My friends and I always start the night here despite the sometimes crazy long line. Why? The not watered down, cheap drinks and the atmosphere. You also run into everyone you know, even on a Tuesday night. My favorite part is the oversized Jenga in the back. I highly recommend getting a Long Beach - a Long Island with cranberry juice.
Review Source:We started the night a lot here in college. I never order long islands anywhere else, but that's the only thing I've ever ordered here. They are HUGE, delicious, and $3 until 11pm. That is a DEAL. After one or two of these you really don't need any other drinks for the rest of the night, they are crazy strong. Really fun on game days. You will most likely run into people who lived in your dorm freshman year here...no matter how many years later it is.
Review Source:My friends searched for places to do things and decided upon here for billiards & drinks. Wasn't too hard to find although I might be worried about finding parking. We were lucky that a small parking area around the corner, someone was just leaving. They are metered parking spots but it says only metered til 10pm. It's not a huge place. It wasn't packed but still a good number of people inside(it was a Wed nite). Pool table rates are hourly, rounded by 15min intervals. Staff were friendly & helpful. Drinks were reasonably priced. If one is looking for some pool and/or drinks in or near the Tempe area, the Mill Cue is a good place to try.
Review Source:I love going here to play pool and having a couple of drinks. I have never had an issue and the drinks are really good. Whenever I want to go out and have a good time, I suggest Mill Cue Club. My fiance and I had our first date here and have been coming back every since.
I love going on Sundays because it is only $4.00/hr all day to play pool. It is usually not that busy either. If it is, I still have not had to wait too long for a table. The drink specials are really good too. I kind of have an obsession with one of the pictures on the wall too. Random I know but I always take the table that is next to that picture.
I do try to avoid it on Friday and Saturday nights though because it gets so packed that you can't move.
Alright place....nothing out of the ordinary....they have about 5+ pool tables in the back.. Decent music going on... Was pretty slow on a Monday night after St. Paddys day...but this was expected and we were only int town for Spring Training...
I did have their Habereno Shot...not the best tasting shot... But always interested I doing something out of the ordinary...
Talk about a burn!!!! Burned going down and for at least 5 minutes....almost like taking a shot of Tabasco but without the salty vinegar taste
Whenever I'm out on Mill with a group of friends and the decision to go to Cue Club is made for me, you will always hear a loud groan coming from my direction.
First off, you have to wait in line for a while to get into a not-so-special bar... OK. The staff in generally not very friendly, and the whole set up of the place is not accommodating to a bar that gets jam packed. Prepare to have your drink spilled on you 1-3 times. It is basically a super long hallway with floors made of glue.
Oh, and then there are 40 odd-ball burnouts playing pool and making it impossible to maneuver at midnight on a Saturday night. Do they really need the pool tables going when they have a 30 minute wait? Can't they just play pool at a dive bar like normal weirdos? Maybe I'm just upset since I got the back of a pool stick to the rib on my way to the bathroom.
Alright, I'm being too harsh on  this place. It's generally a fun environment and the drink specials and prices are pretty good. Just in need of some changes.
If you're coming to Mill for Friday or Saturday night, Cue Club is a great place to start. The drinks are pretty cheap and the atmosphere is great. It is pretty crowded when you first get in but as you get further back, it's easier to have a conversation and enjoy a drink. Several different types of beer, bottle and tap, including some crafts.
I like Cue Club because it has kind of that divey, pool hall feel, but it's right on the  main drag of Mill. The crowd is definitely 21-29 and mostly ASU seniors or grads.  Expect to wait a few minutes in line before getting in (unless you fit a criteria to skip the line altogether or pay the door gal to get right in).
I have been to cue club probably 20+ times but never before 6pm. I highly recommend stopping by here during some part of your night.
Mill Cue Club is a terrific place to start bar hopping because of its very cheap drink prices! For instance, a Long Island Iced Tea here wasn't watered down at all. In fact, it was potent and worth the money! In addition, AMF was potent for a cheap price! I love the fact that both of these drinks were gigantic in size compared to the expensive ones back in L.A. for smaller doses.
As always, this place is heavily packed with college students from ASU especially on a Saturday night! Be prepared for long lines getting drinks and going to the restroom. Lots of pool tables are around to make this place a fun and divey atmosphere.
Overall, we all enjoyed Mill Cue Club!
