Blue Bar is just awful! Too small, dirty, and the bartenders are not well versed on drinks..(annoying) if you dont know the drink that is requested, how about you ask whats in it and how to make it....
BUY an airconditioner!!! This place gets so hot and crowded its just gross and no fun. If you want to sweat before you even start dancing then Blue Bar is for you. I did once see a floor fan... real professional.
Bathrooms = FOUL
Honestly I will never go here again its just a hot mess..
Do you like having to constantly looking over your shoulder?
How about feeling like you shouldn't touch anything for fear of disease?
Are you fond of 20-something year old donkey witches?
How about wannabe thugs with a constant hunger for attention?
If the answer is yes, then come on down to Blue Bar! Where our clientele are as shady as the giant tree next to our building. Here at the Blue Bar we can offer you great pastimes such as...
Who roofied my drink?
Is that a woman?
Who can puff their chest out more?
Chess...
And my personal favorite, "did I just get stabbed?"
Still not sold? Let me sweeten the pot!
We can offer you the finest in customer satisfaction.
Looking for overflowing toilets with surfing turds floating past you at the bar? We got that.
We also offer free jabs to your ribs with pool cues instead of a polite "excuse me" (normally a $20 value but we're passing the savings onto you!)
If that weren't enough we also offer a hobo exhibit outside...wach them piss, shit, drink, puke, and piss some more! In as close to a natural habitat that we can provide.
Our customer's safety is our top priority, no weapons, no hoodies... No hats? But we'll go ahead and keep letting the troublemakers come back.
Do you like music? Then you'll hate our DJ!
That's right it's nonstop auto tune up in this bitch! Some people prefer real talent, but here at Blue Bar we do the robot voice and you'd better like it that way. Watch Shamu the disgusting frat girl grind and absorb the stripper pole with tactical precision. We have more pencil beards and Ed Hardy shirts than you can shake a stick at...you won't find that at any of our competitors establishments.
If you're looking for a clean bar with great atmosphere...fuck you. But if you want to contract the plague and syphilis at the same time while asking yourself the age old question "is that chick getting fingered on the dance floor? " This is your spot.
I was a little leary of going here after reading the reviews on Yelp, but my friend wanted to go here for her b-day so we went and it was pretty decent. Â No cover charge, we didnt get wanded, it didnt feel ghetto at all, it was your normal dive bar. Â Decent priced drinks and heavy handed bartenders, free bottled water and hip hop music all night. Â Crowd was a mixed crowd which I always appreciate we stayed until they shut it down at 2am. Â
There are cops that patrol Livermore pretty heavily, have a designated driver or taxi cab it.
Although we are out here in Hayward, our group always take turns being DD so we can make our annual Saturday night trip to downtown Livermore for BLUE BAR!! Â They always have a great DJ. We love how they play old school and avoid the new "swag boy" music that everyone seems to love nowadays!! They do have a pole to hop on when you want to have fun. Â We've never gotten into a fight here, never seen the cops here, nor gotten harrassed by anybody in here. Why all the complaints? Yes this place isn't your typical Tri-Valley bar, but it is a helluva lot of fun! Â Make your way into here for GREAT music, cool bartenders who make some bomb drinks, and good security. Â You won't have a bad night at Blue Bar ;-)
Review Source:I went here last Tuesday and it wasn't bad at all. I didn't see any metal detectors that people are complaining about. I went with my male friend and he didn't get wanded down. It's a fun place to go. I went there around 11 and it was pretty empty so I got a drink and after I was finished went to some bar down the street. When I got back about and hour later it was pretty packed. They had good music and good people. I'd definitely go back!

Ladies - please note that the security is all over it here. One word to a bouncer about some annoying douche bag stepping over the line and they're outta there. No other spot in Downtown Livermore is going to have security like they do. Even when that larger place was open across the street (you know the one that's a BBQ joint now) their security wasn't alert and lookin out half the time. These guys take care of their women.
And cops are always downtown - at every bar. its Livermore.
