Billco's Billiards and Darts

Just a hot and a skip from First st. If you're looking for a downtown bar that serves local and import beer on tap, this is the place for you. Get away from the wines for a little bit and come chill with billards and darts. The bartenders are cool, the beer is cold and the prices decent with a good happy hour. Billco's is a chill place to just hang out. We didn't eat, we just had drinks and the vibe was absolutely just chill. 100% recommend.

Nice pool bar with over 60 tap beers! Place of meet up of almost all the city! Enjoy it

My first time, pricey to play don’t linger cuz you’re not paying per game. Hourly rate per player ten bucks an hour. I will say this is a clean establishment and the regulars were friendly. I would definitely return. Did not eat or have drinks. Appreciated the water available and the sound system. Fun time at Billco’s playing pool. Thank you.

Great selection of beers. Bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable and inviting. Place is hopping with 10 pool tables and 6 dart boards. Tuesday night is ladies night.

The big large guy and the gal with red hair are extremely rude and unprofessional. Will never visit this establishment again. Waited over 20 minutes to get served a drink as they we busy complaining to each other.

Billcos is probably the best bar in napa city limits. It's more of a pool hall but they have steel darts NOT Redarts (safe plastic tips so redarted people can't hurt themselves). Lots of beer on tap ( more than 60) however they ironically fall short on beer selection, not a single coors, Miller, or bud on draft ( hence the 3/5 food rating). You can not talk about variety if you do not offer at least one domestic beerIMO. As such, every beer is fairly expensive, $8 and up for a pint. Not every beer in a pool hall, needs to be a premium. Also ambiance is good, but bar stools have no back rest ( hence 4/5) . Never give your customer a reason to get up. Seating is somewhat uncomfortable. Overall one of the better places in Napa City Limits. It's a should see, for males out on the town, not a must see while visiting Napa.

Not a bad place, had a LOT of different beers. I question the wisdom of having dart boards right between the entrance and bathroom hallways. People throwing darts get annoyed by those coming in, people coming in have to deal with a crowd of others playing darts. The service was good, quick and attendant at least! I didnt love the vibe inside, but there wasn't really anything wrong with it.

Red head bartender incredibly rude. She ignores customers, is not friendly at all. There will be literally nobody in the place and she walks around, doing other things pretending like you’re not even there. I think the place would be much better without her. Definite potential but seriously, lose the mood killer behind the bar.

Cynthia is a real b!t*h. I come to Billco's all the time and whenever she's the bartender on duty, she treats me so badly that it makes me want to leave. I love this place. She ruins it for me and numerous others have said the same. She should not have a job here. Period. I've talked to numerous people in the bar and they all say the same thing about her. She's rude to everybody for no reason. A friend of mine said that she's a pretty bad alcoholic which would explain the unnecessary rudeness to customers. People like her shouldn't have a job working in a customer service atmosphere.

Look at all the beers they have on tap!!! How awesome? Staff are super friendly and I feel like this is a hidden gem

Cool bar with lots of pool tables. Lots of good beers on tap. Always has good bar food available. Good service. Plenty of close parking.

We stopped by Bilco's because it was raining heavily outside. The regulars are friendly and helpful. I imagine if you showed up often, then people will start to recognize you. A kind gentleman who was a customer handed us a piece of chalk for polishing the pool sticks. I came for the pool tables, but didn't order any drinks. There are several pool tables, so you don't need to share with anyone. The price per hour to have the pool balls is a fair $8. You are charged once you turn in your pool balls you checked out. So if you spent less than an hour, then you'll be charged less than the full rate.

Nice dive-y kinda place. Ovb billiards and darts. Everyone is super friendly, bartender quick and hospitable , even though the place was busy and she was the only one serving. We ordered brisket, it was the special and it was really good! A local told me this guy cooks a special every Fri. It was pretty noisy but I didnt mind.

Family entertainment if you're into billiards and darts. They allowed my nephew to play with my hubby which was a great bonding activity. You can bring your furry family friend too!

We grabbed lunch from a few blocks away and Antonia was nice enough to let us eat inside with our beers since the kitchen hadn't opened just yet. Great selection on tap of beers to choose from and many pool tables, darts and windows to bring in light. She changed the TV channel to the football game we wanted to watch and we were able to enjoy our beers and lunch while watching the game. I had a mango beer that was light and refreshing while my date had a Canadian beer. I can't wait to stop in again to play some pool or darts. Her black dog, a Great Dane who was the size of a small horse at 140#, was very sweet and mellow.

