It is a wonderful establishment. The incident involving the owners grandfather was something that was definitely out of the ordinary. There has never been another incident like that, save for the occassionally overintoxicated patron who is kindly asked to leave(which was also the instigating incident to the unfortunate death). They now have a dart league, and are building an APA pool league. Fridays and Saturdays are Karaoke nights. It's always jumping, with good music, fun singing and dancing. Sundays and Tuesdays have pool specials...$5 all you can play! The rest of the week has random beer specials and fun activities. Mondays are the planned nights for the pool league, and Tuesdays will be the dart leagues night. You should come down. I wouldn't call it a "dive". More like a lowkey neighborhood pub, not too fancy, just right for someone looking for a nice afternoon of drinking and playing pool. Best way I can explain it...is....Cheers. Pretty much everyone knows everyone's name, and we like it that way! You should come be a part of our family!

We are still wondering if there is an actual guy named Bubble, or where the heck that name came from. Pks is usually packed on Friday nights. after it was the abc and before it was PK’s, it was actually another billiards place (named in the article I think) called Bubbles.

According to http://pksplace.net/, it used to be an ABC store. It probably closed down when they opened the new one a couple of blocks south on Roxboro. I think I actually remember seeing an ABC sign out front at one point when I first moved to the area. Good eye! According to http://pksplace.net/, it used to be an ABC store.