Ah, Cue Club. Â I have to agree it's a little over-rated, but it has some positives to it too. Â I do like the pool tables... there are several, so even if there's a wait, there's pretty good turnover. Â Honestly, I'd probably never come if it weren't for the allure of pool. Â
The Long Island iced teas are good and cheap. Â The Electric Lemonade, or AMF, or whatever they're calling it this week, are good too... the same thing as a Long Island but with added Blue Curacao. Â
Lines can get long, and I don't think it's worth waiting for if that's the case. Â It can get really crowded too, be that a good thing or a bad thing for you. Â
I prefer to come earlier, when I can play some pool without fighting over the tables or the space, enjoy a drink with my friends, and hear each other talk. Â For a crazy late-night, I'd go somewhere else.
Mill Cue Club is a fun place to go on a weekend night with good drinks although it is a bit packed at times and tough to navigate through at times. I do not care for the long lines either but the place gets busy which is a good thing. Tables are 8 footers mainly for fun players and not serious pool playing, makes for good drunk pool though. I have had plenty of fun in this place and won a couple bucks and drinks playing there. I recommend it and the ladies there are pretty attractive too. I am taking off one star because the bathrooms are usually nasty.
Review Source:So you think you had a great long island??? Â Well try them here. Â They are cheap and not drowned out. Â This is a perfect place to pre game for a night out, although not a place to go if your trying to have a conversation with your buddies. Â The music is loud that make it hard to hear your friends. Â It could be worth staying if you come early enough to get a pool table, but if you come to late then you end up waiting at times more then an hour to play pool.
Review Source:Cue Club isn't what it is all hyped up to be. I have no clue why it's as popular as it is... No one even plays pool in the back. It's completely over crowded and super annoying if you are going out with a large group of people. Other than that... Their drinks are  good for a decent price. Long islands are pretty toxic as well as electric lemonade, but if you are dragged their by your friends then I always tell people to get the liquid marijuana Its offered as a shot, but it's better as a drink.
Review Source:To Cue or not to Cue? That is the question. Cue is either a place you love or hate depending on the day and the time.
If you come to Cue on a week day then it's a normal bar and is a great way to pass time, but if you're coming on a weeknight then that's something different! Weeknights can get so crowded that you can barely move around and you will get bumped into nonstop all night. But besides that you can meet some funny people, some obnoxious people, or some funny obnoxious people.If coming on a weeknight, come before 11 because the line gets ridiculous and being inside becomes a boxing match.
Cue has good drink specials no matter what time but it is a bar for a younger crowd, so if you're looking for something upscale you are in the wrong place. I like going to Cue if not simply just to people watch and have a good time when they have a good DJ. The music can definitely be a hit or miss which can ruin my night of debauchery  if half of the songs playing is by Sublime.
To Cue or not to Cue? It's up to you!
I have spent dozens of memorable (althought I can't remember them) nights at Cue. Somehow we always end Mill adventures at Cue, shaking our bodies to the music and trying not to hit the million other people in the bar. If you are a single female, this is a mans bar and you are in luck! (This is a college bar though, so I can't guarantee the quality of the men!)
I would have gladly given Cue 5 starts, however the past two visits have (although very fun) rubbed me wrong.
Cue, If I wanted to go to Scottsdale and pay for a bathroom attendant,l I would. HOWEVER, I am coming to a hole-in-the-wall bar so I can drink cheap and not have to worry about girls doing their make up in the bathroom. Maybe it is a woman thing, but once I brake the seal, I am in the bathroom every 30 minutes. I don't want to spend a extra $12 on tipping someone to sit and hand me towels. MAJOR TURNOFF.
The last two times I have been in, I have been DD. When I asked for a water to sip on the cocktail waitress looked at me like I was crazy. She said she knew a list of "skinny drinks" if I was watching my calories. Um, no. When she finally brought my my water, it was in a HUGE red solo cup with WATER written on the side. Way to make a DD stand out in the bar.
Where do I even begin? I've probably patronized Cue Club more than any other establishment in Arizona. It has everything you would expect in a popular college bar.
Domestic beers are cheap, mixed drinks are strong, personal space is non-existent, intimate conservation is impossible.
I have to give Cue Club at least 4 stars, because many fun nights out have started or ended here. I understand why it might not appeal to the average Yelper, though.
Their Long Island Iced Teas are legendary! $3.50 until 11pm.
Not bad, I can see why this place is a hot spot for the college kids over from ASU. But being in town on vacation all of our friends being ASU Alumni decided to take us out here our first night in town.
The setup for this place is really weird. Thin and narrow in the front but as you walk towards the back it magically gets wider and spacious (or maybe I was just too out of it). Either way, the night we went the Long Island's were poured in really tall glasses, made really strong, and came out to a whopping $3 each.
