Editorial Review for Blue Martini – by Kira Krauss

In Short
As is apparent from the name, Blue Martini specializes in sophisticated beverages for the 21-and-older crowd. But, the appeal to this downtown haven doesn't end with its cosmos. A tapas menu (duck gumbo is a staff favorite) and live music make this watering hole a welcome escape after work. A large sleek bar, overstuffed couches and large pillowed booths are perfect for groups or intimate dates.

User Reviews for Blue Martini

3 Star Rating: Average

This is usually a busy place. We like to sit outside. If I was single, I would definitely come to this bar to meet men--the crowd always looks decent. The bar is busy, so we sit outside and let the waitress tend to us, but sometimes it still takes a while to get your drink. I do appreciate the large menu of martinis.

Pros: menu, small bar, many tables outside, crowd

Cons: prices, small bar

Could be great... but smokey and crowded. Place smells like an old ashtray on slow nights. I've been several times but don't think will go back because of smell. Other than that the place would be awesome because lots of nice girls go there!

Pros: Cool looking place

Cons: Smells like an ashtray
