Mark is right about the Roadrunner burgers!
Does anybody know the hall that used to be on Old Seward? Just south of Tudor I think. I was last there in the late 90s, don't remember the name. It was underneath a night club, entrance around back. There had maybe 20 tables, including a few beautiful antiques. Pretty empty when I was in there, usually just 4 or 5 of old guys (ha! probably younger than me now) playing golf on a snooker table. (They had 2, maybe 3.) I wonder where all those tables are now.
That was the original Anchorage Billiard Palace. Full of antiques. Nicest pool room in the country. I was probably one of the golf players you saw.
I never could understand why Alaska hasn't turned out more top tier players. They really don't have many pool halls there either. 8 months of cold ass winter...not much else to do.
PS: I use to get a bowl of chili at the Chena Bar in Fairbanks and then walk from bar to bar in well below zero, with a flannel shirt on.

Dang, soon as I saw the title of the thread I was saying to myself, Mark will be the first to post but you were second!
I believe those were the tables from Palace Billiards in San Fran. Great solid tables. I remember watching Louis Lemke school a few people on those tables.