Been coming here for years never a bad experience till tonight never been treated so poorly. Witnessed her being extremely rude to other regulars as well. Please get rid of the new bar tender.

The bar tender here tonight is absolutely the rudest ungrateful wretch I have ever encountered anywhere ever. We came in my husband asked for a beer they don't have no big deal but she acted as though he was a complete idiot. I'm not drinking she referred me to end of bar for water which is completely fine but her tone look on her face an attitude tells me she would like to be fired. I think her boss should make her dreams come true no one here tonight seems happy all here seem totally offended. Been here many other times it was fine . This continue and you will be losing business and not just ours.

I miss like 7 years ago when it was the 2 dudes. This new girl is awful. She's so rude to everyone, especially other woman, and when I've asked about it, I've been told "oh yeah she's just like that" so awful? She's just awful? Is she related? How did this go from my favorite bar to my least favorite bc of one tender? Idk I haven't been back, she's not worth dealing with.

Has taken us 7 years to check this place out. Good greasy food, great price and fabulous service from Cynthia.

The perks of this place... the venue is spacious, lots of beer options, plenty of pool tables and dart boards, TV's, casual and friendly atmosphere with some quirky decor, not too crowded and open late on a Saturday night, no cover, and apparently they do events on certain nights of the week. The not so great... if you're looking for drinks other than beer, this is not the best spot, they have cheap wine which they upsell (but I know my wine, so I know it's cheap), the music is not the best, the address is misleading and will lead you to a locked door that instructs you to use the "other" entrance. The other entrance is off the parking lot on 2nd Street. Also the service isn't the best, the bartenders aren't the friendliest and aren't very quick to serve you even for a not-so-busy night.

Wade at Billco's knows how to take care of people and their business Billco's is a fun place to hang out and enjoy an evening of pool, darts and drinks. Thank you Wade!

I've come here a couple of times and it was a good time. The vibe here at Billco's is very chill. There are pool tables, tv's && they even have karaoke nights! I recently came here for the Knee Deep pint night and it was a good time. Everyone around seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff is friendly as well which makes the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend coming here to grab a beer after maybe some local shopping near by or just because you're in the mood to grab a drink. I will be returning very soon. Parking: There is a parking lot to park in && good amount of parking surrounding the area. Restroom: They are 2 coed restrooms. One toilet in each. They were clean (unlike other bars). { Ig: Oohdearfoodie }

Best beer selection. So impressed. Owners know their beer! Great vibe. Will definitely go back when in town.

With Napa becoming more and more "wine girl" like and catering to a very specific person Bilcos emerges as the dark horse winner. This place is the prime example of locally owned and operated. I have worked in restaurant industry for years and I cant say enough positive things about Bilcos. Food and Drink: Granted they don't have a full bar, but they have so many options and the bartenders will work with you to help you find a drink you like. Just ask for something yummy like the "Unicorn Porn". I don't drink beer but I always have some delicious drink here. The food is also super tasty and made with such warmth and kindness. Pool and Darts: I have never ever waited for a table. Sometimes I get nervous with darts when people walk by but its part of the fun. There is always a great game going on which allows for lots of folks to find fun. Service and Community: This is where this bar stands tall above other establishments. The bartenders are local people and they cultivate relationships. I worked an event with a former bartneder and all night she was seeing people who missed her. She held all these peoples stories, their lives and memories. It was amazing the amount of insitituioinal knowledge the bartenders hold. They also hire people who go there, becuase they like them and who better to work at a bar than the people who think its great. If I have ever had an issue it was always handled so well. They do community events like toys for tots and are actually invested in the downtown space. In Closing: Go here, play a game, or not. But have a beer, treat the staff with respect and meet some new people. Its an amazing space and the downtown community is lucky to have it.

I came with a group of friends ( 4 girl friends and one guy freind). We cut the line and let all the girl friends in and banned the guys for cutting. Be aware if you want to have a good vibe. My girl friends that went in said all the security and the one bigger bartender made them feel uncomfortable and we left immediately. Thank you but never again.

Horrendous service from the female bartender working the Monday night shift. In the industry Monday is one of the worst shifts and usually given to the least experienced so perhaps this explains the sub par service. I wouldn't suggest spending your money in this establishment, there are many other places to go that are much more hospitable.

