, you can comfortably suck in a corner or abstain from sucking altogether by having a seat on one of Plush's many comfortable chairs. You can drink beer out of a chilled mug. You can watch sports and chomp on pretzels. You can challenge people who are way better than you and grandly embarrass yourself. You can act creepy, but no one will like you. The common denominator between all of my favorite places is authenticity. Save the pomp and bs, let's see what you really look like. And people, Plush looks fine as hell. read more

Plenty of tables open on a late Saturday afternoon. A few beers on tap. Bartender was nice and funny!

No food served, great parking area. Friendly staff and players. If you are a serious player the front row tables are there with tight pockets, you are accused to be a gambler once you step in there with a nice set of cue and cue case. Many pros go there to play. I left my ID card and after a few days went there and they have kept it in a safe place for me which I appreciated that. A bit pricy for renting a table but I guess it is the reputation! They are packed most of the nights. read more

Solid Tables - They have the full size 9 footers but they also had 3 baby tables for quarters. I guess that's good for the beginners. Beer only and some light snakes like Hot Dogs and Sandwiches. Chewy there is always nice and friendly. No bouncers so they probably don't get a lot of drunk idiots. They hold league games there as well. Overall, a nice quaint place to shoot pool. read more

I came here with my boyfriend on a date. A fight broke out between two men who's tables were too close together and the bartender/cashier didn't even try to stop it. Good entertainment I guess. Would come back... but only when it's less crowded. read more

Me and my friends came there to have a bit of fun and the pool tables were only by the hour and it is $18 for an hour and we were there for only 30 minutes and they charged us $13 wtf that isn't half of $18 it was only supposed to be $9 they are some stingy motherfuckers and they charged us more than they should have don't go to this pool house if it was the last place on earth read more

This place is average at best Its a bit hidden which lets it not be so crowded most of the time its good if you don't want to wait some time to get a table They dont sever food they have snacks that you can purchase like peanuts and off brand chips Atmosphere is decent there sometimes is random music playing it goes from hip hop to mariachi music real quick which i find weird But overall prices are good Good place to go if your just looking to hangout with friends maybe catch a game since they have multiple tvs read more

Cool place to play pool, laidback chill vibe going on , they have TVs to watch the game, drink prices are reasonable overall a great experience will definitely go back read more

Excellent establishment! The service is great! That's what I look for in a bar. SERVICE!!! Be respectful to Chewy (the manager) and you will have a good night. read more

Went here last night and had a good time up until it was time to pay. we got told our bill amount and asked if they could give us an itemized list of charges because the bill was pretty high. They then proceeded to get annoyed by my questions and concern as to why our bill was high. The manger then took a pad and began to handwrite the apparent charges. Bartender and manager insisted we got there at 8:15pm, when we actually arrived at 10:15, if not later. They they told us we ordered 5 pitchers when we actually only ordered 2. Then I began to ask the bartender and manager how they came up with those numbers and they sounded fluster and still could not prove there assumption we're correct. I then ask the manager to prove me wrong and look at the video footage from the camera that sits right above the bar. He refused. By the end of the discussion we still ended up being over charged an extra pitcher of beer. So if u plan to visit this pool bar in the future be sure to keep your own tap of all purchases, as well as your arrive time. read more

The old bartenders and workers were great, idk what the new girls name is (that's been there for a month) but she is BEYOND rude. My friend cut his hand on the table and asked for a band aid (which should be their responsibility to provide in a situation like that) and she laughed then told him "don't worry it'll stop bleeding." Later, I went to the owner to explain what happened me ask again for a bandaid and NOT ONLY did they have a whole drawer of bandaids but the owner had no interest in what I was saying nor did he care that his employee was rude. The place was boring and empty anyways. I definitely recommend going somewhere else if you're looking to have a good time. There's a billiards place close by on topanga cyn and Sherman way that has never treated me with disrespect and is always busy and everyone is having a good time. GO THERE. NOT HERE. read more

Best place to play pool in Valley, good tables, good choice of beer, ice cold frosty glasses. tv's everywhere. Pool heaven

Great pool hall. The tables are well kept and the felt runs well. They have a few quarter operated Diamond tables if you're preparing for tournaments. If you're going to spend a few hours there, I recommend getting one of their pastrami sandwiches. Been playing going here for about 5 years. read more

I will give it to them the place has a lot of pool tables, is very clean and for the location has a lot of parking and food choices around. You can bring food inside. I was just disappointed they only had a couple bar sized tables that I'm use to playing on. They were all taken up with players so I was forced to play on the larger 9 foot tables they have a billion of, which I just didn't enjoy. If you love playing pool in bars, and are not use to the larger 9 foot tables, this place is not for you. ... The beer selection was thin, not much to choose from, decently priced though. No wine no liqueur, so if you don't drink beer, your not drinking, sorry! The first bartender didn't seem like he understood me when I asked him about a beer, the second bar tender right before I left was very talkative and nice though. read more

Pretty cool spot - a little more pricey than I initially thought but pretty cool nontheless. Lots of tables, good beer on tap. The music is iffy - all radio friendly nothing. read more

I have been coming here for about 7 yrs. Now. People are friendly if u are friendly with them. It is kinda pricey.. OK real pricey. It basically a local spot with the same old men that come in on the same days and on the weekends is when it's hoppin! read more

Great tables well maintained, good service one of my favorites billiard places

Plush Pocket is not the liveliest place on the planet but it is great for cheap beer (about $8-9 a pitcher), nice tables and a pretty chill environment. Been going here for years with my boys and still enjoy it. Don't expect too many women to mingle with - although the weekends are better than weekdays. read more

I've been going here for years and the service is great. The tables are clean and smooth. The music is terrible only because they don't play it unless you want to pay for the overpriced jukebox. read more

Ehhh...a cool place to play pool and drink beer. Looks kinda dumpy though. Not the best part of town. There are plenty of tables, parking and cheap beer! =) read more

Cool place to hangout near home. We've always had chill nights there.. BUT recently we've gone and the bar tender ( older bald man, I should have gotten his name ) is very sour and rude u could say.. he's just not in the mood to be there! If we continue coming here It would be just because it's near our home. read more

Its a chill hole in the wall pool hall. Maybe no pool hall junkies but most likely some junkies. Decent beer selection and prices. Its your normal everyday neighborhood pool hall. read more

It's a normal billiards place!! The tables are so close one to another. Sometimes they charge differently so you gotta keep an eye on the timing yourself. Other than that it's good read more

I'm new to the area and think I found my go to spot. Everyone there seemed like they were having a blast. I know for sure my friend and I had a good time. He sucks at pool but hey.. some people got it and some people don't. hahahaha just kidding. But anyway, good place, good vibes and excellent smiles! Lori, if you read this... i think your super beautiful and can't wait to bring friends around this place. Mahalos!!!! \m/ read more
