About - Our History - Our Future

Caps' Cue Club has been in operation over 34 years, since February 1979..


It's unbelievable how time flies... 30 years seems like a blink in the grand scheme of things...
We've seen really great times, and really bad times too.. (Like the financial, and job situations that many of us are going through right now.)
We lost our Mom (Mary) and our Dad (Sam). (We were so fortunate to have them for as long as we did)
We've seen so many of our good friends, family, and customers pass.. (Most recently Tony Rendino )
Many old timers, and so many just passing through.. All pages in the big book of life..
We've been though great times in the billiard parlor / restaurant business, and we've witnessed hard times too, in fact we are still struggling through tough times right now..
The reason I am telling you this is because we have some good news, and a glimmer of hope for the future because of some of our customers.
I say customers, but I should really say our "extended family", because most if not all of the people that come to Cap's Cue Club for more than a week or two, become part of that family.. That's not just an idle statement, that is the truth..
One day, out of the blue (as far as I know), two of our customers began to take it upon themselves to do some repair work on a wall that had some damage, and was in need of repair for quite a long time, but it wasn't a necessity, so it was put on hold. (Which included not just the repair, but also replacing some of the wall itself, and they paid for the materials)
From that point on more little repairs we're getting done, then we had some help getting new cloth for all 13 of our tables, and the more our friends/customers/family found out what people were doing, the more people started helping out in one way or another..
We now have new balls for all of our tables, new lights over all the tables, our ceiling was painted for a greatly reduced rate.. and so on...
As a way of thanking our friends who helped and or contributed anything, we had a party..
My Brother Dickie's band played, (REQUEST) my Sister Shari put out a Great buffet, and many people brought food, and drinks to share also..
Shari, and Dickie have dedicated the better parts of their lives to give people a "A Great Place to Eat, and Play Pool", and I, or we are just so thankful that they were, or are being recognized for that fact..
So on behalf of Dickie, Shari, and myself (Eric), I'd just like to say a big thank you once again to all concerned.
Thank you for taking the time to read this..

God Bless,
The Cappottos
