If you're looking to play serious pool, there is only place to go: Cue & Cushion. Every table is well maintained, and all but a few are 9 footers. They have a 10 foot snooker table as well as a *heated* 10 foot 3-cusion table! The staff are very friendly and can answer any question you might have. The first time I walked in there I spent the better part of an hour just chatting with Chris, learning about cues. It's generally a nice quiet place, not overrun with a slew of loud and annoying teenagers like most of the other pool rooms in town. You'll hear some barking from the players but also some of THE BEST one-liners of your life from the old-school guys battling out games of one pocket (Mickey, usually). *IF* there is a negative to this place, it's that it's brightly lit everywhere. No dungeon lighting here. If you're used to the really dark pool rooms, this might take some getting used to, but I haven't found it to be all that distracting. The prices can NOT be beat; easily the cheapest place to play - which is shocking considering the rich history of this room. There is no bar, and no drinking (alcohol) or smoking allowed inside, so you don't have to worry about the drunks spilling beer or burning holes in the cloth. Plenty of beverages including: coffee, soda, juice and water are available as are a variety of snacks. In addition to all of that, they sell (and service) everything billiard related. Tables, cues, chalk, balls, training supplies, cases, videos, clothing and even darts! You will NOT be disappointed in your visit to C&C! -John Pirkey read more

Cue & Cushion is a landmark in the pool community and has been for decades. When I first moved back to St. Louis after college, I started to pick up pool as a new hobby and everyone that I met said the place to go for all of your equipment needs and incredible environment to learn the game, Cue & Cushion is your one stop shop. I soon started looking for a new Cue and they were the first stop. Got a great deal, that was 18 years ago. Have bought and traded several cues there and always a good deal. C & C has that nostalgic feel to it, yet still has all the modern things you are looking for, from the internet jukebox to the first 9' Diamond Smart table in the St. Louis area. They are also the only ones that offer 7', 9', heated 3-cushion, and snooker. Great rates and perfect place to play for anyone from the beginning player to even Mosconi Cup champions. That says a lot about the place when Mark Wilson, the current Captain of the Mosconi Cup team and the player that sank the winning 9-ball in the first Mosconi Cup to beat Team Europe has for years used C & C as his place of choice to give private lessons to the players in the St. Louis area. Highly recommend this legendary family owned pool hall for your next game of pool whether just for fun or for serious competition. read more

As a woman who also enjoys playing pool, I have to say that I have never felt safer at a pool hall than at Cue & Cushion. I've been a regular patron for over 20 years playing for fun on a weekend, or more seriously in their Monday night league. Many times I am alone, and frequently can be the only woman in the place for hours. I have never once felt uncomfortable, unsafe or threatened. The same can't be said for other pool halls and bars in the area. The owners do a fabulous job keeping the good customers happy and asking the troublemakers and bad customers to kindly not return. The only people that don't like this are the actual troublemakers. But it says a lot for a company to value their good customers so much that they aren't willing to indulge the bad elements for the sake of a few bucks. Cue and Cushion is run by a family with integrity. In this day and age, that is almost nonexistent. C&C is smoke free and doesn't serve alcohol, so a lot of the drama that comes with the "bar scene" doesn't happen there, which is another big plus. If you're looking to play serious pool, or seriously just want to chill out with friends and hit the balls around in a safe and fun environment, this is the place for you. read more
