This is a fun and entertaining place. No pun intended. It's relaxing and just the sounds of pool balls hitting each other. Plenty of space to move around and not hit each other's sticks. The bathrooms are clean and get the job done. On any busy day or evening, expect to find street parking or park across the street of el camino. The parking lot is small.

Ended up on live music event with a country guy (don’t remember his name). Music and drinks are awesome. Totally recommend!

We arrived at exactly 10:45 AM to play billiards, and they told us we would have to wait 10 minutes. I understand they were busy. When I asked again at 11:10 AM, and then again around 11:13 AM because tables were becoming available, they said the tables were currently full. Then, when I asked again at 11:14 AM, they said they wouldn't be taking any more customers after 11:15 AM. Six of us had to go back home. I've never had such a bad experience anywhere else. If the owner of this establishment is reading this, believe me, I'm not exaggerating. Please check the cameras and give your cashier a lesson in customer service.

The Great entertainer is a landmark billiard hall that's been operating since the early '80s. The majority of the tables are Brunswick gold crown 3's maintained by the greatest table mechanic in the world Ernesto Dominguez. Just billiard Hall is a family friendly fun place to go and shoot some pool play some ping pong hang out with some friends eat some good food but it's also a pool players pool hall. There's nine ball and or eight ball tournaments on Monday nights. Go check it out you won't be disappointed.
