We sat inside this visit as it recently rained and was still wet outside. Updated hours so the open up at 12 Friday and Saturday, 10-4 on Sundays. Wednesday and Thursday 4-9. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. Ordered the "Smokey Margarita" mezcal replaces the tequila and a tahine rim, very delicious. Ordered the RI Stuffies. Quahog, chorizo and cornbread, interesting and comforting. I got the cilantro lime fried chicken sandwich with fries. Sandwich is delicious and the fries are crispy. The coleslaw on the sandwich make it tough to eat and a bit messy, but still good. Michele got the fish and chips. Their fryers are gluten free safe. So she was happy about that. All in all a great meal, wish my sandwich wasn't so runny with the Cole slaw. I would come back to try their pizza and other offerings.

It was an album release party for local pop-punk/emo band Broadwing. The card featured other local bands as well as a New England DJ. I know now that some shows at Blue are free or minimal cover which is great. Tickets for this show ended up being $12 which is a great value for a concert/night out. Hard to find tickets that cheap nowadays. The person working the door was friendly and had our name already so didn't even need to pull the tickets up. Bartenders were friendly and the drinks were well made. I especially liked their spicy cocktail Bing Bong which had the perfect kick to it! Prices were reasonable for drinks as well. Venue is on the small side as expected but had a great vibe for intimate smaller shows. Even with a sold-out show it was not overpacked. The acoustics and sound were good for a smaller venue as well. If you love smaller concerts I would recommend checking out their event schedule to see if something piques your interest. Also if you are a fan of pop punk music then do yourself a favor and check out Broadwing (especially their song New England Baby)! Very down to earth friendly band!

If I don't, there is NO current reliable information on who's scheduled. Pathetic and unreliable. I'm not doing it. I've enjoyed many evenings there, but the basic management of the venue is a joke.

I'm hanging on to the hope that my 4 stars will not have to be updated as the scales of bar justice can only tip downward hence forth. Perhaps I have a false sense of self - but I'm a freakin great customer - I spend hundreds of dollars a month on eating, drinking and making Merry at the midcoast Maine bars - y'all business owners better take notice of me and respect the badge, my writing power and my posse - cause I'll turn you out if I must. And when beady eyes behind the bar set upon me, they're not saying"welcome back valued customer" they're saying "it's him again" the concentric circles, the common center must not be broken with new faces and new money - Be the region between the two concentric circles - I think it's called annulus, be that, not an assulus. The folks at the bar are quite the opposite, they're friendly and engaging- one guy was dancing to live music, caulking around the AC while drinking drafts and discussing Him Morrison with me as I sat alone in a dark corner. This is what Irish bars are - just gotta inform the barmaid- only one, the other is quite nice - and the big guy - I'm betting a shit of Jamison that he's the owner- always running around the back, cooking up great meals - try his Steak and Cheese, the twelve inch pizza which beady eye called "fourteen" - duh - is $9.00 and big guys got a heavy topping hand, smothering that pie with the pepperoni that does that high heat trigger shaped twist - like a tulip pedal holding the little droplets of oil inside.

The bartender said we could order food even though it was really slow and the band had stopped playing. We ordered cheese steaks sandwiches. We asked what came with the sandwiches and we were told tater tots. It took almost 40 minutes to get our food. We had to wait about 5 minutes for the ketchup and there were no tater tots. We got a bag of chips and were told they were out of the tater tots and French fries. No respectable Irish bar would not be able to serve fries or some form of potato with a meal. The bar had about 10 people in the bar and they were all pretty drunk. It is not a fun pub but a place with some sad drunks.

Then the "regulars" showed up: drunk old men who thought harassing two women was entertainment. Their material? Misogynistic one-liners straight out of the 1970s. The best part? The bartender didn't step in, didn't shut it down -- just sat back and laughed like it was the comedy show of the year. Real classy. If management cares at all about creating a safe, welcoming environment, they should start by training their staff to protect all customers, not just pander to townie regulars. Until then, if you're a woman who expects basic respect, stay far away.
