Lemme guess.... this isn't a pool hall at all, but some sort of temporary art exhibit.
Is there even room for more than one pool table in there?
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. |

Wow. temp art exhibit and film set were both guessed and both correct. For those of you who are familiar with the area and have nextflix, Rumblefish is available streaming. You should check it out. Benny's is there, with tom waits behind the bar. Think of Nick Cage standing outsidebor lawrence fishburn walking in if you go see the show. I saw this as they were doing the penciling in the windows. This already has had a huge response on facebook and I'm very very excited about it.

Drove by today and there is construction going on inside. Was it ever confirmed that it was an art exhibit of some sort? Any more recent plans?

I think (i may be way off) that it was supposed to be Valhalla. Or something like that. They took out the stamped metal ceiling. Bummer. |

We are proud to announce that 13 E. Brady will be the new home of the Valkyrie Bar, operated by local entrepreneurs with years of operations experience. This promises to be a great addition to the entertainment offerings in the Brady Arts & Entertainment District. They should be opening in the next few months, and all indications (based on renderings) is that it is going to be awesome inside.
Unfortunately due to residential/retail code requirements, we were forced to remove the existing metal ceiling in favor of a code compliant fire rated separation of space.
As for previous inquiries about Benny's Billiards...it was an homage to Rumblefish by Francis Ford Coppola, scenes of which were filmed in that location and the adjacent alley. Was a great use of the space and helped us highlight its availability. All made possible by the folks at Git Wit Creative which is right next door at 11 E. Brady.
Stay tuned for other great additions coming to the Brady Arts & Entertainment District soon!

That Benny's Billiards spot at 13 E. Brady will indeed be a bar called Valkyrie, and will hopefully be opening in May (more on this as things progress.)
Copy pasta from the facebook page that is (like the bar) still under construction:
We at Valkyrie proudly serve all of our fine beverages in the most closely appropriate cups available.
Cocktails? We got 'em. Fancy ones. Regular ones. Tall ones. Short ones. Fat ones. Skinny ones. (Mostly fancy ones.)
You want some beer? We got those too. All draft. All strong. We've got fourteen different taps; each dedicated to its own style. The brands of each style change with the wind. (Changing with the wind would probably be only a coincidence, though they do change regularly.)
We also have wine. Good wines. Served in cups.
And snacks. For dippin'.

It's hard to tout wine without sounding snooty. It won't be Fetzer or some junk. We'll carry what we feel we can serve with pride that won't break our bank, so we won't break yours. "Cups" is a funny word. Cups... |
