The Blue Room

An absolute classic bar! I’ve been meaning to get here for years, and glad I finally did! Such amazing cocktails, service, and atmosphere! I will be back!

Step into The Blue Room, a legendary cocktail lounge that has been around since 1947. This classic dive bar offers an impressive selection of liquors and cold beers, along with an accommodating staff and an AMI Jukebox that adds to the ambiance. Make sure to bring cash, as this bar doesn't accept credit or debit cards, but the experience is well worth it. There is an ATM in the back. #TheBlueRoom #DiveBar #burbank #classiccocktaillounge

First time to experience this Burbank dive bar and I would be a regular here if I lived in the area. It’s like stepping into a mid-century modern movie set from the 1960’s. Everything is blue, the lighting, the seats. Drinks are not overly pricey. They do have a back patio if you are looking for that. Very clean and not crazy crowded on a Saturday. The bartenders and patrons and very nice and lively. That vintage neon sign out front sets the tone for the whole experience. I really had a great experience with my friends here. Fun times!

Went for drinks with friends. Super friendly staff, excellent service! New, fav place to hang when in Burbank! Gorgeous decor!

Cash only! There's an ATM inside in case you need it. We stopped by here to kill some time before we had to fly out. Great spot to chill inside where it's laid back and has AC. Restrooms were a bit of a tight space but it makes sense considering that this this dive bar is from the 1940s. Plenty of spots to sit but the tables and chairs can also be a bit of a tight space as well. There's a jukebox for music and a TV you can watch sports on. Drinks were fairly priced and strong enough to give a slight buzz before we headed out to the airport. Bartender was very friendly and told my husband some history of the the bar. They have live music during the weeknights, which is pretty cool. Stevie Wonder had performed here last year and this bar has been used in a few movies too. There is a parking lot in the back so two different entrances to get inside. It's worth checking out if you love dive bars. We'd come back again.

Came from out of town to visit cool bars for my birthday, got a fairly expensive Uber to check this bar out. Bartender seemed impatient and really lacking in customer service, just kinda rude. The biggest thing was on Google it says they’re open until 2am, we only had time for one drink before they called LAST CALL at midnight. Ended up ubering to another bar instead. Kinda just a big disappointment in the middle of bar hopping on my birthday.

Very cool and friendly spot to go after work for couple of drinks with coworkers and friends. Met some very interesting and good people to chat with. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a new spot

Great for yuppies who wanna get the dive experience without actually going to a dive. Make sure you know the bartender, and then they won't card you!

This is an absolute classic find! Comfy retro booths & chairs, nice big wood & brass bar, outdoor patio, free parking lot or on street, Tuesdays jazz/blues music w/open mic , reasonably priced cocktails, friendly staff, food from local eateries or occasional empanada guy in parking lot. ATM for CASH bar. Chill atmosphere! Blue Room Bar-site for several filming projects.

They should call this place The Aqua Room. It's a cool ivy covered building with actual parking and some neat vintage furniture inside. But that is where it ends. The cocktails they advertise on the sign are lackluster. The music is trite. The patrons are D-list all the way. I'm not sure what ownership is aiming for, but it's either got to be a dive or a snazzy cocktail joint with actual great cocktails and a waitstaff that actually takes showers. Like it is today - it's a relic on life support. Aqua is a shade of blue, I know. But aqua seats and pleather is a little much. Makes me want to puke up my poorly made cocktail.

I've been wanting to come to this place for years. But somehow I just never got around to it. I finally made it out this past Saturday. This place has everything I love in a bar ! Cozy booths, touch tunes "jukebox", friendly staff and great drinks. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Twinkly colorful lights everywhere. Whoever is in charge of decorations to do fantastic job! Note: This bar is CASH ONLY. If you don't have cash, don't worry. There is an ATM . But I advise to come with cash so that you don't have to pay the extra atm fee . You're also allowed to bring in outside food which I think is very convenient. The parking lot is small. We parked across the street at The habit and just walked over. No biggie.

Came here on a Thursday night and it was moderately busy. I like how cozy the booths and tables were. It's a small place, but we didn't have trouble getting a table. The drinks were very affordable, and the service was great. Parking is also easy since they have a small lot. Restrooms were tiny but clean at least. Cash only. They have ATMs inside.

This is a little secret place in Burbank called The Blue Room. Little cozy bar. You can bring in food and no drinks. The service is fabulous. John was fabulous and willing to share the story of The Blue Room. Jazz every Tuesday. This is a fun place. You must give this place a try if you visit Burbank.

