My personal experience was okay but my friend had their phone stolen (along with 2 others the same night) right out their pockets/purses. This seems to be a common occurrence dating back AT LEAST 2 weeks from now (8/21/24). I talked to 2 others that had the same thing happen to them but at an earlier date. No one else seems to be talking about this despite it being a prevalent problem.

How is it legal to own a place without having a working number to call for emergency assistance! Ridiculous!

The woman at the front desk is discriminatory, all the reviews about her are absolutely true. There’s so much evidence of her being racist/rude and I hope she gets the help she needs. I hope eventually someone can hold her accountable for her actions. Someone like her should not be working at a space made for LGBTQA+ members

he come here multiple times and the asian lady that is always in front always has a very big attitude. and today she refused me entry for “throwing my card” when i put it on the counter. she’s straight up rude and i do no recommend, they need to rethink their staff cussing me out and all. she wouldn’t of gave me that attitude out of the business place, she’d learn real quick. 😅

The bathrooms… these are the bathrooms they probably more than likely have down in hell. I there were 3 types of bathrooms, the ladies, mens, and unisex yet there were men and women going and coming from whichever restroom… definitely not. Also once I finally was able to get in a restroom (I had used the women’s restroom and the unisex one) THEY WERE HORRIBLE, groups coming out a single stall, piss all over the WALLS and toilet, vomit in the sinks! I literally gagged so hard cuz I kept TOUCHING some strangers piss tryna get some same toilet paper because yes, the dispenser also had piss all over it. I popped a squat and washed my hands 5 times, this was my second time coming here… never again 🙂 I'd find better sanctuary pissing in the middle of the street than in these damn restrooms.

Lots of bad remixes and incredibly rude staff. It always seems like they’re just always trying to double or overcharge you. The same rude lady is always at the front and I know this isn’t the first complaint she has gotten about her behavior specifically. Lady needs to go if she hates her job so badly she feels the need to be rude to everyone who walks in no matter how friendly you are

If I could give this place a 0 I would. My friends and I came at opening. It is +18 but if you’re under 21 they will mark both your hands with a permanent marker with an X. So my friends and I finally got in but we went to take a restroom break and we washed our hands not even 5 minutes after coming out the security guard flashed the light in my friend face and said we had to leave because her X is Faded away. We weren’t even there for 20 minutes! He said it was because”his manger seen us on camera trying to take off our X” even though we kept trying to explain that we used the restroom and had to wash our hands so of course it’s fading. So I asked to speak to the manager he rushed us to the front, walked us pass the manager and walked us outside So we couldn’t speak to her, Then had us talking to someone that couldn’t even fix the issue. That man continued to say how strict they are about people under the age of 21, but why not give out wrist band instead of a big marker on your hand that can fade away from three hand washes. They refused to let us speak to the manger. They refused to give us a refund and they refused to let us back in. The lady in the front that everyone is talking about in the reviews IS THE MANAGER .Be careful when you come here because they will find every little Reason to kick you out ESPECIALLY if you’re under 21. Every time I talked about the reviews to them they laughed at me LIKE I WAS CRAZY but those reviews are true! Definitely find another club to go to that’s worth it.

My friends and I love this place for its atmosphere and good music. We always come here whenever we’re all back together, and it’s always a fun time. The whole place is very accepting, everyone there is there to have a good time!I was just hoping Theres a way to get in touch with management, or someone because the phone number doesn’t work.

