Far West Billiards closing after 10 years

The manager of Far West Billiards, a downtown Spokane food-and-pool hangout, said the business is closing after 10 years in operation. Yvonne Millspaugh said she decided to shut down in anticipation of major remodeling that building landlord Rob Brewster is ready to start. The billiards business, at 1001 W. First Ave., has been owned by Andrew Sackville-West and other LLC partners. Sackville-West has moved to Portland and is allowing Brewster to take over the space, Millspaugh said. Brewster said Far West has been late on rent payments in recent months. He added he’ll announce his plan for what will go into the Far West space in several weeks. “It will not include billiards,” he said.
