Thank you, Jerry Banks is right. I played Charlie Brinson there. Saw Larry Price, Stevie Moore, Danny Diliberto, etc. There was also a strip joint next door.

What is it now? Mexican restaurant?

Last I knew, it was still open but flooded with Latinos. Lots of drunken fights, cops called a bunch. I think Jerry sold it and it went down hill fast, from what I hear. I never got to go there myself though I'm right down the road in Spartanburg.

I think this is another room called World Billiards and it's still open. Jerry's has been closed for a number of years.

I think you're talking about the large room owned by the billiard player, whose name escapes me at the moment, World Cup Billiards. It's on White Horse Road.
Last I heard was Lucky Break was still open, Jerry did not own it anymore, and it was predominately Latino. That was many years ago now, though.