Fantastic celebration goin' on tonight: it's the keyboardist Herman Jackson's birthday. What a turnout of patrons, friends and fellow musicians. Tonight's vocals and instrumentation was at another level. You could feel the electricity vibing in the air: mesmerizing, soul stirring, introspective, jubilant. Herman and his band were a tremendous musical vortex tonight: jazz classics, bossa nova, R&B. Dayuuum it was sho' am good tonight.

CLASSIC BLUE ROOM. The perfect place to go for live music on a Tuesday. I look forward to coming here to shake up the monotonous routine of Monday-Thursday living. Whenever I am in the mood for socializing and enjoying libations on a Tuesday I always come to Blue Room. There is couch seating which is comfortable but you have to come at the right time. CASH ONLY. The bartenders are dope and the drinks are reasonably priced. If you're in the mood for a classic dive bar you can do no better. If you're in the mood for something a bit lively, you get that here as well. It's usually always filled with down to earth people.

Such a cool place, great music, perfect ambiance, decent prices, the bartender was real nice and this place is such a vibe! A total gem that I want to gatekeep forever but just can't!! It's so cool here! Went for a bday drink and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, it is small- but hey totally worth waiting for a booth or chair to hang in for a bit :) I'd recommend 10/10.

came here last second after work with some of my friends to celebrate my birthday went next-door for food and that place was just as good. I like the no-frills about this place and everyone seems to be pretty cool and friendly. Highly recommend this place if you were looking for something chill for a big group

I love finding hidden, moody bars with a good liquor selection inside of industrial meat freezers.

Step back in time to the groovy early 60's while sipping a classic cocktail. You'll hear Sinatra and Co. swingin' it on the jukebox as you relax on the puffy blue leather lounge furniture. Of course I had to get a Martini. It was great. Pretty classy & casual with just the right touch of divey-ness.

. No music. Dirty restrooms. Weak drink. Crappy parking. Crappy even for dive bars. Don't waste your time.

I actually came here for the first time a couple years ago and thought it was alright, but come to find out it's just a big clique (bartenders included). You won't need to be ID'd if you know the bartender or if you're friends with someone who knows the bartender. I heard the girl go "so this is her first time here" to the bartender (regarding her friend) and he set them up well. NO ID's checked, at all. I came in with my ID and my boyfriend got his wallet stolen so he only had a picture, and the bartender (who's probably even younger than us) lectured us loudly on all the fines, how he could lose his livelihood, etc. and had me in tears when I got outside. I tried bringing up the girls and he went "well I know them," and I tried explaining he didn't know BOTH of them but it was a lost cause. He mentioned to us that they just had a training about how important checking ID's was but like...you didn't check the pretty girl's ID because you know her friend? It's just a crowd of people who know each other, so truly good for them. Anyone who's an outsider, you'll absolutely feel like one when you get there if you've never been before and you're not going with a seasoned blue room regular. Boyfriend described his first time here as "this place can't decide if it wants to be a dive bar or a cocktail bar. It's just a place for douchebags." So. Just be cautious and prepared when you go is all.

Cash only! There's an ATM inside in case you need it. We stopped by here to kill some time before we had to fly out. Great spot to chill inside where it's laid back and has AC.

The Blue Room Bar is an absolute gem! From the perfect drinks to the outstanding customer service, every detail was top-notch. The strong drinks were crafted to perfection. Discovering that this business has been family-owned since 1947 added a special charm. The relaxing and happy vibe, combined with comfortable seating, made my experience truly enjoyable. I can't wait to return to this fantastic establishment. Tony has provided amazing service. He made my husband and I feel welcome. Thank you

Super low key gem vintage bar! Not too many of these type of bars left. Cash only but they have an atm, afortable prices and great service. Gave me some "Paddy's Pub" vibes from it's always sunny in Philadelphia. The aqua blue lounge cushion seatings is one of a kind. You gotta check it out, hope this place stays open for a long time to come.

Great little spot, fair prices, service with quick, didn't have to wait at offer our drinks. Went around the holidays so it had a very cool inviting ambience. Cash only!

