Welcome to the 'cue-tastic' world of Longbranch!
The Legacy of Longbranch
Longbranch is not just a name; it’s a legacy woven into the fabric of Lancaster, Ohio. Our story begins with the city, which has been steeped in history and community since its founding in 1800. As Lancaster grew, it became a beacon of industry and culture, a town where every building and street had a tale to tell.
In this historic setting, Longbranch emerged as a gathering spot for those who appreciate the finer points of billiards and the value of good company. Originally established as Gordon's Saloon in 1902, Longbranch has evolved while retaining its historical roots. Inspired by the town’s rich heritage, Longbranch was reimagined to be a modern-day rendezvous for enthusiasts and novices alike, where the clack of pool balls and the murmur of friendly conversation create a symphony of enjoyment.
Our walls are adorned with echoes of the past, paying homage to the pioneers who shaped Lancaster. Here, the spirit of Colonel Ebenezer Zane, who opened the gateway to Ohio’s first major road, lives on. The same pioneering spirit that led to the creation of the Lancaster Lateral Canal and the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, Ohio’s longest continuously operating newspaper, is reflected in our commitment to being a premier destination for pool lovers.
Longbranch is more than a pool hall; it celebrates Lancaster’s enduring legacy—where history and present-day pleasure meet. We invite you to be part of our continuing story, to make your mark in a place where every game is a tribute to the city we love.
