Horrible security! I don't drink and was simply their quietly and my family we're celebrating my nieces birthday and my son was asked to leave. I think it's interesting that it was a huge "brown brother" who seemed to over react to my son who yes was drunk but coke one "big" guy to react and say you were threatened and I was sober (don't drink) and was never threatened by anyone. He proceeded to walk my son to door (he was just having a good time) and my son looked at me and simply shrugged and said I have to go. We immediately went toward the door and the jerk bouncer was pushing me! Not sure if he can legally put his hands on me as it wasn't me who was asked to leave but yes he was pushing my back toward door and literally pushed me out the door? The other guys at the door were fine but this guy was a jerk! Do better or get a new job! Stop being a jerk! You work in a bar read more

Usually a good vibe given there's a dance floor etc. But the staff are extremely stuck up and need to get off their high horse. Having been there a handful of times, I have never had a pleasant experience with any of them. Definitely no where near my first choice when hitting the downtown core. Places like this make the downtown core more unappealing than it already is. read more

Had a LOT of good times here. Tonight was NO exception. Kamloops Pride held a Burlesque show and it was over the top great ! Wow ! The place was packed, and it was still nice and cool, the sound was great and the lighting was perfect. I really like this little night club. Its not fancy. Its not big city, but it has atmosphere and good energy. And it fits the crowd to a T. The drinks have always been good too. Service is friendly. Good security at the door. read more

I reeeeally don't get why people here seem to like the Blue Grotto so much. It's dark, dingy, and uninspired. In a bigger city, this would be the kind of bar that would have a poor reputation. This isn't the kind of place you dress up to go to. In fact, sometimes I feel overdressed in jeans and nice top. Unfortunately there aren't many places to go dancing in Kamloops so I end up here more often than I would like. The Blue Grotto claims to be a 21+ club but really that label is just a deterrent to keep the "kids" out. The crowd it tends to draw is MUCH older. At 26 I feel like one of the youngest people there by at least a decade. I suppose for some people this would be a positive, but I would personally prefer a venue that catered to a younger crowd. Drinks are offered at pretty standard prices for BC and the selection is decent. They have a wide range of bottle beers (mostly domestic) as well as a full-bar for high balls. One positive about the Grotto is their staff, everyone from the bartenders to the bouncers. I've never had an issue with anyone there and I'm always impressed with bar staff who can serve drinks quickly and still manage to be friendly. I will say that I do enjoy how the Blue Grotto always seems to have live music. It's a nice change from the usual club DJs. While most of them tend to be mediocre cover bands, some of the regulars are actually quite good. Try to stop by on a night that the The Young'uns are playing! read more

So many cougars that be hittin this place up. Me and the homies came here last weekend and homie took home a bangin milf off the dance floor. I was stoked for him since it was his first cougar/milf. Bout time in my opinion. Dayum. Country/rock and roll tunes is wack, but the older bitches be lovin it. -Peace read more

Drove a long way to see Brickhouse play live on this small stage. It wasn't until the second set was well underway that people got up to dance, come on Kamloops, loosen up. The place is small, dingy and can get packed fairly quickly. The drinks were fairly priced and the admission fee was okay. The bouncers however are a bunch of overzealous egomaniacs on some kind of power trip. Not nice at all, very rude to say the least. read more

Huge Fan of the The Blue Grotto!! Love the live music and the staff have always been super nice and the drink prices are not bad either. There is a smoking area for you smokers out there. Nice big dance floor to shake your booty. read more

Easily the best bar in Kamloops. Live music always gets the dance floor going! Friendly door staff will ensure that you're well taken care of with nothing to worry about. In between sets Gary will play all the hits! read more

We came in with a birthday party of 22, mostly family. We were there by 830. The range of ages were 35 to 75. More than half of us were from out of town. Amazed that the security used a weapon wand on all of us, but no ID scanner. One of our party was a daughter of one from out of towners who came a little later. She was denied entry because she was under 21, she's 20. Isn't BC drinking age still 19? I understand they may have issues with young rowdy ones, but come on a tiny 20 year old girl with her Mom, Aunt & uncle and their friends? So the 5 who traveled from Surrey had to leave with her. We were denied our cover charge back even though the band had not stated yet. So, they lost out on a whole lot of business because of this. Dear owners, you have some highly intelligent employees on the door. read more

went to blue grotto to enjoy some live music. The band sucked and I have never been treated so badly by staff. I had my hat on backwards and was violently hauled out by the bouncers. Not even asked to leave or spoken to just pulled out of a booth and thrown out. Who does this? NEVER AGAIN! read more
