Blue Haven

Sarah the bartender is great. The rest of the establishment is just another run of the mill sports bar. If you have a large table, the nachos are great to share. The chicken fingers are awkward to eat because they’re not actually individually breaded tenderloins but awkwardly cut breasts instead. Nothing special, but not bad either. If you’re go to sports bar is full, swing by here.

This place used to be great, but the bouncer is so awful and mean to customers that there have been numerous complaints against him and the management has done nothing despite being aware of it. I was victim to this myself when I went to Blue Haven for lunch a few months back on a Sunday. I was too slow to show the bouncer my ID on the way back from the bathroom (I was sitting outside), so he kicked me out of the bar very aggressively actually getting in my face when I was surprised and confused.. we hadn’t even paid for our food and I *did* actually show him my ID (I’m in my late 20s). Confused, the server asked what was going on, and when I told her she said that the bouncer has a short a temper and can “be like that” with customers. The server got the manager, who came over and apologized to me and said my party could stay if we wanted to. Manager also offered to comp our food. We declined and canceled our orders and left. I suggested to the manager that she look into training the bouncer better or hiring one who does not try to instigate problems with customers. Later, some friends of mine told me they also had issues with this specific bouncer on previous occasions and had complained to management about it. It’s pretty crazy. Sometimes the situation at a sports bar can call for a tough bouncer. But a rainy Sunday afternoon (not football season) when there’s 12 customers in the entire place in eating lunch? Doesn’t make much sense. My guess is the ownership knows and doesn’t care because I haven’t seen them acknowledge any bad reviews before. I’ve been coming to Blue Haven for many years but no longer. Many nice, clean sports bars in the area that understand hospitality and where staff treat customers with dignity.
