    Price: Scales depending on what you order. Basic beers are on the lower end while craft beers, including local Ohana Brewing Company selections on tap, typically range around $8 to $10. Food is available although the menu has not been explored yet. Location: Convenient spot in Alhambra with nearby parking on either end of the block. Free two hour parking is available until 5pm and then parking tends to open up more freely into the evening. Ambiance: Sports bar atmosphere. Seating includes bar stools, standard tables, high top seating, and lounge type areas. Audio quality comes with deep bass and clear sound, with DJs featured some nights. Lighting is on the dimmer side with illuminated bar signs and tvs creating most of the glow. Menu: Full bar selection including cocktails, canned beers, taps, and food. Service: Consistently strong with staff fulfilling orders even during busy shifts.

    Free parking structure on 1st street. Came here for game night. Place was pretty empty. Just walked in, no cover charge. Had to flag down the ONE bartender for a menu. She told us to go to the bar when we were ready to order. Ordered the Elysian Space Dust $8. The cup was dirty! It had pink lipstick on the rim! The Elysian Space Dust was little too bitter for our taste. The Classic Old Fashion $13 was very disappointing. The rim had little black spots and many area was chipped. We liked that they used Maker's Mark, however, it initially tasted like they forgot the sugar, then we realized they didn't mix the drink and all the sugar was sitting at the bottom. Very disappointing. We also had the Michelada $11, the rim was covered with tajin, so we couldn't tell how dirty the cup was. Not a fan, had about 1/5 before deciding it was a lost cause. Really didn't like that they left the door open, allowing people to smoke in front of the door, and letting all the smoke come in. Would not come back.

    Really vibrant and loud sports bar that becomes kinda like a club at night where they just blast music and people are dancing. Gets a little wild but nothing too crazy. Pretty good selection of drinks. Beware, they won't let you in with Crocs because I was stopped.

    Cheers to a year of fun work experiences together and many more!!!!

    I don't like writing lower star rating reviews, but this place stood itself out. My coworkers and I arrived here for part two of our birthday boy's celebrations, but we got a weird vibe to begin with. This bar appeared to be closed earlier than posted on the nite of our party upon first attempt checking out the venue briefly. We were second thinking if we were going to spend some time here for part two. Finally, we decided staying, but we didn't realize the background music was going to be turned wayyyyy loud we were barely able to hear each other talk!!!! Despite extremely and unnecessarily loud background music, my coworkers and I still ordered extra shots to support them. The seating arrangement that was available turned out inconvenient as well at least it wasn't suitable for a large party of 7. Upon taking off after a short visit due to extremely loud rock and roll music played in the background, a few of us suggested some staff to turn down the music. It was just a weird place to hang out after a perfect dinner party at Chicken Coop, Alhambra, CA., which is a neighborhood, upscale restaurant. How's one suppressed to hear each other talk? I had a hard time half screaming my voice out just to get a few sentences out to my friends, just sayin?!'

    Cool bar for sports, especially the Raiders. The quality of food is not the same. Seems to have took a hit during Covid.

We came in around 6:30. They had just opened but the atmosphere was ready! Dark and moody with candles on the table, it was the perfect spot to grab a drink and catch up. Jeremy was our bartender and he was fantastic. Super chill and friendly and made us some amazing drinks based on a few preferences. Our "bartenders choice" drinks were amazing, so much so that our "drink to end the night" turned into two drinks and some appetizers. We ordered taquitos and mozzarella sticks. Overall all three of us ladies loved this place! We definitely plan to be back! Let Jeremy make you a drink - you won't regret it.

The interior has dark lounge lighting with tables throughout. I got the gotham standard manhattan ($16) which was strong and spirit forward. We came right when they opened so it was very empty, but the bartender mentioned it gets really packed and lively on weekends. If I came back and was able to guess the password I'd stop by when it's more energetic for a different vibe.

