Jillian's San Francisco, San Francisco

Jillian's—the host of both local and national events from the American Poolplayers Association and the Billiard Congress of America—is an upscale rec-sports wonderland paired with a menu of fanciful pastas and grilled American fare. The Billiards Room delights amateur and professional players alike with red-felted Brunswick Gold Crown tables, Dufferin cues, and Centennial Billiards balls. At the ping-pong table, newfound friends and lifelong twins compete for glory by executing firm, overhand smashes and deft, delicate slices. And when the sun goes down, Jillian's elevates energy levels with dance parties, live entertainment, and private events for parties as large as 1,000 people.
