I also like how there are games inside you can play like Jenga, connect 4, and cornhole. The bartenders were a little inconsistent though because the first time we ordered a tequila shot it wasn't filled to the rim and $10, and when we ordered again it was $15 but filled to the top and came with a little juice.

During the Portland: Old Port Culinary Walking Tour on Sunday, June 14, 2026, our first stop was…read moreAndy's Old Port Pub. At Andy's Old Port Pub, our group of 13 was seated in the backroom. The backroom has darts, pool, and a pinball machine. We were served a seasoned, grilled fresh haddock with house-made pickled vegetables, pico de gallo and lime crema in a corn tortilla and Andy's house Lager. I thought the fish taco was okay and was probably my least favorite food item from the whole tour. Andy's house Lager was very smooth and I really enjoyed it. Our tour guide talked about the suspicious happenings and the history of Andy's Old Port Pub. Also, the tour guide talked about Harbor Fish Market which was right across from Andy's Old Port Pub. The staff visit Harbor Fish Market in the morning and purchase fresh seafood.

You can clearly see the stage and the instrument sounds filled the venue beautifully. The volunteers were so nice and definitely have a pep in their step.

It's ok, we were there early and just walked back around. She apologized, when she saw us walking back the other way. As expected with older venues - there are a lot of stairs to traverse if you are in the balcony - this your warning. Drinks and restrooms are not available at every level, so make sure you plan accordingly. Parking is separate and it's not a bad walk - just wear comfortable shoes, so you don't twist your ankle. Security was friendly - expect the metal detectors, wanding, emptying of pockets and searching of bags. Typical for most venues. We look forward to our next show this year!

Surprisingly, I had a great time at Gimme Gimme Disco Night (which was advertised as ABBA night, but whatever). There are multiple, lengthy bars throughout this multi-level nightclub, a coat check (nice considering that I didn't want to wear my full-length parka when I was boogey-oogeying), themed drinks, and a spacious dance floor. Everyone dressed on theme and had a great time. The vibes were pure, the night was young, and I felt like a Dancing Queen. 1 star docked for how pricy the drinks were and for the long lines.

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!
