Our Story
The legacy of Buffalo Billiards began in 1953 In the the basement of the Pequop Casino in the tiny desert town of Wells, Nevada. Harry Simon opened his first of many pool halls. Later he bought Sequoia Billiards from Dorothy Wise, the greatest woman's player of her day, and sold it a few years later to Sax Dal Porto, a top player of his time. There were several other along the way. Lee, the son and the unwitting provider of free labor, was playing and working in all these pool rooms. In 1973, fresh out of the army, jobless and clueless, he returned to Harry's Novato Family Billiards in a part part time role and a full time San Francisco State student.
Harry got sick, Lee took over and has been at it ever since. There is no aspect of the billiard business that Lee hasn't experienced. Besides successful poo rooms, to selling 10,000 pool tables, god only knows how many pool cues, to his passion of antique pool table restoration. Buffalo Billiards has restored and sold many of the finest antique tables ever built. We also "build", plan and equip pool rooms of any size or style.
Currently located in Old Petaluma in an 1860's brick building, featuring décor and atmosphere to match a bygone era. both the pool room and the adjacent billiard supply store are at 246 Petaluma Blvd. North. Petaluma, CA 949592
