Shoreline and Cal are really the only two places worth playing at. There are other rooms littered around the Bay Area, but Shoreline and Cal are head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of the tables/balls/cloth. Mountain View is only about 10-15 mins. from downtown SJ (I assume you're doing the Improv?). Both places are conveniently located right off of freeways.
I will give Shoreline a recommendation...it's where I play almost all of the time.
There is a place right in downtown SJ not far at all from the Improv, but it's not really a poolroom in the sense of there being serious players. It's more of a social/downtown scene kind of place.
Go to California Billiard Club in Mountain View, Ca (small Hollywood Billiards-like pockets on GC's). Say "hi" to Teresa for me :grin-square:
Don't let her push you off a chair!

I have to vote for Edgies in Milpitas, which is close to SJ.
I think the front row of tournament GC tables have tighter pockets and play better than the tables at Cal or shoreline.
8 ball tourney on Tuesday night at 8 and 9 ball on Wednesday at 8. 10 buck entry, double elimination.
This room is also packed with Pinoys and others who love to gamble.

Another for CBC or Shoreline.

You definitely want to hit the California Billiard Club. It's a well thought out and run pool room. In addition to GCIII's the place has 3 snooker tables (2 of which have traditional snooker cloth and the third is covered to play golf), as well as a heated billiard table. I was up there on business recently myself and spent about 4 evenings there and every time I took a table the balls were freshly cleaned and polished.
The smaller section (towards the street) is the match/tournament area, and is preferred as this is where you will find the tighter tables.
They have monthly memberships (not required) so there is a good group of regulars there. There's action if you want it. The owner's name is Chris I believe and I'm sure he would introduce you around.
Shoreline Billiards is up that way too. Also a good room, Bob Jewett plays out of there. I liked the CBC better though. I think Shoreline caters more to leagues than the CBC.
Both are in Mountain View, about 10-12 miles from the San Jose airport, maybe 10-15 minutes away.

California Billiards! It's a nice room, has nice equipment with some tight tables, good food AND foosball tables:thumbup:.
Say hi to Teresa for me too, please! And you can also blame her (and Ron) for making me a foos addict instead of a pool addict
