Going through some of my old pics over the holiday weekend I realized that I had a couple of pics of the famous Chris's Billiards of Chicago, where scenes from The Color Of Money were filmed...I know there have been guys in the past who have wondered/asked what this old school poolroom looks like (up on the second floor, old support pillars, old pool photos and posters on the walls, worn 40 yr. old carpeting and linoleum, etc.), so I thought I'd post up these pics...these pics were taken on a quiet afternoon...
Chris's is only so-so for action nowadays, but during the 80's-90's there was real good and constant action...
Chris's is a huge poolroom - 45 tables - these two pics are of the main front room which has 15 tables, and a 6/12 snooker table - this room is where most of the action games takes place...to the right of this room is a separate, slightly smaller room with 10 tables, and through the back archways is a huge room - as big as the first two rooms combined...one of the things that's always been great about Chris's Billiards is that since it's so big, there's tons of room, and comfortable arm chairs, around all of the tables.
