A Cañon City couple has turned a stretch of Main Street into the area's new hub for competitive pool, opening a hall that pairs six full-sized tables with a full bar and an all-day breakfast menu. Dustin and Brittany Trevathan opened the Corner Pocket on Main, a pool hall, restaurant and bar, on Oct. 8 at 401 Main St., a space that previously housed World's End Brewing Company.
The couple celebrated a grand opening on Nov. 1, according to the Cañon City Daily Record. Getting there required painting, redecorating, reworking the kitchen and setting up a dedicated pool area, work the Trevathans undertook themselves before welcoming their first customers. The new business arrived with local government sign-off: the Cañon City council approved a new tavern license for the address on Oct. 5, with the motion passing 6-0, according to citizenportal.ai.
From Tournaments in Florence to a Hall of Their Own
The Trevathans moved to Cañon City in May 2020, and the idea for the Corner Pocket didn't arrive overnight. The couple began organizing pool tournaments in 2025, hosting them in both Florence and Cañon City, and the events became popular with Fremont County residents, per the same account. That response convinced them the area needed a dedicated pool hall.
“We fell in love with playing pool years ago,” Brittany Trevathan said, adding that “there are a lot of people who want to play here.” Dustin Trevathan said the Main Street location offered an opportunity in the heart of Cañon City to serve the area's large pool community.
Six Tables Now, Four More Planned
The hall currently has six full-sized pool tables, with the Trevathans planning to add four more. Four tables are reserved for tournament play, while two are set aside for everyday community use. Tournaments run at 7 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with games including eight-ball, nine-ball and saratoga.
Entry costs $10 per tournament, and fields can run as large as 30 players. The Corner Pocket participates in both the Ultimate Pool League and the Cañon City Pool League, and the business welcomes families: children are allowed to play pool with their parents, and players of any age can enter tournaments.
A Menu Inspired by a Closed Food Truck
Food is as central to the pitch as the felt. The Corner Pocket serves an all-day breakfast menu alongside comfort-food lunch items, with pancakes, waffles, burgers and sweet treats available any time of day. Brittany Trevathan said the restaurant's offerings were inspired by what the couple enjoyed at the Waffle Wagon, a food truck that closed in 2023.
The kitchen emphasizes ingredients that are never frozen, including chicken strips that are cut and hand-battered in house, along with handmade ranch and honey mustard. A full bar rounds out the menu alongside the food.
Hours and Contact
The Corner Pocket on Main is open from 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. The business can be reached at 719-285-8448. Applicants told the city council they had health-department approval and planned pool leagues and a full kitchen as part of their license application, according to citizenportal.ai's report on the council vote.
