So much for seedy pool halls. Blue Cue’s decidedly upscale vibe makes it tops with Sac Mag readers. Housed in a historical brick building and remodeled to include a rooftop patio, the bar now boasts four pool tables for your playing pleasure. Your best bet for scoring a pool cue without a wait is to come at happy hour. If you can’t get one in your hands right away, you can spend the time sharing some hot wings and blue cheese dip. Tuesday is $1 taco night, and soon to come this season are Fizzy Fridays, when bottomless Champagne will be poured for the ladies until midnight.