First off they pour a high octane drink that's for sure.
But you know it's gonna be all bad when you have to empty pockets and get wanded down by a metal detector before entering. The kid in front of me had a 5inch folding knife taken away from him. Sketchy.
So this place houses every would be thug from the 925. All the trust fund kids and urban gangsters love this place.
Packed to the gills and loud blaring music. It's pretty much a club scene inside this small bar. Seen one guy pretty much eating this girls face right next to me. Might as well have been porn.
All in all i think I have tried to avoid this scene since I got a bit older. It's fun every once in a while though.
I'm sure I may return here in the future.
A true effing dive bar in the purest sense of the definition. Â Anytime I can get wanded (i.e. metal detector, frisk for weapons, etc.) you just gotta know your in for a swell time. Â Oh yeah another thing...the walls are fucking BLUE! Â This place has the aura of a strip club that had sex with a truck stop that produced a baby that was born in a meth lab with a restraining order already in place.
Other than the fact that we all dipped ourselves in rubbing alcohol (i.e. vodka) after leaving I'm sure this place serves a certain purpose for some people. Â OK so the bartender was totally cool, our drinks were stiff & nobody got shot, stabbed or raped. Aside from that I just must be fucking old or not gangsta enough to appreciate this place.
I went here again last night and just want to elaborate on the service. Â Excellent service here. Â The bartenders are all very friendly and get to you as quickly as they can. Â They are the very definition of great bartenders and I will gladly go here just for their service.
However, still not a fan of the type of crowd here. Â It's pretty much a sausage fest trying to get laid and, honestly, light flirting here and there is fine, but you won't find that here. Â That type of atmosphere is what is preventing me from becoming a regular here, which I understand isn't really the Blue Bar's fault. Â Any bar you go to that has been around a while will have an established type of people that hang out there and the sleazy creepers just happen to congregate here.
If you want good service and drinks to match, though, here you go!
I LOVE the Blue Bar! Â I have been coming here for almost 9 years and it is awesome!
The dance floor has great lighting, the DJ's are awesome and Alex (Bartender / Owner) is amazing!
You do have to wait a bit for your drinks, but they are super strong and reasonably priced!
There are always fabulous people there that are (for the most part) friendly and like to strike up casual conversation!
The security is super awesome! Â They are really nice (to the girls mostly ; hehehe) and do a good job!
If you like a place to get your drink on, your dance on and your flirt on . . . Go To Blue Bar!~!~!
As a dive bar connoisseur, I have to say I'm rather smitten witth Blue Bar. It's less than a block away from the main Livermore nightlife (a lounge, traditonal club, and a saloon), but once inside the blue tinted walls... it just reeks of fantastic sleaziness (my favorite atmosphere when in a dive bar)!! It looks like something that would probably pass for a stripclub in a town of less than 10K residents.
First and foremost, I went here on a Saturday evening after trying out the lounge and club nearby (Sanctuary & Saphire). I didn't feel like overpaying for drinks the whole night at Sanctuary (while watching 50+ year old men stumble around drunkenly in tattoo inspired button-ups), or standing around the edges of Saphire's dance floor (Jr. high style) while the DJ was stuck in a permanent early 00's traffic jam mix. So I decided to walk back to the place that was playing vintage Snoop Dogg (Death Row era) when I passed it earlier in the night.
No cover. No pat down. Just an ID check and a blood red stamp on the wrist to get in. The drinks were poured with a HEAVY hand (I did the count in my head Rainman style) and I saw doubles being poured on literally every drink (in a short glass at that).
Seriously, anyone who came of age in the Central Valley during the 90's (and has fond memories of the local music produced during that time) should appreciate this place. I've never heard so much East Coast, Â Bay Area, and Underground rap played in a bar all night long without a gunshot going off (sad but true). The DJ was damn good and kept the atmosphere lively and fun.
As for folks claiming it might be sketchy/dangerous....that's the whole point and allure of dive bar's. However, after witnessing a few supposed thugs ordering a "Captain & Diet Coke"... I knew the danger was minimal.
