Great space with four separate rooms: pool room, bar, dj space, and live bands. Good to go watch music and play music. Friendly and fast staff.

Something for everyone here! Pinball, claw machine, pool, live bands, and dance floor with DJ. Rarely a cover charge unless its to see local bands. They take card and cash, but no tabs! Bar seating is also limited.

Dive Bar, dance club, concert venue. Killer spot to hang out. A few jerk bartenders (the dudes) but more than made up for by the Tattoo'ed Valkyrie who ended up taking care of us. Made some great memories.

First time had a good time got to see some bands play sleeping brass is so good look forward to going back

Cool & safe bar, would be intoxc here again. appreciate it for a intresting friday night f

I've never bothered trying to get food here, but for drinks and local punk and metal shows this is the spot! Also great for LGBT themed events!

Nice bar. Good people and they have a small stage and area for live music

Love this place, food is so good, restaurant is clean, amazing customer service, and the food has a lot of flavor. Thank you.

Awesome party spot. With DJs and live shows. You should check it out.

Nice vibes friendly staff would come here without a doubt again!

Well, it’s definitely a college student bar, but the staff was kind and friendly as heck. If you’re looking for a spot to dance with your group of friends then this is absolutely the place for you. Music is great and also another lgbtq+, gay-friendly bar.

When I'm in Santa Cruz I have to stop at this place! Definitely not what you call a fancy bar, and I love it that way. Great prices, good vibes, & great people! I can drink and dance the night away with absolutely no worries here, Blue lagoon I'll see you soon!

LOVE the blue. $5 drinks from the tap and well until 9pm. Two free pool tables and usually a concert in the back room.

Love this bar. The bartenders are all amazing. My only criticism is that it’s the straightest gay bar I’ve ever been to. Would love a proper gay bar in SC. Loads of potential. Not gay enough.

Back in the 90s it was a wonderful,fun warm,inviting place. Today it's dark, bleak and in despair. I ordered Kahlua cream out of cream.

Update: I am not sure who was managing last night but there many issues. 1) the sound guy fried the bands amp. 2) they stopped doing tickets sales even though it was a full house. The bands was only laid $17 dollars each.... Awesome time! Glad this place sticks to the basic principles. Great vibes! Looking for7171ward to coming here again.

Some girls spilled my best friends drink while she was in the restroom and the bartenders blamed my friend and said that we’re cut off. I told them politely if my friend could get a new one and they said. “no you’re cut off”& took a picture of me! My friend left a tip and we were being nice.They treated us very badly probably cause we were the only latinos there and they didn’t treat the other people that way the ones that dropped my friends drink. Never coming back worse experience at a bar.

I was attacked in the dance area by a group of young women taking a video of it and for whatever reason I was the one that got removed. I used to go there all the time but I won't be going back. I don't feel safe there anymore.
