The Branford Cue And Brew

Place is fun and the food is decent. They could use some nicer help, but if you're looking for a place that's clean and relaxing for a chill night out. Def recommend.

Around 9:30 PM, my waitress came by for last call and offered to get my second drink so I could keep playing for free. A little after 10 PM, I noticed people starting to leave, so I inquired about the closing time. The young woman behind the counter informed me that they were closing early due to the slow night, which I completely understand. What I didn’t appreciate, though, was being charged for drinks (or a drink and a quarter, totaling $13) that I didn't even get to enjoy. I was told I could sit at the bar while they cleaned, but since I'm not a heavy drinker, I had only been sipping on my drink while playing pool. When I asked if I could get a discount or something, I was informed that the staff didn’t have the authority to do that. So, I ended up spending gas money from West Haven and $13, only to drink a little over half of two drinks. Normally, I love this place, but tonight was just terrible. I really hope this was just an off night for the staff because I genuinely don’t want to have to find another pool hall to frequent.

During our first visit to this restaurant, Dana, Al, and Chef Mike made us feel completely at home!

Waitress had a bad attitude, no pool etiquette what so ever, talking to you/walking up to you mid shot. As if it would kill her to wait a moment as you're shooting. They're charging high scale restaurant prices on drinks and food, don't know if i ever paid 18$ for a burger .. but never again. 7 dollars for a high noon is just disgusting. Id expect that from a 5 star restaurant not a pool hall. Nothing but Spanish music playing all night, lm Spanish myself but enough is enough,overall just not enjoyable. Wont be back. Now I remember why I havnt been here for years.

Tucked away behind Walmart is a true hidden gem of a pool hall. The staff is family-oriented, and even the food items are named after the owner's daughter, which adds a personal touch. You're always greeted with a warm hello, making it feel welcoming right from the start. There are plenty of pool tables to enjoy, and the beer selection is impressive. The bartenders are skilled at crafting delicious mixed drinks as well. The menu offers a variety of food options, but my personal favorite is the homemade meatballs—they're absolutely heavenly! This place is fantastic for hanging out with friends or just relaxing at the bar while chatting with the friendly staff.
