Locas Billiards Previous Locations
The pool hall originally started on Salter St. in Halifax.
5187 Salter St
Halifax, NS, Canada
Locas Billiards was a pioneer in becoming a smoke free pool hall in Halifax, NS in 2004, 2 years before legislation required it. Owner Mike Cann said:
"Instead of basing our business on smokers, we based it on non-smokers or smokers who didn't mind going outside to smoke"
It then moved south to Doyle St. just off Spring Garden Rd.
5430 Doyle St
Halifax, NS B3J1G1
This location was razed to make way for the new Halifax Public Library development, and Locas Billiards moved into the current George St. location from here.
Locas Billiards (5430 Doyle Street) has finally found a home at 5171 George St. in Halifax's downtown core. "I think we landed the nicest room in the city," says Mike Cann, one of the owners of Locas Billiards.
"We have a massive team of people helping. Our regulars were hunting for locations," Cann credits one of those regulars, JR, with landing this one. "They’re all chipping in to clean and all that stuff, putting on tool belts. That's the way it went down last time we moved, too."
The George St space is currently undergoing complete renovations, with the aim of being moved in by October 1, 2015. The last day at Locas' Doyle Street spot is currently slated for September 18, 2015.
History of Locas Billiards Downtown Halifax, NS
Locas previous premises originally served as the Grand Ballroom of Freemasons Hall hosting some of the premiere social events in Halifax reaching back more than a century. Following the strains of a lively orchestra, the movers and shakers of the city swirled ladies in expansive ball gowns under no less than 5 huge chandeliers. Some say it holds claim as the oldest Billiards room east of the Mississippi River.
In 1949, Tommy Lagan, a world class billiards player, opened for business. In those days ladies were not allowed to enter, but the lunch counter was famous in the city for tasty simple fare at a good price. The Coast says the location: “Was a top notch snooker hall for decades opening in the late forties; suit and tie, no foul language or loud music. Sharks, hustlers, and excellent pool players frequented it.”
Photographs of top Halifax players and Canadian pool luminaries such as George Chenier, and Cliff Thorburn adorn the walls of the club. There's also one of a sour-pussed Prime Minister John Diefenbaker celebrating his birthday. Mr. Snooker himself, Ken Shea, is represented too…. And if you've ever held a cue you'll probably recognize a few more of Halifax's finest.
