Good morning my name is Keith once known and respected in most billiard circles as a player and enthusiast not to mention a pretty fair table mechanic for thirty years; I was known as the Legend and some called me the general after 6 years of not playing the big boxes I decided to try my hand once more at the great game of pool after two weeks of playing at about 35 dollars a day I discovered that the tables were deplorable. They are not level the balls veering off at the pockets and only have about two thirds of the speed, the front facing cushions are terrible causing the ball to careen off the corners the rails and all of the tables are not very responsive and very inconsistent yes they have been recovered and look decent but looks can be deceiving can and this case they most certainly are.
I was hesitant about going to cue and cushion because it has always been controlled by a seedy element who prey upon anybody who chances in to play a game of pool these dregs of society just can't take no for an answer you can't even practice without constantly being badgered, gambling runs rampant and the no gambling signs are just for the police who just ignore the illegal practice so much for the blue brotherhood. The atmosphere has always been very hostile for the average player dating back to the original owner Bob who basically was parasitical in nature preying upon people that were having hard times buying their jewelry at a very reduced rate of value, and the apple has not fallen far from the tree for the son of the now deceased owner who more than likely received his just reward does the same so go ahead folks c'mon down and you will find to your dismay that it is the last place in St Louis that you want to play pool.
Considering if you love the game of billiards as I do Cue and cushion is the sole survivor of the billiard parlors in St Louis, pool is gone my friends except for this cesspool of immorality that sells cheap inferior tables to an unknowing public in my opinion it gets a half a star and that rating only because they have the larger tables even in their deplorable condition. I do not recommend going there unless you enjoy playing on a bad table which should be a lesson in futility.
Sincerely the Legend

If you need new cloth or moving a pool table call these guys.

Its a great place to hang out at with plenty of polite people there. With the new internet, dart boards, and plenty pool tables its a great place for a family night out or even hanging with friends. Almost my favorite place to be at night.

Cue & Cushion is absolutely the best billiards hall in St. Louis....No other place comes close to the true feel of a pool hall, or the quality of service and equipment. The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and they make you feel at home. I will continue being a patron for as long as the doors stay open and as long as I can still hold a cue.

Family friendly. No alcohol. Smoke Free. Great place for a first date. Largest selection of Custom Cues in the Midwest. Great selection of darts too. 17 table pool hall with heated three cushion table and mostly 9 foot tables. Voted best place to play pool by RFT.