Great beer, fun place. Love playing pool!!! Darts league is a kick. Some good players.

One of the only normal bars in town. I come from Cleveland, OH where one of my favorite bars is called Judd's. Judd's serves beer and shot combo for $5. A High Life at Billco's is $5. I thought that was pricey my first day in town, learned quickly that this is a deal in California.

Very busy but very fun place to be. I'm from out of town but felt comfortable in the environment. Security looks the door which is odd to me. We had to be let out but no biggie. Pool tabes and darts for entertainment and if you love beer on tap, here's heaven for you!

They don't tell you are charged per a game and it's a $$$$ rate, and won't adjust the # people to charge unless you inform them after every game. $50 during happy hour and 3 games of billiards with 3 people. Otherwise okay beer choice and ambiance.

This place was a great time!! They have 91 beers on tap and fun games to play! I will most definitely come back here.

Great place to have a good time with friends. Fair price to rent the tables for an hour. Would recommend to anyone that's in the Napa area looking for something to do after eating close by.

Many, many choices for beer on tap!!! Hard to make a decision. I do have a word to the wise. Watch your money. If you leave your change on the bar, the bartender will take it. She seems to like to decide what her tip should be. This happened multiple times with 2 different bartenders - the change just disappeared.

We were walking by with some time to kill before heading home from Napa and decided to check out their darts. It's $5 to rent darts and you can play for as long as you want. Theres plenty of tables on the wall. There's plenty of professional size pool tables They have literally every type of beer you can think of on tap, there we're at least 50 types, something for everyone! What stood out to me was the service; all the bartenders are very nice and attentive and even chased us outside to give us a jacket we left there.

This review is from a darts perspective only. This is not a reflection of food/drink/ or items (which are quite good here). See below for tier explanation of a five star dart facility I would give this to our facility and overall grade of 3 1/2 stars. They have seven separate boards utilizing blade four and blade five. The boards are in good quality but not brand new. They have adequate lighting for the boards. The oche on the main section of boards happens to be in a pathway that often gets a lot of traffic from people passing by. It can interrupt the game somewhat. It's definitely a facility that is dedicated towards darts as you can buy shafts and flights at the bar. My conclusion would be that this is a very good dark bar, worthy of traveling to if you are in Napa Valley for winetasting. They have an outstanding selection of beers and siders. Great TVs and a variety of sports. This would be a great place for a fairly large tournament. I could see with a slight dedication in some lighting upgrades moving this to 04 stars. Three stars would be a disservice. It's actually a great place. Hence, 3 1/2 stars Five star would be a dedicated facility with the highest quality boards and scoring. That usually is reserved for facilities like flight club in Chicago or Europe. There's also a new bar in Miami that opened up I would qualify as five star Four-star is top-quality lighting and boards with a dedicated dart facility Three star would be a dedicated dart facility with adequate/needs improvement in boards and lighting Two star would be A semi dedicated location for darts with inferior equipment One star A board is present with access limited

A great place to play some pool with friends and have a few beers. They have a huge selection of beer and the staff is always really nice to customers

Billco's is a great hangout. One of the few very affordable places to go downtown for great entertainment and drinks.

I have been coming to billcos for around 6 years. I'm originally from Los Angeles and when I would stay to live in Napa or come to visit I would always come here for the good selection of beer and entertainment. I've brought all my family and friends from LA when we come and visit and of course family and friends in the Napa and American Canyon area. Sadly we went this past Saturday 20th in the afternoon and happy to see they just had reopened I took my husband to get a 6 pack of make your own beer. Usually they would let us go to the back and pick from their selection of beers. The lady that attended my husband explained that they could no longer let customers to the back. The problem is my husband talk to her in English and the lady kept trying to talk to him in Spanish and would giggle with other customers that seemed to be her friends. She gave my husband a menu that only showed about 5 beers that we could choose from but my husband feeling uncomfortable how the lady continued to try her horrible patronizing spanish my husband said no thank you. Over hearing her tell the other customers that there was more selection from the 5 she showed my husband. I'm extremely disappointed because never have I had a problem with that type of service! I hope that my fellow latinos read this and avoid this place all together.

