VIP Billiards

pool hall has a friendly and clean environment. Clearly the manager cares about his customers and his pool tables. He even taught us the great game of four ball! I will be definitely be coming back to play.

My favorite pool place in the area. My friend and I both enjoy playing pool here. The new owner is really nice and understands the needs of customers’.

I came here once with my friends when I was first learning how to play pool, and after talking to Matthew, I’ve been hooked. VIP is the best pool hall I’ve been to, bar-​none. The tables are immaculate and the balls are cleaned daily. Matthew has 6 or 7 pocket billiard tables, 5 being Hollywood, 1 being a Bruinswick, and 1 being a Diamond. The Hollywood tables play a little bit more generous for beginners because of the larger pocket sizes. The Bruinswick and Diamond tables were both recently redone with Simonis 860 and have everyone’s favorite 4 ¼ inch french-​cut pockets. Balls roll well on all tables and cushion speed is VERY fast (coming from someone who usually plays on bar tables around school). There are about 6 or 7 cushion billiards tables as well, but I can’t comment on those since I mainly play 8-​ball, 10-​ball, and 14.1. There are bathrooms in this place as well as drinks and AC. The place is very well kept and filled with good people. No shadyness around here (not like there really ever is in Diamond Bar). This is somewhere I’ll come by at 8 o’clock after dinner with my friends and stay until about 2 just working on my stroke and mapping skills.
Matthew and his wife are great owners and are extremely kind to their customers. If you want to get better, feel free to ask Matthew for tips. Matthew always helps me out with my technique and strategy even now when I’ve gotten significantly better. He’s always willing to play with his customers and show them how to get better. There are several players that come on a consistent basis — everyone is nice and will shoot some balls with you if you ask.
Pro-​tip: Monday-​Thursday, he does an All-​day deal for $ 10 with re-​entry. If you aren’t feeling like getting an All-​day pass, Matthew has stamp cards for his customers as well. I believe its 1 stamp per hour and 10 stamps gets you 1 free hour. I’m not 100% sure on that though, however, because I never stop by for less than 4 hours, so I always get the all-​day pass.

great pool tables!!! awesome enviroment! all pool! definitely recommend it

A friend and I were looking for places to shoot pool around the area after work and found VIP Billiards and Era Billiards. We decided upon VIP Billiards because of the prices. The place was quiet for a week night but didn’t mind because we didn’t have to worry about getting in the way of other peoples’ cues. Loved the bright lighting and free drinks. There’s no stigma here in regards to a billiards place. I like it because then I can play a few games, relax, and not worry about someone bothering us or etc. They are new owners and remodeled the inside. I think the previous place had a lot of smokers inside so they had mentioned that they had to clean that and etc.
They have regular billiard tables, Korean billiard tables (which I don’t know how to play), and a mini billiard table. There’s a fridge near the cashier with unlimited soda, water, juice, tea, and etc. Who can go wrong with that!
The place is pretty clean and quiet. Soft music playing in the background and the owners are really nice. They would ask how we were doing. If you’re looking for a place to shoot pool without having to go to a bar or it being in a ghetto place, I totally recommend this place! Already planning on going back!

This place recently got a new owner and they refurbished all their tables. If I want to shoot some pool with my friends VIP is my number one choice! Since the new owner came the atmosphere here completely changed! They have music playing in the background now which really helps give it that atmosphere. They also have free beverages for paying customers!

VIP Billiards is the seriously the number one spot for pool in the area. They recently got a new owner and really fixed up the place. They fixed up the tables and recently got a Diamond table so the pros out there can really enjoy this place. Would definitely recommend coming here.

Great place to shoot some pool and free tea.

