Have you ever visited a pool hall with really good house cues?

I lived in Evansville IN for a few years, and would go to this weekly bar tournament. There was a pretty good player who played with the same house cue every week, he said. He loved that cue. Some drunk idiot drove his car into the bar late one night, and that building was condemned, by the city. Seen that same guy at a different tournament, and he was so sad that he lost the use of that house cue. He wanted to get ahold of the owner, to somehow get it, lol. No idea if he was ever able to though. The guy played really good with it too. Must have been a really good house cue.
I was playing in the APA city 1st round in my only APA session in 2000 at Lanhucks and someone drove into the building. Since it was during my match I couldn't even go outside to see what happened but I remembered seeing kids earlier playing on the sidewalk which were lucky not to get killed!

The Fox and Hound had 2 piece cues that were glued together, I think they had league there and someone noticed the shafts were identical to their Mali shaft and got one unscrewed! My hometown bar in Fort Branch would always have a few nice wood cues and then got some cuetech type one pieces that were solid cues and lasted for over a decade. I only brought my cue in on free pool nights, anywhere else I've played the house cues were unusable!
