An old school pool hall that is the most affordable and fun time you will ever have. The time to play is cheap. Affordable in a time where everything other outside activity in town is super expensive. The cliental ranges from seasoned pool players young and old to beginners to the game like me. A relaxed atmosphere where you can have a beer. A decent selection of beers on tap with music playing throughout. Friendly staff and a spacious pool hall having over thirty pool tables. Have gone there twice with my wife and grandson. We are just learning but the time playing was great. A good place to learn the game as well as enjoy a nice beer. If you're a seasoned player or a beginner like me. I would definitely recommend coming here to play. The best time without breaking the bank. Play here. read more

Nice pool tables and they had a lot of them. It wasn't expensive. The place is open late and we actually brought kids in to play too.

They have control over the jukebox and skipped multiple song requests from everyone I was with, but still took our money. Eventually they turned the machine off. Beer is incredibly cheap though which is nice. read more

Lots of tables, always an awesome friendly staff, and very affordable jukebox. The food is great too!

Great place to chill have a beer or two and play some pool. Staff is friendly. Prices are good and they have a senior discount.

Great pool tables with nice felt the smaller diamond tables are fast with really cushy rails and the snooker table is one of the few in the area. read more

I love this place.. a lot of good pool tables.. love the food as well, and they have discount too for the military active/retired. Such a nice place to play. read more

Great ambiance! My husband and I went for a date night and we had a good time. The wait was a little long so I recommend making reservations before you go. read more

ZERO stars. Ignorant staff and unbelievably rude manager. I called to ask prices and learn more about the venue but was rudely hung up on. I called back to speak to a manager who was even more rude and couldn't give straightforward answers about the venue and pricing, "$4 to $ 5 per hour", I asked what makes the price difference, and was completely ignored and told to go to a different pool hall. I highly discourage anyone new to go here. AVOID this place and save your money and value as a human being, unless you want to be yelled at and hung up on by children for asking valid questions about pricing. read more

Great food with amazing live music at times. The service is incredible and all the staff are so nice.

So as part of my birthday celebration I wanted to challenge my husband to a game of pool. We both have not played in many, many years but I felt confident that I would be the winner of the games. Based on our passed challenges I have beaten him on the tennis courts, bowling alley and at the poker table. We found "On Cue Billiards" on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The hostess- cashier "Kiwi" was so friendly and helpful. It cost $9.00 an hour to play. They of course supply everything you need. The setting was very low key with dim lighting and it was very clean. Apparently you can reserve tables (several tables had a reserve sign) and they have tournaments on occasion. The pool sticks they supply and the pool tables were in very good shape. To make your visit more enjoyable they serve beer and wine. My husband and I played 4 games of pool he won one and I won three. Two of which I won because he hit the 8 ball in at the wrong time (oops sorry) winning any way I can as long as I win. With a Yelp Check-In you get 25% off. read more

Great prices. Great atmosphere and sound system. Everyone is super respectful and not to price gouging on drinks.

Sydney is the best ever! #Sydneyforpresident. Great drink prices. Tables are pretty cheap to rent.

A group of us came here to play billiards one rainy day and had a great ole time. Lots of pool tables. Highly recommend.

Absolutely worst service in the world. Worst bartenders. Worst service. Do yourself a favor don't go!!

Came here tonight with my hubby and we had so much fun! Looks like not much from the outside, but never judge a book by it's cover. Beer is 4.25 and they even have a couple of craft brews on draught (which i was not expecting). Pool is $12 an hour for 2 people, so it was a nice, fun, cheap date night for both of us. Also the jukebox was playing surprisingly good music, and the bathrooms were sparkling clean! The service was super friendly. We will definitely become regulars at this place! Glad we are one street away from home. Hidden gem for sure! read more

Way cheaper than parkway! Cheap drinks, cheap pool by the hour! Very nice would recommend

Great place to play! Well maintained tables, wallet-friendly prices, cheap beer. There's also some bar food available which is nice. TV at the bar is usually playing sports. They have a digital jukebox. I frequent this place quite often and haven't had a bad time yet! read more

Recently came to play some billiards here and it did not disappoint. Beer is $4.25,there are plenty of tables to chose from ,and the atmosphere was great! We enjoyed their chips and salsa and the beers they have on tap. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have some fun. Restrooms were very clean and the staff was not only very friendly but also willing to answer any questions. I rate it a 10-10 ! read more

Amazing prices and high quality tables. It's seriously so cheap to play here. Beers are cheap too.

Came here with a Groupon. I had some Groupon bucks and used a coupon so it was free for me but the Groupon deal is around $10-15 for an hour of pool for 4 plus 4 beers and 2 baskets of fries. The place was nice, not too busy. They have white claw! The fries were bar fries as expected but not bad. Would recommend and probably would return if I'm in the area, especially with another deal. read more

This place has gotten popular over the past 10 years and more so because their isn't much competition for pool halls. I traveled 18 miles to play and the tables were worth the trip. The house cues are in bad shape. They need better equipment. My other issue is that it is too hot and humid. The place has terrible ventilation. Not good for shooting pool. Biggest complaint and reason for two stars is that they require an ID to play. Fair enough... but just like I knew would happen I left and they didn't return my ID. Got all the way home and realized it. If you are gonna make it policy to take an ID, then you gotta return it after I've paid and tipped...period. No excuse. Train the workers that this is important. It's good I caught it before I left town on my flight. read more

