This place was perfect when I went. It was a mixed crowd with a jukebox with plenty of choices. Can also buy beer..had a great time, even though I suck at pool. read more

I play pool here every Tuesday and I love it! The guy behind the counter may seem very serious, but strike up a conversation, he is as nice as can be. I hear there are tournaments there for serious pool players. I have yet to see one but I can't wait. This will be my new place for pool ALL THE TIME!!! read more

The beer and service is quite good. However, whoever keeps playing 1970's Filipino Ballad tunes needs to knock it off. If I wanted to make love to a middle aged Asian woman I'm all set, but I want to drink beer and play pool. Also, they explicitly forbid taking house owned pool sticks into the bathroom. Wtf? Why would I take a pool stick into the bathroom with me? read more

I've been here twice now, one Sunday night we stayed until close and the other time we went Sunday during the day. The tables are nice. The night we went people were playing great music on the jukebox the whole time. The day we went we played $10 worth of songs and after that it was silent the rest of the time. That was a buzz kill. The food is pretty terrible deep fried from a bag frozen nonsense. The $10 per person from 12pm-6pm is pretty awesome. read more

Very good and friendly staff made the experience enjoyable. Overall experience was very chill and relaxing. Very reasonable prices as well as. Me and my friends will definitely be coming back. read more

This is a decent place to hang out and shoot some pool. There's usually a table open, but at peak hours you might have to wait a bit. It dies down a bit as you get later into the evening. There's mainly gold crowns here, which personally aren't my favorite, but they play pretty well. There are some diamond barboxes as well, but I'd rather play on the 8' tables. There are a couple places where chairs are placed awkwardly, so if you don't claim the chairs near your table you'll be asking people to move all night. I haven't tried the bar/food, so I can't comment on that. read more

Finally, made it out here with the recommendation of a friend and he was right. This place had beautiful Brunswick tables that were well maintained and plenty to choose from - approximately 25 tables. They typically have great rates varying from $4-10/hour depending on day of the week and number of players. On Saturday, we dropped in around 10:00pm and they happened to have a yelp promotion and we got a 25% discount off of our total bill! Even better. So we only ended up paying $8.25 per hour for 3 to play on a SATURDAY! A few things to note: No bar but they DO serve beer. Small menu of food. Juke box which we didn't try. Good lighting and good space all around to play. Good choice of music which didn't seem too distracting or loud. Seems like a safe neighborhood. Although there were cop cars all around. No age restriction either. ( I was able to bring my 19 year old sister here. ) BEST pool hall we've been to in SD! Better check before we go next time in case there's a tournament. going on. Definitely will be returning soon! read more

I thought it would be to bring hubby in for his birthday with a few of his friends. We reserved a couple of table and were allowed an open tab for the night. Everyone had a blast! I doubt I was able to sink a single ball but I had delicious food and ice cold beer so it was all well worth it! Great Place, Great People! read more

I use to come here almost every week. They place is usually busy with just a couple tables available. The cost isn't that high, compared to Dave & Busters which is double the price. Cool place to chill and knock out a few games. I would have gave it a 4 star but there's a different place I like to go to now. Jolt'n Joe's read more

This place is awesome and laid back. Good place for pool players of all levels. Not too loud or rowdy. Good place to take your kids.

Great place. Friendly staff. Sometimes on a Friday someone's gonna pop off or drink too much and cause a fight. Nothing too scary though. Good table rates. Cheap beer. Cheap apps - nothing fancy. Just fried stuff. Who cares. I like the tables. They are much newer and nicer than say, the Hungry Stick. Their tables are 45 years old! OnCue is in much better shape. Tables will get occupied on a friday or saturday by 10pm. Monday night is tournament night. Any other time during the day or week you are guaranteed a table. check it out. read more

Tha management is cool. The owner gave me free pass fr 1 hour. The ambience is really cool. Good bar and affordable price

Wow so I go here all the time and we come late and at 1:59 am they say there closed while the girl working has 3 other people still playing a pool game and she wouldn't even let us finish our game! They are still playing after locking the doors how rude! read more

Kisawana is the greatest bartender ever. Diana is pretty cool as well. They have pool and beer what more can a man desired? They do have food, soda, and great people. read more

I've been here so many times but never wrote a review, go figure. It's a good place for billiards with friends & family.

I really like the set up here. The food are good portion, I always order the chicken sampler. There are a lot of 9 feet tables here. Place is clean and staff is friendly. I would recommend other pool player to come here. read more

I don't have vast amounts of pool hall experience and from the outside this place looks pretty sketchy, so I was slightly apprehensive about going here with my friend. But I was pleasantly surprised there was nothing creepy about it and the juke box even had Taylor Swift which I found amusing. Tuesday's and Thursday's are 50% off student night (I'm pretty sure) so that was a great deal. The only downside was the first few pool cues we tried using were super worn down but other than that I had a lot of fun. read more

I love this place and have been going there since I moved to San Diego. The tables are nice and I love the people there. Everyone is nice and chill, definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to shoot some pool. read more

Great place to play billiards and have some drinks while playing.. employees are friendly

What a gem! My girlfriend and I stopped in last night for some food and a beer, I was surprised when we walked in! Looks like an old timey pool hall with a lot of space in between tables and it was clean! Food was good and wait staff were on top of it and super friendly! We were given a free hour of pool at our next visit! This is a great place to hook up on a date, with friends, or just by yourself! I'll be going back time and again! read more

