Went here on a weekday evening and enjoyed the $8 martinis which were very tasty. The decor is very immersive and the music festive. We also tried the grinch shot which was very tasty. I would return here.

Very beautifully decorated for Christmas, and their martini specials are great! It is a bit loud.

This past Saturday I had the worst experience here and do not recommend this place. I was elbowed hard by the person who was supposed to seat us. Then he sat other people who were sitting at the bar at the table instead of seating my group of 3 who had been waiting. Horrible food, service and drinks. They charged us for items that they told us they ran out of. Not sure if had to do with race but I can clearly see the difference in treatment.

I love the Blue Line Lounge. It has a lot of gluten-free options for me! It also has delicious drinks. We sat by the fireplace and it was so cozy since it was raining so hard outside. Where we were it was easy to have a conversation. I also just like the vibe of the place.

I quite truly haven’t been able to stop thinking about the mac and cheese from this place since I had it two weeks ago and needed to share that with google

There's nothing not to love about this place. Amazing food. Amazing staff. Super fun vibes. If anything I just wish they were open for lunch during the week.

Service was good! I’m only reviewing based on the drinks I got. I came on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy but I was able to walk in and find a seat. It’s a cool place - music is good, vibe feels welcoming. Everything is great besides the fact that I think their pours are not standard or they don’t do standard amounts for a whiskey old fashioned. Each one I got was only filled like 60- 75%. They were also pretty sweet and I get whiskey old fashions because I really don’t like sweet drinks. When I brought up my drink to the bartender she just said it’s standard and there’s nothing she can do - wait for the ice to melt. and there’s obviously something that can be done. So that’s the reason for my 2. Here is a picture of what I got both times and not taking a sip at all.

I wouldn't quite call the Blue Line Lounge a hidden gem – it filled up quickly after we arrived at opening time. But for someone who walks by all the time, it certainly felt that way! From the outside, it appears unassuming, just another bar. But step inside, and you're transported to another era.
The first thing that hits you is the stunning interior. It's a blast from the past, with a vintage American vibe straight out of a 60s movie. There's ample seating, whether you prefer comfy booths or bar stools.
Speaking of recommendations, my best friends raved about their martinis, and let me tell you, they were right! They're known for them for a reason. I started with the Passion Martini, a delightful and fruity concoction. Then, I ventured into a Dirty Martini – both were incredibly well-balanced and flavorful.
The music adds another layer to the experience. It's relaxing and perfectly complements the atmosphere. The Blue Line Lounge isn't just about the drinks, it's the whole experience, from the comfortable seating to the expertly crafted cocktails. The bartender was also top-notch – professional, fast, and attentive.
If you're in the neighborhood, this place is a must-visit. Thank me later!

The staff is beyond friendly, and accommodating. They offer signature cocktails for half off on Wednesdays. Always super clean, and offer table games. Great for outings with friends, family, and dates. Just don’t bring too many dates here lol always a great experience.
