So, I finally got to check out our new pool room today . They have been open since I made the post a little while back, maybe a month or so. I was out running errands today and got a bug up my tail and decided to check them out today . I can sum up the place with one word ---- NICE. Yes, currently there are only barboxes, DIAMONDS. They use Cyclops with a measles cue ball. Not a fan but the tables are nice, and the atmosphere was great ! I believe there were 7 tables, once again all BB'S and they were all Diamonds. After speaking with the manager ( I'll get to that BTW ) it is confirmed that they are in fact cutting a hole in the floor and will be putting all Diamonds 9 footers up stairs . The engineers are coming on Wednesday . The big tables are going up where Big Daddys used to be.
Got some AWESOME NEWS, Being that this is a bar the normal closing time will be 2 am of course. But wait! There's more!!! The downstairs which is a bar and has the barboxes will in fact close at 2am, HOWEVER the upstairs which will have the 9 footers is being set up separately and will REMAIN open as long as there is action to be had ! !!!!! That's right boyz, the top part will NOT BE CLOSING AT 2AM!!!!! How cool is that?????
So, as it turns out an old buddy of mine is the Manger there. Yall probably know the dude, his name is Steve and he used to run the Tuesday tournament at big Daddy's. I know Curtis ( AZ- Inside English ) knows Steve well. He's a really good dude and for sure is a great choice to run this place!!!! Steve GF ( NICOLE ) plays really sporty ( don't tell her I said so cause she'll get a big head - she always used to beat me every time I played in that Tues tourney Lolo loll , she's tough for real!). Anyhow, nice nice place and I think they will do well. No tournaments as of yet but by fall they will start.
As I mentioned I went in today just as a spur of the moment type thing. I'm so glad I did. I ran into some very good old friends, just by chance. I ran into Chieffie, and GE Bob. As it turns out, GE Bob is gonna run the poolroom upstairs. Chief is a VERY good friend of mine and he was THE Houseman at the old Jack & Jills. I did a post about him a long time ago as " BEST HOUSEMAN EVER PERIOD!!!!" and I still say that to this day.
All and all this place has great people in place and I think this is gonna be a real nice joint and it is gonna be " a players room " and unlike Big Daddys that it is replacing I have a feeling that they are gonna cater to the action ! !!!! For those of Yall that are familiar with the area and it's rooms, I think this place is the real deal and IMHO is gonna be THE SPOT , for our area anyways!!!!
