    One Longfellow Square is a small, intimate venue that I definitely recommend. If you see someone here you can count on a respectful audience that is there to listen (and not talk over) what you are listening to and there is a great laid back vibe. I've seen 3 shows there and have always been happy with the sound quality and view of the stage. Staff is friendly and they have a small 1 person manned bar for drinks and beers if you have the urge. Seating setup is 2 levels: up the stairs has a small upper level. If it was me I'd sit in the first couple of rows for best view. Overall I recommend sitting downstairs with the most seating and views of the stage (and if you prefer not to crane your neck when looking down when seated upstairs). The only reason I can't quite give 5 stars for this is although the venue is great overall, the setup for seats is foldable chairs, some which are all wood with a non padded seat that I can't say are comfortable. All in all I won't hesitate to go to other shows and highly recommend this spot. A tip: there is no dedicated parking for OLS so show up early for that on-street parking (which is free after 6 pm). Enjoy!

    Great intimate venue. Nice acoustics and not a bad seat in the house.

    Without a doubt the best place in Portland to see live music. Check out this wonderful intimate listening room, you'll not be disappointed!

    There is a small bar if you want some libations, and they have some nice local beer selections there.

    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!

    The online presence of Blue is a dumpster fire. Why do I need to enter my contact information just…read moreto see what's happening tonight? 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. It will be a shame when it closes. What acts are scheduled for the NEXT WEEK? How difficult is that to maintain? Apparently, it's not possible.
