Here's a bit of eye candy for the morning. Does anyone remember this room and does a form of it still exist?

That looks more of a straight Billiard Room rather than a Pool Room, not a pocket to be seen. Wonder if those tables are around somewhere. Isn't George Fels from that area? He may know. He's old enough to have seen it open I think

I could be wrong but I beleive the Pool tables are on the other side of the divider.

And there hasn't been, for at least the last 50 years.

Brunswick was one of the companies producing cues like that. They can still be had on Ebay.
