One of my favorite places to enjoy an adult beverage (or two), engage in friendly banter, or chill and watch sports on TV. Staff have always been friendly, attentive, and eager to assist. Come on Thursday, as Kelly, the bartendar, will provide you with witty banter, speciality shots and drinks, and a can of PBR in a variety of serving containers. If you are feeling sassy, ask for a can of PBR in a cup with two cherries and a lime. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more

Been here twice for some pool and a few drinks. First off, prices are great. Last time we went, had a group of 12 of us, we had 2 tables for around 4 hours and was only about $100 for pool. Drinks aren't fancy but are reasonably priced and do the job. Variety of beers on tap and a stocked bar. Bartenders and all the other workers are friendly and quick to serve you and pick up empty glasses. They only have some chips and nuts to buy but they do let you bring in food, which is a great option. read more

First time being there this past weekend-- staff was friendly, greeted us as soon as we walked through the doors! Diverse group of good-vibes and ages, singing karaoke and shooting pool! Will definitely be back again with my friends from out of town when we are back in the area! read more

Decent place for pool, however I suggest you keep your receipts. They change tip amounts without authorization and gave themselves a 34% tip that my credit card company gave me notice of. If I ever go back I'll be sure to bring cash. read more

Favorite place to shoot pool. 8 big tables, 2 quarter tables. Cheap drinks, friendly workers.

Ahh we love this place!! Absolutely amazing!! We come here for date night, or for a group hang out. The pay by the hour pool tables are awesome!! Service is great!! Love the bartenders!! Come here if your looking for good drink, beers on tap and some games of pool. Or free darts that's fun too!! read more

I've been looking for a local spot that offers shuffle board and I've finally found it! The specific location of the board isn't the best. It's sandwiched between two restrooms and the back parking lot door. However, I came here during a 4-6pm timeframe mid-week and was pleasantly surprised by how large the space is. They have a decent selection of beers on tap, including my summer favorite of High or Hell Watermelon from 21st Amendment. As long as I'm there during a less busy time like this, then I will continue to visit for a cold one and some shuffle board. read more

Great place shoot some pool with friends! Bartenders and staff are super nice. Great place to chill.

The staff are so friendly, just started visiting this place and always get treated like an old friend. The drinks are reasonably priced and well proportioned, super yummy too! It's nice and clean inside, no drama or riff raff ( on my visits so far) lots of tables so you don't really need to wait and the jukebox is always playing great music loud enough to have a good time. I recommend read more

Cue & Brew - Sports Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

I don't know, I'm not from California and maybe it's every where... But when I saw Sierra Nevada IPA on tap...I knew this bar was good. The staff are friendly. Stiff drinks. Plenty of pool tables. Rented by the hour. They have darts and shuffle board. All the typical bar Olympian activities. Cool stuff on the walls. The people are friendly. Good vibes. Good music from the juke box. This is a good spot. read more

I am not one to write reviews, but lately I feel i have to. I'm a local, been playing pool at this establishment for twenty years. I'm an avid pool player. When I first came onto this place, i thought I had come onto a halfway decent pool hall. It started out that way, and I was content to play and practice. Fast forward to current times and I feel that it's slowly taking a turn for the worst. Mostly from the staff, security guards etc, etc. I've spent my share of hard earned money at this place over the years. But it seems that regulars and pool league players are not valued as what they used to be. Shame I sure like playing pool here too. So that is the reason for my 2 star review. I would hope that if read by management, they would go over their customer relations and treat people with kindness and respect. It's amazing how a business can flurish by doing so. read more

I love coming to Cue & Brew for the great environment. Everyone there is super friendly and treat you like family. Definitely recommend this place. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Cue & Brew - Sports Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

My husband & I came here last Fri evening. Both my husband & I got a Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing, on tap $7ea. We decided to go ahead and play shuffleboard, since it's free. Unfortunately one end of the table sits right outside the women's bathroom, so we kept having to move out of the way of the door, which was rather annoying. The other end of the table is right next to the door that leads outside to the smoking area. They leave the door open so smoke was coming inside. They have 10 pool tables, which are $8 per hour during the day, and $15 per hour at night, which I thought was rather pricey. They also have 2 dart boards which are also free. read more

best service! love all the bar tenders. great place to hang out and shoot some darts! they don't have food but food is close by

Very spacious good string drinks I believe it's family owned. There are several pool tables. The bartenders here are very good and nice. When I was here there was a fantasy draft taking place read more

Friendly staff , chill environment, great place to grab a drink and play pool. I definitely recommend.

