I found the Blu lounge on Google Maps when I was looking for a bar to get a drink at after a concert I attended in the city. The bar staff was friendly and made me feel welcomed. I loved listening to the live music (this was a Friday night). And the view of the city looking out from the 23rd floor, where the lounge was located, was beautiful. The entrance is through the Pfister Hotel. And up the elevator to the 23rd floor.
I was a bit confused at first of the location for the lounge because I could not see signs outside of the hotel for it. But I walked here at night and might have missed a sign outside.
I recommend going to Blu. I enjoyed hanging out and listening to live music here. I hope that I will visit again.

I need to be honest, I went here Thursday night of Bastille Days. The place was pretty empty, and the service was incredibly slow. It probably took 20+ minutes to get our drink. The server did make up for it by bringing us some popcorn, and apologizing profusely, we weren’t in a rush so it wasn’t a big deal. But then when it came time to run our credit card, they didn’t pick up the card for another 20 minutes or more. What should have been a “quick drink” ended up taking 1.5 hours, because of the slow service.

I took my daughter-in-law to Blu at Pfister for Victorian tea. We each enjoyed one pot of tea from a selection of 15 different teas. We had 3 layers of food to enjoy, savory and sweet including scones, cucumber sandwiches, salmon and crab, turkey, pesto, red pepper along with various desserts with chocolate, fruit. We definitely needed to go boxes! Enjoyed the great views of the city and great service. We also each ordered a mimosa too!

A perfect spot if you’re looking for a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is calm and lounge-like, with great music, delicious cocktails, attentive service, and beautiful views of the city. It never felt crowded or busy, which made the experience even better. If you’re staying at The Pfister Hotel or just visiting the area, this bar is definitely worth checking out