Asides from Oak Tree Lane (bowling around DB), this place is another alternative to solve your «What do you want to do around Diamond Bar?» dilemma. A place that’s open past 9PM in DIAMOND BAR! OMG!!!
This is a pretty decent place to hangout, have a good time, and play some pool. It’s $ 10 per hour for a table to play. Also there’s free soda, green tea, and water by the fridge in the corner. The radio is on KOST 103.5 and the TV is on local news, nice atmosphere, not ghetto at all. If you get to know the owner who runs the place, he’s a really nice guy. He can give you discounts if you come often enough and he’s able to recognize you.

Cool late night spot. Tables are solid and they’re open till 2 am. Oh yeah they have soda and green tea on deck for free!
Pros: Family owned, free beverages, happy hour.
Cons: I’m pretty sure the radio is stuck on Kost 103.5 (sappy 80’s love songs)

I’m writing this review not from my experience at the place, but the experience I received from the store employee there. I parked my car in front of this billiards place, so I can eat dinner a few doors over. When I walked back, someone spat on my driver side window. I’m thinking, «What the -?».
I walk into this place, and instantly I see this middle aged man with glasses sleeping… seriously? It’s still daylight, you have a couple in here playing and you decide to sleep? After waking him up, I ask politely, «Do you have paper towels? Someone spat on my window». He’s just silent for a moment and says ‘toilet’. While I’m getting some toilet paper, I just hear him saying, «If you’re not going to come here, then don’t park here. There are other parking spaces available» blah blah blah.
Seriously dude? First off, it’s PUBLIC parking, with no signs saying it’s reserved for this business or any other. Secondly, it’s bad for business, because not only are you incapable of working, but you’re promoting bad impressions on potential customers. No wonder this place is empty. I like playing billiards, but I won’t ever come here to play.

The balls, tables and cue sticks are all in decent condition. I like to come here and play pool rather than like. round 1 because their tables/​balls/​sticks are horrendous. You see the owner polishing and maintaing the equipment here.
Also there are free drinks in the fridge: tea, soda, water, etc. It’s $ 10/​hr here. Half the area is filled with pool tables the other half is another game. I don’t know what’s it’s called actually, looks like pool tables without the pockets.
A lot of the players that come here do look like what they’re doing. But I’m a noobie and I still like to come here and have fun with my friends. Pretty chill place, pretty quiet though.
The owner remembers you after you’ve gone a few times. He’s really chill so sometimes he’ll knock off a few bucks from your bill (which is decently cheap anyhow)

Great place for my friends to hang. We go because the owners chill its empty and the tables are in good condition.

Tables are not too bad, I like it, the owner is easy going, many cue stick are nice not wrap unlike other place, the only problem I have with this place is the smoke odor is very strong for a non smoker like me.

the owner is super chill. and my favorite place to shoot some pool late at night

This place is awesome! the owner is very chill. and they have free drinks in the corner! its 10 bucks per table per hour.

Hands down my favorite pool room in the local area.
In a nutshell: level tables, felt rolls fair, straight cues, clean balls, free drinks while playing, well maintained, well lit
$ 8 happy hour 6 days a week, $ 10 any other time. If you come in 2+ times a week and the owner knows you, he will give you a couple bucks off almost every single time, make it a point to say hi whenever you go.
They also have a «frequent player card» that gives you 1 free hour of table time for every 10 hours played. They don’t advertise it, so again. ask for it.
Minor downsides, a lot of smokers. if they don’t close the door you’ll smell it inside. Also, if you’re not Asian. you might not feel particularly welcome, but as long as you mind your own table you’ll be perfectly safe ;)

Great place. Been going for 10 yrs now. It’s just a local pool hall, not a sports bar. Pocket ball $ 10 and Korean pool $ 11. Check it out for yourself.

Korean Pool. This place is really pretty nice. The tablets felts are good, the walls are good. THe owner has a ball polisher so everytime you play its like a brand new set of balls.
Half the place is the sagu game and the rest are pocket tablets. Usually pretty packed, but just come and hang out, they open late. Free drinks when you play too (water, tea, soda).

WE LOVE COMING HERE. Its the hangout spot.
