Horseshoe Bar and Billiards

The owner, Jerry Fredrickson, is a local billiards icon having been in the billiards business since 1985 when he retired as a Captain from the Duluth Fire Department.

After more than 20 years in the business Jerry has a long list of achievements in the billiards industry. He has owned a number of upscale parlors in the region and along the way he evolved into one of the leading experts of antique pool tables in the country.

Many of the tables Jerry has restored and sold all over the United States have fascinating historical significance. He once owned a table that belonged to Al Capone and sold it for more than $50,000. Another table that was played on by General Custer 2 weeks before the Battle of Little Bighorn was sold locally to a well known Duluth plastic surgeon.

Jerry has about 50 antique tables awaiting restoration at any given time. In addition, Horseshoe sells new tables, pool cues and billiard supplies as well as service work on tables and cues.

Jerry is also founder and President of the Twin Ports BCA Pool League, the largest in the nation with 200 players!
