Very few 9ft tables in Shreveport. A couple at Side Pocket's Billiards in Shreveport, couple at Eddie's Tavern in Bossier City, half dozen or so at Red River Billiards in Bossier City. Small entry bar table tournaments on Friday nights at Side Pocket Billiards in Shreveport and Pool Hub in Bossier City.
The post by D Weathersby covered it well fro what I can remember. The Shreveport/Bossier area seems to be a big hub for APA play, so most of the offerings are 7 foot tables.
I travelled there for work a few times in 2018 and 2020, and spent a lot of time at Sidepocket Billiards. There were mostly 7 footers for the leagues, but a 9 footer near the entrance that always seemed to have a couple guys on it playing 1P. That would be my first stop for 1P action. Played in a few of their APA style tournaments while I was there, very friendly people.
There's a place in southern Shreveport called Break-N-Run that has eight 7-footers and they run weeknight APA style tournaments too. Also very friendly people.
Eddie's Tavern in Bossier was nice, only there once, it's in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Newer place at the time I went a few years ago, and again, nice people.
Someone on here suggested Robbie's to me, but it always looked closed when I drove past.
Bill Schick's place was in Shreveport, but I think that is closed now. They had a lot of big tables from what I remember, but was only there once in 2018.
They all allowed smoking when I was there, and it gets thick in some places.

I’m at Red River right now eating some red fish.
They have four Tournament matte black GC6’s in the middle of the room. They look nice but the fit and finish is not good. Pocket irons stick up a lot. Cloth install is hack worthy.
Table plays good, very similar to a blue label Diamond. Yes they play short for a Brunswick. Ball holder is just stupid but at least there is one.
