Blue Lagoon Club — Restaurant in Houston

Heard You Were Looking for the "Blue" in Blue Lagoon? Honey, It's the Mood Lighting (and Maybe That Stain) So, you've stumbled upon whispers of Houston's legendary Blue Lagoon, eh? Let me tell you, this ain't no tropical paradise, unless your idea of paradise involves questionable decisions, questionable puddles, and characters who definitely weren't "vetted at the door." And that, my friends, is why we love it. Forget your artisanal cocktails and hushed conversations. The Blue Lagoon on Witte Road is where pretension goes to die a slow, sticky death, probably in the corner by that flickering neon sign that's been trying to spell "BEER" correctly since '87. What to Expect (Bless Your Heart): Ambiance? Oh, it's got it. Think "your weird uncle's basement after a three-day bender, but with more endearing graffiti." The lighting is perpetually set to "last call," even at 3 PM. Every scuff on the floor, every tear in the pleather, tells a story – probably one involving a spilled Lone Star and a spirited debate about the Astros. The Clientele: A glorious gumbo of Houston. You've got your grizzled regulars who've been occupying the same barstool since the Bush (the first one) administration, a few bewildered-but-game newcomers, and someone who might just offer you a life-changing (or at least life-altering) piece of advice scrawled on a napkin. Remember the sign: "No Pissy Attitudes." They mean it. Mostly. The Drinks: Don't come here asking for a lavender-infused-whatever-the-hell. This is a "whiskey and… uh… more whiskey" kind of joint. The beer is cold, the pours are generous (because the bartender's probably seen some things and figures you have too), and if you squint, that generic vodka could be top shelf. It's all about perspective. The Jukebox: A glorious symphony of questionable taste and timeless classics. One minute you're headbanging to AC/DC, the next you're misty-eyed to a Patsy Cline deep cut you didn't know you needed. Don't like the current selection? That's what your quarters are for, champ. That Patio: Where conversations get real, smoke hangs thick (sometimes it's just the BBQ from next door, sometimes it's existential dread), and friendships are forged in the humid Houston night. Look, the Blue Lagoon isn't trying to be anything it's not. It's a tried-and-true, no-frills, seen-it-all Houston dive. It's where you go when you want a drink without a side of judgment (unless you order something too complicated). It's got character, dammit. And maybe a slight aroma of mystery. So, if you're looking for an "experience," and you're not afraid of a little… patina… then venture forth to the Blue Lagoon. Just wipe your feet on the way out. Or don't. Pretty sure no one...

My friend and I had been working a 12 hour day. We had been cleaning a house getting it ready for the market. We looked for a small bar to have a beer. We walked in tired but feeling good and accomplished. The tall man behind the bar was rude and disrespectful. We were trying to get our thoughts together and he got attitude when we did not order the second we sat down. We were looking for a place that was not too fancy because of the way we were dressed and looked. This place seemed perfect. We have both been in the service industry as bartenders, my friend works as a bartender down town still. So we are really good tippers and know how the industry works, why be such a tool? He had no customers. I looked at my friend and jokingly said, this place looks ghetto enough, (it is a hole in the wall) and from across the bar He says, "ya want to get robbed I'll rob you." We looked at each other, looked at him. I said let's get out of here. Then he continued to bash us as we walked out the door, he called us a couple of drunks off the street. I gave them one star for saving me money and getting me home sooner. If you want to be judged and talked down to you may...

Horrible - this place has been here for years and previously gave a friendly cheers vibe but I'm not sure if it's a new owner or if the older lady is a new bartender there but she is nothing like the previous staff. She didn't even speak to start, had an attitude didn't smile once and will definitely hurt business. Smh she just made it akward for no reason. I have come to this location for years and after her rudeness I'll...
