Owner Jen Minuto, a musician and attorney, designed the space as "a joyful, artistic, soulful place" welcoming diverse musical programming including jazz, blues, folk, fado, bossa nova, flamenco, and rock.

HISTORY

The Blue Room opened Memorial Day Weekend 2023. Owner Jen Minuto had identified this location a decade prior.
