Here are seven fun spots in and around Westlake Village / Thousand Oaks where you can shoot pool, enjoy food and drinks, and hang out with friends. Some focus more on billiards, others more on food & atmosphere — a nice mix.
1. City Billiards Bar & Cafe
Located at 2304 Townsgate Rd in Westlake Village.
This place is a full-on bar + café environment with pool tables. Great for a more relaxed hangout with food and drinks.
Tip: Go during off-peak hours for more open tables and fewer crowds.
2. The Tipsy Goat
Located at 159 E Thousand Oaks Blvd, Thousand Oaks.
A lively pub-style place with pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, ping-pong, and fire-pit patio.
Why it stands out: The games & patio give it a more casual, fun-group vibe — great for friends rather than serious league play.
Tip: Arrive early for games (pool/shuffleboard) before the music or DJ nights kick in.
3. Sunset Terrace Restaurant & Lounge
At 235 N Moorpark Rd, Thousand Oaks.
A lounge/bar with multiple pool tables, shuffleboard, and darts, plus live sports on big TVs.
Good for: A mix of hanging out, pool & drinks.
Tip: For a quieter pool time, aim for earlier in the evening before the live music/dance floor ramps up.
4. Billiard Plaza
Located in nearby Simi Valley (2261 Tapo St).
A more dedicated pool-hall style spot: 17 Brunswick tables, beer pong, darts, food & drinks.
Why include it: If you’re willing to drive a little (~10-15 minutes), it’s one of the stronger setups for serious play in the area.
Tip: Weeknights are usually less crowded; ask about hourly rates.
5. Crown & Anchor
Why it's worth checking: More relaxed, local-pub feel, could be a good backup if the “pure pool halls” are booked or further away.
Tip: Ask whether they have full size tables and how busy they are on your chosen evening.
6. PJ’s Sports Pub
Appears in local listings for “bars/pool halls” in Thousand Oaks.
Why include: Good option for casual pool + sports bar environment.
Tip: If you want more table time, check when they offer specials or have less crowded evenings.
7. West State Billiards & Gamerooms
At 2810 Camino Dos Rios, Thousand Oaks 91320.
Actually more of a billiards supply store (tables/gamerooms) than a public bar pool hall, so full-play options might be limited.
Why mention: For serious players looking to buy or upgrade gear; less for casual hangout.
Tip: If you’re interested in equipment or a dedicated table environment, call ahead to ask about open tables.
