Snooker players in northeast Illinois will shortly have two new places in which to play and improve their skills.

On Cue Billiards in Grayslake, which closed its doors in October of last year, has had a complete refurbishment and is expected to reopen July 1 under new ownership.

The new billiard room is to be renamed "Shooters" and will feature 15 nine-foot pool tables, one regulation standard full-sized twelve foot snooker table (see below), in addition to darts and a full service bar.

Shooters is located at 1858 E. Belvidere Road in Grayslake.

In Crystal Lake, Mr. Don Sitarski has set up his full-sized snooker table (see below), and has invited local players to establish and organize the Aces Snooker Club.

Members will have their own key and 24-hour access to the snooker table in the new facility. Players interested in joining can e-mail Mr. Sitarski: snooker@acesmachinery.com
