The Pink Neon is Back

River City Billiards is now open again. It's filled with pool tables and dart boards, as well as having the largest stage for bands in Fort Wayne, and soon with a kitchen again. It will be operating for the moment with a 2-way liquor license, and will be a work in progress...

It was in February of 2000 that River City Billiards closed. I suppose the wildly popular River City Beach Club may have still existed in name at that time as well. The Beach Club never recovered from an incident in the 90's where a police chase ended in a death for a chased driver who ran into a pole near the entrance of River City. The place was swarming with cop cars and rumours that someone had died at the bar, and business never returned to the same level after that...
