South First Billiards and Elixir Lounge

South First Billiards, with the Elixir Lounge, is the undisputed heavyweight of downtown San Jose’s nightlife in the SoFA district for hipster lounging.  Being the premier billiards bar and posh deep lounger venue in San Jose hasn’t changed the ultra-cool vibe that South First Billiards propagated from its inception and the makeover from semi-traditional pool hall to swanky Elixir Lounge and Billiard Club was done seamlessly. 

Some top San Jose spinners drop beats on the weekends for a diversified mix of San Jose nightlife scenesters, sharks, hotties and hipsters, boozers, rockabilly cats and kittens or just an average techie breaking out of the weeklong cubicle hell.  Bolstering the designer makeover at South First Billiards and Elixir Lounge in San Jose is a truly cosmopolitan menu of eclectic small plate fare that’s served late into the night so the ever dangerously poured cocktails won’t send boozy heads rolling.

Probably the best aspect—yep something tops the one two punch of slick billiards bar and hipster lounge—of South First Billiards and Elixir Lounge is this venerable San Jose nightlife club king still takes care of the local element by hosting pure local live indie, alt, punk and rock music on its Unsigned Sundays live music club throw down on the first and last Sundays of the month.
