Blue Cue — Restaurant in Sacramento

I came to blue cue for the first time this past Friday 4/26 to celebrate a former colleagues new job. There was one bartender named Lisa who was working the bar by herself. For this reason we all cut her some slack on the fact that her service was pretty slow. I had been there for about 2.5 hours with no issues aside from slow service because Lisa kept running to the back for a good 5 minutes after every patron she served. Despite all that I still gave her a $10 tip when I closed out my tab. It was AFTER I closed out when the real problem occurred. I walked across the bar to invite a friend outside with us for a smoke break and when I turned around I was being verbally assaulted by a "regular" who I had zero interactions with prior to this. I attempted to diffuse this situation by continuing my course outside and ignoring her belligerent tirade. That's when she decides to follow me outside and continue yelling belligerently. I decided to walk away from her AGAIN and went back inside. That's when she decided to go after another girl in our group who was outside and had to be physically blocked by my boyfriend because the bouncers were no where to be found. Our group makes their way back inside and my boyfriend is STILL blocking her from attacking people and she even swung at my boyfriend. Everybody is trying to calm this drunk "regular" down and that's when the bartender, Lisa, finally decided to step in and escort this girl outside. After that, everything was good! Up until the point the bouncer decides to show up and kick me, my boyfriend and the two other people this regular was attacking out of Blue Cue. That's when I looked over and see that this "regular" was not only allowed back inside but is standing behind the bar with the bartender, Lisa. At this point I was so over this situation, I decided to just leave. But I want management to know what happened and I also want them to know that the staff did nothing to protect me or my boyfriend from being attached and appeared to even side with the attacker. I won't be returning to Blue Cue, ever and they will never have my business again due to how poorly this situation was handled. If blue cue wants to continue to cater to their drunk regulars who try to start fights with people who were minding their own business then good luck with that...

Let me say I have been coming to & patronizing Blue Cue since St. Patrick's Day 2013. Six years. But the last time I was here was a bit disturbing. Hoping it was just a bad day. To start they were actually doing pat down searches. At only 8:00. On a Thursday! Then the guard searching me allowed two guys to walk right in without searching them. And when I asked him why they did not have to get searched, the guard told me he knows them. Whatever. Later, another security guard, a Mexican guy, approached me & started taking to me in Spanish. I am not Hispanic & do not look it in the slightest. I told him No Hablo Espanol, and he just kept talking. Each time I said No Hablo Espanol, he got more & more aggressive, continuing to speak to me in Spanish. To the point he sounded borderline hostile. So I walked away, and he followed me. I finally turned around and asked him for his Jefe, his boss. Then he turned around & left me alone. I really hope these are isolated incidents. Otherwise I may be not be returning. Hopefully you will not lose this customer of more...

I was excited about this place since Reddit recommend it for Bears fans. The redditors were not wrong but the place left a seriously sour taste in my mouth.

As a tequila drinker the very first thing I did was ask the barkeep what a double patron silver is at this establishment and I was told 14. Fourteen dollars is about right for a place like this and I have never paid more than 21 for a double at any primo places I’ve visited.

So to my surprise I was stunned to see a double patron charged at $26! Not only was I surprised about the tequila, I was stunned when they charged a draft Coors Light as a “premium beer”, say what!!!?? I challenged the check but was met with a “meh” and I didn’t want to make a fuss since I just wanted to finish watching the game.

I left the bartender a good tip regardless but for gosh sakes if you’re going to charge prices like this and identify Coors light as a “premium beer” maybe you should consider rebranding, relocating, and hiring a chef for a menu that warrants the prices...