Great Pool Hall and comfortable environment. This is the only place my wife and I like to go to in San Diego. Staff is very friendly and always helpful. read more

Nice pool hall with a good atmosphere. Tables are decent. Prices are reasonable. Small selection of food. Appetizer type stuff. They have a jukebox and some TV's. Lot of tables, rarely are all the tables packed, usually on Fri and Sat nights. read more

This place is great and offers the ultimate pool experience. Also offers student discounts on select nights! Always a great time here at On Cue Billiards!! read more

This place has everything you'll ever need to have fun while playing pool. With plenty of pool tables, large size. When you first walk in on your right there's a bar and a nice area to relax. They even have a juke box for music. The tables are nice and smooth! The employees keep everything clean, are very friendly and energetic people. I tell my friends about this place all the time and love it when I bring them in for a game of Pool! read more

great place to play pool. there are always people in there but its never too crowded to find a table.

this place is dope. they have a lot of tables! most of the felt on the tables are in excellent condition. cant say too much about the food since ive never eaten there. the rates are 8 bucks an hour which is cool. if your lookin for a nice quiet time to shoot around this is the place to go...unless its a friday or saturday night. thats when all the lil kids go out and make things a lil roudy there. read more

This is the ONLY real poolroom in San Diego. All Gold Crowns with Simonis. 4 tight tables with 4 inch pockets. They have a billiard table and a 6 by 12 snooker table. If you are novice pool players looking for a relaxed fun place to play a few games at a reasonable price, have a few beers, and listen to the jukebox this is a great spot for you and your friends. Unlike some other rooms "On Cue" is a place without attitude, everyone that likes to play pool is welcome. If you are serious about the game and want to play on the only legitimate equipment in town please support this room. read more

This is the best place to play pool in San Diego. The girls that work there (Danielle and Kiwi) are really friendly and helpful. The tables play very good and they have a fantastic tournament on Monday nights. read more

Nice place. Good tables, decent house cues, reasonable drink prices. Really good pool hall.

This is a really good local establishment. The ladies are always super friendly and efficient. Overall pretty clean place nice tables and friendly people. would definitely recommend them. read more

On Cue is an awesome place if you are a dedicated pol player. There is plenty of good competition and they are not there to hustle you...although I bet they would be willing to if you let them. A great first impression is the snooker table when you walk in. The place has the feel of the old poolroom I grew up in. The place is very clean the lighting is fantastic. People are friendly and willing to chat. You can find a player your speed and they most likely wil;l play a friendly game. There are some highly skilled players so if you don't mind loosing until you figure it out, you will improve your game. The Monday night tournament is fun to weatch and people come from as far as Orange County to play, it is that well,known. I have played in all the local pool halls and none of them can hold a candle to it even Jolt'n Joes. read more

At first I was a little skeptical about the quality of pool being played at On Cue. However, I was sadly mistaken. The tables are good quality, probably better than 95% of all the San Diego pool halls. The level of play at On Cue is astounding, various professionals play at On Cue and I was quite surprised to see a few of them. Ga Young Kim was one who I ran into and boy was it a pleasure, but the real treat was playing a couple games of 9-ball with the young Joseph R, he has just been dominating the UK/Canadian pool scene and he's only 18 or 19, that's what has vexed me about On Cue. I am also eager to try out their Monday night tournaments. All in all, this place is full of surprises, cheap rates with quality tables, friendly management, and quality players, nothing better than that folks. read more

Best place to shoot pool Period. Owner, Clyde & staff are very friendly. http://www.sandiegopooltournaments.com

My go-to place was Society in PB for their prices and food, but their tables were crap. I've always noticed On Cue Billiards every time I'm in the La Mesa area, but I've never been until about 2 years ago, and now I find myself in here almost every weekend practicing and playing with friends and family. Haven't been to Society since then and I would never go back. I just wish On Cue had a better beer selection, but I always get Sierra Nevada as my beer of choice every time I go there. I could understand their food selection is limited considering they don't have a real kitchen, so that doesn't bother me. Their location is great, right next door to a billiards shop where my brother got his cue tip repaired and there conveniently located in a quiet area. The staff here are chill and always checks on us if we need a refill on beer. There are a lot of locals that go here almost every day of the week, and they have league nights and tournaments, but I've noticed they don't bother the non-locals, and the non-locals don't bother the locals. In my opinion, the BEST pool hall in San Diego! read more

Let me start by saying LOVE this place to play. The tables are amazing and there is so much room to where i dont feel cramped. ive ordered food a few times and its alright nothing special there are these new cinnamon pretzels that are great tho whos ever idea that was props to them because i can see them generating tons of profit. the music they play is from a jukebox so u can basically pick and choose i wish they would turn it up tho. they have such a variety!!!! ive seen the owner there a few times he seems to know how to run a business properly. the bathrooms are well kept for the most part and the specials they have are pretty cool. the girls that work there are fun, i think i have met all of them ony having 4 girls there makes it pretty easy to get to know who is serving u. i dont recall the blonde girls name but she seemed to be very rude not only to me but to the other girl that was working with her. i was very surprised. she seemed to be ver flustered and preoccupied with whats going on in her life and not the costumers. i do recommend this place for dates, tournaments or just to have fun read more
