TXsouthpaw...Is Paradise Billiards still going, in Corpus? I remember talking to the owner, at the trade show, several years ago, when he was getting ready to open the room. I read about it, after it opened, and it seemed like a nice room, but I've never made it in there.

Awesome. Now hopefully we can get a lone star stop in corpus. Houston gets all the love.

yeah its stilll here. Its THE room to play in locally. 12 foot snooker table and heated 3 cushion table too. plus seperate areas for 9 and 8 footers. So the big games arent next to the weekend drunks. Had an IPT qualifier there also. And the corpus classic for like 3 years drew alot of people. Rodney,Gabe,Parica,and more. But as for regional tours none of them have a stop here. No fast eddies or lone star tour or the midlevel clicks things either. Sux.

But yeah. Everyone stop by paradise when your in town.

Well actually the Classic was stopped because it cost Harrison too much to run it from what I heard. Too bad cause it sure helped bring pool players to the sport here in this coastal town.

Harrison Todd runs that pool hall, and trust me it is a nice place to play. Actually the nicest in town.

I ran the BCA 8 ball league there for the last year, and was thinking about running a 9 ball league. (Maybe I still will later, but not right now! LOL)

I doubt Slicks Willie's will put a lonestar stop here in Corpus, but maybe they will prove me wrong! I have been wrong before, but there has been rumor of the Slick Willie's closing here in Corpus for a while.

3 pool halls have already closed and we originally had 9. Slick's just had a shooting in their parking lot, and it probably won't help business much. :(

Ques closed first, then Hot Shots, then Theo's

And rumor has it that Theo's might open! I talked to the Realtor that is leasing it, and it isn't a for sure thing yet. Even told me how much they would lease it out for. Has everything still in it minus 3 tables.

Oh yeah forgot about Ques. That place was a dump. Never considered it a poolhall. More a sports bar.
 
Used to be 9

Used to be nine

Que's
Spanky's
Rascal's
Click's
Hot Shots
Rack Daddy's
Theo's
Slick's
Paradise

Then one opened on leopard in front of that topless bar. I think it is called Pockets?

Que's closed, Hot Shots closed, Theo's closed.

Rumor has it Slick's might close, and Click's might close (don't know how true that is.)

Rumor also says one might open on Saratoga somewhere too.

Well when it was Buckets it was definitely just a sports bar. However, Ques tried to promote itself as an affordable pool hall. Had coin ops and some cheap ass 7' tables in the back that you could rent by the hour. Mostly the college downtown crowd would go there. LOL

I never go downtown anyways. Easiest way to get arrested is to go downtown.

And yeah Theos will be reopened soon, talked to the new owner a few weeks ago. He showed me the keys and said theyre bringing in 2 nine footers also. I dont care about that I just wanted to know if I was still gonna get free pool lol. He said yeah. :thumbup:


Theyre bringing back Robin adair also. Got my drinking buddy back now too.:thumbup:
