The Hippodrome Billiards Academy opened in 1914 in Buffalo, NY. The greatest players in history have passed through their doors, and ran many racks. Players such as Willie Mosconi, Willie Hoppe, Jerome Keogh, Earl Strickland, Minnesota Fats, and many others have played here. The majority of the pooltables in the establishment are 1964 Viscount models made by Brunswick. Here, the business owner Richard "Dick" Vallone explains a little bit more on the history of the Hippodrome Billiard Academy. *Disclamer*** I DO NOT OWN THE FOOTAGE SHOT IN THE LOCATION, IT IS OWNED BY CH4*
I used to go to the old location down town. This place is nice, but I miss the old one. Just felt right dodging bums and smelling like a pack of Palmal's.