I am digging the ambiance and the breadth of drink choices! I would recommend it as a fun evening with friends

The name is exactly what you get. Plenty of pool tables to go around, and the fellow patrons were friendly enough. I'm not big on bars, but I stopped by because some friends were in town to celebrate two of them getting married. We came here for a bit of an "afterparty," so to speak. My one knock is one of the employees asked for my ID in a real douchey way. He didn't have to bump into me and shout at me to show him an ID. All the other people in my group were asked politely to show theirs. I can't speak to their beer selection, because I had enough to drink beforehand, so I decided to stick with water. read more

Good vibes, lots of tables, darts, great bartenders (that will look out for you! Much appreciated as a single woman just looking to get out for a drink). My go to for a quick drink. Always a good vibe. I love how different the music is each time. read more

Very chill place to grab a drink, play pool or throw darts. Good mix of people/customers. Nice staff. Lots of TVs to catch a game. Prices of the drinks are fair and no problem bringing in food from the neighboring restaurants or snacks from Walmart. Our go to bar in the area. read more

Why did I think this place was Pool and Coffee? Never realized it was a bar. Came here on a Friday night with friends and had a blast. Got some drinks, played shuffleboard and darts, all surprisingly were free. The staff there were attentive and saw we were interested in playing each game and brought all the stuff to us. Lots of TVs, pool tables, tables and chairs. Could see myself coming here to watch games and hangout. I had so much fun and can't wait to come back. As a comparison, this place reminds me of a smaller, more local version of Masses. read more

Lisa, the owner, and her son were great. Chill vibes, eclectic music. Will definitely come back

Great place for a get together. They don't serve food. But allow u go bring in whatever u order from outside. Staff were very helpful and great services all around! read more

Dive bar.. super fun.,strong drinks. Lots of pool tables and super friendly Martinez crowd.. if you live her you most definitely see someone you know.. don't forget to tip your bartender. read more

The young lady who answers the phone is so sweet and kind! She sets the tone of a welcoming atmosphere.

I am not a fan of sports bar atmosphere. I went here for a friends birthday and I was having a bad dry spell where I wasn't drinking because my body just needed time to heal. So I was able to enjoy the place sober. Its an average bar with the very original sports bar themes paraphernalia all over. The bar tender was great and she looked as if she could kick everyones ass in the place. It was surprisingly crowded for what I thought a bar in a strip mall would be. Its all right. read more

Cue & Brew - Sports Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

I have decided that someday I will go to karaoke every night for one week. But not this week. Next week doesn't look good either. As part of my research for my week-o-karaoke, I wanted to find a Sunday night karaoke spot. Luckily, I had my fabulous fiance, Jac C, and great friend, Jackie V, to help with the mission. I started with yelp and although a few places had reviews touting Sunday night karaoke, no Sunday night karaoke was to be found. I googled karaoke and found a list of most Bay Area karaoke locations, including days and times. Cue & Brew was on that list. After a quick call, karaoke for Sunday night was confirmed. I had only been to Cue & Brew one other time. I'm not sporty so I never have a strong urge to play pool but went with friends a couple years ago so they could play. They have a ton of pool tables and seems like a fun place for those that like that sort of thing. Sunday night karaoke was fun here. The place is really big and it took some maneuvering to get from where we were seated to the "stage". The KJ was very nice and welcoming and the sound is good. There were also a lot of really great singers but it wasn't crowded and we were able to sing a few songs before it got late. The only thing I didn't care for is that new singers are put in the middle of the rotation. I prefer a consistent rotation with the new people being added at the end. (I'm a planner.) Country is definitely the genre of choice here. When I return for my week-o-karaoke I think I'll be singing some Tammy Wynette. read more

I'm at odds. Do I give a 2 star rating or a 3 star rating? Every time I come here, I ask myself why the hell is it so crowded? I suppose it's so because it's the only bar in the area. With all that said, they have shuffleboard and a lot of pool tables. I like the spacing they're far apart enough so you can be comfortable without competing for space to shoot pool. There's not much diversity, and I guarantee you I was the only Asian in the place as well, but unlike the WC bars, I wasn't overlooked with service or anything like that. In fact, I got prompt service. However, it took my friend Daniel who was hispanic 15 minutes to close out his tab. Man does it get crowded. Also, they don't accept passport or military ids. They did, however, take my EXPIRED drivers license. OOOOOK. There's a mix of a bunch of ages and there's no dress code. From girls wearing Vegas-appropriate wear to people wearing jeans and a T, I think anything and everything is acceptable. Watch out for creepy old men that ask you what your sign is and tries to hold your hand. BTW 5 dollar cover. That changed my 3 star to 2 star. C'mon. This is martinez. read more

I went here for the first time with a couple of my friends and we got some beers that were pretty good. They have a good beer selection and everything but when I ordered a couple cocktails, there were flies in the drinks and the bartender refused to remake it. Thought it could be a cool spot but unfortunately they severely lack cleanliness read more

This bar is nice most of the times. However I invited new friends from out of town in recently and the weekend male bartender is Soo rude!! He was disrespectful to me and my sister and cousin. Totally disorderly mess. We will never go back again. read more

