It was at 1834 E. Platte in Colorado Springs....called "Grady's". Lots about it in his book.
You should avail yourself of his great book "Bet High and Kiss Low".
It is a great read about pool gambling, girls, and all the rest.
It also has some great exposes of some of the bullshit artist "sacred cows" who come around this place.
The good thing about Grady's stories is that every one of them can be verified by someone who is still alive.
Here's an example of some of the stuff: "During that year, Sandi and I saved our cash and I looked for suitable buildings for a pool room. I found one at 1834 E. Platte. It was 3000 sq. feet, not as big as I had desired but in a great location. I made an appointment to see the property and when I got there, to my surprise, two other men were trying to rent the building also. One wanted to put in a hardware store, the other a flower shop, and dumb me:a pool hall. The real estate guy says to me, in front of the other gentlemen, "I really don't think a pool hall is the best use for this property". Thinking fast, I said to him, where the other guys could hear, "I'm going to make you an offer and then I'm going to walk away for a few minutes. Then when I come back, you can tell me what you've decided." I didn't hesitate, "I 'll give you one year's rent in advance in cash and sign a 5 year lease". Needless to say he accepted the offer".
The book is 8x10, 150 pages and filled with photographs and great stories from a REAL pool player who would bet with both hands using his own money..
I had mine spiral bound and must have read it forty times.
