Corner Pocket


There is a certain feeling of pure happiness I get when I stand at a pool table. Lining up and planning every shot, making sure each angle is perfect. To be honest, I don't think there is any place I would rather rack up than the tables of Cue and Cushion.

Located in Overland at 2425 Woodson Road, Cue and Cushion offers seventeen pool tables including a 5 x 10 snooker table and three-cushion tables. On top of that, Cue and Cushion also sells pool tables and all of your other billiard needs. I for one, purchased my beloved cue from them and it has not let me down a bit.

The selling points for me, however, were the price and hours. General price is only $3.60 an hour, but they have student rates, military discounts, early bird specials and even special discounts for Facebook and Myspace friends. Sunday through Thursday, Cue and Cushion is open from 10:00 am until 1:00 am. On Friday and Saturday they stay open until 3:00 am!

There are also snacks and vending available along with a few arcade games and a well stocked Jukebox. The only possible thing I can think of that would turn people away is the fact that smoking is still allowed inside. I, personally, have no problem with that because I like the smokey air while I play, it feels very appropriate, but some people cannot stand cigarette smoke.

The establishment is family owned and every time I walk in I always feel welcome and right at home. If you find yourself with an empty evening or a stressful day, make your way to Cue and Cushion and see why I have quite a lot of hours there and become a faithful patron like myself.
