    CASH ONLY but they have an indoor ATM. Limited draft and bottle beer selection, from your typical Mexican or American beers with prices ranging at around $7ish per bottle to $24 for pitcher (at time of this visit). There are plenty of pool tables plus a couple carambola (pocketless tables). It's a good spot for groups with a fun and chill vibe. This night group age ranged from mostly young 20's to ac few 50+ year olds. Restrooms are limited one per gender. There's 2hr limited street parking but also a private parking lot available. Food is typical bar food; burgers, hot dogs, wings, fries, etc. Costumer service is a hit or miss, I guess depending on the crowds vibe. Overall fun place. Pay attention and keep track of your time so there aren't any surprises on your bill.

    After all these decades I finally stopped by this place with a neighbor to shoot some pool on a Tuesday night. This place has been a staple of Alhambra for decades but I don't know what year it opened. It was pretty busy too which surprised me but we didn't have to wait for a table. It will cost you 16 bucks an hour for two players which isn't too bad for some entertainment. The beers are a bit pricey but you can get a pitcher of beer for 24 bucks which will end up being a better deal than buying individual glasses. It's a nice chill ambiance with friendly patrons and workers. The only thing I didn't like was that there was no liquid soap in the restroom. When we left at 930pm more people were coming in - they stay open until 200am.

    CASH ONLY!! This place is so fun! It cost anywhere between $16-$30 to play pool and get one table. The pricing is supposed to be determined by how long you stay and how many people are at a table and playing with you, but it seems like they don't really keep track of that. We had a fairly large group and ended up playing one game and it cost a total of $30. Not bad if you divided up between everyone, but we were expecting the price to be about 20, so the way they get their total is kind of shady. They have beer and really good hotdogs, they grill their buns, which makes them really yummy! This is a fun and different thing to do around the LA area, especially if you like a more laid-back environment with some cheap food and drink options.

    Chill spot to play some pool. Inside is simple, no frills. Plenty of pool tables, spacing in between is a bit tight. They only got fans along the walls so it can feel a bit warm in there. There's a jukebox for music. They have a small selection of beers and they do pitchers. They also have food. Service was ok. Cash only. There's street parking or a small lot in the back.

    My go to place for now, chill place and cool people. The tables are clean and the equipment is good enough for casual play. Has AC and fans.

    Best billiards spot in LA. Very spacious, nice dim lighting and has good snacks and drinks to keep you playing all night.

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 place itself has a really cool vibe, kind of an old brick, industrial style that gives it character. We had a private outdoor room in the back, which was a great setup for a party. They also had games available, which added to the fun. For a Saturday night around 7:30-8:00 p.m., it wasn't overly crowded, There was plenty of parking, and most of the staff were welcoming, attentive, and quick with service. Drink prices were reasonable too,. The only downside, and honestly a big one for me, is the food situation. If you want food, You're required to order from the restaurant next door due to their contract (according to security at the door), and the prices are pretty steep. For example, $32 for 12 chicken wings with no sides just didn't sit right with me. We asked if we could bring in outside food (we were craving pizza), but security said no until the restaurant closes, which was too late for us. Because of that restriction, I probably wouldn't return. It's unfortunate, because the place itself has good vibes and a lot of potential. If they allowed more flexibility with food options, it would make a big difference.
