Stopped in on a Friday night and was really impressed with the space. The bar was nice nice and the music was good with volume that allowed easy conversation. Our table enjoyed beer, wine and cocktails -- all good despite the small-ish selection. The small bites we ordered were very enjoyable. We will definitely be back.

Had our company party there on December 3, 2019. The building was beautiful and along with it's history, but that's all folks. Wish I could say the same for the food, but that would just be a lie. The food served was horrendous...I ordered a MEDIUM NY strip steak and it came to my seat well done! Only to later learn that the whole party got well done NY Strip steak. If the venue can't produce a quality steak, take it of the selection list and do not force patrons to endure such low quality food. Total disappointment and not worth eating at.

Fabulous cocktails in a fresh historic building that used to be a customs house! The food is amazing, as is the atmosphere and real colonial architecture. A must visit hidden gem in FiDi!

This bar is so beautiful and inviting! Delicious cocktails and delightful ambiance make for the perfect cocktail hour with friends. Everyone in the our wedding party thoroughly enjoyed spending time here over the weekend.

The blue bar at India House is a classy place. So classy that you may have a good time during happy hour even if you do not drink.

Stopped in after work on a Wednesday with business colleagues and was wowed by both the food and drinks. Awesome selections and great ambience. Definitely returning. Get the Shrimp Sliders and Fried Butternut Squash Ravioli.

This is a great and quiet spot to have drinks. The service was a bit slow in the beginning, but once the gentleman manager(?) noticed that I was sitting at a table waiting - the one bartender became much more attentive. Drinks are good, but again, most importantly one of the few spots in FiDi that isn't overly packed and where you can actually hold a conversation with a coworker or a friend.

Blue Bar is a hop away from my work, so it's been the team's after work spot a couple of times. The decor is quite traditional and there hasn't been a wait or a crowd either time I came. Blue Bar has been good for going out with work colleagues because it's not too loud and nice, but not too nice if ya catch my drift. Do note that there aren't any hally hour specials though! Also, there are wedding photos all over the place since it's more of an event space than a bar scene. The first time I came, I tried some cocktails as well as some snacks, including the truffle fries, calamari, and flatbread. My only complaint was that the calamari was so salty. We didn't finish it. The second time, my party got a mix of beers and cocktails. For noshing, we ordered the pretzel and truffle fries again. Unfortunately, the truffle fries weren't crispy and had nary a taste of truffle. Perhaps they just forgot to toss the spuds in truffle oil, who knows. The pretzel was tasty at least, although we could have used a knife since we were sharing. It was fine though. No complaints about service either time, but if I come back, it will be for drinks only.
