“Where should I play foosball for fun?

Sometimes new foosball players don’t want to enter tournaments, and they ask us “Where should I play foosball for fun?” And sometimes the most experienced players just want to goof around and show off trick shots. We’ve got options!

Tuesday nights, California Billiards: tables on free play from 7-8pm, lots of people practicing and playing pick-ups before the tournament starts. We also run Casino Night once a month, pick-up games and prizes until 11pm.

Thursday nights, Emporium SF: pick-up games, sometimes. Check with the SF Foos facebook group, if you’re interested, other people will be too.

Friday nights, Cuetopia Billiard Cafe: almost always 8-12 players playing pick-ups on Fridays!

There are also occasional meet-ups in San Ramon; check the facebook group if you’re interested.

All skill levels are welcome, whether you’re brand new to the game, a seasoned pro, or anywhere in between.

Playing Foosball in the SF Bay Area

We get a lot of questions about where to play foosball in the Bay Area. We’ve got answers.

Tuesday nights: free play + tournaments at California Billiards in Fremont. Free play runs from 7-8pm. We play pick-ups and do some teaching. If you want, you can stay for the tournament that runs from 8-11pm. We keep the tournaments fun and casual. First timers play free.

Thursday nights: occasional pick-up games at the Emporium in San Francisco, usually around 8 pm. Check in on the SF Foos group to see if folks plan on meeting up.

Friday nights: pick-ups at Cuetopia in San Jose. Folks show up starting between 7 and 8, and play until late.

We usually host a double header tournament (Singles and Doubles) once a month on a Saturday. Check bayfoos.com for updates on date and location for the next double header.

We love new players and visitors. Check the SF Foos facebook group or e-mail bayfoos@gmail.com with questions.

Bayfoos is Now Mask-Optional

Masks and contact tracing are now optional (but encouraged) at Bayfoos events.

Bayfoos was closed for most of the pandemic. Even after reopening in 2021, we required masks and contact tracing for all players participating in our events. This was very frustrating for players who wore glasses, since playing with fogged up lenses is difficult. As of April 2022, Bay Area Covid cases are low enough that we’re now making masks optional.

We will continue to pay attention to case rates, and also to Covid wastewater dashboards that can give early warnings. If we start to see signs of another surge, we’ll switch back to requiring masks. Our goal is to keep our events fun, and having a tournament turn into a superspreader event would not be fun. Let’s do our part to keep each other safe.
