It's tucked away in a strip mall off South Boulevard next to Goldie's (a spot I know well), but Dom's definitely flies under the radar. We stopped in for drinks and apps and were pleasantly surprised. Solid happy hour specials, reasonably priced food, and exactly the kind of bar food you want late at night--no frills, satisfying, and hits the spot. The drink selection was decent, and with it being the holidays, they even had some festive cocktails. The one I ordered was actually really good. We didn't stay long since this was more of a pre-dinner pit stop, but it left a good impression. Casual, affordable, and easygoing--definitely a spot I'll be back to when I'm in the mood for a low-key neighborhood bar vibe.

She was extremely attentive and truly went above and beyond with her outstanding service and personality. We had some questions about the menu and Carlos came to talk to us. He was also AWESOME!

They would have to ban me because I would be in there so much! We ordered the duck fat pretzel bites with the queso and they were drool worthy. Not pictured we also got a flatbread as well. Great experience and we will definitely be back!!

The wine selection is impressive and they have great cocktails, typically seasonal rotating options as well. I enjoyed the caviar and chips option, flatbread pizza, and brussels.

The drawback to this location is parking can be difficult, so plan accordingly for your arrival time in case you have to search for street parking.

I can't really tell if it's supposed to be a pool hall, an arcade, a sports bar, etc. It feels like it takes a little bit of all those things, but stops short of being any of those things. I'm also not really impressed with their selection of drinks, especially considering the nearby bars that it competes with. All-in-all, I don't hate Slate, but I just can't really find a good reason to go there.

If you take the light rail, it stops right in front of this location, so much more accessible. If you drive, there is plenty of parking in their parking lot to choose from (Score!). It's a fairly new spot, and I loved it. It's very spacious inside. Various of table seating and bar seating. They have a small stage for when they have a live band playing. They have 3 dart boards and 4 pool tables at no charge! Of course, they ask that you be considerate and let others get a chance to play. Went on a Friday night around 9 pm, and it was a decent crowd. I'm not too busy with plenty of space. They also offer a variety of board games and card games as well. We opted for UNO and had a blast playing that all night. Drinks were moderately priced and delicious. They also offer a basket of white popcorn for only $1! Love this new spot and will definitely be back for sure! A few last things are that dogs are welcomed on a leash, and they do not serve food, but you are more than welcome to receive deliveries here or bring your own.

It is not fake, so we said we would call the police because we need the ID back and he was refusing to return it. He walked away scanned it at the bar, came back and admitted that yes, it is real but that he still could not let us in. Fair enough, they have a right to refuse service. Asked for ID back, bouncer accused me of touching him and wanting to fight. That also was not true and a separate patron nearby even said "he isn't touching you, or raising his voice". Bouncer tried goading me into doing something stupid a couple more times then finally relented and gave the ID back. Wish I could give a more fair review to this place, but when you have a bouncer who doesn't know how to do his job and starts freaking out on patrons for no reason it's rather difficult to ever get an idea about the joint.

It's a great place to play with APA players in 8 and 9 ball. Food choices are available but not a full kitchen (pizza, nachos, popcorn are the staples.)

Stays open late even without a full house so it's a fun spot to come after dinner and play.

It pains me to write this review as I have spent many years at Blue Rocks and have introduced it to…read moreother people as well, but I feel like I need to make others aware of the situation that happened here. I was at Blue Rocks with a few friends to grab a couple beers and play darts on a Friday night in February 2023. They have leagues on Friday nights so it was highly crowded with customers. As the night went on I went to the ladies room and unbeknownst to me, a man followed me into the women's restroom. I personally did not know he was in there but thankfully another customer saw this happen and went up to my friend and told her to run and go get me since I was followed. As I was walking out of the stall my friend abruptly opened the door and that is when I saw a man standing behind the wall of the other stall (in between the sink and stall), hiding. My friend immediately grabbed me and we quickly left the restroom. I immediately walked up to the bar tender to report the situation and he said he would "take care of it and thank you for letting him know". I felt reassured in this moment since the bar tender and I have seen each other several times and I felt like had a rapport. Or so I thought...but 10 or so minutes later go by and I see the same man still standing at the bar ordering a drink. This made me uncomfortable so I went to close out my tab to leave. The bar tender then says to me "I handled the situation." I stated "no, you did not, he is still in the bar." Bar tender replied "Well I asked him why he followed you into the women's restroom and he said he didn't know he was in the women's restroom." So not only did the bar tender NOT handle the situation, he also disclosed I was the one who reported the situation and now the man knows exactly who I am, where I have been sitting, where my friends are etc. I am writing this review because not only did I feel unsafe...the bartender also did not do his duty to protect his customers. I have been going to Blue rocks for years. By myself, with my friends, with my family and have never felt unsafe until this very night. I am extremely perturbed by how this was handled (well actually it wasn't handled) and want others to be aware so they can be prepared to protect themselves when they are there. Although the man did not harm me as the situation was stopped by multiple customers (thankfully...seriously I cannot thank you enough!) it was extremely inappropriate and unfortunate. I will not be returning to this establishment and I hope Blue Rocks can learn from this situation and act accordingly the next time this happens.