The Blue Room is a meeting place, that is half way point between a friend and my home, so we decided to meet here. With its small interior, blue neon lights, stiff drinks, jukebox and a few TVs with sports playing ...it was a decent dive bar to grab a cocktail and girl talk. Noise level is minimal. My friend and I could actually hear each other talk here. Ever been to that kind of bar?!? Anyhow... Small, free parking lot, decent small restroom and not overly crowded... No food served here, my friend ordered food from next door and they delivered. I'd pop in here again for a drink or two. Stay safe and healthy (mind, body and soul) Yelping out there :)

I was accompanying my friend and only got a water but the bartender (in the pic) made sure to come by and refill my water multiple times. He even brought us pretzels I'm so used to being ignored when I'm not buying drinks so this definitely won me over lol thank u!! The ambience was chill and you can tell everyone was minding their own business and having a good time with friends :) the crowd is a bit older but in this case I preferred that haha since I was able to catch up and have a nice conversation with my friend! It's a nice sit down spot for sure they also have an atm in the back!

If you're looking for your new favorite dive bar in Burbank, look no further! Love the ambiance of this place, it's super retro and has been featured in many movies (look it up!). They have a TouchTunes jukebox, so you can play all of your favorite songs and darts if you get bored. There's also an outdoor patio in the back. You can bring your drink and have a smoke, too! If you're planning on stopping by, keep your credit cards at home because it's cash only!

We loved it! Very cool dive bar in Burbank! Honest prices, good music, great service and fantastic vibe.

Me and my wife were on a date a s this was a spot I found in Burbank. The area is super clean and safe. Probably the safest I've felt and I'm from LA. When you get inside the bar it's pretty chill. Very low key and music isn't blaring loud so you and your friends can atleast hear each other talking. The service was great here the bartender was super nice helped us select a drink for the night. The inside of the bar is very vintage super clean. Has those 1950's seats in teal and a few booths you and your group can relax in. Super chill bar and I was told they have live jazz nights on Tuesday night. We will be back really liked this place.

Blue room looks just like the other reviews small, clean, classy. John said this place has been here since the 40s, John was great, I like sweet drinks and he delivered with these two. I loved the red bashful and the raspberry cosmopolitan was delicious. Beware they only take cash here but they have an ATM. Would come again.

Est. 1947- Come here with respect or don't come here at all I say! This is old school before the school. Definitely one of the coolest bar vibes around. It's all about the booze and the booths. No food, cash only and some of the best priced drinks in town. Tony and Glen hold down the bar with expertise in this family owned neighborhood gem. If you haven't had a drink at The Blue Room, then you haven't really experienced bar culture.

Located in a nice area in Burbank, this bar is cozy and fun. Though a dive bar, it's got a pretty ambiance. The lighting is very nice, and It's definitely blue inside. The bartenders are very friendly and there's a patio on the outside that accommodates smokers, this is another reason why I will return. Plenty of free private parking available. Prices are also not too bad $7-9 for cocktails. Cons: CASH ONLY No Beer on Tap Drinks are okay quality.

The Blue room is a retro hip spot to enjoy a drink with friends. They let you bring food in, which is the BEST! I really enjoyed the chill atmosphere and cozy booths. I don't drink, but my friends got drinks and were happy. Of course the blue lighting is their iconic ambiance. Highly recommend.

Live Music Tuesdays here are FIRE. Went here for birthday drinks with a group of friends for their live music Tuesday, and lots of us want to come back. Who's There: Before 8:30, it was just a handful of locals. This place definitely has that local, Cheers-type vibe. But after that, the place was pretty full from the bar to the booths and tables in between. It's a nice mix of people - younger, older, pretty casual and relaxed, everyone looked like they were having a great time. What to Get: It's a drinks-only kinda house, but you can bring your own food. On their live music Tuesdays, there's a taco stand parked right outside (or the wonderful El Tapatio is always footsteps away). Inside it's just beer (bottles, not tap) and a full bar for cocktails. Our group enjoyed our drinks (Old Fashioneds, Daiquiris, Pina Coladas). Service: You're in good hands here; even when it got super busy, their staff was still making rounds and checking up on people. Getting There: Several bus stops nearby, and a small free customers-only parking lot tucked in the back and around the corner. Miscellanywho: It's a great local dive bar, great for a quick post-work drink, some terrific live music, or a catch-up with the neighborhood.

Smoking the place reeks and now that John is gone not the same! It's best around Christmas

Excellent service, great live music on Tuesday nights, food is often outside with a vendor, parking is a little hard, but worth it.

Amazing vibe, especially on the open mic nights. Drinks are good and service is always welcoming and fun.

