In this episode of Savor the Ozarks, Joy Robertson chats with Richard and Katie Vance, the couple behind Billiards Sports Bar & Grill in Downtown Springfield. After years of owning McAlister’s franchises, they took over Billiards post-COVID, transforming it from a traditional pool hall into a modern, family-friendly sports bar. With 18 pool tables, 41 TVs, an expanded menu, and a 100-person event space, they’ve kept the bar’s legacy alive while adding fresh new touches. Tune in to hear their journey, how they’re serving up great food and entertainment, and why Billiards is a go-to spot for everyone from business professionals to college students!