Horrible service. Horrible atmosphere. Save your money and buy either a pool table or a dart board or maybe both. Whatever you do, do not pay this place because they make it very clear they do not need your business and couldn't care less for it. Even if you just live a few miles away like our family it is not worth your money or time.

I've added a star because it may get expensive but the music has gotten better, and as the night goes on it's more fun. By 10-11pm there's more of a crowd. Also recommended to go with a big group of friends.

+1 star for good draft selection. Came for a short practice session. It took 20 minutes to get the bartender's attention. Said there were no tables available and I had to catch someone finishing because they wouldn't manage a wait list. Got one and practiced until someone picking up glasses kept interrupting my massé shots. "If the chalk gets on the felt that's on you." Whatever that means. Tables are in poor condition to begin with. Did not feel welcome after that and left. If you don't allow massé just say so or provide felt scraps.

Great after hours joint in downtown Napa. So many great craft beer taps and we have to give a shout-out to our hostess, Talia! She really is the best and apparently loves crab shaped purses! Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

This place sucks. I paid money for songs. The junk box is messed up. The bar tender admitted the files get messed up would I like .50$ back. I said, "Can I get a free drink". The a-hole said yes, but gave me water. I'm sorry, but not. I've spent money here. That's just f'd up!!! He was super smug about it. Grrr!

Impressive space and good use of it for Billards/bar. Copious amount of different drafts to chose from

Place is outdated, but that is what makes it good! A lot of young folks that even looked way under age. No liquor here only beer. Did not try any food. Service was just ok.

Napa's dive bar. While the Napa Valley has plenty of upscale spots, Billco's is very much old school. They have over 60 beers on tap, plenty of fried food, friendly bartenders, pool tables- think of "Roadhouse" with the late Patrick Swayze. It's that kind of spot. One can get Russian River Brewing Company's Pliny the Younger on tap from here without having to brave the parking (and long lines) in downtown Santa Rosa. Their back patio has the view of a parking lot, the nearby ACE Hardware, and the shattered historic Napa post office. It's not picturesque, but it's not the point. The food is OK. They make good burgers, fries, beer-battered fish&chips (beer is their specialty) While Downtown Joe's has a more expansive menu, Billco's is all about the brews. It's an OK spot for socializing. Embodies the definition of dive bar.

I've been a patron of Billcos for YEARS. Probably coming up on 20 years now, if not longer. I've always been treated well, so I thought. As a child I would play pool with my father, as an adult I always drink a black beer. My wife and I went down there tonight and they tried to pass off a finger nail in the bottom of her beer for "how the beer settled". I'm dumb and ignorant sometimes... But when they pour the beer out before letting me see what was in it to prove me wrong? I'm calling bull$#@$! I'll NEVER revisit this establishment. Good riddance! Sorry Bret. Maybe you need to find new help. P.S. I mentioned that I drink black beer, thinking to myself, "How many fingernail cocktails have I been served in the past?"

Billco's, one of the first bars I went to when I first moved to Napa. Little did I know how expensive it really is. Okay, I absolutely love that they have pool, darts, and a jukebox. They also have a lot of board games you can sit down and play, either inside our outside. They have really redecorated the patio and it is very nice. You can also smoke out their and bring your dog, just an FYI. They have great parking, they literally have their own lot. They have a lot of TV's if you want to see a game, and if there is anything really big on TV, they have a huge projector that comes out on the wall, easy for everyone in the bar to watch. They have a HUGE selection of beers, I think they have hit the 100 mark. They are rarely out of things, they are very well stocked. Most of the girls behind the bar know the beers, but honestly the new staff isn't as good as the old crew, oh well, people move all the time in the service business. They have lots of different events, Tuesdays are ladies night, they have live music on Fridays and Saturdays (mostly). If you are local they host a beer pong tournament, I have played a season myself, it is very fun. They do serve food, and I have had a handful of items. I wouldn't say it's impressive, it truly is bar food. I would say go for the fries though, they are awesome!!! If you like to play pool, this is the place to go for great tables. They keep everything in very very good shape, and have a huge selection of very good pool sticks. If you haven't been to Billco's I highly recommend you check it out, but be prepared to spend some cash. You will have a great time though, that is for sure!

