| - Comfortable. Simple. Amazing.
Blue Dust is my favorite bar because of the above adjectives. Walking in, you see an open room with tables and a cozy bar. Turning towards the door you notice an area to play darts and Rock'em Sock'em Robots (epic). Turning in the other direction you notice the myriad of refrigerators full of quality beer. Similarly, there are a dozen or so beers on tap, all of which are top notch. Also, they have bacon bourbon and it is crazy.
The menu is very simple, containing a few staple appetizers, salads, small plates, and sandwiches. The gold, however, is in the monthly specials. The first time I ever visited Blue Dust they had braised short ribs as the special--short was a loose term, very loose term. If I had to guess, I'd say each rib weighed a half pound each and I was served three, and all of the meat was falling off the bone. The February special is pulled mutton; the only other time I've had mutton was at Blue Dust. Both times were fantastic. If you want a special, go a week or so into the month until the last few days of the month. I've gone when they were still waiting on ingredients on the first of the month and after they'd run out of some towards the end of the month.
Tuesdays are pierogie night. They're made in-house, are amazing, and sell out.
My only complaint is their salsa served with their sandwiches is strange. Not my style, but maybe somebody likes it.
Go there, grab a brew, and chow down. You won't regret it.
