this place is awful. Females are NOT safe here. My boyfriends sister got shoved by a bouncer…read morebecause she didnt realize there was a line to get up the stairs. When my boyfriend went to see what the issue was the bouncer immediately starts hitting him. At least 3 more bouncers hop in and start jumping my boyfriend. One of them started smashing their flashlight on his head. I thought they were going to kill him. His sisters tried stopping the bouncers and the bouncers HIT his sisters. They pushed his little sister out the door so hard that she went flying to her knees. Then one of the bouncers came running out yelling "im going to go fuck that bitch up"...talking about beating a woman.... I have never seen anything like this in my life & i find it too convenient they have no number or manager to talk to. This place needs to be shut down before someone gets killed. IF YOU ARE A WOMAN: please be careful. The bouncers here are pathetic excuses for men and WILL put their hands on you.

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. There many of them, there to greet and bring you to the general area of your seats. I say general area, because one actually brought us to the opposite end of the row were were seated. 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!

My wife and I recently went to our first show at Blue the other night. Had never really known it…read morewas a spot prior to this concert. 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!