Walking in from the parking lot, I expected this place to be very "hole in the wall"ish. And while it has that vibe, the large space and numerous pool tables provides a great and welcoming atmosphere. As a beer lover myself, this place had such a wide selection of beers on tap, it was hard to choose one! For the beer not so lovers or the gluten intolerant, they do have angry orchard and a few other hard ciders... or just stick to pool! I'm not a huge pool player, but with the right group of people to hang out with, this is a great place for people to hang out.

One of my favorite bars we visited in Napa! - Tons of great West Coast beers on tap (although they were out of quite a few) - "Secret" beer selection in the back that we were able to explore because we're good at making friends - Tons of dart board and pool tables for entertainment - Lots of cheap food specials - Juke box with veto power for the bartenders - I'm pretty sure this is NOT tourist bar, so it's great spot to meet the local people and charm them with your East Coast ways ;)

What a great place this is. Endless pool tables, weird and scary looking two man band who looked like ZZ Top rejects but man did they rock! LOL!!! They actually played "Learning to Fly" by TP and the Heartbreakers yay babay! Anyhow, FANTASTIC taps that would almost rival Tom Nickels from O'Briens place down here in sunny San Diego. I have to honestly admit that I DEARLY love Lagunitas IPA... why oh why can't we get more of their beers on draft in San Diego? A special shout out to the bartender who gave me a free pint when he saw me almost wet myself after I drank the first Lagunitas IPA... Fantastic! (BTW, play "mix that pint". They will make a mix and match pint for you if you say: Pint Roulette!!!! ) We'll be back here in November!

Good service, great beer selection. Food was solid and nice big portions. Spacious place with great pool tables, darts and friendly folks

The employees are great! They are extremely friendly and I know as a female, I can be here alone and i feel safe. The atmosphere is very relaxed. There are pool tables, darts, and the occasional dice game. On special occasions a live band is usually playing. I've been a patron here for a long while now. The regulars are welcoming and will make you laugh. I met some life Long friends at this bar. If you want a great spot to stop at this is your place. The real Napa is here. You'll love this spot. Please don't be a jerk, wear a mask. If you like beer, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!

The customer service here is just god awful. Save your money and effort, unless you really want want to play pool. Other than pool tables the place is trash

There aren't many dive bars that I am willing to frequent this far north. In fact, Billco's might be the only one. The folks here fancy to have established a great space to hang out with a few friends and have some quality craft brews, maybe play some pool if you're able to get a table. But the problem with their mission and the implementation is this: The service here is seriously disgusting. I mean, the bartenders are some of the rudest that I have encountered anywhere, and despite having a ton of great, local beers on tap, are enough to encourage me to cross the bridge and head down to the Bay for beers and billiards. The bridge toll is a small price to pay for decency. Let's talk details. I had been told by my girlfriend and others that the bartenders here were terrible, but you just can never be too sure until you experience it for yourself. Well, sadly, they were all correct. The people behind the bar seem more concerned with making friends and chatting it up with the bros wearing backwards hats and polo shirts than actually doing their job, while moving fluidly between indifferent and abrasive. One anecdote involves a lousy dart we were given one evening, which was totally broken and bent. We went to the counter shortly after receiving it and asked for a new one, considering it would not be possible to really play with a dart that didn't fly correctly. The guy behind the bar basically accused us of having bent it (we had only thrown it once just to experience how awful it really would have been), and told us that they didn't have any more to give us. Difficult to believe, since there were still 2 or 3 unused boards, but whatever. I get it, tough guy. The other bartenders will simply ignore you as long as they can, choosing instead to prioritize their friends or people they went to high school with. They will sigh and stare off down the bar while you order, avoiding eye contact like some odd robot and mechanically pouring your beer. It is cold, and expressionless, and although it is service, it makes you feel like a burden or an inconvenience. It's too bad, really. There are so many great beers on tap, and so few places like this in the area. The saddest part about it all is that I don't think most of the folks who frequent here really care all that much, so this is unlikely to change any time soon. If you are really itching for pool or darts, or if you flat out just don't care about being rudely treated and perhaps ignored for long periods of time, then this is certainly not a bad spot to check out. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

Billcos is a great hang out spot and their prices are affordable. I have played pool several times here and little did I know that their food would be tasty. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries, which was only $6 & it was worth it. I would definitely go back for their food. I like this place except for the fact that it smells like a pack of cigarettes.

We wanted to find karaoke after dinner and found this place. It didn't have karoke, but the bar was a lot of fun with a cool jukebox and darts and Billards. Was def a happening spot!
