- '''ADMIN NOTE: All comments from 2007 are now archived in ["Blue Room/Comments"]''' - ------ - ''2008-07-07 16:54:29'' [[nbsp]] I don't think they've been charging a cover recently. My issue with it is - yeah it's a dive bar kind of place, but why is no one ever there?? It's about the only place to get affordable drinks in the East/Alexander Street area. They actually have specials and that's almost unheard of on a weekend night in that line of bars. - - The bathrooms need lots of help, and it's not "cool" but it's a good place to drink before going out somewhere else in that area. --["Users/SaraChristine"] - ------ - ''2009-07-22 14:12:14'' [[nbsp]] Hey everyone! The blue room has new owners and is reopening Wednesday July 29 2009! There are going to be lots of drinks specials so come check it out. --["Users/kate"] - ------ - ------ - ''2009-10-18 23:58:51'' [[nbsp]] This place has been comletely redone. No more issues, check it out. They have food now too and its GREEEAAAATTT. Rochester's hotspot that's keeping it real --["Users/JoeShmo"]	+ '''ADMIN NOTE: Comments prior to 2010 are archived in ["Blue Room/Comments"]'''

	+ ------ + ''2010-06-08 16:14:28'' [[nbsp]] Back in the day, I used to really like the Blue Room, so after reading that it's gotten new owners and has been reopened, I went to check out the Web site. Um, Blue Room? 1997 called and wants its Geocities site back. Seriously, if you're going to have a "menu" page on your Web site, have the actual-freakin'-menu, not just some tacky clip art of wings and pizza. I find it hard to believe that this is "Rochester's hotspot" and, based on the impression I get from the site (which totally belies the martini-glass logo, I might add) I think I'll stick to my new haunts. --["Users/ZeldaPinwheel"]

- ''????-??-?? ??:??:??'' [[nbsp]] - The Blue Room is a bar on the Alexander Street strip. Because I feel such ambivalance towards this establishment, I will simply list what I've observed. - - The Good: - * They have a covered deck that's very nice in warm weather. - * The Ovaltini, their specialty drink. - * Wordster, darts on both floors, pool table. - * The juke box is decent. - * The bar tenders are attentive. - * The clientele tends to be mellow. - * Closed circuit TV allows you to check out the downstairs from the upper area. - - The Bad: - * No heaters on the deck in the winter. They haven't caught onto this trend yet. - * There's a nasty smell in the downstairs area a lot of the time. - * It's usually cold (coat-wearing cold) downstairs. They could turn the heat up a notch or five. - * The bathrooms are not attended to often. - * The downstairs bar appears to be closed forever. It would be useful if they had someone down there. - * The sound system sucks and tends to be too loud. The staff isn't that hot with the music. - * Some of the bartenders are unable to make a proper martini or an Ovaltini. - - - Overall it can be a fun place to hang out, but the management appears to be slacking a lot. --Anonymous - ------ - ''2005-11-24 01:25:20'' [[nbsp]] Considering that their LOGO is a martini olive/glass, you'd think every bartender would have an idea of how to make them. --["MariahBetz"] - ------ - ''2007-01-28 17:43:57'' [[nbsp]] I dig the Blue Room. It's always pretty mellow and always a good time. The above "the bad" list is pretty accurate, though, minus the fact I saw the downstairs bar open a month or so ago. --["MisterElkington"] - ------ - ''2007-01-29 09:00:29'' [[nbsp]] The Blue Room used to be our regular Friday night haunt. New management has brought in a new crowd and a cover to get in. It has gone WAY downhill and we no longer bother going there. --["BadFish"] - ------ - ''2007-01-29 09:37:19'' [[nbsp]] I haven't been in a while, and I'm sad to hear about the new management. Last time I was near there, they were in fact charging cover. I defer to BadFish's judgement. That's too bad, though. --["MisterElkington"] - ------ - ''2007-08-31 13:00:39'' [[nbsp]] The Blueroom is the typical dive bar. The patio isnt too bad. --["Users/MrRochester"]	+ '''ADMIN NOTE: All comments from 2007 are now archived in ["Blue Room/Comments"]'''
