Is it only me who hates the orange neon street-like lighting,the near darkness, the overrated food and the massive bill that follows it.
Some chav invasion also.Avoid.

Great place for cocktails. Downstairs is good - very cosy - and the restuarant isn't bad either.

Way to many chavs in Bluu but hopefully they will stay in there and not come over the road and ruin the likes of socio rehab.

If you want to have a girl's night out spoilt by surly waiters and letchy blokes in suits practising the world's dullest chat up lines...go for it! if not, try Socio across the road, much nicer!

Bluu is a great bar but much better during the day when you have the space to chill out or enjoy great food in relaxed atmosphere.

me and my bf love going 2 bluu, good atmosphere, but few pretentious ppl around!

I agree i wouldn't really go in on a weekend night its a bit chavvy and too busy. But if you venture into the bluu in the week its a much better night. The atmosphere is great, my friends and I came in for a meal the service was really good our waiter was very friendly and full of charm which i think makes the meal, the restaurant was quite busy for a tuesday night and he was the only person waiting on i watched him serve everyone with the same charisma as we had enjoyed chatting and joking with other customers. He sold me on that days special which was an assiete of fish it was beautiful but a bit small for the price. I've been in the catering business for some time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The same waiter served us later at the bar and servedus some sublime cocktails. I asked one of the bartenders what the name was of the waiter (i was going to ask him to work for me) she said he was the manager which i was suprised at because he seemed quite young but i can understand why. So go to bluu for a relaxed drink, the service rivals that of any high class establishment and the cocktails taste as good as socio (depending on who you get we got another round from someone else and they weren't half as good).

Very chavy and really doesnt fit with the rest of the Northern Quarter atmosphere and clientele. Seems to be one of those bars that you go to on your first time to the Northern Quarter and then never again! Much better to stick with Socio across the road!

Went in Blu for my birthday once and was made to feel like crap by the very rude bar maid. Having done bar work for a number of years I can understand how stressful it can be when the bar is busy.
The bar staff in there have to be the rudest I have experienced in my life and put a bit of a downer on a good night out.
I cannot understand why they make you queue behind a rope when the place is empty either.
A very up itself kind of place full of not very nice people. Go elsewhere in the northern quarter.

really nice place with good atmosphere and friendly staff

I had a fantastic time when i went to Bluu, some people may imply there is a few '' chavy'' people, but this i can assure you would be the case anywhere you would go!
It to me is an amazing thumbs up ! Thanks you Bluu for given such a great expierence !

bit of a chav hole - does a mean fish finder butty though

Great place for cocktails and drinks Downstairs is good and the restaurant meals are nice

Fantastic value with some classy girles last saturday. Very relaxing place for drinkies

will coop hearts bluu

AWFUL.

great looking cocktail menu but let down by clueless staff. each drink completely different. too many pint drinking shaved heads. Don t bother. Go to epernay, obsidian or room.

This bar used to be great but the Pitcher and piano plonkers have turned it into a bland chav-pit.

relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff, comfortable , best food i've had anywhere near manchester and great beer. Going back soon with 14 for a birthday, looking forward o it. oh, and very reasonable priced

great bar but much better during the day when you have the space chill and enjoy good food in relaxed atmosphere.

thoroughly recommended . nice place yo visit and great atmosphere

an excellent place to go, with always a bust crowd. never get any bother in there and also my 2 mates, the soul twins dj there on the 1st sat of every month so alsways decent tunes.

Bit chavvy bit overall friendly staff and worth a visit

quite agree with the general chavviness of Bluu (but only chavvie compared with the rest of the NQ!) and the music can be dull and repetitive most weekends - HOWEVER, I have found myself down there on a Friday a few times where the music was great (to call it eclectic is an understatement - it shouldn't work but it does!) mainly new indie stuff with a load of old stuff thrown in - it's good, give it another chance! I think the night is every 1st Friday and called something like "Oh Yeah? What's Normal?" - big thumbs up from me and a pleasant surprise - check it!

Has some nice food at least

Wasnt impressed at all. Pricey half filled glasses and terrible service. the toilets later in the eveing were a disgrace

Went in on a Wednesday afternoon. Food was terrible - uncooked falafels. Yuk. Won't be going again.

WENT ON BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY. SERVICE VERY POOR. FOOD TERRIBLE AND THE TOILETS WERE SMELLY AND DISGUSTING. I CERTAINLY WON'T BE GOING AGAIN.

The comment about the manager being charming and serving is obviously him writing it. As he wdnt be seen dead on the floor and making cocktails after, unless he wanted to get his dick wet while he stands their denying he has a gf. Most ignorant person you will ever meet, plus socio is much nicer as the recent managers ruined the bar and it's cocktails
