Unfortunately those two words in the same sentance create an oxymoron.

The Colorado Cue Club
I don't know if you guys heard this or not, or read about this on the forum, but the Colorado Cue Club has closed their doors. The owner is a friend of mine from way back when I first started playing pool. He just stopped in here about a month ago and we played some pool and caught up on everything going on in our lives. Little did I know that he was about to close his doors. As one of colorado's biggest pool halls, it is kind of shocking to hear this news. The economy is killing a lot of pool halls all over the country. To keep the doors open he resorted back to driving truck to pay the bills, hoping he could keep the lights on. I really have the upmost respect for him, and what he tried to do in Denver. He started out owning a pool hall in Grand Forks, ND. When I first got addicted to the game, his place was where I really got hooked on playing tournaments. From what I hear, the pool community in Denver is shocked as well. He appeared to be doing fairly well, but apparently not. Sad day for pool in Denver! My best wishes go out to him, his family, and everyone that was associated with The Colorado Cue Club.
Just thought I would share a little about this. Let's hope that this economic state that we are in changes soon!!

That sucks. These are tough times right now. And even tougher going into the summer for pool halls.
I almost bought Smokeys about 7 or 8 years ago but after I looked at the financial numbers, I realized I would have to personally work the bar in order to meet my needs as far as income and even though I loved pool, I knew I didn't want that life. In some ways, I wish I would have bought the bar, but in others, I knew what a toll it would have taken on me.
That being said, props to you for sticking through it and keeping your head above water and having a positive attitude about it. And good luck to your friend.

Too bad on the club in Denver. About four / five years ago, I played at Shakespears in Denver and REALLY liked the room. I went back to denver last year and heard it was gone and couldn't find it. I couldn't figure a room that made me feel so good about spending my money would disappear. I did hear the rent after the area became a 'renewel district' went through the roof. Probably the root cause.
Maybe there is too much good skiing in Denver?
Craw - Duke RULES!