Bartenders are RUDE. Dance floor is packed with straight people/couples. A older couple forcefully tried taking my female cousin by pulling her arm and kept following us till we told them to STOP. Floor gets wet and no one cares. Very crowded so be careful with your drinks and people bumping into you.
I Miss you.
01:28 04 Feb 24
They don’t care for lgbt members, it’s more for straight couples now, atmosphere not worth 30+$ smells like vomit, it’s a very tight and small dance floor everyone (staff, bouncers) will grab your body part, upcharge you and it’s 21+If ur 18 they will have you pay to enter then they will kick you out.Drinks are 17$ startingYour stuff will get stolen by staff so be careful

This place is supposed to be inclusive and it’s NOT! My boyfriend and I were asked to leave because my boyfriend could not bring in his bottle of water that he needs! His water contains pink salt so he can stay hydrated and not overheat. He brings it with him everywhere with no problem! The owner of the place even cussed us out and told us to leave after we told them they are going against federal law by denying my disabled boyfriend’s accommodations. DO NOT GO. They are rude and very disrespectful.

They literally waited on us to pay for them to kick us out just because one of my friends was too drunk. That lady in the front was so rude and she put us out of the line after we paid and she refused to give us a refund

Very rude staff. They said they don’t take cashapp cards but they didn’t say anything about cash and that lady in the front kept moving the line while we ware right next to her waiting to be assisted I felt like she just ignored us. my friend had to howl we got cash to pay for her to assist us. When we paid I already was so offended. I shouldn’t have done it but I decided to approach her just to ask why she didn’t say anything about cash payments and got us waiting for so long. she then called security on me and they kicked me out without giving me my money back. That’s not the way you’re supposed to assist people if you don’t like dealing with people lady you’d better quit. Shout out to the security guard who didn’t want to kick me out but I know it’s part of his job listen to that lady in the front

Yes, there’s a cover but it’s not terrible. I love the vibe here and everyone is so fun and nice. I always have a great time and honestly they play the best music here -it’s an awesome mix. It is very hype and can get crowded, but you’re having so much fun you don’t notice (and you can always go upstairs to take a break)

I was holding a friends drink for a few mins while they used the restroom and one of the bouncers flashed a light in my face then took the drink from my hand and marked a red line across my hand and kicked me out. I was telling him I was holding the drink for my friend and gave me an attitude to get out.

Very trashy establishment. The security at the front is very unprofessional and starts fights with patrons. Also the interior is very dirty and the bathrooms are disgusting. There are better bars and clubs in the area, I recommend skipping this place.

As others have mentioned, this place USED to be fun. I've gone back hoping to experience those good times again but this place is not it anymore. Staff at the front are soooooooo rude. They act like they're doing you a favor by letting you in. This place has gotten super scammy! This is not a safe, fun place anymore. Its downright dangerous. They steal.

I’m 22 I verified the security my ID. That’s good they verify age outside before you go in the bar. But when you enter there’s a lady cashier and she charged me $15 for the entrance. The problem is the lady didn’t care when I said I’m 22 and I said “here’s my ID” and she said “I don’t care”.Why you charged me $15 without reading my ID and then the website reviews said 21+ are $8 entry fee?Overcharge is a joke. They just want steal money and not doing good customer service.The place inside it was ok. But after the experience with the cashier Never Coming Back Here Again and Never Receive My Business Again 😔

Trashy, dirty, ugly place and the clientele matches. Blur has seen its better days, it’s time to shut it down and turn it into something new. The same rude woman is always at the entrance since her family owns the place, and it’s always such an unpleasant exchange with her. Luckily the other big nightclub which is a 2 minute walk from here was recently renovated and reopened to the public so I won’t ever come back here again! This place is full of kids under 21 and I think that clientele is the only way they might survive.*it’s true what the other reviews mention, they love to make people form a line outside but then you’ll often get inside to find it empty.

Has gone downhill since 2017...still charging a cover to enter and sometimes they don't let people inside and form a line outside to make it seems like it is poppin inside but when you finally get to go in the whole floor is empty. Music's not great in variety either, and if you lose your belongings here don't bother calling or checking back because they either won't reply or will just disregard you altogether.

Love coming here for the music the dj plays. The dj mixes it up with different types of music, like hip hop, dance, latin music like Bad Bunny and the music that’s hot and popular old and new. Also the drinks are good and strong…also not expensive like at the other bars in Montrose.