Nice and cozy place we enjoyed our time there, nice staff very welcoming, music and good drinks

Great environment, hole in the wall but dark and quaint.. perfect place to relax.. drinks are pretty stiff so mixologist has a heavy hand for sure, which not complaining very happy actually

too much warm atmosphere. amazing service. and food is good too. i enjoyed my evening

No food but great vibe. Fun place with nice staff and so blue so blue You can bring in food from other places.

Great atmosphere, sense of community, folks respect your space, price, music.... I have selected it as a spot I recommend.

Distrustful bartenders. I can't believe they even have jobs at this moment. I left crying and the owner was sorry for my language, DICK. Wish I could leave a 0 star.

A local hotspot. Dark grunge atmosphere. The bartender was attentive and friendly. Here's a tip, if you're looking for The Blue Room Special; ask Tony for "The Key Lime Pie Martini". It is delicious. Sweet crumbles of Graham cracker dust circles the rim. *chefs kiss

Great staff and vibe. Seems like a local place. Hard to find in Hollywood. Definitely going back

One of my favorite spots in LA. The Blue Room has been a staple for 60ish years. It has retained that vibe. Great blue leather booths. A TV or two for watching games. Solid staff. Parking lot. All the boxes are ticked. Tuesday night is jazz night too.

On a scale from 1-5, 5 being Excellent & 1 being Poor... Ambiance: 5; Service: 5+(a shout out to Matt, Leonard & Johnny) Food: Though they don't prepare & serve food, there's a food truck in their parking lot that serves $3 tacos, made-on-the-spot nachos & chicken wings (have yet to try, but EVERYONE says they're the BEST) & the food truck lady delivers your food to you IN the bar, I give Blue Room a 5!!

This is such a fun little bar tucked away on San Fernando Burbank and Glendale boarder. The room is literally blue light and seats. They do have live music on certain days but I'm not sure which. I heard Tuesday is great Jazz night. The workers are also super nice and attentive. No food. It is also CASH only. Parking is street and they have a few parking spots allocated to their bar on the side.

Just a regular dive bar with bad service. The ambiance isn't that great, restrooms can be cleaner. I had an encounter walking in restroom and another bar goer doing drugs inside. Overall experience not that great. Needless to say I've found better places then here.

and just like that it's 2022 and 12 years later we are squished into blue leather sipping martinis in the middle of the day. Just as we like it. Another great stop on our memory lane tour.

Went there couple of days ago, there was no bartender waited for 10 minutes all of a sudden a short guy came out of restroom drying his hands on his pants. Had 2 beers asked for bill the guy wanted to charge me triple (6 beers) I believe he was high on drugs, watch for shorty he is a crook. Btw saw 2 under age girls seating on the corner having drinks. Will never go back there ever.

Good times at this place!! Lounge, good music, cocktails interesting eclectic people. Atmosphere is so pleasant...love it!

Stopped in for a drink about a week ago and fell in love. Loved the old school look and vibe. Older crowd, which I liked because I'm older. :) Knocked off a star because there's no food and they only accept cash. That said, they have an ATM machine and you can order food and have it delivered there. And if you're into it, they have a smoking area outside. Oh and please put some WD-40 on the front door. Every time someone enters it makes you flinch.

I was exploring the area and Waze took me in this direction. The neon blue sign outside was intriguing, alluring, plus there was available parking. Free parking lot ftw. Passing through the back patio, a de facto smoking area, the Blue Room is beyond a doorway. The bar area is dimly lit, but just enough to catch shades of turquoise in the bar countertop, throughout the seating upholstery and a touch more neon glow from above. After settling in a spot at the bar, a friendly bartender greeted me. If I remember correctly, a Tito's & tonic was only $6.50. Other observations: - Clean & organized bar station and tables - Dartboard & jukebox - Flatscreen tv's: One playing a sporty event and another playing Music Choice on the classic hip hop channel. - Beer list of crafty options along with the usual fizzy yellow national brands. The vintage cash register was something else I noticed, and it really tied the room together. It was also a reminder that this is a cash only bar with an available ATM nearby. No kitchen on site, but there are food options within walking distance. I would stop by if I was in the area again.

Mellow ambiance, decent drink, good prices. Lots of groups hanging out, not so much of a romantic scene but still a nice spot.

Great prices on drinks a mix of young and older drowned awesome jukebox and awesome play room upstairs with two pool tables and dart board and shuffleboard table. Highly recommend to get away and have a good time.
