Velvet Touch Billiards

PROS: Great manager. Serious as hell pool hall vibe. No frills and serious players. Great selection of pool cues for purchase. Also, there's one guy who works behind the counter who's super friendly and makes an intimidating place inviting. This is normally the sort of business I would give five stars, but there is one con so glaring it compelled me to have to write a review.CON: One of the worst employees of any business I've ever dealt with. Without question, the most unhappy person I've met on the island. And I know a few ex cons. Beyond answering the phone, he responds to any request you make with an audible, " oh God..." I asked if I could leave my number for the manager to call me back when they get in, and he literally said, "No." just the worst person to come across. I don't want to write a bad review, but this particular employee made me feel so bad, I had to.

The best place to place and unreal cheap! Perfect place to play. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Love the vibe inside too and great spot for beginners

First off, I've not seen a legit pool hall like this on any of the islands I've been to. It's possible I've missed them but I've looked at least on Oahu, Maui and Kauai. This is a spot for every level of player but serious players will be very pleased. A ton of tables, more than 10, all but one 9 footers, fantastic quality with tournament cloth on all. All Brunswick and diamond, with one that is something else, custom maybe. Balls were in almost new condition and perfectly polished.. best I've played with at a pool hall in I don't know how long. Open until 2am, everyone is super friendly and respectful and rates are amazing! I played for almost 4 hours and paid less than $25 with tip.. that does not happen anywhere, not even Des Moines, KC or SLC. Ambiance is exactly what you'd want from a legit pool hall and parking is plenty. There are vending machines, which are also very very reasonably priced.. almost grocery store prices. This place checks all the boxes for me and is a winner in every category, on or off island. Very well done!

Shoots, Velvets Billiards stay cheap an fun, perfect fo da crew on one Monday night. Good spot fo pau hana, play some pool, an just kick back. You no can go wrong wit da prices an da good times!

Oh my goodness. When we read that this was an old school pool room, I was hopeful. No disappointment. It is exactly that! Something I really miss from my early days.We were a little unsure on entering on a Thursday night, as the door was locked and someone had to come down and let us in and up the stairs. Great tables, nice house cues. Reasonable prices and some weeknight specials. Local players working on their game with some drills or playing some friendly sets. All ages, from the very youthful to the very experienced and skilled. Women and men. I wish we had this room here!

Awesome venue. Very chill and open place. They free affordable prices and a game of pool typically lasts for a decently fair amount of time. You can bring outside food in which is great. All sorts of different people here.

I recently started playing pool again and was glad to find Velvets just a short walk away. Like many I thought it was kind of sketchy at first but this is a really nice place to play. Lots of really nice people that I've meet and Warren the manager is always eager to help if you ask him.Velvets has 2 3 cushion tables, 2 Diamond tables and 2 Breton tables up front. 5 Brunswick tables, 3 Gandy tables, 1 Diamond bar table and a Chinese 8 ball table in the back. All are 9 foot tables except for the 3 cushion tables and bar table. They even have a set of snooker balls.They also hold a monthly 9 ball tournament on the last Sunday of every month.Velvets has parking but it can get full pretty quickly. Street parking on S. King street is plentiful.Prices are very reasonable compared to the mainland.One of a handful of pool halls left on Oahu.As of today (December 17, 2021) mask and proof of vaccination are required.

Amazing equipment, played Sunday morning. Good mix of crowd and the tables have new simonis on gold crowns. The equipment is near pro competition standard. Dont let exterior deter you, this place is for serious shooters.

'Velvets' is a very clean and comfortable place. Mellow music and nobody bothers you. Great place to chill. In my opinion, I would recommend this place to anyone.

A hidden billiards location open til 2 am every night (discretion of owner as well).I went on a Sunday night around 10 pm and me and 2 other friends played for an hour. It is cheap. We played about an hour and it was under $11 for 3 people (so under $4 a person). The place has its own parking lot, it's upstairs, has about 15 billiard tables that are really nice. On a Sunday night it was quiet with about a total of 10 people max playing. They have specials on certain night. Monday nights is college nights. College students with ID pay 1/2 price for all regular tables from 7pm-11pm. Ladies night is Wednesday nights with 2 or more people of half price from 7pm-11pm. 9am to 2 pm tables 1-6 with snooker $4.50/hour/person while tables 7-14 with bar table is $4/hour/person2pm-closing is tables 1-6 with snooker $6/hour/personWhile tables 7-14 with bar table is $5/hour/person Seniors over age 60 $1 discount per hour/per person Table with 3 people or more $1 discount per hour/per person. The pricing has been that price since July 2019. There are vending machines for snacks , bottle water and canned soda. Great atmosphere, quiet, fun, clean and why not play billiards. The place does not allow jump shots and no masse shots.Credit card/debit cards must be a minimum of $25 charge so bring cash if you are not there that long.