Oh god the horror. Im thankful that the Jersey Shore kind of look hasn't invaded the west coast because they would spawn here, This is the Blue Bar; or my name for it the bro bar. It is raunchy and irritating and a great place to see the once cool and popular students in highschool now worn out, torn, and overweight, great if you want to observe the mutants spawning but really no use going for a good time, it's a glorified high school party in there.
Review Source:My first review after a 2 year Yelp hiatus is a local dive bar in Livermore.
Awesome.
What can I say? It's blue. It's shady. It's cheap as all hell!
I was here with a group of 12 a day after raging all night in SF for NYE and it was exactly what I expected. The guys all got wanded before entering, Christmas lights hanging around the bar, the DJ in cage?, tiny  dance floor, and no one attractive. But the music was good - some top 40, hip hop, and of course tunes straight from the bay - Ghost Ride The Whip! The drinks were cheap and STRONG. The 2 bartenders were huge and slightly scary looking but they turned out to be so rad. Shit, one of them bought me a couple a rounds! All in all it was a good night at a cool little local bar.
After having Thanksgiving with our families, my friends and I decided to party it up on Thanksgiving night and we found ourselves at the Blue Bar. I will pause here for your laughs.
Our main goal was to enjoy and drink it up. It was practically a ghost town when we strolled down first street. Blue Bar's lights were flashing and so that is where we parked. I must admit, the Bar looks a little seedy from the outside and is definitely not a fancy bar on the inside. There's a bar with plenty of bar stools for seating, a pool table and a tiny dance floor complete w/stripper pole in the back. Yup.
My friends decided to warm up by ordering a cozy warm whiskey concoction. No thank you. Soon after, the bartender (maybe the owner?) offered me one of his creations. It was called a Blue Otterpop and that is what it tasted like. Later on I had an Orange one and the night pretty much went off from there.
I recommend this place for cheap drinks and for those who want to sit around the bar to drink their sorrow away, get plastered and then walk home. Â
3 stars for friendly staff/bartenders and cheap drinks especially the Otterpops.
Most people patroning the bar looked like they had just turned 21.
When I was there,  a couple  was making out at the bar.
There is a pole on the dance floor and some girl with short shorts and cellulite filled thighs was doing a pole dance. I highly doubt she was a professional dancer, just kind of freaky and ugly.
People who work there- not particulary efficient, cute, friendly etc.
5 stars for nostaglic reasons. 3 stars now. 4 star total.
The BF is originally from Livermore so occasionally we head out that way for a night out with his friends. For those of you who don't know this about me, the born and raised SF girl once decided to move as far away from The City as possible and still technically be in the Bay and landed in Livermore for a one year lease in a cute apartment. And if you ever been under 35 and lived in Livermore you've spent more time than you care to admit in "The Blue Bar" as it is still known amongst the locals.
Yes it is a cool mini club. It is also the only club of any size in the adorable mini city of Livermore (not an insult, I am actually a huge fan of the budding city). Well it is truly the only place to dance without crossing city lines into Pleasanton or into the "hood" of Dublin. (I never got the Dublin Ghetto thing)
The Blue Bar always has great music, an awesome sound system, the sweetest no nonsense security guards (If Bear still works there I Love Him!), sexy bartenders, and lethal cocktails! ;-) Even for a big city girl like me, I always had an amazing time. Just a different personality than the night clubs I was used to. A bit more laid back and fun.
Only thing I don't like is the fact that the bedroom in my apartment is bigger than the dance floor, and that if you kiss a hottie on the dance floor you're also literally kissing every Tom, Dick, and Mary in the place- A small problem in small towns (in the only hot bar in small town you literally know everyone in the joint- at least by sight).
But it is the first dance floor I danced with the man I will someday marry. It is the first place he told me he loved me. And it is still an extremely fun night out, every time we make it out there!
If you are into getting creeped on by unsavory pervs and waiting half an hour for a drink then you will LOVE the Blue Bar!
