Official Announcement: Re-Opening of Gemini in Lake Oswego, Oregon​

 

We are thrilled to announce the re-opening of The Gemini Club, an upscale, dive bar now owned by the renowned Jacqueline "The Angel" Karol. Located in the heart of Lake Oswego, Gemini promises to be a dynamic hub for pool enthusiasts and community members, offering an engaging atmosphere for seasoned players and newcomers alike.​

 

Jackie, a world-class certified instructor, brings a wealth of experience from her management of bars, poolrooms, and poker clubs. She has authored an instructional book and produced a comprehensive video series to help players enhance their skills. As a dedicated Rotarian and public speaker, Jackie is passionate about community service and seeks to unite people through the sport of billiards.​

 

Gemini will feature a lively atmosphere with exciting offerings, including live music and poker nights, enhancing the social experience for all guests. You can also enjoy a cigar in the outdoor back area while savoring the vibrant surroundings. Whether you’re there for live entertainment, poker, or to join a pool league, there will be something for everyone.​

 

The building’s exterior has been freshly painted in blue and gold, chosen for their significant meanings. Blue symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, and resilience—qualities embodied by Jackie and often reflected in the American flag. This shade also highlights her tremendous respect for veterans and first responders, acknowledging their commitment and sacrifice. Gold represents success, achievement, and the warmth of community, aligning with Jackie’s mission to support local players and create a collaborative environment. Together, these colors foster a spirit of connection and camaraderie among individuals from diverse backgrounds.​

 

Jackie's journey in pool began at age three, guided by her father, solidifying her lifelong passion.

After earning a Biology degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder, she won numerous accolades at various levels, including the BCA 8-Ball Championship and recognition on the International Pool Tour.​

 

As the new owner of Gemini, Jackie is excited to cultivate a space that not only celebrates billiards but also encourages community engagement. The bar will host weekly leagues, tournaments, and training sessions, fostering skill development and meaningful social interaction. 

 

We invite you to join us for the grand reopening of Gemini—where the joy of pool, the thrill of poker, and the energy of live music come together. Don’t forget to spread the word that applications for employment are currently being accepted on our website, www.TheGeminiClub.com!​
