I found a few places in San Jose to shoot pool. When booking a hotel for San Jose, remember to add California so you don't get a great deal from Kayak and find you paid for a night in San Jose, Cost Rica, like we did!

Nguyen Trai Billiards
If you're into billiards, you might want to go here. It's a little smokey, though. Guys smoking and gambling in the corner. Everyone usually minds their own business. Great Vietnamese Banh Mi food. Billiard tables are in excellent shape and blue felt. Hours 10:30 - 12

West Side Billiards
This is not for serious shooters. Great burgers, but the carpet and felt on the tables is pretty worn out. Young couples hang here on dates.