I'm not big on pool but I'm always a fan of cheap drinks, mix that in with the college crowd, and a little bit of top 40 complete with music video accompaniment and we've got a fun spot out in the desert :)
My only complaint would have to be the restrooms are really small (1 stall and 1 urinal) and when there are tons of drunk guys in the place that doesn't mix well, also the smoking patio was really tiny and cramped, not a fun place to be.
It seems like everytime I come here I see someone I know who I never see anymore. A good sign that this place is a popular watering hole on Mill.
I'll say my only negative at the beginning here: I'm not a huge fan of the long narrow space. When crowded it is extremely difficult to weave through the bar height tables to get to the restrooms.
That being said, I'd recommend this as a stop on your bar golf experience down mill. The drinks are pretty average, with good decor and flat screens on the walls. I see this place as more of a late night destination than a pool hall on weekend nights. The outdoor patio is tiny, which is fine with me as I don't smoke.
Overall, I haven't had a negative experience here yet, mainly why I'm giving it 4 stars as its a nice place to come with friends.
I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend how or why this place consistently has one of the longest lines to get in damn near every weekend. It's a pool hall, and an average one at best...where's the attraction?!? It's usually cramped and uncomfortable, drinks were average, and the music sucked.
Review Source:I've never really been disappointed with Mill Cue Club. You get exactly what you see. Â A college area pool hall, loud but fun environment. Lively bar with pool table entertainment in the back and awesome drink specials and happy hour!
$2.75 for drafts $2.50 for pints of Kiltlifter and Dos Equis  and my fave $3 tall Long Island drinks during happy hour... Seriously.. for $20 you can get pretty tipsy and take care of your bartender and everyone has a smile.
This was the first bar I went to on Mill Ave. A sort of ritual for my circle of friends.
Tonight it was sort of packed, nothing too crazy, but I'm sure in two weeks it would be out of control packed.
I got a long island and an AMF, both of which were almost pure alcohol, they did the job to say the least.
It was a nice atmosphere, I'm not sure if I would come here on the weekends when class is in session, but definitely a cool places.
I went  here with my girlfriend on the Thursday before Memorial Day, during a time when ASU wasn't in session.  Cue Club was one of the places on Mill Ave that wasn't completely dead, but at the same time it wasn't overly crowded, either.
My girlfriend and I had a seat at the bar and received attentive service from the bartenders. Â We enjoyed watching the cheesy videos and whatnot on the TV screens behind the bar. I had a "Four Peaks" beer (something I had never tried before), which was quite delicious. Â I was very surprised when I was charged only $2.50. Â I don't know if it was on special or if that's how much they normally charge.
In any event, on Friday and Saturday we scoped out Mill Avenue again, and Cue Club seemed to be packed to the gills, so we went elsewhere. Â If I were still in college (or still in law school), then this would likely be the type of bar I would go to on Saturday nights. Â However, at my ripe old age, I will pass on Cue Club on the busy nights. Â Nonetheless, when I move to Tempe this fall, I anticipate coming back here again on off nights to enjoy a cold beer and the lack of pretense that only a dive bar can offer. Â I couldn't imagine going on a Saturday night unless I wanted to feel young again (which happens every so often), or unless one of my "fratty" friends visits me from out of town and wants to get a feel for the ASU party scene.
$3 Long Island Iced Teas. Do I need to say more? Yes? Okay, fine...
I don't think there is anything wrong with this place if you are into getting drunk for cheap, playing pool, watching sports and hanging with the bro-ha's... which evidently by my 3-star rating I am not, or on this night I was not, interested in.
The drinks were really good. I ended up putting back at least 1.5 Long Islands. It would have been more if my friend Rose wasn't alternating sips with me. Hopefully she doesn't have mono ha ha
The bathrooms were clean and let me know about the myriad of "ladies nights" they have, but unfortunately both the women's and the men's bathrooms are in plain view of the bartender and other patrons, so I was unable to sneak in one of them and give Dallas the business. Maybe that is why I was so disgruntled?
The only reason we came here was because we were in a large group and some of the members thought it would be fun. In a group setting, sure. But I wouldn't hit this bar up alone. Not that I go to bars alone. Usually. At least no more than once a week, anyway.
I want to hate on this place because ASU is covered in docuhe-nip, but that isn't the Cue Club's Fault and for business sakes, they are making a killing.
The place has really nice tables, good cues, which is a commodity in the pool scene, and a pretty good bar/tap.
