Description

History

The building that houses Parkway Billiards, in the heart of downtown Chattanooga, was built in 1888 by an investment firm out of Cincinatti, Ohio. Over the years many businesses have occupied the space. In 1899 somewhere in the group of buildings was the world's first franchised Coca-Cola bottling plant.

The interior as we see it today was remodeled in the mid 1970s and was opened as "Timothy's Staircase". Since then it has been many different night clubs. The original "Alan Gold's" was in this same location, as was "Paty Place". Most recently before Parkway Billiards was opened, it was a pool room called "Shooter's", then a night club called "Two Jacks", and after that it was a gay bar called "Miss Kitty's".

The building had been sitting empty for about eight months when Robbie and Gaye Wade, both avid pool players, had the idea to reopen the facilities as a pool room. They started preparing the facilities for opening in February of 1992. After several months of hard work, planning, and picking the "Pickle Barrel Restaurant" owner Nick Bowers' brain, Parkway Billiards opened its doors on May 1st of 1992.
