Breakin’ balls since 1943
One of San Jose’s first pool halls
Step into the time machine at Westside Billiards, where our story began way back in 1943. Since then, we’ve evolved into a beloved family-owned establishment, serving up excitement at our current location right on the edge of downtown San Jose. You might have even seen us when we were featured in the 1989 movie Kiss Shot starring Whoopi Goldberg. And let’s not forget our claim to fame – the legendary Westside Jalapeño Burger. Enjoy our newly renovated space, sip on one of our eight draft beers, play on our classic Brunswick Gold Crown pool tables, and experience the thrill of Westside Billiards!

Family owned and operated
Established in 1981, Westside Billiards stands as a testament to a rich family legacy in the world of pool. The story begins in 1943 when George’s father pioneered the local scene with the iconic “Cue & Cushions” pool hall on 2nd and San Fernando. Following in his father’s footsteps, George, alongside his wife Yvette Tsbaoukos, introduced Westside Billiards to the community, creating a hub for enthusiasts and novices alike.
A great night out!
