The BLVD

Can’t complain about the prices and close to home location.
The only downside is all the cocks! If you are a female or a gay man you will find peace of mind here.
Try getting girls to come and try this bar out!
–Throw a ladies night
–Have fruity cocktails (you guys already have the cocks but no tails)
–Make the outside appealing to females.

Cool spot. Cheap booze. 100oz Modelo beer for $ 22, good for you and your buddies… or if you are just a beast and don’t give a shit, you can drink it yourself.
Only downside is that they just have beer, but a decent selection with some craft beer. Got a pool table and some seats. They have good happy hour prices. If you live in Boyle heights and don’t want to go out far, this is a good spot to grab a beer.

Love the blvd. Great spot to watch sports, great beer prices, pool table, and good vibes all around. Five stars for sure

Chill spot! Always good vibes and excellent service! Cheers! You won’t be disappointed.

This spot is Once Again open but under new management. The Blvd is one of my, if not, my absolute favorite sports bar to frequent. The staff is chill and friendly. The beer is priced very reasonably and I can enjoy some sweet tunes watch some sports drink a beer and play pool all at the same time. This is the new up and coming sports bar in boyle heights and it is only getting better. Great place to host events or private parties. The owners always make you feel welcomed and the entire vibe is relaxed and care free; like a good getaway spot should be. A place to enjoy yourself and enjoy great company. Definitely a bar to invite your friends to. I recommend for the locals to stop by if you haven’t already and see for yourself and for those near downtown to check it out. The Blvd is the place to be.

Was at a beer pong tournament last Sunday and it was crazy dope. Everything was properly set up and it even had live performances. I guess it’s under new management because looking at these other reviews is not what I experienced. Also you can’t go wrong with $ 9 pitchers of beer they have on tap. I will be back!

The Blvd is a pretty awesome spot. I know it used to be real ghetto and thuggish but since its re-​opened and been under management for the past few month I’ve had some epic times here.
First off the beer is a decent price. $ 4 bottles, $ 9 pitchers on tap. Pretty wide variety or beers. From domestic to imports and a couple of craft beers.
No Liquor as of now but from what I hear thats another thing soon to come.
Theres a pool table where you can play for free. There is a sound system and small stage for performing artist.
The reason I love the Blvd is they helped me host a beer pong tournament. 16 teams. All the teams got shirts and the winners took home a custom made beer pong table. The Blvd and their staff helped all along the way. Gave me a great price on the beer for the tournament and attended to all our crazy needs. Like 32 pitchers of beer floating around their bar. It was bad ass.
The blvd is definitely an up and coming spot in Boyle Heights. Locals who know the area know its not as bad as it once was. And the entire community is having a resurgence.
Ill be hosting another Tournament in September and I look forward to working with the Blvd in making it another memorable experience.

I been a here a couple times and everytime ive had a good experience. Since new ownership has taken over this place has taken a turn for the better. free pool table hip hop shows featuring some of the dopest artist east of the river and a welcoming atmospbere with occasional beer pomg tournaments that kick ass! Good times brimg a friend or two or 3 I would mos def recommend this place
Cheers!

new owners. great vibes. held an epic beer pong tournament on 8÷10÷2014 which included local hip hop artist performances. next one in september make sure you make it, dont miss out! i wouldn’t doubt it if this place becomes the next «spot». the location is so close to trendy dtla and if you like to shoot some pool come show off your skills!!! so the next time your in the area and you need a place to go come and join the fun, make some new friends, and share a nice cold beer at your local friendly bar!

It appears to be out of business. the phone is disconnected and the webpage is hacked.

Line-​ups here are always amazing. Local and traveling bands. This is the cream of the crop of your hole in the wall bars in East LA. Typical with no parking, fucked up neighborhoods, cholos eyeing you down… taco trucks… the works.

It would be a great place if they didn’t have a «no ins and out» policy. Also the place is runned by gang members and thugs. The owners like to rip off bands too.
SHADY!

Would have been 3 stars… but since such awesome bands play here, I gave it a 4^th. Lots of touring bands, which is awesome. The last Threatfest was here too. Kind of a big deal. Tall cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon for $ 4 AND of Boddington’s Pub Ale. BIG D.
Only thing I immensely hate about this place is the pretentious, dick security guards. And how humid and gross it gets inside due to lack of ventilation. Bust some holes in the walls or SOMETHING, Jesus. Pretty good sound though, it takes the guy a minute to correct it and get it all straightened out, but when he does, it’s not too bad. Huuuuge outdoor area for smoking and socializing in between sets. But it’s packed. But still decently sized.
Parking is horrendous. I usually park across the street @ the crab shack place.

i love the way everything is set up… so convinient…
for the venue itself… can’t have too many complaints except for the fact that the main room is hot as a mofo… drinks are great… never been to a bar where they sold PBR tall cans… this made my day… haha…
as for everything else… i have to say the crowd the shows attract… but i been there done that so i can cope with it… overall it’s a great place… very chill…

Went on a Saturday night to see a couple of bands. Show sold out, so if you can, I suggest buying tickets in advance if that option is available, or get there early. Buying tix in advance is nice if you want to skip the opening acts like I did.
The place is medium sized, I’d say holds about 150 – 200. Two reasons I probably won’t return:
1. The place is a sweatbox. Absolutely NO ventilation. I sweated like crazy just standing in the back… and I’m a skinny guy that doesn’t sweat easily!
2. This is my main gripe… the sound was terrible. I came to see a band I hadn’t seen since high school, so I was pretty excited to see ‘em. The bad sound pretty much ruined their set. Everything sounded muffled. They need to get a sound guy in there with a board.
Hey «The Blvd.», if you’re reading this, install some ceiling vents and get a sound guy. The price you charge at the door isn’t worth having to sweat like crazy for a bad sound system that seriously takes away from the show.
Oh, and if you’re a scared little girl like one of the other reviewers here, you might wanna stay on the Westside where you’ll be all safe and cozy and drink your Appletini. I found the neighborhood to be just fine.

The reason I like it so much its because it’s very near my house. Its big for Punk, Grindcore, Thrash, etc. The music room is very freakin hot! So dont take a jacket. The thing is that its abar so not all shows are all ages which sucks because MDC always plays there. Its okay, and its close to me so meh.

As a patron, I would never return to the BLVD for several reasons. The first of these would be because they are beer only, fail #1. Then there is the fact that this place is in the hood of the hood. Like, I know hard core gansta’s that wont go to this part of town. Its ghett-​TOE. And the parking sucks. Fail #2 and #3. To top it all off, there was a huge group of dudes with an accordion and la guitara singing songs in the entry way to the bar making it difficult to get in and out. fail #4.
But since I’m such an positive Polly, I will say there were a couple of good things about this place, such as…
— the sound system here is great and my band sounded AMAZING
— they have toilets that flush
— they were playing Back to the Future on the TVs out by the bar
— they sweetheart working the bar made me a cherry coke with the special ingredient of love.
Over all, unless there is a band that you seriously adore playing here, stay away!

Ive been here a few times, the first time was a very fun time. They have bands that play fri and sat nights… usualy punk/​hardcore bacnds from around the local area with is neat cause you get to see what the community of Boyle Heights has to offer… Alot if great talent. so check this place out they can do better work next time… eh…
