My wife and I went in about 1-2pm on a Wednesday or Thursday. I wasn't greeted due to bartender/ employee playing one pocket on the table next to counter. We stood there for about 2 minutes before I walked around front counter and seen 3 guys around a pool table. After looking me and my wife up and down, was asked if I needed something. I replied " We'd like a table, please". I was then ushered toward the wall west or the counter to a table that was right next to a table whom had two gentlemen playing one pocket. There were 2 tables being used including the one the employee was playing on. About 7 people in the whole room including my wife and I. I politely asked if we could have a table that allowed 1 pool table in between me and the other gentleman playing because I didn't want to be directly next to these guys when the whole pool room was empty with the exception of the two that were occupied. I was met with an abhorrent "Na man, y'all are fine right there, these other tables are for larger groups". My wife pleaded with me to just play on that table and to leave it alone. The two gentlemen playing next to this table weren't happy with the situation either. One of them approached the employee and after some words the employee, the employee walked over to us and asked us "Just how long do you think you'll be". At this point I haven't screwed my cues together. I was livid at the notion that our patronism was apparently an inconvenience to this place. I purposely ignored him, turned around, grabbed my things and me and the wife left. That was the 1st and last time I ever set foot in Red shoes billiards.