Because this is a hotel bar since it's situated in The Langham 5-star luxury hotel, the drinks are expensive like $25 starting. One of my friends got a lemon-based mocktail (pretty good) and I got Cosmopolitan-type cocktail with Prosecco (pretty solid and not overly sweet, just not one of the best cocktails I tried). Another friend ordered Negroni, which is a potent cocktail with a bitter sharp, dry aftertaste. I could hardly taste any hint of sweetness in the drink. My friend thought it was too bitter, too. Honestly, for me it tastes just as bitter as a Manhattan, probably because both cocktails incorporate sweet vermouth. 3 stars for the poor customer service and wait time for standing in line to order drinks. There were 2 or 3 bartenders and they were rushing but also seemed like they weren't efficiently helping customers with drinks in a timely manner. The lounge area was meh (super limited seat spots) and the vibes were bland despite coming here on New Year's Eve. Definitely an older demographic that frequents this bar, not that it's a bad thing, just not our vibe since it would've been more fun if there other people closer to our age, so we decided to bar hop elsewhere after.

It proved more difficult when dealing with the owner Scott. I'll start by saying the end result was us rescheduling at the same rate that we booked & our event went well, however it wasn't without hiccups. When rescheduling, we were specifically instructed by Scott to cancel our booking in Peerspace & rebook the new date. That's when issues started. Before cancelling I mentioned how Peerspace won't refund our full amount & Scott replied that whatever isn't refunded will be credited toward the new date. That didn't happen without us constantly reaching out via text, email, & Peerspace. When you request a date on Peerspace it's pending review/approval from Blush, however it charges you immediately. Since we opted for the payment plan that required about half down & remainder later, we were waiting on our refund to book the new date. It never came. When we were finally able to have a phone call with Scott, I couldn't get one word in the entire time he was mansplaining the world of business. He was very patronizing & I swallowed my pride because we just wanted a resolve & to not lose the deposit. I asked very clearly whether he was going to uphold our agreement. He did, but under the condition that we pay the remainder of our balance upfront in good faith to them. We did & that was that. Thereafter, it was back & forth whether Chris would still be working our event which Scott said he was. Chris was the saving grace of Blush in our opinion. Customer service & how you treat people is king, so it put our hearts at ease. But not for long, since it was changed later to Jin. Getting Jin to respond was difficult. We requested a final walk through with our coordinator about a month before our event. Jin told us he wasn't feeling well & wasn't present for most of the walk through. So we asked questions via email instead. I specifically mentioned a clean facility is important to us. The place just wasn't as polished as we first saw it. He was responsive only after I'd send text follow ups. The week of, not at all. I was waiting on confirmation about our drink selection which I never got & we just hoped it would all work out the day of. Day of our coordinator arrived first. The bathrooms were clean but the bar, cocktail tables, mirror hallway, & front door were full of fingerprints and sticky as if not cleaned from a previous event. We were told there would be 2 staff & that they'd be able to help us move cocktail tables. We weren't aware one of those people would be Jin & he wasn't helpful at all. He completely ignored our coordinator & aunt, but jumped to help our DJ with the sound system. We can only conclude it's because our DJ is a man & as a same sex female couple that leaves such a bad taste in our mouths. Our coordinator & aunt ended up cleaning everything with the one rag & spray bottle he gave after we repeated asked. Coordinator, wife, son, & I moved the heavy tables/ottomans. The drinks didn't taste like our selections. But the worst part was that he started charging our guests upon arrival. My wife & I stepped away to change our clothes. We were there 1.5hrs before start time & Jin never approached us or our coordinator for our card. He also had our itinerary ahead of time and met our coordinator. FYI on top of booking fees, you're also required to use their bar service for ALL drinks alcohol/nonalcohol which is included info on Peerspace. We agreed we'd cover the required minimum of $2500 & once we reached that amount it would turn into a cash bar. Our guests approached us confused about the bar so my wife personally went to Jin & asked why people were being charged, to which he responded "I couldn't find you guys." They immediately include their tip, which we weren't aware of, so drinks totaled to about $2100 w/ the remainder being tax/tip. They continuously ran out of cups & had zero cups for the water dispensers. We were refilling used water bottles to give to the kids. My aunt & cousin were busing tables. Bartenders didn't care to stay quiet or hold drink orders during vows. Every video we have of our vows is them shaking drinks & slamming glassware. There were good things too, kinda. It wasn't communicated to us that the front bathroom was for staff only & we had a outfit change planned, so after first saying no, Jin ended up letting my wife & I use the front bathroom. Also him assisting our DJ resulted in the music going well. It's sadly overshadowed by all the other things that needed improvement. It comes down to a lack of customer service & professional decorum, because the venue itself is beautiful. We gave a final 3 STARS because everything came together. Those missing components are just so vital. A work day for them is literally someone else's most important day that they're choosing and paying to celebrate at Blush.