The rudest people at the front! I had paid and was dancing with my friends. I got out to get another friend and they told me to wait in line again. I did and by the time I got in, they told me I wasn’t allowed. I had already paid and they were denying entrance to me and my friend… I was trying to get in to get my friends and they kicked me out….the wouldn’t listen to anything. The worst rudest people ever!

When me and my friends first started going to this place was absolutely great, my birthday was amazing they had the best songs which was November 2021.After that we’ve been a total of four times and every time we go it is getting worse. I’m not sure who does the music now but it can’t be the same person, also the last three times we’ve been this one security guy has followed us around the entire time making the night even worse the reason behind that I have no idea. If their music would just get better and go back to how it was it would be amazing but now they only want to play one genre of music. We loved going to this place and would only go here, but we don’t even think about coming anymore..

I came with friend from out of town and we ordered drinks from the main bar by the entrance. Out bartender was a Hispanic guy with long hair. We paid separately and tipped heavily as well. We made a second round to the same person. “ are you going to tip me now” was his response before one of us even made an order for a drink. We were appalled and disgusted with that remark because we had tipped well. We are servers and believe in fair tip. It is sad that they have this quick statement to people who they believe didn’t tip. He ignored us and didn’t serve us after that! We talked to the manager who was at the time taking club entrance fees and she said she didn’t have time because it was busy. It is apparent that she knows about what they are doing and didn’t want to give us an explanation. As two member of the food industry we know it’s our job to please our customers and will never dare to ask for a tip before we even do our job. Aside from that I witnessed them not complaining with TABC Policy and not washing nor rinsing they’re shakers after every drink they made. Scooping ice using the actual drink cup as opposed to using a scoop. So for one not complying with TABC and then asking for a tip prior to ordering. Come now…. Do better. Manger needs to step up and regulate appropriately.

I went for my friend's birthday. We had a bunch of fun. The DJ was good and the drinks were good. Blur is a mixture of mostly the LGBT group. The age group is mostly late teens to early 20's. Parking is a pain. It's street parking and it gets packed fast. They had $10 parking in front but that was packed to capacity.When we first arrived around midnight, the club had a long line but inside wasn't that crowded. Ten minutes later it was stuffed. We were downstairs by the chairs they have along the walls. This is definitely a place to dance your heart out. The bathrooms need a lot of help. First they need more toilets, second they need someone to clean it on occasion. I'm just grateful one exists. 🙏Cover was $10 and drink prices were reasonable. I didn't open a tab. I paid and signed for each drink. Ultimately, it's a fun place to dance.

If you wanted hip hop music to dance to but be surrounded by sweaty people in a tight tight space that is a safety hazard, then all means, go here. However, be careful with the way they charge you for drinks. They will gladly swipe that card multiple times for the same drinks claiming that their "system" is delayed and that all the previous swiped didn't go through. They charged me 5x for the same amount because of this ish. Money is not an issue for me but integrity is. Therefore, I am spending my money at JR and other bars around.

I would’ve gave it a 5 star if they had a better bartender(one closer to the entrance)) and better people controlling the front .Other then there rude .. nosey staff the club It’s self is wonderful the ppl who go there are very friendly try having friendly conversations w/ you everyone seems to always have a good time ! There was no drama and there dj did a good job on the music !! If u like the oldies hip hop go here !!! I would go back again . It’s just there staff.

We waited in line and when we got to the front and asked for the cover charge we decided to go across the street for a while. Upon returning, they denied us entry because we "took too long to throw out our water" despite not having any issues with it previously.We were excited to dance there and came from across the city. All-n-all the situation was disappointing and i wouldn't recommend it. The bar across the street had a much better vibe.

If you want the dance, you'll do plenty of that here. The bar caters to the young, so the drinks are subpar and the cups are plastic. However, they have a balcony where you can sit and look and a backyard style longe area to rest those dancing feet.
