Robertson Billiards & Spas has been family-owned and operated in Tampa since 1930. Started out across from the University of Tampa as a pool that operated for almost 20 years. In the 50s the world-famous (now closed) Bakers billiards opened in Tampa Heights. Bakers opened with full indoor Air Conditioning. Baker's air-conditioned pool hall put the original Robertson’s Billiards out of business. T.E. Robertson; had a young family at the time, but couldn't hold back his passion for pool. Around the time this Tampa’s first Ford dealership was growing rapidly, their original building was across the street from Bakers and came up for sale.
