Pool, Billiards, and Pool Halls
in Puerto Vallarta

Looking to shoot a little pool in Puerto Vallarta?

Your hotel might have a pool table in their recreation area, or you might have to go out to find a game. Here are some tips on finding a game on the felt.

VIEJO VALLARTA ('Old Vallarta', south of the Cuale River) has several good bars with decent tables:

"The Hangout" has an acceptable table, plus cheap drinks on Madero just east of Vallarta.

"Asadero's" on Basillio Bodilla, just West of Constitution St. is a friendly bar, restaurant, and gringo pool-table hang-out.

"Pedro's Bar del Puerto" on the South side of V. Carranza Street between Constitution and Vallarta. Friendly little place.

There's also an old-school pool hall, with about 15 tables, just up the street from La Bariga...it's a flashback to your grandfather's pool hall.

 

EL CENTRO's (Downtown) billiard action is mostly on the north end:

 

Pool Vallarta is a nice place with 8 tables where you can rent by the hour and not worry about having to give up your stick if you lose a game, about $3 (usd) per table/hour. Music and video screens and cheap beer as well.

 

Dollar's Bar is actually an 'after hours' bar that doesn't open 'till 8pm and closes 12 hours later. Shoot some pool here.

 

FURTHER NORTH in Puerto Vallarta the pool action is a little more scattered:

 

Bill's Bar is on the south end of the 'hotel zone', and has 3 tables plus a pinball game (rare in Mexico) and air hockey. It's a friendly joint. Click HERE for more details.

 

Bowlarama has a pool table, and of course bowling. Click HERE for more details.

 

Brando's is a Marina hang out with two tables, open air but under a palapa, next to the boats. Also a pretty decent restaurant and big margaritas.
