Editorial Review for Blue Cue – by Holly Glasen
The Scene
This is not an old-fashioned pool hall. Eight purple pool tables stand in this large, high-ceilinged upstairs bar. Customers pay hourly fees to shoot a few games, munch on finger foods and sip one of 15 different kinds of vodka or 34 single-malt scotches.
The Draw
Pizza is on special from 5pm to 7pm for the after-work crowd. Expect to see plenty of suits early in the evening and casual yuppie attire later. The games are casual--no leagues play here. It's the right place to go if you're not exactly a gifted player, but want to do something besides sit on a bar stool all night. The cost of an hour of pool ranges in price depending on the day and time. There's also shuffleboard.

Honestly, that was one of the most awkward experiences I have ever put myself through. I came there with a good friend of mine looking to play some pool. Well, first off, they have 4 tables. Yep, 4 tables and they hail as a billiards joint. Okay fine, we decided to wait it out. So we go to the bar. The bartenders are the type of people that you just want to pop in the face. Please note, I am not a violent individual. The huge techno-video wall really complimented the quality country music piping out of this "posh" bar speakers. While bartenders fought with patrons and patrons pleaded to simply get their first cocktail I sat there in amazement. The vibe - STRAIGHT WEIRD! As I glanced around everyone was waiting for a table and looking just as uncomfortable as we were in doing so. The bottom line, someone spent a fair amount of money upgrading the appearance of this bar and simultaneously conjuring up an experience that induced acid reflux. Oh... and we left with half full drinks and not a game of pool played. Cheers.
Pros: They have pool tables.
Cons: I didn't get to play.

My husband and I had a great time at the Blue Que. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were very friendly. The mixed drinks have to be some of the worst I have ever had. The margarita's tasted like sour lemons, the midori sour was extremely sweet and the other drink tasted like cough syrup. This was a Thursday night so maybe it was just a bad night for the bartender but they certainly did not know how to mix drinks.
Pros: Good Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Good Parking
Cons: Terrible Mixed Drinks, Buy Bottled Beer