During "on" nights, the table renting fee can be  pretty steep, but it attracts so many coed drones that they may as well charge a lot cause mommy and daddy are footing the bill. Â
If I could rate the place separately from the crowd I would give it 5 stars, because it is one of the best kept pool halls I've been too... Â The problem is mix the -10 star crowd rating and 3 stars is generous.
Come here on a weekend night if you are looking for a 3 hour wait for a pool table, the lowest iq to head count ratio known to god, an undeserved fist fight, and an std. Â This place is gonorrheal.
This place gets packed on Fridays and Saturday, and the tables right in between the bar and the tables against the wall do not help.
That being said, come here and get a Long Island Iced Tea. Call me a creature of habit.. but I would always start my nights on Mill here before heading elsewhere. The bartenders have made thousands of these and they're pretty good at it by now!
This place is the worst.
I went around ten on Saturday night and it was packed. Â It seems the place is intended to cater to rapey, Nickelback-loving, popped-collar misogynists and the women who love them. Â
There is no place to sit, no place to talk (because it is LOUD) and zero ambience. Â To its credit, though, I was served quickly (because there were like 3000 bartenders) and it wasn't that expensive, but it would take much, much more than that for me to ever return to rape-central again.
I went here on a friday night, and the place gradually got more and more busy. By the time we left at midnight, it was really packed. The pool table area was pretty crowded, but there was enough space to play.
The only complaint I have about Cue Club, was that the cocktail waitress only came by maybe once an hour. We went searching for her pretty often. When it was time to leave and close out our checks, it took close to a half hour to find her and get it settled. Kind of annoying.
The drinks were good, and pretty cheap. The music was loud enough to dance, and I liked the projection screens playing the music videos.
Although my college days are long gone, I like Mill Avenue and end up here from time to time. Â This is probably my least favorite bar on Mill. Â It feels like a huge frat house basement. Â On weekend nights it's so crowded that just making it from the door to the pool room or vice versa without getting spilled on, stepped on, or completely separated from your group feels like a major accomplishment. Â
If you do have to come here, check out the crazy loud but amazingly powerful hand dryers in the bathroom. Â Also some people rave about their cheap and toxic Long Islands.
Between 3 and 4 stars, depending on when you go...
Previous reviews are dead-on for weekend nights, this place fills up with douchebags - that's why we're usually long gone by then, before the college crowd and the bathroom attendants show up, and the prices go up.
Me and my work buddies have been known to head over Fridays after work for a few hours. This is the time to go. Tables are cheap, and there are plenty to choose from. Service is fast, and the drinks are cheap and strong.
Eric P 2000 = Whoa! Â This place is BANGIN**
Eric P 2008 = Um, okay let's get a beer and go
The Least Common Multiple = people grow up and stop going to college bars rife with knuckleheads, schmucks, tricks, and flakes who make you feel old for having shoes without scuffs on them. Â
If you are -21, have at it. Â If you've developed some advanced moxie, I'd skip it for other bars on Mill.
** or whatever early 2000s term I used back then
Crowded. Lots of Sun Devil hotties roaming around. Plenty of pool tables. Good drink specials. I don't care to try and objectively rate it compared to other pool halls because I'm sentimentally attached to this place, from my days as an ASU student. It's Mill Avenue on a Friday night during college surrounded by friends and beer. How could you possibly have a bad time?
If you're at ASU, you will come here, you will have a good time, and the memories will be worth 5 stars.
Another average MIll Ave Frat bar. -2(standard -2 right off the bat)
I went once for a friend's birthday on a Friday. Packed is the word. It's a pretty big place, long. They were already on a table when I got there. I didn't pay for anything the whole time I was there so I can't comment on prices. I was drinking Sierra Nevada and it was tasty as usual. It was def the co-ed crowd, but what do you expect. Lot's of Frat boys in plaid shorts and too many popped collars. Lot's of girls in yummy, way, too short skirts, I was kinda surprised actually at the number of girls, ha.+1
The Cue Club is my favorite spot on Mill.
There are a cluster of pool tables and big screen TV's in the back and music bumps throughout the bar. The crowd is laid back and the drink specials are superb.
On top of that, you can order food from Bison Wiches and the Cue Club staff will run over and bring your food back to you. That is what I call going the extra mile.
If you're looking for a casual hangout on Mill Avenue, Cue Club fits the bill pretty nicely.
I've never been when it was overly packed, but they still always have a good crowd most nights.
They have quite a few pool tables in the back and a huge selection of liquor and beer.
Of all the bars on Mill, this is the one that I least hate going to. Â I just am not a fan of Tempe anymore, but if I do have to go somewhere, Cue Club is it.
