In my ex-town there's a pool hall thats called Big Shots Billiard in Lake Forest. But I don't really like that room. They serve alcohol and have a jukebox so I guess some people here wouldn't like it. I just don't feel that "player" mentality.
I believe that in Orange County the best pool hall (I am biased by the way) would be Santa Ana Billiards, in beautiful Santa Ana, CA. Most people would say Danny K's is the best, but according to some people alcohol dosen't make it a REAL pool hall. I personally like Santa Ana Billiards over any pool hall in Orange County. No alcohol, no drunks, no TVs (well there's one but a very small one), just pool, 3 cushion (a lot, there's even writing on the wall stating ''aqui jugamos carambola'' or here we play carombole or 3c. As I recall, two years ago they had a huge 3c event, the place was PACKED), and the ongoing golf game on the 6x12. Gold crowns and Verhoevens. Not to mention the card game they always seem to have going on. People are always hanging out on the bleacher they have there. They even have lockers that most of their regulars use. They have a juke box that will randomly play a Spanish song once in a while, rarely seen dollars put in it, only on maybe the weekends. But that just adds ambiance to the room. When you walk in you know that people there are all about cue sports, during the daytime at least, at night you'll see a couple bangers.
My favorite pool hall, maybe because that's where I found my passion :shrug:.
