I heard through the grapevine that Bellevue was deader than a doornail on Halloween..except…ta-da…the 520 Bar and Grill. It was packed to the rafters with costumed peeps with sunglasses, hats, and all sorts of other risque’ apparel.
They had a killer DJ playing dance music, and the dance floor was writhing with people dancing their butts off.

Great service, lots of hot men and women, good prices, and tons of fun. Check it out next year!

Well just to put things in perspective, what was happening for Halloween in Bellevue *last* year?

Oh man, the people WEARING costumes were being given a hard time gaining entrance into these places?? Halloween isn’t going to be on Saturday again for a while, so it’s disappointing to hear it wasn’t a big party. Agreed on the “no hats” rule; a lot of those rules just seem arbitrary.

Cap’n Crunch and a Tetris piece – love it! To be fair, the Parlor’s house rules aren’t just ridiculous on Halloween, they are ridiculous every night. I’ve been irritated to the point that I no longer go there. This place has such great potential, but someone behind the scenes is dropping the ball.

Brutal. Between Jake and Michaels’s comments, Halloween out in Bellevue didnt sound FUN at all.

It took some convincing but we were eventually allowed into the Parlor with my Capn Crunch costume w/ an enormously large hat and “mask”. My friend was the giant tetris piece who was not allowed to enter Lucky Strike, but the Parlor did let him in after giving a stern warning that if he misbehaved or fell over he would be escorted out promptly.

I was able to visit stir also and they were more than welcoming to everyone! although as stated above it was not very popular.

We did however have fun and do appreciate the places hosting events but seriously it is Halloween and IF you are going to place restrictions on HATS AND MASKS for Halloween do not even host an event . . . the Parlor’s controlling policies are too severe and will ultimately backlash on them I feel.
