Went here on a Saturday night with one of my girlfriends - we went for the "Club Experience".
Anyways.. I realize I live in Calgary.. but I'm sick of places/clubs in Calgary trying to pretend like they are from somewhere else. By this I mean.. I found this place to be a little "try hard-ish"... being in Calgary it's hard to determine what's the local nightlife culture like.
BLVD definitely tries to cater to the "high end".. it almost seems like an imitation Vegas wanna be club. The inside is nice.. gorgeous bar.. has two rooms, though we only partied in the one in the front. The music sucked. I didn't get what their music theme is.. top 40? nope. some random crap? yes.
door service? pathetic. if ur a male and want a boost to ur ego.. work as a doorman at a bar - u feel like u have unlimited power. I just don't get why u'd make 10 ppl stand in a line outside when there's enough room for em inside.
i found bottle service over priced for this place (especially if ur going to charge a service fee.. and when your "hostess" never is at ur table to pour ur drinks) drinks at the bar were typical Calgary price. I've had better service at some of the other bars.. u'r paying for the experience and catering - not just the bottle.. this places service wasn't up to par at all.
I guess it's nice to have the option to have a change of pace every now and then.. and to pretend like you're somewhere really posh. But I prefer the typical bars over this place. I'd rather save my glam and money for when im in vancouver/toronto or the USA.
After reviewing the website (and my experience) I will definitely come back to see what the restaurant is like - I have high hopes that it'll be a much better experience
