Great space, rude DJ.

We celebrated my friend's 26th birthday at the Blue Dragonfly. We were looking for a fun, hip place with a nice dance floor and this place provided that. The downstairs was especially fun for dancing and having a good time. I did however try to request a song for my friend's birthday and the DJ was very rude about it. I asked him to play a song and he snapped at me saying it was a "90's themed night". I wasn't aware, so on the spot I asked him to play "I Like Big Butts", a 90's classic. Instead of playing the song the DJ made fun of me saying, "Sir Mix A lot? Really? Oh yeah...THAT'S original," and he never actually played the song. If it's going to be a 90's theme, I'd think that song would be okay. Another time my friend approached the DJ and told him it was her birthday to which he replied, "So?" I thought it was particularly uncalled for. We were just trying to have a good time. However, despite the rude DJ, the bartender downstairs was amazing. He payed close attention to us and we always got amazing service. He was attentive, funny and made a great drink. The vibe of the place was energetic and urban, which was just what we were looking for. The patio was also a great space to sit outside and get some fresh air. Overall we had a great time and I'm happy there's a place like this on the east side. Be cautious of the DJ though.
- Pros: large dance floor, outside patio, atmosphere
- Cons: rude DJ

I went recently to Blue Dragonfly with a coworker since it is close to my house and found a spot that will be a perfect after work spot for going out with friends. I sat in the bar, so I don't know about the rest of the place, but the bar menu had great stuff. The crab cakes are delish! The drinks were the yummiest, though. The service was quick and polite. I'll bring more friends next time.
- Pros: Easy to park location. Not too busy.
- Cons: Powell may be out of the way for some.
