The old Table Stakes is no more. Furniture store, I believe.:frown:I was going up there twice a month for a while a couple of years ago, and checked out every pool room in the area. My favorite was Table Stakes on Sheridan and 20th. There was lot's of action for just about any game you could want to play, good players, relatively well maintained equipment, a nice layout, and I think they were open 24-7. My second choice was Paradise Billiards whichI think was just up the road on Sheridan and maybe 38th? Also a respectable pool room with a little action, but not like Table Stakes. I heard that the owners of Table Stakes had just opened another location the last time I was there, but I didn't get to check it out. The word was that the new location was going to become the new go to pool hall for Denver players, but I'm not sure if that happened or not. Maybe some Denver players will chime in and give some more up to date info.

Folks:
I also will be in Denver from the afternoon of Dec. 24th, through Jan 2nd (leaving on a red-eye back to NY that night). I will be in the Lakewood area (but has a Denver mailing address), spending the holidays with my folks and extended family. The nearest places to play, for me, are the following:
Greenfields Pool and Sports Bar
http://greenfieldsbar.com/
(This place is literally in walking distance from my folks' house, but it's a sports bar with bar-boxes. I'm more of a big-table kind of guy, but this place is good in a pinch. Plus, they have some open tournaments peppered throughout their schedule on their main web page, so, oh heck, I might just have to show up.)
There's also "Sheridan Billiards" on Sheridan Blvd which is a 5min drive for me, but the last time I was in there (last year), it seemed a bit decrepit. (Tables were not well-maintained at all, either.)
Does anyone know this general area I'm speaking of, and would be able to recommend a close good-quality hall? Are the previously mentioned places (e.g. Table Steaks, Rack 'Em, and Paradise Billiards) close to this general area?
Would love to hook up with any AZB'ers while out there. I have a great straight pool and 1-hole game, but I'm willing to play anything -- just love to play regardless.
PM me with contact info if interested!

As an ambassador of pool -l feel it its incumbent on all to insure you get action while you visit The Mile High Wonderment that is Denver Colorado. Unfortunately, my game is only about six inches off the ground, but l know a guy whose knows a guy.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND WELCOME TO DENVER, WE WILL ENDEAVOR TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED DURING YOUR STAY.
