I just recently learned of a pool hall in New Orleans, that I was not aware of, in the past 9 months that I have lived here, and they very recently opened back up, and allow people to shoot pool, with limited capacity (with 25% of their pool tables being open to play on, I assume)

The area that it is located in (in MID-CITY) does not feel very safe, and the place seemed like kind of a dive, in my opinion, because the tables did not appear to be in very good condition, and the place just did not look very nice (in my opinion).
Anyways, it appears to be the only pool hall that is currently open in the entire metro area, where you can go to shoot some pool.
I was only in there for a few minutes, to check out my new cue, a few days ago, and they claim to have 28 tables, but maybe because the place was so dark, and the lights turned out on many of the tables, it did not appear to have that many tables. I did see many 9 foot tables though.
They have pretty strict rules for entering the pool hall / bar, and that is that you must sign in when you enter, show a valid ID, and sign out when you leave. You must wear a mask (unless eating or drinking), and you are not allowed to interact with anyone inside the bar, unless they were with you when you came in. And you must remain 6 feet apart from people in the bar.
Anyways, it seems to be the only current option, if you want to shoot some pool in the New Orleans area.
Lacy's Cue, Buffalos Billiards, and all other pool halls in the area are closed, but Lacy's Cue, and Buffalos Billiards is open for their Restaurant (but you can't play pool).
The thing that I do not understand is, if Shamrock is allowed to open their pool hall, with limited capacity, then why are other pool halls in the area not allowing people to shoot pool with limited capacity? Makes no sense to me why this Shamrock bar is the only one that is doing this.
From what I have been told, the Governor of LA is not allowing any stand up activities, like shooting pool for example, so maybe Shamrock bar is breaking the law? I do not know.
Just wish that Buffalos would reopen their tables in the same way.
Even more shocking, is that it was the owner of Buffalos Billiards (James Leone, who I follow, because I love to read his posts), who posted about Shamrock now being open to shoot pool, on his facebook page, so I do not get why he is not able to do the same thing.
