Another Pool Hall Gone: The Cuckoo’s Nest

On the way to the dentist this morning I discovered The Cuckoo’s Nest–the pool hall at University and Greenville–is no longer. By the looks of the broken windows and not-new For Lease sign, I’m guessing it closed months and months ago. As pool halls go, it’s not much of a loss. Not like West End Billiards, which was awesome (but I’m biased: a Molson beer rep gave out free samples the one night I happen to be there, even though it was a school night and even though I was still in school). At least Sharky’s, the dive at Walnut Hill and Greenville, is still in operation. And, for fancy cue action, there’s always Dave & Buster’s and Carson’s Live. Anyone been to that new place Dallas Billiards at Fitzhugh and Bryan?
