I love Red Shoes Bar/Grill/Billiards

What a great place to play.

Totally worth a 4 hour drive, and John is a great owner.

I've played a lot of people there, never come out ahead, never broke even, but still had fun.

Can't find an even game there yet, but that's because I play so bad.
And no one in Indy wants to snap me off with a fair game?

Be back soon John, keep that 1st table warm.

Forgot the main table was the camera table also.

I must have had people laughing their arse off at my play.

We're you there last night?

Jaden

Btw all four tables in the roped off area are stream tables

 

[Jaden]

I was there most of yesterday.

I was playing on table 12 for seven or eight hours yesterday. 12 is the second one from the bar in the roped off area.

[u12armresl]

No, I played on the front table where everyone who works there plays on.

It was a few days ago.

Hope you had fun.

been wanting to get up there and check it out. I live in Indiana,i think its about 2.5 hours from me,my dad is handicapped so its hard to get out much. I have a few friends from MIsshewaka In. that play there a little. Are there any nice motels to stay in that are close by. Would love to check it out and maybe find some cheap action on the streaming table.

 

[u12armresl]

Did you say nice AND motel in the same sentence?

No there aren't. There are crappy Hotels which are expensive. If you're only 2.5 hours away, why not drive home, I did.

It's a 24 hour trip.

 

[The_Rookie]

In Alsip? Hmm. Only about 35 minutes away. I think I may have to stop in.

 

[u12armresl]

John will owe me a bloody mary no alcohol for all this advertising.

Oh, there are some nice hotels, maybe not right in Alsip, but very close by. Check out Hotels.com , you will find some decent places that are not expensive in the south suburbs...

And yeah, it's a nice place, with exceptional equipment. also happens to be the "home room" of Freddy the Beard

A "Bloody Mary" with no booze is a "Virgin Mary" (or tomato juice with tabasco sauce, pepper, salt and a celery stick). "Table #12" is actually "Table #15"...we have the table numbers on the lights...some years ago the light fixture over table #15 "died"...so I took an unused fixture ( #12)...blacked out the "#12" and put that over table #15....the only problem is that from certain angles...you can still see the "#12"...It is not really a problem though for pool room operation because "IF" your behind the velvet ropes...your a "player"....NO CIVILIANS ALLOWED behind the ropes....civilians (the public) can NOT request nor will they be assigned a table behind the "ropes". The FRONT table (main table) is table #14.

Hey wait, you shorted me on the Celery, and what about the Worcestershire sauce. Now I have house credit.


No salt ughhhhhhh was there salt in that one?

I always have a great time playing at red shoe. They run it like a pool hall should be run even though they did pressure me to join a union. Lol.

Reasonable rates and good playing conditions on either side of the ropes...

Those Chicago guys ain't half bad...
