Great spot for grabbing a drink and playing pool. It’s usually busy so it’s best to reserve your table then walk the shops, it can take up to 40min. The place is fun but be aware that before 10pm you will have 18 and under people around, so if you don’t like teenagers don’t come in before then. Haven’t had the food but the onion rings look good

We had a great time at HotShots Billiards! It was a fun and relaxing way to bond with my three teen kids. The place is clean, including the restrooms, and has a welcoming atmosphere for families.
We really enjoyed playing pool together. Great tables and enough space to feel comfortable. Great spot whether the sun is up or down.
They also serve food, which was a nice bonus. I really enjoyed the calamari strips, crispy and tasty! The kids couldn’t get enough of the funnel cake strips. Plus, the soda machine is awesome great drink selection and super convenient.
Highly recommend for a fun outing, family bonding, or just a laid back game night!

Hot Shots Billiards in Pismo Beach, a most excellent gathering place it is. Well-kept, the tables are, maintained with great care. Charged by the hour or minute, the game of pool is—18 credits per hour the cost stands.
Variety, the arcade games provide, bringing balance to the entertainment. Warm and inviting, the atmosphere is, with staff most friendly and attentive. Strong, the drink offerings are, satisfying even the most discerning traveler.
A shop, they have, where fine pool sticks, accessories, and garments—shirts and sweatshirts among them—may be acquired. A place of camaraderie and skill, it is. A fine choice for an evening of merriment with allies and kin.

I had such a great time here. For years and years. This recent visit I asked for a plastic cup so that I can turn in my glass beer cup because closing was soon. The manager DANIEL decided to yell at the employee that I was being helped by because the worker accidentally gave me a water cup instead of the branded 805 plastic cup. Mind you, the employee did not know my intentions of me using the cup to pour my beer into. I proceeded to tell the manager Daniel that it’s not okay to heal at said employee and micromanage and yell at his employees in front of customers for a simple mistake. Long story short, because of this interaction I am now banned from my long time favorite hang out in pismo. Thank you Daniel for being so unpleasant.

Phil the owner was the most unpleasant human I’ve ever met. We entered Hot Shots my 8 year old son my girlfriend and our service dog Nigel. Excited to play some games and hang out. Phil very aggressively approached us immediately demanding to tell him what service our dog provides. Mind you we have been in before with Nigel which has never been an issue. We offered to show Phil our drs . Letter of service for Nigel and Phil just yelled at us “WHAT SERVICE DOES HE PERFORM!!!” Getting up in my face so aggressively as if he wanted to fight me. Im a 42 year old female and at this point felt very threatened for not only my safety but my sons safety as well. As i tried to walk away from Phil he leaned into me and my personal space and in my ear said “you are rude and ugly leave now!” Feeling so insulted and attacked by this man (the owner) my family and I made our way out of this horrible establishment. I do not recommend Hot Shots at all. Thumbs down horrible service. Needless to say we will not be back and if you are reading this and own a service dog please be cautious when going in here. They will not treat you kindly at all. This encounter was the most discriminated I have ever felt before in any public setting. Phil whatever was bothering you today just remember buddy tomorrow is a new day. Best wishes to you and your business ✌️

Hidden gem. Seems like your average pool hall type of place from the outside. Cool T-shirt shop. Young crowd. For the most part it is. But then they have this amazing beer selection of sours, stouts, barley wines, strong ales, etc. on tap. legendary microbrew bottles and cans to go. The food is great too. Top notch bowling alley diner style grub. The business isn’t a bowling alley, just saying that’s the fine cuisine it reminds me of 🙂 Patty melt is great. Regular stop on my yearly Pismo trip.

This place is awesome for adults and children. They have pool tables, air hockey tables and a full arcade. The pier is two minutes away . I had the fish and chips and calamari and it was delicious. You should definitely visit the family Billiards .

My credit card was charged $53.80 after I already paid them cash to close out my pool tab. I didn’t even shoot pool for 1/2hr. I called management to resolve the issue and they said that it was just a hold on my card and wait until the payment is done processing. Fast forward to a couple of days later, and the charge on my card was still not reversed. Now I have to settle this issue my bank. Very unprofessional and will never come back to this place.

If I could put 0 stars I would. Called the cops on my kids for “banging sticks.” The cops kicked my family and I out and told the cops we were “refusing to pay” when that was NOT the case at all. Really disappointing and scared my kids on their vacation. Horrible service.
