About HighPockets
Welcome to HighPockets, a Memphis institution since 1983. Our establishment was founded by James Stricklin, a local pool enthusiast who wanted to create a space for the community to gather, socialize, and enjoy the sport of pool. Over the years, we’ve hosted some of the best house pros in the business, including St. Louie Louie, Tony Fargo, Robb Saez, and Shane McMinn.
