Blue Gene's — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

Bartender with black bob and bangs is very, very rude. I love this bar, come here for karaoke often and haven't had to deal with her before. But she made my friends birthday extremely uncomfortable, treated us like we were drunk and incoherent (most of us are sober, and I am pregnant 🤰) and our first interaction with her was her snatching drinks out of 2 of our party members hands and yelling at them for bringing them in (they had no idea it wasn't allowed, they have never been to this bar before, the bottles were almost empty from a previous dinner, and the bouncer let them in with them. They were not trying to cause any issues, and simply did not realize they had them still.) She could have just told us to throw them away, avoided physical contact, and we wouldn't have felt uncomfortable. Not to mention, one of our party members just bought a round of 15 shots for our party, so we were obviously there to spend $$$. She then continued to push us out of a table that we were told to sit at for our friends birthday (I guess there was also another birthday this night, and we were mistakenly seated there by another bartender) We would have moved if we were asked nicely or told that was not for us, but she basically pulled one of our party members to the side and lectured him about us being there and bringing drinks in, again after already physically and aggressively taking them from our hands. Half of our party left because they felt uncomfortable, and the rest of us stayed for a while but tried to avoid her at the bar at all costs. It basically ruined our friends birthday, and she is ALWAYS going to Blue Genes to support.

Idk, probably the weirdest bar experience I have had. Love this place, everyone else is a gem. She ruined the vibes for almost everyone and made half of our group feel like crooks.

Always love being served by Chase, though ❤️ And the other bartender on shift that night was awesome and very helpful, as we refused to be served by her the remainder of...

⚡️🚗☁️BACK INTO THE FUTURE!

I was invited by a friend to this place by a friend a year ago and it has just been a travel experience for me. Every time I walk into this magical place every Wednesday and Thursday, it's Karaoke with the most amazing groups of people/crowd who support and sing along.

There is a table in the front corner where friends who dress like they are from the 80s rock Era who sing their hearts out and give a hell of a show! Not only that, but they support other singers. Karaoke is fun because most times, they enter you into a raffle where you get to win tickets 🎟 to future shows in the year.

Enjoy the energy because it's not a dive bar, it's definitely a JIVE BAR! A bar full of people who love you for you regardless of who you are. A Unicorn? Come in! An Alien with blueskin? Come in! Etc... Join the party! They invite everyone who enjoys the company of everyone.

The energy is fun but the bartenders to the security is even better! They give you full attention regardless of the loudness of the speaker of the singers and they shake the mixer with love ❤️. Now that's a plus for me if it ain't for you. They all work together like Back in the future to bring another day in the future another better future for the customers and guest.

Everyday they have a different night or theme like Friday nights are RU Paul's sit down and watch party with local drags, Saturdays are normally decades night but this weekend is the 34th anniversary of SLUG MAG ANNIVERSARY PARTY!✨️A-AMAZING✨️

If you're ever in town to visit or stay in town Come down and sing a song or enjoy the watch party!

Remember the names ALEC, TED, CHASE, DAVID AND KATIE and most of all BRADY and TYLER the 🌟'S of Blue Gene's Karaoke 🎤 and the best weekday 🎶 Dj's Alex...

Upon entering I wasn't sure of what to expect. We were greeted by a very nice Hawaiian shirt clad bartender who was great at mixing drinks.

The atmosphere is best described as eclectic mixed with a pleasant fever dream of bar room necessities: a very nice pool table, various arcade games, and a wide selection of table top games that ensures the time you spend with friends is going to not only be strange, but delightful as well.

If you want to find a hidden gem with each part of it being a labor of love with a staff to match? This is the...
