“Nine Ball” starts up in old Wired/New Star/Eight Balls of Fire/Carrows space
Phuong Truong is now operating Nine Balls Sports Bar in the old Wired building at 11340 N.E. Halsey St. Having regained her liquor license, Truong will be operating the bar from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Sunday, with a 9 a.m. opening time on Sunday during football season. The place will be primarily a sports bar, but there will be karaoke on Wednesday through Saturday nights, plus pool tables. The menu will be “American, hamburgers and finger food,” Truong says.
Truong bought the place, then called “Eight Balls of Fire,” from Scott Detweiler in 2001, and renamed it New Star. In 2002 she sold it to Jeff Jones, who renamed it “Wired.” Truong regained the premises after Jones chose to pursue another career path.
