The Cue Ball

So if you’re looking for a simplistic but quaint place to play billiards try this place! Plenty of tables and space to come with a group of friends. Cash only! For a group of 2 or more I believe it’s 12 dollars an hour. Not too bad. There’s a lady that goes around asking for drink orders whenever your ready. This place could use some music, it’s too quiet. Put some tunes on! Food is also served here. Looks good. Parking is behind this place. Open late. Enjoy.

I came here with a couple of good friends that wanted to enjoy a Saturday evening relaxing. We Unilocaled a billiards place and this was the closest one. I gave them a courtesy call to see if there were tables available. Once we got the OK, we promptly left to the place.
It was a pretty decent pool hall. There were many tables that were open so you can take your pick. If you’re a basketball fan like me, you would definitely ask for the table that’s in front of the TV (Go lakers even though you guys lost!). The night started getting a little more packed as it approached 10pm. Rates were $ 12.50 an hour which wasn’t too bad. Beer was $ 6 for a mug which was okay too.
The bottom line is that if you and some of your guy friends want to have a relaxing night after a long day of work/​school, stop by for a drink and shoot some billiards. It is nice that they are open until 2am.
Tip: You’re not allowed to bring in bottled water either. My friend who was a little bit sick was told to throw it out.

4^th Dimensions on Myrtle has $ 18 for pool all night. I wasted $ 27 at this dump. This place is pathetic. I’m so against cruel comments because I’m an avid believer in karma, but this just has to be said. I came here last night with a group of 6 friends, so we got two tables to even it out. We play for about 2 hours, and I decide it’s getting late, so my boyfriend and I decide to hit the road. We go to pay for our games and this very rude woman who barely knows English starts yelling that we have to pay for the whole table and give her the balls. Wait… What? She starts yelling, «You can’t pay per person, you pay for table. Go ask your friends.» Why in the hell would I go talk to my friends when I’m talking to you? Does she not work there? No, she does, she’s just rude! I tell her, «My friends want to continue to play but I’m ready for bed, so can I pay for my boyfriend and I so I can go home?» I hand her my card and she rolls her eyes and says cash only. Which is absolutely ridiculous, is it not 2015? Why wouldn’t they accept card? And jeeze Louise if looks could kill that lady would’ve killed me then and there. Anywhoo, don’t bother with this place. It’s old and gross with little to no circular air. And I would not trust that food. You’re better off going somewhere else.

Hello my Unilocalies,
First time at this place, place is alright. Not the best environment but decent.
Came here with some friends for a few games, decent price. I was a little nervous about how much it will be but it wasn’t too bad. One thing I do hope they can do is probably clean up a little, the chair I was sitting on was wet and I don’t even want to know why it was wet but hope it was just water or some kind of drinks. It does get a little pack when it’s on a weekend but usually from what I heard you don’t have to wait that long.
I like the fact they have alcohol but it was definitely super over priced.
Overall, It’s decent place for a Friday night with some friends.

One of the few places to hang out during the night.
Atmosphere is pretty dark, ghetto, and stuffy. They don’t have running music which totally kills the mood. You got to pay per music to have background music. Would recommend they just have running music available for free at all times.
They have many different beers available. 99% of them are bottled. Cash only. Ranges from $ 4 – 6 per bottle.
I believe they have food, but never tried it.
Large amount of pool tables. Decent crowd size.
This is the only pool hall in Merced.

I’m an avid pool player so perhaps my standards and definition of a pool hall is much different than that of the recreational customer…
For those who care, the tables are well maintained, and the felt plays fast… just great tables to play on. There are easily 20 plus 9 foot pocket tables and 2 cushion tables in the back area that are never taken…
The rate is 8 an hour solo and I believe 12 an hour for two or more players… they provide a loyalty card that offers 1 hour for free every 10 hours you accumulate.
The food is fairly basic and nothing special. I recommend the fries and burrito if you do want to eat…
There is always a lady coming around offering alcohol, pitchers etc…
Just a very nice place to play on the week nights and they close at 2am which is great for me to unwind after a long day…
Best social nights are Friday and Saturday…

Clean, Pitchers of beer, clean restrooms jukebox (decent selection)

I came here to check out the pricing… The pool hall was empty except for one female worker… I asked about prices and she pointed at the wall… I asked if they had any specials and she straight out ignored me… Seriously??? Super rude.

The guy worker there is rude and an asshole. Don’t come here if you have friends who just want to chill and not play. I had 5 people and 1 didn’t want to play. They wanted to charge us an extra $ 6 even for standing in the pool environment. Rude Mexicans

I came in here alone and they charged me $ 12.50 instead of $ 9. Rip off!
ATMOSPHERE: This place is dark and very hot and stuffy. It’s hard to even play when it’s this HOT. They don’t even have an AC. I couldn’t even stay for the whole hour.
FOOD: Overpriced and it sucks. All it is is hot dogs, burgers, fries, and ordinary American food that is very bad.
EQUIPMENT: old pool tables. Also, if you are trying to practice trick shots then you can forget it because they don’t allow any kind of funny stuff. The old Mexican lady, who doesn’t even speak English, told me not to shoot that way.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T COME HERE! Go anywhere else.

