Classic Cue

I never had a problem with this place before the new management.  Every time we've visited, it's had the same vibe.  Friendly people behind the bar, a nice local feel and we'd just get drinks and play pool or darts.  Yesterday was the first time in a year we visited and we were able to bring the kiddies.  It wasn't too busy at 5 on a Saturday evening so I didn't feel weird about letting them sit on the chairs and watching us play pool.  I had the fish tacos.  The fish is just frozen fish you can get from the supermarket but I've made fish tacos like that before so this isn't a complaint.  I didn't like the slaw that came with the tacos (wet and sour).  They should just use chopped up red cabbage and carrots and cilantro as the slaw.  The siracha aioli was delicious but will be considered spicy to most.  The wings were juicy, the tater tots were yummy but the mozzarella sticks tasted like the oil they fried things in.  All in all a nice local joint.

Hey, Classic Cue! You're under new ownership! And you're awesome now! How come it took me so long to notice?

Anyway, if you've read my last review, you'll notice that I had a *less than stellar* time here. I probably wouldn't have come back if an old friend I hadn't seen in a while hadn't asked to meet up here. I'm glad he did. The whole place just seems... brighter. Dude behind the bar was all smiling and friendly, the building as a whole seems cleaner, the cues are usable, and the prices are still friendly.

Oh, and that most grievious of sins has been rectified: The beer was delicious.

Well done new owner, well done. I'm happy to be able to come back and support a local business on the regular :)

While in Lake Tahoe, we decided to check out the local pool halls.  After a quick search, and good reviews,we came to Classic Cue.
We were pleasantly surprised.  Greeted by a big happy smile, hi Valerie, and great service.  Valerie was very attentive and the burgers are absolutely incredible.  Lot of pool halls in Sacramento, but Classic Cue will be worth the drive when needing a different venue.  Pool table are in great shape and balanced.
Great food, great service, and very nice tables.
