blue 82

Blue82 is definitely NOT the place to go if you do not like expensive martinis, crowds and loud music and people on the weekends.  It's packed with the college and 'senior' college crowd of those who wish we never left.  During the week it is more chill and you can actually have a conversation and not have your eardrums blasted with bass.

The decor is pretty cool and when its not packed you can enjoy yourself and friends.  Drinks are a bit pricey but they are really good and not just your average screwdrivers and appletini's. They make some other unique flavor infusions too; just ask for something different, or let them make you a surprise drink catered around your 'likes.'

Small but trendy, and not just a sports bar.  Def date worthy place, although parking is street or paid lot around the corner.  Watch your step on the cobblestones outside when in heels

I like blue 82.

Pros-
It's comfy, they make decent drinks, and it's well put together. Likely the reason it seems many bars have turned over around it but it stays the same. The walls changing colors is a cool mood setter.

As noted by others it's an older crowd, I am "older" so that works for me.

Cons-
The bar can get very overwhelmed, and the table service can be anywhere from great to turribad.

Drinks aren't cheap outside of specials.

Skip the "food"

I removed my last review. The things I didn't like about it during that period of time have since changed.

The wait staff is more ample and helpful. The drinks have gotten much better. It's a nice place to go and spend some time, cocktails are quite good and seating is usually available.

They also seem to have a variety of things for everyone depending on what day of the week it is. I think Monday's they have the football game(s) on and video game tourny's. I went tonight(Thurs) and they had live music. I'm not big on acoustic guitar sing song shows, but the guy was friendly and everyone who was there seemed to be having a good time.

The place has been open for at least a few years now and in such a heavy turnover of a business that must mean something good.
