House Cue

By Matthew Sherman, About.com

Definition: A cue stick provided free of charge by a pool hall. Frequently, a better class of cue is available for a small fee.
Examples:
At Julian’s in New York, youth who ran to a second rack of Straight Pool were honored by having their house cue reserved for their use only.
