I'm really only aware of a couple of places with 9 footers here in the Denver area. I frequent Table Steakes (soon to be Billiard Ink), and Charlies. Table Steaks seems more accessable based on where you'll be staying. It's down south on Broadway and Floyd I believe, but you may want to look it up to be sure. Their new staff doesn't put up with any crap, the food is good and affordable, and the level of play is pretty good. It won't take you but 15 minutes of walking in the door before ATM will approach you for some cheap sets!

Table Steaks / Billiards Ink (Englewood not Aurora) is where all of the action is right now.
Gabe Owen has been there for the last week, and John Schidt & Earl Strickland did a great exhibition last night.
ATM Andy is the house player as well as Mark Haddad and others.
With Gabe in town we are calling ATM the house loser.
Charlies is a good place and closer to Arvada and Golden.
107th & Melody Drive.
Greenfields in Lakewood is a good place.
Several bar box tables, decent food, nice bar, no kids.
If you need any more info let me know.
Dang, sounds like I should have gone out there this week! Earl hangs out at a local spot here in Greensboro, so it's not all that exciting to see him, but I've never met JS or GO.
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely check out Table Steaks at least one day, and probably Charlies too. It's definitely closer to where I'm staying, plus "Charlies" is the name of the room where I first starting playing pool. Charlie died years ago and his room went with him. He's also the bastard that got me hooked on Crown Royal. On second thought, maybe I shouldn't go to Charlies.

I'll do a Crown with you.
A designated driver is recommended.
Hit me up when and if you go to Charlies. That's pretty much where I call home simply by default of location. I'll agree with most however, that Table Steaks of late is the place to be.

Cool. When my plans solidify I'll let ya know.

Watch out for Tokyo Dave.
He picked up my Brazilian ebony Sugartree.
Is that contagious?

"Tokyo-dave"s wife and daughter come back tonight from a 3 month summer vacation, so I'm going to be regulated to weekend warrior status! Damn, finally starting to get a bit of a stroke too!

Beg as much as you want. You are not getting my Lucasi!
Also the sign on Charlies Billiards still says Colorado Cue Club last time I looked.
I want that Lucasi
Also the sign on Billiards Ink still says Table Steaks
As you know it is a one of a kind Lucasi. I think it is the only Lucasi in the world with a custom linen wrap by cue maker Chris Byrne.
