Another Pool Hall Closing.............

Red Barn Billiards, with it's years and years of historical memories for me and my fellow players in Kingman.......................wait a minute, back to reality. It just opened in February of this year but it has already closed it's doors. This town is good for one thing and one thing only. Old people come here to die. Sad, but true. Red Barn Billiards was the best thing that could happen, for me, I thought, when it opened. 2 blocks from my house, 12 tables, and 2 tournaments a week. I think I won about $2,000 there, between the tournaments, and the small action I would create for $10 and $20 a game. The owners, Gene, and Lynn Gregor, are two really nice people that gave it their all to make this work but there was absolutely no support from the community and customers. People in this town like to drink alcohol when they play pool and are fascinated by putting their quarters into the coin slot and watch the balls drop. I really thought that a pool hall would work in this town until I saw the difference in the bar atmoshere, compared to the pool room. Oh, in case you're wondering, "Why didn't he just get a liquor license?", in this fine county of ours, Mohave County, they don't sell them anymore. Next year they are going to sell 3 of them in a lottery draw, but from what I heard, this may be for the whole state of Arizona, not just this county. So, until another pool hall tries to open up around here, I'll be stuck on the bar tables. 1 tournament a week, $5 entry fee, and lucky to get 16 players. If anyone in this forum knows how to obtain a liquor license for this county, you could have the one and only pool hall within 150 miles, no competitors, and just about wipe out the bar scene in the whole city. Peace, John.

Sorry to hear, Rude Dog. Seems like yesterday we on the forum were sharing in your excitement when the room opened. We on the forum share in your disappointment.
