The best without question is the California Billiard Club in Mountain View, about 10 miles up the freeway from the San Jose Airport, and is easily worth the drive. Also in that area is Shoreline Billiards.

Shoreline is good. If you have a car, drive to Mountain View to California Billiards, not too far. Check out the WorldPPA website tournament list, there are a few other spots that have OK tables (Cuetopia) and Bob runs a good tournament system.
Cal is the best in terms of equipment and eats and drinks. Cal has a full kitchen.
Shoreline is ok as is Edgies. Both have food but the food is so so because they do not have a full kitchen and only serve beer.
Also if you would like to watch some 3 cushion, Edgies has the most 3 cushion players and tables in the area.
I play at either Edgies or Cal.

I haven't been to Cutopia in a while, but I think 4.5". Most of halls in the Southern Bay Area use Brunswicks. You won't generally find Diamonds out here.
As for the table price that's a normal price out here, all the halls out here are priced similarly. It's just the cost of doing business in California, plus the extra cost of doing business in Silicon Valley. Just as with pool... Eating, rent, hotels, seeing a movie, fuel, etc.. it's all more expensive.
In the case of home and rent it's mind-boggling, and those pool halls have to pay the lease somehow.
These tight enough? Edgies has a table that will make you cry, give up pool and take up competitive basket weaving. Here is a look inside the place. http://www.google.com/maps?layer=c&...ce-image-link&cd=1&resnum=2&ved=0CAsQ2hQoADAB

Cuetopia has a few tables with 4.5" pockets, I think tables 1-4, but ask to make sure. They offer half price pool before 4pm, if you can make it then.
Shoreline also has a couple tables that are tighter than 4.5"; again, ask if you want them and I'm sure they'd be happy to put you on them. I've seen them put bangers on those tables when everything else was full and it's rather amusing.
