In The Color of Money, Paul Newman walks up those stairs and makes a quick right turn. The tables you videotaped are nowhere to be seen in the actual movie...the result of some sort of expansion/renovation? Thanks for sharing...
@puredigitalcam In the movie, the only pool tables in the hall were on the right side. If he made a left you woulda seen the rest of the bar and a bunch of bowling lanes behind the left wall, so they left that side out of the movie lol.
Awesome, this is the place where Eddie gets hustled by Forrest Whitaker's character right? That stairway looks familiar, the same one where Vencent and Eddie parted ways and Vincent rips thje railing off the wall?
This is where Eddie has Vincent throw the game. He was feeling sorry for an old man and was dogging shots. Remember they get in a fight there?

Neither of them played pool very good in that movie-average players at best. I don't know why people found this movie to be so great anyhow.

Man, that's one legendary and hard hittin' pool hall and it's awesome that the place is still going strong :)
If I ever get my ass over to the US, I'm gonna be stopping by Chitown to check out Chris' Billiards, just to be able to shoot some pool there :)
Thanks for the video, top rating for a top class pool hall :) Willie

I read on the net that Chris' is where Vince plays Grady the first time. That's it.
