HOLY MAKEOVER! So I guess this place has new ownership or management or something awesome, but I walked in and didn't even recognize it! They took down whatever was behind the bar and also expanded the space between the front and back bar by the restrooms; taking down the awning like doorway that was in front of the mens bathroom. Great idea, because trying to get to the back bar before was such an issue where as now its open and easy to walk from bar to bar. Â
Also, the MUSIC!! Holy wow. Â I have met two of their newer DJs one was DJ Mr West and the other Flo-zilla. Â I mean, they both know how to get the party started and their range of music is amazing! I felt like I was listening to music I knew and then there would be a track I had never heard before but still was awesome and then back to my favorite jams. Â Awesome!
Also I have to say I am a fan of the back bar on the weekends and they have a bartender Ozzy back there. Â I dont know how he does it! It is so packed on Friday and Saturday nights but somehow he whips up everyone's drinks and keeps everyone happy. Â He has great service and most importantly speed when it comes to bartending. Â
Lastly, I have been going to this place for YEARS! I have seen my fair share of fights in this bar which is pretty typical for a four am bar, it just happens. Â However, and this is big, but I have not seen one fight or even disgruntled argument in the past three months. Â I dont know if there is new security with the new ownership or something but this makes me feel safer and want to go there more often
All around this place has gotten a hug face lift and I am not only happy to go there but happy to bring friends there. Â From the bartenders to the music to the fun atmosphere this place is changing and definitely for the better!!
Love this place!
Bluelight is an awesome little lounge open till 4 a.m. every day! Cozy, cool vibe, lots of comfortable lounging area, great drinks and really good music. The place is under new ownership so I can only see it getting better. Â Mixed crowds so I don't see anyone feeling out of place. Â Totally recommend everyone to check it out!
For some reason Yelp won't allow me to reply to your message so I'll write it on an "update": Â
Jesse,
I must say that taking on a bar like the Blue Light is going to be one of the toughest projects you've ever encountered. Â I hope you're up to the task. Â The bar needs a COMPLETE overhaul in staff, clientele, security, and environment. Â There's a saying, "The fish starts rotting at the head". Â I hope that you, being at the head, won't allow your fish to rot. Â In my opinion all of your problems would be solved by just tearing the place down and starting fresh but I understand that can be costly, I just hope that you do a better job than your predecessors. Â Maybe I'll bring my friends over the summer to see if you've kept to your word and the place has drastically improved but as it stands I find it hard to want to return. Â Good luck.
