Chattanooga Billiard Club’s downtown property on Cherry Street is set for sale after 44 years in business, according to a substitute trustee’s notice and the business’s own records. For downtown regulars, nearby workers, and nightlife visitors, the immediate effect is uncertainty over whether a long-running pool hall and bar will keep operating at one of the city center’s established entertainment addresses.

The business says its downtown location has operated since 1982. A sale notice published by Capital City Postings identifies a foreclosure-related auction process, while public Chattanooga records and the club’s website tie the business to its Cherry Street location in the city center.

Chattanooga Billiard Club is for sale after operating on Cherry Street in downtown Chattanooga since 1982.

What the sale notice says about the downtown property

The key public document is a substitute trustee’s notice of sale published by Capital City Postings. In Tennessee, that type of notice is used to announce a scheduled foreclosure sale under the terms of a deed of trust.

Hamilton County government explains the county’s property sale process in its public FAQs, including how sale notices and related records are handled. For readers trying to track what happens next, the county site is the official starting point for understanding how real property sales are recorded and processed.

  • The property is tied to Chattanooga Billiard Club’s downtown Cherry Street address.
  • The notice is a substitute trustee’s notice of sale, a formal public notice used in foreclosure proceedings.
  • The document signals a pending sale process, not a final public statement that the business has closed.

At the time of writing, the available public documents do not by themselves confirm what will happen to daily operations at the downtown club after any sale. That remains uncertain.

Why this matters for downtown Chattanooga readers

For residents and visitors who use downtown Chattanooga’s late-night venues, this is not just a property story. It concerns a long-standing business that has been part of the city center’s bar and recreation scene for decades.

If ownership of the property changes hands, outcomes could range from continued operation under new terms to redevelopment or closure. Business owners nearby may also watch closely, because established nightlife anchors can affect foot traffic on surrounding blocks.

Chattanooga Billiard Club’s website lists both its downtown location and its East Brainerd operation, indicating the company has more than one site. The sale notice concerns the downtown property, not the business’s entire regional presence.
