Wondering where to find the best pool halls near you?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best places to do a Minnesota Fats or Kelly Fisher imitation in San Diego, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to satisfy that urge.
1. Black Cat Bar
Topping the list is Black Cat Bar. Located at 4246 University Ave. (between Van Dyke Avenue and 42nd Street) in Teralta West, the bar, live music venue and pool hall is the highest-rated, low-priced pool hall in San Diego, boasting 4.5 stars out of 106 reviews on Yelp. In addition to a pair of pool tables, the spot experiences frequent sightings of an actual black cat (at least according to some patrons).
2. The Silver Fox
Next up is Pacific Beach's The Silver Fox, at 1833 Garnet Ave. (between Kendall and Lamont streets). With four stars out of 256 reviews on Yelp, the dive bar/pool hall has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a cheap time out. Beyond an attention-grabbing faux leopard skin carpet, its amusements include three pool tables, an electronic dartboard, video games and pinball machines.
3. Pockets Billiards & Brew
Pockets Billiards & Brew in Kearny Mesa is another much-loved, budget-friendly go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 52 Yelp reviews. Players can choose from a dozen 7-foot tables or two 9-foot tables, along with 16 beers on draft. Head over to 5610 Kearny Mesa Road (at Magnatron Boulevard) to check it out for yourself.
4. O Billiard Cafe
And then there's O Billiard Cafe, another Kearny Mesa favorite with four stars out of 86 reviews. Stop by 4887 Convoy St. (between Ronson and Raytheon roads) to hit up the pool hall and cafe next time you're in the mood for cheap eats. Its tables include regular and bar boxes, Diamond and snooker.