I try to avoid it at all costs, but sometimes you get dragged there by someone who thinks its a good idea. Guess what. It isn't. There are constantly fights breaking out and people getting arrested out front. I've heard about horrifying things happening there. So please, if you value your life, do not go to the blue bar.
Same type of creepy guys across the street at Sapphire but at least this place doesn't try to be fake about it.
No cover for this place and it was packed inside... it was hard to get to the dance floor, if you could call it a floor. It was basically a tiny area in the back but they had a pole so I could show off the skills I learned earlier that day :)
We left after an hour and it seemed like the closer it was getting to closing time the busier this place got. I might come back but it would have to be during the middle of the week.
I've yet to test the drinks since the night I arrived wasn't one where I felt like getting my drink on. I've heard many stories about cops coming here because of fights breaking out and wouldn't you guess it. When I arrived there were cops finishing up with a fight that had broke out. In order to get in they have an actual machine that reads the strip of your license. I like this much better since it moves the people in a lot faster. I didn't realize they had a stripper pole either. Dance floor is a lot smaller than expected and overall my experience was fine but I don't think I'll ever be coming back to this bar anytime soon.
P.S. cops will pull you over even if you haven't had anything to drink. You're in the perfect place to get pulled over. Don't be surprised if you do... so please be smart and have a DD if you're going here.
Went here for the first time on Saturday Night. I honestly have never noticed this place during the day and was astonished to find it right across the street from the Fondue Restaurant!
Anyhow, I had already been drinking when I got there, so I didn't have any drinks. There is a cage for cage-dancing and a pole, a dance floor and a pretty cool DJ. Most people were friendly (some, a -little TOO friendly) but we all had a great time! I would definitely go back if the opportunity came around again.
If you're looking for a place to sit around and chit chat over drinks, avoid this place after about 10 pm. This little bar has a banging sound system and some great djs on the weekends, so it gets pretty loud and a little crazy it there!
Bartenders here are very friendly, drinks are pretty cheap and made strong - especially if you tip well. Security guards are hilarious and on top of their game, but watch out for the occassional girl fight on the dancefloor (usually over who gets to dance on the pole next).
The crowd is decent. Usually 20's to mid 30's, and well mannered for the most part. Though ladies, watch out. You will be hounded by at least one creep all night. Let security know if he is too annoying; they will take care of you :)
If you like a lot of sausage mixed in with some girls that rival the appearance of Charlize Theron in that movie Monster, you found yourself a wonderland.
The place gets an extra star for cheap drinks...trust me you'll need them, but since the drink prices run parallel to the bar's typical clientele, I wouldn't recommend going overboard as I would assume you might wake up the next morning questioning your sexual orientation unsure of what you danced with the night before.
Oh yeah, in an attempt not to come away empty handed, don't try stealing the wall art, they're on top of it. Â I saw a guy try and rip a Dumb and Dumber poster off the wall and got manhandled.
The Blue Bar is a cool place to go for cheap drinks and it's close to other bars so you can leave as soon as you get tipsy and walk to the next bar. Â
mmmm drunkin' stumbling.
Have you ever heard the expression "meat market"?.... I'm not talking about Trader Joe's meat section either. Â Moving on now.
Sometimes the DJ is good. Â Hit or miss really.
Don't park in their parking lot or on First Street... That is unless you like getting pulled over just for leaving the Blue Bar.
Over all I have had some good times here.
:)
If you are looking for a place with no cover ,cheap drinks and friendly bartenders this place is fun. It is very small and has a even tinier dance floor surrounded by mirrors! They have a dj and usually the music is great and  keeps everyone dancing nonstop. There is a few things you should know  some nights there are a lot of thuggish guys there and there is a stripper pole the guys might say nothing wrong with that but Ive yet to see anyone under 200 pounds use it.
