What people say

2 out of 5 stars

“I appreciate both The Boulevard and Goat Hill, and some of the places at Triangle Square, however the area is thrashed by people who don't live in the neighborhood and think the streets and sidewalks are their personal trash cans. Urine smell in the morning, and take note of the vomit at the bsae of some of the businesses (2 at the base of the wall at The Boulevard). Classless individuals. Taco trucks on the street and people throw their crap in the bushes or gutter. Would be nice to see if the businesses could hire an individual, to pressure wash the sidewalks and pick up the trash in the morning. Would be nice to see them invest in keeping their community safe and clean.”

“*IMPORTANT* Ladies, be on alert and have good friends with you. My friends and I believe our drinks were spiked on 2/14/26. The Boulevard was the only place we went and we only had 2 drinks. Within 2 hours of being there we felt like we had 10+ drinks! We were vomiting, lethargic, and struggling to walk. We have been to The Boulevard many times and typically order 4+ drinks with no issues. We will not be returning after this incident. We informed the staff of the incident to help prevent this from happening to other people and to hopefully have more eyes around. Be careful!!”
