big martinis
by emmils
this place has big drinks and is right near good mexican food. this is just a test, but reviews have to be 100 characters.
- Pros: big drinks
Great drinks, great live music atmosphere Mondays and Thursdays
by trippin01345
Stopped on a Monday night. The place wasn't too busy but had a great atmosphere. Not too ritzy but not a dump either, great place to relax and have a martini and listen to great music. I hope to see better bands occaisonally on the weekends but great acoustic and electric rock. Highly recomend!
Never fails to deliver
by teresathegreat1
I went to Blondies a few times several years ago, and went back this weekend. I was surprised how little it has changed, and that's the best news. I have never had anything less than a great time at Blondies.
The DJ is always spinning something fun to dance to. The bar was crowded, and my slim cosmo was a hefty $11, but unlike most bars I got a refill pint along with my martini glass, so it was like two drinks in one. The crowd is young and cheerful and determined to have a good time. The staff is friendly, the bouncers are quick to act on any disputes, and the cover is a modest $5. It's not too posh and it's not too skanky - a nice comfortable let-your-hair-down let's-groove-tonight place.
- Pros: good music & martinis, fun crowd
- Cons: limited seating, small dance floor
saucy crowd, sensual music, smooth drinks
by catholicpagan
With the good looking group of City hipsters hanging in and out of Blondies you know you're a cool place. The beat of the music, if you don't sway and hop right into the action, go have a drink or two - you'll dance in the crazy mix. Girls' night out, Oh yeah! Take your muddah! She be cool especially after a smooth martini takes her back to "the day."
I'm glad I didn't pass Blondie's

I?m a Dane who was going for dinner with some friends in a nearby restaurant, but they were late, so I decided to give my throat some liquid in the meantime.
I passed Blondie?s Bar & Grill, and when I looked in, I liked what I saw. When going in, I was met by an extremely friendly bartender, who at all time was aware of my half empty or half full glass?
All in all, Blondie?s has a great atmosphere and the prices are reasonable with a very good service.
Having been to a lot of bar?s here in Denmark, I?m glad I didn?t pass Blondie?s and will definitely be back if possible?
- Pros: All of the above
- Cons: A long way from home
Best Bar Experience
by mgarcia99
This place rocks. I have been there a few times and the last time was for Halloween and let me tell you this place was rocking. The drinks were good, fair price and the ambience is always great. I would recommend this place to everyone. Will definitely be back.
- Pros: Ambience, Service
- Cons: PARKING!!!!!!!!!
Crowdy dancing
by snodaisy
Very crowded on the weekends. Don't bother trying to get into the cramped smoking lounge/front deck. If you're not there by 9 you'll never get a convienent drag. Drinks are the standrad fare. So is everything else.
- Pros: drinks
- Cons: smoking section
fun place
by audreyjl
I don't go out in this neighbordhood too often but when I do we almost always end up here at some point in the night. I've been here when there's a band and also when it's just low key and empty and it's always fun. The cover's not too much and if you're able to get there early you can avoid it all together. The service is good and it's a nice atmosphere.
- Pros: music, atmosphere
- Cons: far away from my place
Just A Great Time!!
by teacher_having_fun
I went to Blondie's for the first time about a year and a half ago on a first date. I have to admit that at first I was a little unsure, but once we got in there and I heard the music and saw the dance floor I was hooked! Needless to say this was not intended to be an intimate first date, and if intimacy is what you're looking for you've picked the wrong bar. But if you're looking to dance, laugh, and just let yourself have a great time this is the spot! Since that first visit I have been back several times (I found that it's even better without a date), and I have to say that I have never been disappointed. I was just there about a week ago and as always the energy from the crowd and the music was amazing. It's a great place to go hang out with good friends and meet new ones. The martini's are good, and they don't make a bad margarita either! I love the crowd, the atomosphere, and the music. Bottom line, Blondie's is a great little spot!
- Pros: high energy, good music, $3 cover
Blondie's Isn't Worth It!
by aoxenhandler
A few months back a my friends and I went to Blondies for drinks. First we had to pay a $3.00 cover charge. The bar was over crowded and expensive. We sat down at the bar to order drinks. After we paid for our drinks the owner came over to us and Rudely asked one of the guys in our group to take off his hat. I guess there is a no hat policy at this bar, but the door guy Never told us this. The Owner of the bar is the most unfriendly woman I have ever encountered and has no interest in pleasing her customers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She told us that "she doubted the door guy never told us about the no hat policy" and if we were unhappy and wanted a refund, that we could put down the drinks we were drinking and get a refund and leave.
- Cons: bad customer service, overpriced drinks, over crowded
