Love the atmosphere and people. I love shooting pool, and their pool tables are free everyday all day!! I wish more places were as friendly and warm as the Study.

Good bar for pool players. A ‘participatory’ environment. Come expected to meet new people, drink, and have a food time. Tip Paul and Nicole well. They will warn it.

Great little bar with four star service from Paul the manager/bartender for as busy as it was. Two more barmaids didn't venture beyond the pass thru. It was my second visit here and the place was rocking with a DJ for a birthday party. The beer was cold, the music was loud, free chips available to stimulate your thirst, decent drink prices to quench that thirst, a dedicated TV for San Diego Padres games, sports on the other televisions and two pool tables. The pool tables were in use all night. I have not played here, but the felt looked In good condition, the tables well spaced. Most of the bar and tables were filled while I was there. At the far end of the bar is a spot to charge your phone. The Padres dedicated TV is only visible to the three bar stools and a few tables at that end of the bar. When the game ends there is only a baseball recap show available to watch on that TV. There is an ATM available next door at the 7 eleven. Stopped in here again today 11 January 2024 around 4:20 pm. My third visit here and received excellent service from the person working the bar. Ordered a beer, plugged in my phone and asked for quarters to shoot pool. The lovely lady behind the bar informed me the pool tables were no charge. There was decent music playing on the jukebox, a formula one race on the TV and the locals mind their own. I neglected to ask the person tending bar her name, but she deserves a raise for being attentive to someone she had never seen in there before. As soon as she spotted my empty glass was right there asking if I was going to have another. It was one and done, my phone had enough charge so I respectfully declined. It is few and far between that you find a server, be it restaurant, bar or club that does their job well. I used to bartend myself as my family owned bars. My father used to scout his competition looking to steal quality servers such as this to work for him. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT IF YOU WANT A COLD BEER, NOSH ON FREE CHIPS, OR TO PLAY POOL.

$10–20Atmosphere: 5Somewhat difficult to find parkingFree street parkingAdequate parking but be chill entering or departing the lot. CHP headquarters is right next door. Good venue to make use of Uber or Lyft when departing.

If you're looking for some excitement outside of your 9-5 boring desk job, this is it. If you are an avid pool player this is a great spot to go with some cheap drinks. They have free pool tables and there are always great partners to...Read More

Had a blast. Even had live entertainment. Saw some girl with red hair get beat up in the front. Drinks were fire. Bartenders were great. 5 out of 5 stars for sure.

Interesting place. Had 1 drink here. Lots of locals, the beer was priced average. The vibe was good. Lots of people playing pool. Mixed crowd, but mostly younger. Place was clean.
