This venue is aesthetically very nice. The atmosphere, for the most part is great. The sound and stage are decent. The drinks are over priced and WAY OVER SERVED. There were very drunken belligerent people @ an Edwin MCcain concert. He plays mellow country music and two fist fights almost broke out! I can't help but blame the venue for over serving a crowd of obnoxious alcoholics. Edwin even said something about it on stage! As a musician & performer I felt so bad for him. He's a former alcoholic himself so I'm not surprised by his crowd. I don't blame him or even his crowd. This venue will get in trouble for this in the future. We probably won't come back. Way to keep it classy, Salisbury Beach!
Review Source:The Haverhill Chamber just did an event for over 200 women at Blue Ocean.
It was incredibly great! Â The venue is beautiful, the view is stunning. More importantly to me as an event planner - the staff was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. Â There were NO glitches. They were patient with our neurotic need to visit the venue a dozen times by a dozen different people. Â The support we got from the AV department made my job as emcee so much easier. Â They are TRUE professionals.
And the food was great. Â I've done about 500 events like this in my long career -- and I never expect the food to be anything more than acceptable. This was 'restaurant good'. Â The veggies were cooked perfectly, the FISH was cooked perfectly. Â
I would highly recommend Blue Ocean to anyone planning an event!
This is a really great place to see a show. Nice staff, really clean environment and the band is right in your face. It makes the Hampton Beach Casino look like a total dump (which it is...and the Casino's staff is on a Gestapo head trip to boot).
Love Blue Ocean. I've seen several shows there (Little Feat, Jorma, ZoSo, etc.) and will continue to go back.