One player $ 9/​hr
2,3,4 players $ 12.50/hr
Extra player $ 4/​hr
Usually packed at night but tables become free constantly so just grab a beer $ 5−−8 and chill. They have some bar tables and chairs for you to wait.
Beers of tap and bottles (around $ 5 – 6). They carry almost all the Mexican beers but NO CRAFTS, if you’re unsure, try the Negra Modelo (dark lager).
Upside: place is not bad, clean, good dim lighting, standard space in between tables. The waitress walks by constantly taking away the empty bottles and offering more, which you can pay her right there at the pool table with cash… For the super lazy who don’t want to walk towards the cashier/​bar. Not bad, keeps the beer flowing!
Downside: One bathroom for each gender. Prices are on the higher side, once I ended up paying $ 50 just worth of pool (2 people, 3 hours or so) — all my hobbies are so expensive ;)
PARKING: so easy, street or back of venue. No biggie.
Overall, a good place for those LAST MINUTE plan-​less nights.

My favorite part is the jukebox & my least favorite part is those crowded weekend nights. My husband decided to take me here to teach me a little something about handling pool sticks. The first time I came here, there were a bunch of tables available so we chose the one right by the jukebox. I had a lot of fun. I didn’t order food or drinks from this place. I’d rather go to a café & a liquor store for all that jazz. I’m sure it’s overpriced in that department. The parking lot is in the back or you can park on the street right in front. There’s a lot on the side that people also park at but I can’t confirm if it’s a valid place to park. It’s a fun thing to do on weeknights. I’d come back. Try not to go Fast & Furious on the weekends because it becomes in infested with the red, white & blues during those sun down hours.

Over priced ass holes ! Take advantage out of there customers they charge $ 12 a burrito !!! $ 10 for cheese fries !!! Not to mention for $ 12 burrito it’s tiny ! Not even close to a decent size. The menu prices say one thing and they charge another .
The atmosphere is horrible !! They play horribleness music and it’s dark and dingy. Very depressing. !
Don’t waste your time or money !

This place is awsome, plenty of tables, great atmosphere, reasonable prices, beer, food, awsome place to hang out and play pool.

Cash Only.
$ 12.50 per hour.
My friend and I came in on a Monday night for the first time. We played roughly about 2hrs + ordered a coke and some fries. (The ketchup tasted a little funny, slightly watered-down…So BYOK…) Total bill came out to $ 25 flat.
Pretty chill place to hang, would definitely come back again!

Cool place for pool. Pretty clean. Doesn’t smell. The guy that helped us was nice. Rates are $ 9/​hr for 1 person. $ 12 for 2 – 4 people. This is my go to place here. Definitely better than embassy pool

Was always curious about this place. Boyfriend took me to this place to play some pool — well to learn how to play pool. It was so empty but it was like in the middle of the day on weekday… but it was still fun.
The place was pretty dark and a little dirty and they only accept cash so make sure to bring enough because it can get pricey if you drink… we didn’t drink at all but for the two of us it was $ 22 and we played for two hours at least.
The guy that worked there — perhaps the owner — was very nice — gave me some tips and after that I was at least able to get a few good shots.
Nice place to kill a couple of hours plus it was pretty fun! and I do assume that this place is busy during Friday nights and Saturdays.

Bad service, rude staff, rough pool tables, lack of maintenance, extra charge for minutes you never played.

This is the only pool hall that I’ve ever been to. It was nicer than I had imagined. I think it’s non-​smoking, which is nice for the non-​smokers.
We were just here for a chill night and to get some beers. There can be a long wait on a weekend so be prepared to wait if you arrive too late.

«I wanted to take a break from studying Chemistry and go shoot some pool today!»
A BEAUTIFUL SMILE: The nice looking short lady smiled at us today! I was thinking in my head «Santa Maria» she has a very nice smile! I hope she does it a lot because she has nice teeth too :)
ORDERED: My friend ordered a hamburger and Snapple. I never tried the burgers but, my friend was really quiet and kept eating. I think it was good! I love their french fries a lot, it’s always hot and crispy! Oh-​la-​la!
POOL: We played for 2 hours today, it’s $ 12 per hour and CASH ONLY ;)
BRING CASH: Just in case you get hustled by me, jk! ;)
SUNDAY: If you want to come when it’s not crowded then Sat. and Sunday late afternoon is a good time to come :)
MUSIC: My friend said the music is too loud, so if you don’t like loud music then, choose a pool table far away from the Juke Box and you will be ok ;)
«I will back, back, BACK with more friends to hustle!»
