a second chance and it has paid off,” admits Mike. And payoff it has, Mike has seen a nearly 20% growth in his business each year, which is amazing when pool halls are closing all over the country. Mike has combined leagues and tournaments to offer something to all his customers no matter their skill level. He also tries to offer his customers everything pool that he can. He has his flat screen TV tied into his computer so that when Dennis Hatch, a regular at Bison Billiards, was playing in the U.S. Open 10 Ball tournament from Las Vegas everyone could sit around and enjoy the game. The anniversary tournament was a great success. Congratulations goes to Jason Hunt who went all the way through the winners bracket and did not lose a match.

Bison Billiards has a monthly 8-Ball Bar Box tournament, a monthly 9-Ball tournament, a Thursday Night 9 Ball Tournament, APA and BCAPL leagues, full menu, beer and wine and is an all around great place to play pool.
