Last night Sarai and I checked out The Blue Room in Burbank. We arrived around 9:30 and, this being a Sunday evening, the bar was not too crowded and there was plenty of seating available. We were drinking Stoli and tonics.
The drinks were good and reasonably priced at $5.25. The decor here is nice, with lots of blue vinyl booths and chairs and blue lights. The waitress was attentive, stopping by our booth a couple times to ask if we needed new drinks and to bring us a cup of pretzels.
They have something called an Internet Jukebox which, despite having “Internet” right there in the name, I am unable to find much information about on the web so I don’t really know how it works. It basically looks like a computer in a jukebox cabinet with a touch screen and album cover scans. It boasts having 100,000 songs. I started at A and paged through to D and the selection looked pretty comprehensive.
They get kudos for the complete lack of beer company paraphernalia like the neon signs and mirrors that clutter up a lot of bars, but I really could have done without the big screen TV tuned to the Fox sports network, especially since they were showing a rodeo. Ugh. Overall though, the atmosphere was pretty nice. I liked it.
