The Blue Door is our go to bar in Midland! Not only are the drinks absolutely delicious, the staff is super friendly and the service is fantastic! Patio is pup friendly and inside is perfect for a date night. I definitely recommend!
Fantastic bar, best craft cocktails in Midland, staff is always friendly. Great place for happy hour, a date, or a night out with friends.
Nice, quiet place. Good drinks and love the Chilton at Happy Hour prices!!
Love this place! The dog friendly patio is awesome thanks to all the shade. A great place to try fun cocktails and enjoy the nice weather! Service was excellent and even got some extra treats for our pup. Highly recommended for a great happy hour or their bar top cocktail classes.
Went to The Blue Door on February 5, 2022. I heard about this place on Facebook. I messaged them on Facebook to find out what sipping rums they carried. The manager messaged back and said they did not carry much sipping rum because there is not much of a market for it in West Texas. The manager did say they had a Ron Zacapa 23. That is a nice sipping rum. I went in the early evening and asked my waitress for a double of the Ron Zacapa 23 on the rocks. The manager comes out and explains that no one had ordered that so they had sent it back. The manager offered a drink on the house and sent one of the employees out to get a bottle of the Ron Zacapa 23. I was very appreciative of that and ordered two doubles while I was there. The Blue Door was very accomodating, the waitress was very nice and the manager took care of us very well. I would highly recommend this place for a good drink and nice place to spend some time. I will be back.
Drinks are always great!We did the trivia game on the patio and that was fun.
Drinks are good and some food options but ambience needs a little work to be a bit cozier... maybe some couches and less cafeteria tables. Service is excellent!
Best canned beer selection in Midland. Bartenders make mean cocktails also. Great patio. Favorite spot in Midland/Odessa.
The environment was just straight out weird!! And then we were sat all by ourselves in the back where bless her heart they sent the training waitress to us so we were very patient but overall it put me in such a weird mood like I was in the twilight show!! I would never go back but that's just me!!
I have been coming here for 5 years, and have been in love with this place bc it was different from the other rubber stamp places that you can guzzle flat beer and down watered down over sweetened cocktails. That changed the other night when I took my wife for our anniversary.I remember this establishment would not serve shots bc it took pride in its craft, and would the bar tenders would look in disdain if such a request was made. They now serve shots, which has drawn beer guzzling, shot taking, whooping, hollering and loudly clapping crowd that can be found at Chili’s. They also would never tolerate the obnoxiously loud shabbily dressed individuals I saw there the other night. I’m the past they would have been asked to keep it down. The bartenders used to be clean shaven, nicely dressed, and put on an air of pride in their craft. Now, I get a frat party vibe from t shirted, long hair having, ball capped bar keeps with the manager being the most in hygienic looking individual I seen. The best word I could use to describe him was mangy. All that was missing was a beer bong.The French martini: is a disaster. Poorly thought out. I expected a velvety smooth beginning, tapering to a mildly sweet body and a hint of pineapple towards the tail. Instead, I got pineapple. Just pineapple. With pink food coloring shaken to foam as if to say: “it looks pretty, is sweet, and pink so she’ll like it. She did not.The southern gentlemen: it was a play on the old fashioned with flavored bitters. Would be better with a longer body and more smoke. Overly sweet. Overall. Meh.The vesper. Wow. Amazing drink. Loved it. From beginning to end. If you want to feel like your wearing a tuxedo from having a drink, order this. You fell like a million bucks. Then again, it’s James Bond’s drink.All in all, please please please go back to what you were. Stop with shots. You used to be a cocktail lounge.Addendum: I can’t past the use of red herring to not address the issues. Sure you can mix a great cocktail with long dirty looking hair. But who’s gonna drink it?probably the crowd you’ve drawn that takes shots. I like the excuse of “diversity” to justify un professionally dressed and adorned bartenders. Also, you should try to be the same. “Change” is nothing more than a positive spin on deeply rooted problems.If you read what I said closely, you agreed, that your establishment is on a long steady decline into obscurity. Which is what happens when you compromise standards. Which you clearly have.
