2/28/26 I'm here for the soft opening for the new owners. They are all awesome!!! Lots of great staff from before and some new people, all the best! They occasionally have food, how often to be determined. Great place for pool and they have darts boards. The patio is covered and a great place to hang out! Great place for darts and pool. We had a good time.

Great neighborhood dive with Jell-O shots and a fine cast of regulars, free roaming dogs, and pool tables of questionable provenance.

Christy is my favorite bartender on the Earth! She is very attentative, and a fast server. She definitely brings a lot of positive energy. The Bar is one of the better spots in the area. A few pool tables, a nice jukebox, and always has the sports I want to watch on. It is a biker bar, so someone who hasn't been there should expect that. Definitely a spot to check out!

J
Janice Holmes

The laid back atmosphere and delicious drinks at the right price make the 8 Ball a wonderful place to relax and kick back. I've been visiting this establishment for years and love it!

Fantastic little dive bar. Stopped in after driving all night from Phoenix to Rohnert Park. Friendly locals and friendly bartender. She whipped up a delicious Bloody Maria for me and the prices were decent.

B
Brikell Burns

Don is so cool and made a Bloody Mary!! This is the only spot for a blood Mary on the road- other bars don’t have.

J
Jenn Price

Your classic dive bar feel, but friendly crowds overall. Lots of Cotati locals. Jessie works Thurs - Sat nights and is my favorite bartender. She's on point - quick, efficient, sassy, and keeps the vibe positive. There's pool and darts and a patio out back. Good times!

M
Mike Williamson (Big Mike)

Great place for a cold one (or 4) Interesting crowd. At first it may look rowdy but it's full of people you'll be glad to hang out with. Great place to watch the big game - whatever your sport is. Fyi, all Tom Brady fans have to use the lady's room.

Great for catching the game while enjoying some libations...or for grabbing a quick beer or cocktail...either way if you want an escape from the world, grab a pool table or bar stool and enjoy.

Your standard dive bar. With the likely suspects. Pool tables. Great affordable drinks. A bit smoky so if you are at all sensitive to cigarettes you might want to pass this place up.

We went on Christmas day and had a great time. The bartender was very nice but made the worst bloody Mary I ever had in my life lol oh well.

It would have been perfect, except for the smells emanating from the dingy, foetid urinals...like if Satan drank bongwater and ate asparagus while doing meth before releasing a fiery stream of steaming orange piss into a chamber pot....yeah, and the weird, flickering light that only illuminates a fraction of the door where two guys were going to town was disturbing...i think there might have been 3 guys in the stall, cause there was a real "Human Centipede" situation going on

Due to an ownership change, there seems to be a different feel now. Still a nice hole in the wall place for a day drinks.

E

It's dive bar drinks are fairly cheep just put some windows in that cave

Busy. Nice out door area. Pool tables need help and a change machine would make a huge difference

great dive bar get a bit rowdy ... go with a dude lol

Long bar but customers on the end feel the cold every time the door opens. I saw a mixed crowd of young and older crowd. The bartender was busy. The only carb-friendly beers are domestic lights. They do have Grey Goose vodka as an alternative if you're watching your carbohydrate intake. That way you can still catch a buzz without the headache the next morning.

It's part of the college crawl after 10 pm. So unless your into really loud(I think it was)music and cover charges with door men and bouncers I would go somewhere else.

Expensive Hornitos, no Eye of the Hawk, crooked pool table, jukebox was super lame, bartender was unattractive..

on 07/31/13 i called the 8 ball bar to see about seating for a group of 20 business men i asked for the owner jojn graham the recp/ bartender was extremely rude stating she will not put the owner on the phone and they dont talk to sales people she refused to give me her name and stated they did not want me to come in for service... lol how funny is this??? some people should not have any authority because the dont know how to use it properly no way in the world should a "manager" speak to any one in that tone or manner she should be fired asap.

Awful experience, staff in general is horrible and specially the brunette bar tender. Not Friendly environment in general even in terms of costumers . I will never come back. I advice to everybody to avoid this place

Only went once with some friends years ago I never went back and won't. We ordered a few different drinks non of them where anything to remember except my tequila sunrise because it was served with ants. I took a drink noticed something when I swallowed I take my drink to the light to see multiple ants I couldn't believe it. I go to the bartender he makes another I look down ants again. He holds up the grenadine there's tons of ants, the oj also had ants I was done my friends ask what's up I tell them they finished there drinks that surprised me I wouldn't have finished my drink in a place like.

Staff is horrible, very standoffish. Came to play pool but got bullied by a group at the table who refused to move and made our whole experience very uncomfortable. The Mexican security guard was horrible when we asked if they table could please leave us alone for all a single game. He wouldn’t even let me speak, kept cutting me off saying those people are very polite so he doesn’t believe me. Trash company
