What People Are Saying About Blue Cactus

In Short – Billiard tables and live music attract the after-work crowd, downtowners and late-night revelers, while Sunday's poetry open mic draws a quieter clique. Divided from the gaming and dancing action by the bar, tables and private booths offer a more secluded option for dinner or drinks. Aztec suns and mud sculptures punctuate colorful Southwest decor in the South American Latin bar where patrons dance to salsa music or enjoy Caribbean fare, like spicy jerked chicken wings.

Another bar completely ruined by it's management.

This bar was only good because of the great salsa crowd on the weekend. Now they brought in some crappy new dj, and got rid of the people who brought this place into the salsa scene. The dance floor was always sticky, and the bar staff (and servers too) were horribly slow and rude. The place always felt like it was at least 100 degrees, even in the winter, it's worse in the warm weather. Like I said, they got rid of the only good thing they had going for them.

  • Cons: Poor service, commercialized
