You can tell the bartenders take pride in their craft, and even though the place was packed, they were pumping out drinks fast without sacrificing quality. The vibe is what sealed it for me. The DJ was spinning all the Millennial throwbacks, and the whole crowd was into it. It felt like the perfect mix of fun, stylish, and a little nostalgic all at once! 1000% loved everything about this place, from the drinks to the energy,and I'm already planning my next night out here, I'll try to save you a seat!!

I came in, picked a stool without thinking too much about it, and settled in with a Newcastle. The room has that warm lounge feel--low lights, comfortable seating, bottles glowing behind the bar, and just enough quiet to let conversations happen naturally. Jen was behind the bar and did exactly what a great bartender should do. Attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing conversation, and she keeps the room moving with an easy confidence. You can tell she knows the rhythm of the place. Within a short time I had two completely different conversations with people sitting nearby--one about life and money, the other about a dice game played with six dice and house rules for ones and fours. That's the kind of bar environment that happens when a place feels comfortable and real. Sometimes the best bars aren't about being loud or flashy. They're about atmosphere, good service, and a space where people can just exist for a while. Jen helps create that here. I came in, sat down, enjoyed my beer, and left feeling better than when I walked in. That's a good bar

Yeah, it's a shame that I am not allowed to put zero stars. Came in on Saturday evening, and I've been here plenty of times, even prior to the second half of this bar opening. It took me nearly half an hour to get an order in, not to say that the establishment wasn't busy, because it was...but not to busy enough, as the bartender was being a chatty Kathy with the entire bar.... not including our half obviously. Being in the serving industry for years myself, a friendly "I'll be right with you", would have put me at ease. I am opposed to just complaining though, afterall, they did get over a hundred dollars from my pocket, i stayed and tried to enjoy my time. The decor is great, very open, very easy to hear yourself talk, the live band gigs, the layout, the entire bar itself has GREAT potential. Just seems like everyone stopped caring. To the owners, hate me if you will, but seriously? One bartender on a Saturday night...in a town with 4 bars? 2 of which get busy as hell...yours being one of them. Get a bar back who can not just pick up a glass, but refill it when asked. I rarely post anything on this site, and you will be hearing from me in person, as I believe in your bar... i truly do. Best of luck But as for now... 1 star. read more

I've been a regular at Blue Horse Lounge for quite some time, and I've always enjoyed the atmosphere and service. However, my visit yesterday was extremely disappointing due to the behavior of two new staff members, Robin and Daniela. They were getting drunk with some guys from the barbershop while on the clock, which was highly unprofessional. They were free-pouring all the drinks without any measurement, and by the end of the night, they were visibly plastered. The bar was in complete disarray, and it took an unreasonable amount of time for them to take my and my sister's order. This was particularly frustrating because it was supposed to be ladies' night, which was the main reason we decided to go. Instead of providing the expected level of service, they seemed to be giving all their attention to the men at the bar. The whole experience was chaotic and disappointing. I hope the management addresses this issue promptly to ensure it doesn't happen again. The Blue Horse Lounge has always been a great place to unwind, but last night's experience was far from what I've come to expect. read more

I happened to stop by last night and met a tremendously wonderful bartender who served some amazing drinks. Just the right amount of everything, obviously a seasoned tender! I've been around to all of the bars, especially when there's karaoke, but this bartender made my month! She was polite and the right amount of chatty too! I will definitely be going back as long as she's there. I highly recommend anyone going to see Jen when she's working. Just a phenomenal person!! Thank you kindly!! read more