Before dinner, we decided to play some pool. There were 3 of us and we got a table, and some drinks (one beer, one soda). Total for an hour of pool and drinks was right around $20.00. Lots of tables, lots of sticks, friendly staff and prices are fair. Two things that annoyed me though.... 1. The jukebox. Jukeboxes are good and bad. Good in the sense that if you want to pony up some cash, you can hear YOUR music all night long. Bad in the sense that if you get two 20 year old girls that load $5.00 into it, you will hear nothing but hipster country songs for quite a while. If I had heard one more Florida/Georgia Line type song, I would have stabbed them with my pool que. Anyways......... 2. One TV. Yup...huge ass billiards room, one TV above the bar. And even then, it's like a 40 inch TV. Come on now...the basketball game was on, and I needed to bust out my binoculars to check the damn score (we weren't even that far away, either!). We had a decent time. I hadn't shot pool in quite some time, so it was fun to get back on a table and play for a bit. Will I be back? Yeah, probably...if a pool craving ever came about. read more

In a shrinking pool-hall scene in San Diego, On-Cue stands alone as one of the best, professional, well-maintained-pool-halls. With the addition of the 7" Diamond tables the place now has offerings for every age group and playing skill. League players mingle with pro players, families, youngsters on a date and die-hard regulars that occupy the tables from the moment the place opens in the morning and typically throughout the entire day. The tables are well-kept, vacuumed often and wiped down daily and the felt is in good shape for the amount of use (and abuse) it takes on a daily basis. On-Cue also offers high-level tournaments that draw tens of players from around the county and beyond. These tournaments are currently the best place to see and play high-level pool in San Diego. The food offerings are typical "Let's see what Sysco is offering on sale this week" affair, which is to say "bar affair". And not the "good kind" of bar affair. This is understandable because the place has no professional kitchen so food offerings are limited to what can be made behind the counter. Un upgrade to the food is needed to assure patrons stay longer and choose to eat in rather than leave for food. Highlights include: Attentive owner. Great playing tables. Good upkeep and maintenance. A pool player's place. Things to consider: Adding a few more 7" tables Food upgrades read more

This place is super fun! I've always lived nearby and just recently went in for the first time. The ladies working were very kind and courteous to offer new drinks while we played pool. They kept things clean and distanced people from one another by keeping empty tables in between players. I used the jukebox to play the music I like and others did the same. It was a nice time and I'll definitely be back! read more

Love this place! Whether you are just beginning or can break and run, this is a great place to shoot some pool. They have some beer and wine options and a decent size menu to pick from incase you build an appetite while playing. They have I think 3 7' several 9' tables and a snooker table to play on. They have tournaments and even pool league if you like to compete. Overall, its a great place to play pool. read more

On Cue Billiards - Pool Halls Near Me - La Mesa, California

There is no better pool hall in San Diego, period. Awesome owner, the best staff, (Danielle will make sure you're treated right) and the equipment is well maintained (A bunch of Gold Crowns with Simonis cloth and Aramith balls). A selected number of tight pocket tables will make you humble if you're an avid pool junkie, but if you're just having a good time, plenty of standard tables. Pros swing around here on a few tournaments a year. Good selection of drinks and food make it for an excellent time with friends!!! read more

Came for the first time and I think it's a great place for casual players and competitive players. Tables are great condition and they also have diamond bar tables. I think I saw that they have some tables with Simonis cloth! There are a lot of tables too and prices are reasonable whether playing alone or with a group. Didnt try the food though. Don't be put off by how it looks outside. Anyway I definitely recommend this place! read more

Honestly worst costumer service sum emo bitch was giving me attitude we payed but never got our food. We just left and never got our money back. Don't recommend going here. read more

Was so happy to find this place!! So many tables, and great drinks on tap will be back here for sure!!

Great place to practice and hang for a few hours, good service and easy atmosphere!!!

Great time! Wonderful place for pool and entertainment for the whole family. The competition is heavy and the eats and drinks are great too! read more

Good prices, friendly staff, & grest environment. When ever I get a change to visit this place I do. Thanks for the continuously and consistently enjoyable experience! read more

The best place to go when u want to chill for the night and have fun with your friends and family

Went here this past weekend for the first time to shoot some pool. Kinda a hole in the wall type of place but with lots of tables. It's a place for everyone but kinda got a weird vibe from some of the older regular guys at the bar that creepily stare at you the entire time. 5 guys sitting at the bar turned around and watched me play pool for 2 hours straight. Could deter younger women from attending. Overall it was a good time, Paid $12/hr for the table and $16 for 5 beers in a good deal. read more

Been playing pool here for 35 years or so, great place friendly atmosphere, good tables good food although the management has changed many times still my favorite place to go read more

I have gone to this billiards place for my friends birthday the last two years and it's always a fun time. They have great food that is also reasonably priced, a great selection of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, and a pretty neat jukebox (whatever the modern equivalent would be haha). Staff is always friendly and they have great hours of operation for those nights out with friends. read more

So you wanna play some pool? Big room full of pool tables? Check. Beer on Tap? (Sierra Nevada, Fat Tie and the usual suspects) Check. Friendly staff? Check. This spot is all ages (before 10?), clean, and welcoming. We went here late at night with some friends and had fun. Returned during the day with the kids and had fun. So, yeah, pool, beer, fun. They got it. read more