Review Source:For someone who grew up in Livermore, I'm quite surprised that there's actually a cool place to hang out there. Â The place actually has a good DJ who mixes the music from ol skool 90's to some current beats. Good selection of drinks here and the bartenders are pretty quick in serving them out. Â Diverse group of folks here from all races and sizes, from your trailer trash folk to your hip trendy bunch to the dirty old men looking for young girls to the oversized girls who dress skimpy and think every guy wants them. Â
Also, if you were raised in this town, don't be surprised to run into at least 10 people from high school (which can be a good or bad thing). Â I had a run in with this one guy, and he remembered how my friends and I used to be mean to him. Â Well, I bought him a drink because I felt guilty and now all is good. Â Have also seen hot chicks from the past who were super hot back then but not so hot nowadays (and vice versa). Â And the so-called popular folks in high school who now look like hopeless washed-out drunks.
The Blue Bar has a great staff, a great selection of liquor and beer, and on Saturday nights has the best DJ that you'll ever hear without having to pay a cover charge.
I wouldn't suggest going there on Friday nights, the DJ sucks and the demographic seems to lean towards the "Hey look at me, I just turned 21 years old and I'm going to drink myself into a stupor" kind of crowd.
Now if they could do something about those occasional lines to get in...
If you're into getting hated on by little troll women and drooled on by frat boys, go to the Blue. My personal favorite was when some drunk chick dropped her glass on the dance floor and cut my foot open; the security guy took me in the back and started to try to clean up my bleeding foot WITHOUT WEARING GLOVES.
WTF, really.
They did give me free drinks after that, but I was done. I just wanted to go home. I guess it would be okay if it were a little bigger, but meh. Not my favorite place.
I miss Masses =(
Now, if I want to submerge myself into a Twiglight Zone of trashy women and an ocean of bros, then I'll take a little trip to a little Blue Bar. The owner is there most nights, and he knows all of his regulars and takes care of them. There is a lot security, and they have no tolerance for any bull...(quick story: a guy was harassing me, I let security know, they talked to the guy; he grabbed my butt a while later, security threw him out; he waited outside for me after the club closed, security detained the dude and another officer walked me and my friends to the car). The dancefloor is kinda crappy, but the DJ is usually really good, and EVERYONE dances - which is what makes it fun. It's a solid place, but I'd only go once a month...tops.
Review Source:Great little local spot for dancing. Â This place is really small so there's not a big selection for singles, but if you're not looking to hook-up and just want to have fun with friends then this is the spot. Â Decent drinks and a good variety of music. Â We had much more fun there one night than we ever expected to in the burbs.
They really need to stop frontin' with the line to get in though. Â This is a tiny little place and there's no reason to pretend like it's a city club where you need to wait in line or know someone to get in.
Great spot for a wide variety of people 20's through 40's.
If it wasn't for the fact that they have slowest bartenders in the universe, I would have given this place four stars.
Nice decor and totally non-pretentious. Â Everybody can have a good time here. Â No real dress code except for "don't be a thug." Â It's a place only a small town can have. Â This place would not work anywhere else in the Bay Area. Â In the Bay Area, Livermore and Alameda are probably the closest thing small towns that we have. Â There probably other places in the Bay Area with smaller populations, but they're suburbs, not small towns.
In my opinion, this is one of the best bars in Livermore.The owners, Alex and Chris are very nice guys, and they have hired a good staff. The interior is hip, reminding me somewhat of a good bar in the city. My favorite night is Thursday, when they have live music and one dollar PBRs starting at 8:00 p.m.
In addition, it is one of the few bars in Livermore that serves Widmer Hefeweizen (as opposed to Pyramid which is not as good).
I like the interior of this place. Â Not sure if I like the people who come here though. Â A couple of my friends kept getting hit on by random, wasted drunk guys with unoriginal pick up lines. Â It can be flattering to be hit on, if you say something clever and original. Â Otherwise, it seems so not cool. Â The drinks are reasonably priced. Â The dancefloor has a mirror so if you're narcissistic and you like watching yourself dance this is the place to go. Â Also, they scan your ID using one of those Palm Pilot things...I hate places that record your information without your permission.