Me and 7 other coworkers went here on a Friday night was having a good time, we brought in wing stop which is right next door since they don't have food which is dumb, my coworkers pulled out a water bottle and security came over and ask her to throw it away so we was all confused then the so called manger came over yelling and giving us hella attitude over a bottle of water after we spent like 300$ there and had no issue with greasy chicken wing and fries smh so unprofessional and will never becoming here again and I'm going to let everyone know not to come here and just some food for thought if your mad you make 9$ a hr find another job!!!!!!!!! read more

This place is the absolute WORST! Staff is terrible and rude (honestly all of them... security and staff behind the bar). Its shocking they have customers at all. Drinks are way too overpriced and not mixed well. Even the tap tasted off...like, hasn't been cleaned in some time, off... I am surprised they aren't shut down yet. There are other places to play pool and have a drink! Please do yourself a favor and save your time and money by going elsewhere. You'll be glad you did! read more

Great local spot where the blue collar boys hangout! Ladies take note.... the ratio of men to women is like 10 to 1! Great service from both bartenders on a Monday night. Lots of televisions to watch the games and clean pool tables ready to rack! I meet some friends and couldn't see it at first because it looks like there wouldn't be such a place in this strip of businesses, but I found it. Highly recommend to check it out especially if you're a single lady into the hard working guy! read more

Kool place that's Kinda Local ... Clean , Friendly Staff .... 2nd Long Island Better than the 1st ! , But yeah I'd Recommend this this anytime ... They are Even Customer Conscious of excessive drinkerdrivers .... or Shall I Say Thinking or Trying to go Drive Nope Not Gonna Happen So Play some Pool , have a Snack , Throw so Darts , Do some Shuffle Board , or Try some indoor Golf ( In Your Mind ) and Enjoy !!! read more

Friendly regulars and staff. Good selection of draft beers. Nice atmosphere to watch a game or shoot pool. They do offer food, but they encourage you to bring in your own and there are several offerings within 500 feet. Con: No apparent wi-fi or pitchers of beer. NOTE - They DO accept credit/debit cards contrary to what you might see in a Google search/look of their profile. read more

Bartender was rude to me because I had a service dog puppy in training and she jumped up to greet him, and then he told me to shut up and this mutt was not a service dog even after showing her card he's a whiny dog hater. Go to Vinnies in concord , way better service and dogs are loved read more

Place sucks. Expensive beer have to rent pool by the hour bartender is a snob. Go somewhere else .

Really Nice Place!! Came here Saturday night. Mixed crowd, nice looking friendly peeps with the digital jukebox so all different types of music was playing.. I came here with my family for a couple of hours and I enjoyed myself. Nicholas, the bartender is a nice charm behind the bar. He knows how to mix. Reasonably priced too!! read more

This place has gone to sh*t. We arrive at 1:05 am thinking, "Cool, we have time for one round." We get our ID's checked at the door and the bouncer wouldn't let my friend in with a passport....seriously? Now, realizing that a passport isn't a valid ABC I.D., she opted to drive back to SF - but myself and my 2 other girlfriends hung around for one more pint. Just ironic that she's been using that passport at every nightclub and bar from Walnut Creek to San Francisco - but the ever-so-lavish Cue and Brew wouldn't accept it. Regardless, 1:05am, ID's checked...walk up and order a pint. About 5 minutes later - they call last call. What?? Whatever - we only wanted one beer anyway. But then 5 minutes after that, an a$$hole of a bouncer walked around and ordered everyone to slam their drinks. WTF. We didn't order a beer just so we could slam it within 5 minutes...you shouldn't have let us in the bar if you were planning on closing down inside 10 minutes. The bouncer was a total d*ck, barking orders at everyone like we were inmates and mealtime was up - hey a$$clown...did you forget we were customers? So with near-full pints in hand, about 1/4 of the way finished - we went back to the bartender and got a refund. The bartender was happy to oblige - so there's the one star. read more

I've had good and bad experiences here, but the bottom line is a good cleaning and better customer service, quality control, and bartender attitudes could go a long way to make this place 3-4 stars. The Good: -Plenty of pool tables, couple dart boards, and shuffleboard. -Jukebox -Drinks are normally made strong and fairly priced. -Most patrons tend to be nice. -Some bartenders are cool. -Allows outside food to be brought in. -Plenty of parking due to location. -Wide age range of patrons. The Bad: -Limited seating -Some male bartenders are rude/jerks, and have poor customer service. -Even though the drinks are made strong you often wonder "WTF is that nasty taste?". -The smell of the entrance and bar area. -Sticky or gross carpet, floors or table/counter surfaces. -Bathrooms are nasty and beat up. -Some rude drunk locals/friends of the staff that feel like they own the place. read more
