Olympic Billiards closed permanently. It was the only pool hall on 17th Ave and one of the only real authentic dive bars in the city. 17th Ave construction, Covid and really strong Covid restrictions on pool halls did a lot of damage. The final nail in the coffin after a decent recovery from Covid was a break into the upstairs space where the thieves were looking for copper. They brook a water line, causing a flood and then insurance became all hell to deal with.
Owner is a close friend of mine and what he has gone through in recent years business wise is shocking.
