Billiard Palacade

been here a couple of times
tables are good overall
the atmosphere on the other, i feel like i am going to get shot either inside the poolhall or walking around that rea
if you shoot decent, all the regulars will start staring a you the moment you come in if you have your own gear.
it felt like being dump into tank filled with hungry sharks
i personally wont go here to shoot. i rather come here with immigration officers and raid the place or with police and catch some drug dealers hanging around
the music is constant south american. i have no problem with mexican music, just not all 2hrs i am playing there

wont be coming back soon
place is far too shady for my taste.

I go here about once every two weeks to practice and I really appreciate the up-keep! Palacade definitely has the best tables in the city for a decent price. There is always a table open here and plenty of room to avoid bumping neighbors. Jukebox is filled with Los Tucanes de Tijuana... FYI :)

My only problem is that I'm uncomfortable going here alone. If you are a lady... bring some pepper spray to walk to your car with or go with a man.

I had never actually hung out in the Crocker-Amazon area of SF and found it somewhat of a surprise to find a rather large pool hall here.  It was a surprise gathering of friends (none of whom had been to this part of town either) but I actually ended up having a great time here.

The place is huge with 15-20 pool tables.  The crowd was mostly middle-aged Hispanic males and although we didn't fit that demographic, it was a pretty welcoming place.

The tables are nice and the per hour prices were very reasonable ($11-15/hour depending on the number of players).  

What made this place especially nice was the service.  There's a woman who works at the front who, whenever we ordered beer, she would carefully wrap each beer with a napkin and cleverly tie it so that it wouldn't be too cold.  Sweet!

The place got pretty crowded mid-afternoon on a Saturday but died down considerably by the time dinner rolled around.

Although we normally don't play pool or normally hang out around here, I thought it was a great experience checking out a new part of the city and doing something different.
