I really enjoyed myself at this place. It's a cool spot to shoot pool and grab a beer. I passed it at first bc I didn't want to stop on San Carlos, but I'm glad dropped in. Me and my wife went here after dinner on one of our date nights. It was a little improvised, but we were pleasantly surprised. They have these Brunswick tables that look like they have a few miles on em. They added character and seemed perfectly in place. My cue was bit crooked, but so be it. I adjusted. I still managed to knock a couple down. They also have a Juke box. I didn't pay much attention to it bc whoever was paying for songs got the mood right. This place has a little nostalgia to it. It feels welcoming and old school. My wife spoke with the owner. She was very polite and kicking ass behind the counter. I didn't try the food bc I had already eaten, but it looked pretty classic. Burger + fries etc. I'm not sure what else they offer. One thing I'd say they're missing is merch. If they would've had a tee or hat with their neon logo I would've bought it. Maybe link up with another San Jose brand for a collab. All in all I see myself going back and if it were a little closer to home I would even become a regular. read more

Revising my review: My partner and I absolutely love this establishment. We've visited this place at least 5 times since we've first ventured here in 2024. We've also brought along our friends and referred this great establishment over other billiards. For me, this place is too amazing that I've intentionally chosen to not visit other local billiards. The fries are a must every time I visit. I truly appreciate the the work and warmth from the owners that goes into running this place. I revoke my previous review only because to be fair, that was just my own personal thoughts--absolutely does not reflect on the business or anyone else but myself. I also super appreciate the beer costs, so my partner and I do consume a good amount. But of course, never to the point (and will never) to desecrate the place. Not like the stories we've heard . Cost is great too. I just absolutely appreciate the care placed into this place, along with the ample space for patrons to play, where people are here to have a good time and no judgment with their billiard level. My partner and I will always continue to go here with our punch card(s) and support this business. The owners are wonderful people--that will never change, and it's what makes this establishment distinguished. read more

Cozy spot for billiards with friends - 8 tables inside. Ample street parking around the area. Owners are friendly, we didn't try the food but could smell it throughout the pool hall (it smelled good!) rates are fair for 1-3 players but more expensive than other places if you have a party of 4 read more

This is a really cool place and I really appreciate the fact that we can choose the songs. The service is already really nice and quick. HOWEVER, the smell is insane. I felt like I was inside a hospital. read more

No wait on a sat, good tables, good food, and attentive staff. Found our new pool hall.

The ttable lights are terrible. There are shadows at the ends of the tables where you cannot see the balls clearly! Also, the jukebox music was so loud that 'you could not thinke straight! Only given `1 piece of very used chalk! read more

Been going here since the last time we saw the place and let me tell you...they are still the best spot to chill and hang out on a Friday or Sat night!!! Got me Garlic fries and best part is, they are serving non alcoholic beer now read more

A friend and myself went here for the first time tonight. The place is super clean and the owners George and Yvette are very nice and welcoming. I have to try the food next time. Another table ordered and it looked delicious. Can't wait to go back. read more

Hands down the best billiard we've been to, we've been to other places that have pool tables but this is the real deal 100%. They have 8 tables and at the time we came in, they spaced us out perfectly so nobody would hit each other (although I'm sure they're all taken during busier times). Drink selection was surprisingly extensive and both my partner and I were able to find something we could enjoy. They also have snacks for anyone who is on the hungry side which I'm sure is helpful for the people who want to hangout longer. We met the owners who were really nice and fun to talk to! We'll definitely be back to enjoy the fun vibes (and practice our pool). read more

Westside Billiards - Our table! - Pool Halls Near Me - San Jose, California

Went there yesterday with my partner and it was SOOOO FUN, and the cheapest date night out we have had by far. A hour of pool + 2 beers = only $33! They had snacks and other drinks available too. Such a gem in the SJ area, and I'm a sucker for the old school furniture/deco. Oh and I didn't get their names but the owners are so kind. read more

I've visited here a few times, I love it family friendly, food is very good. The owners are very friendly and welcoming.

Super great lil spot to get some pool in! The play is affordable and so are the drinks. We were able to get in, have some fun, and get out on a Friday night. The games are on the TVs, the music is good, and the owners are accommodating to your needs. Go!! read more

The owners were very kind and the food was delicious. The tables were well kept with nice felt and the ambience was very nice

Westside Billiards is a great spot to hang out and shoot some pool with friends. I love that their pricing is straightforward ($8 per hour) and doesn't depend on time of day or how many people are playing. There are 2 rows of 4 tables each; the front row by the bar has slower felt and the back row has faster felt. It's nice to have options depending on the style and level of play. Yvette and George are friendly and welcoming and they do a great job running a cozy and retro pool hall. Save some room for the garlic fries and Westside jalapeno burger! read more

Great place to hang with friends. Beer on tap and friendly owners. Wasn't too packed on a Friday night read more

Yvette is the best, we love playing pool here! Whether we come for two tables or one, it's so fun! They also serve beer on tap.

Went here in the evening with some friends. I was pretty hungry so I got the California burger and it was AMAZING! I didn't expect this place to have such good food and such kind owners. George and Yvette served us our food and were very hospital. Pool table was very clean and will definitely come back again! ! read more

Finally got to check out the reopening of West Side Billiards! Right away you're welcomed by the owners, the price is hourly per person or by game I think (don't quote me) but the price is so affordable and their food isn't insanely expensive like other places. They have beers on tap and all kinds of sodas and white claws! I wasn't super hungry so I just shared some chicken strips and french fries. They make everything right there and it was actually really good! Will definitely need to try a burger next time! You can tell they remodeled so has a modern look but still had the old school vintage vibes. They have 8 tables, plenty of seating with tables to eat and chill and more seating in the bar area. Has a very homey feel which is nice to have a spot to just go shoot some pool, eat, drink and hangout. Great friendly service from local owners. read more

Food was really good fresh & hot service was awesome quick & very clean. Friendly staff. Would recommend coming here good atmosphere. read more

Fun place! Cool vibe, good tables, beer! Friendly staff. Amazing value for the price.

Had an awesome time at Westside with a couple of friends. They have a good selection of beers on tap and great staff. The place is nothing fancy, exactly what you'd expect a pool hall to be like. My only critique is that no one told us the rate for the table so when checking out later it was pretty surprising to see a higher tab than I expected. Overall, I'd come again! read more
