This is a classic 3.5! I will rank it 4, because we visited during Happy Hour. Same food and drinks during non Happy Hour would have deserved a 3. They were understaffed when we visited, but to their credit all the servers who were there were working double-time ... and staying cheerful and friendly! We sampled a few of their martinis and had appetizers - Thai chicken, shrimp taco, and spinach dip. All fine. read more

The only thing going for them was good food and a neat aesthetic. But even with that, it's overpriced and I had pruny grapes with the baked brie dish. Don't serve overripe fruit.... The drinks are overpriced as well, even for lady's night when they're half-off. Table of four with three alcoholic drinks and three dinners was nearly $90... with two of those drinks half-price! Also, the service was slow and very confused...and it was a slow night! We had to ask a server to come and order the drinks after 5 minutes of waiting. Same thing again when we wanted the check. She didn't inform us they were out of lobster until we tried to order the lobster taco and she didn't automatically reduce the lady's night drinks and had us review the check for accuracy with her there. Absolute rookie. And like a lot of the other reviews, the in-house cover band was too loud to be able to converse with anyone at the table. The music they had on before the band was better and at a more reasonable volume. This bar/grill is very confusing in terms of demographics. Are you a night club for twenty somethings who want to drink and dance? It's too expensive and the music sucked. Are you catering to the older, wealthier Scottsdale crowd? It's too loud and the waitresses are wearing corsets with the tops of their bras showing as if this is a classy Hooters. City North is dead. read more

I'll give it 2 stars because I felt a place like this should have more potential. The drinks are overpriced and they're a bit stingy with the alcohol. I swear my mojito tasted more like a bag of sugar. The bartenders are pretentious snobs that'll stare at you for a while before they decide to wait on you. Given there was one that was cool. The guy with the ponytail is antisocial and shouldn't be working there. No one was ordering a drink and you ignored me 5 times. The DJ is insufferable. He doesn't understand how to vibe people with beats. Either this was a bad time to come or it's always like this. I won't be coming back. read more

I've been here several times and it gets less and less fun every time. Primarily due to the deteriorating clientele and over priced drinks. $27 for 2 margarita plus the cover charge? Mmmm...the drinks aren't THAT good! Plus, it's actually a swingers' bar and because of that there's always about 4 sleazy men for every woman. The outdoor patio is full of smoke so forget about enjoying any fresh air. The music is pretty decent...soooo 2 stars. read more

So, I've been here twice. It's definitely an older crowd, well older than me anyway and I'm in my mid-twenties. That's not a bad thing, just an observation. I met a woman who told me that if she was my age again she would not be hanging out at Blue Martini. Another guy asked me if I was twelve, so you can see why I bring up the whole age thing. On a side note- I was barely buzzed, so I don't think I was acting twelve. Another thing I observed, three woman (not girls) dancing on a counter and posing "seductively" for photos. They took at least fifteen shots of just their butts. They were some classy bitches. What else, three people confused my male friend for a female. Yeah, he really needs to cut his hair, he is just too darn pretty! Seriously, his hair could star in a Vidal Sassoon commercial. He even scored a ladies VIP card. Good times. The night was capped by witnessing the saddest drunk I have ever seen. I thought that maybe I had accidentally teleported to Vegas or Rocky Point, but no, I was still in a parking lot in AZ. He had his pants around his ankles, a bloody knee and dirt all over his face. I guess he fell down a few times? He couldn't get his pants up to save his life, seriously, I actually tried to help him I felt so bad. He kept mumbling something about medical school. Ah, the children of tomorrow. Anyway, someone finally claimed him. What else? The waitresses all wear bustiers. I once went on a Thursday night and they had a live band. The Blue Martini had a glow stick in it. The bathrooms are pretty nice. People will step on you on the dance floor. I think one guy seriously shoved me out of the way so he could spin his girl. He was a prick, but I Iet it slide... he was shorter than me. read more

only issue was the band was way too loud. Not a lot of people in the bar...ladies night....was watching some NBA games....fine. Would have like to chat with some of the ladies around, but impossible with the band.....2 guitars and a female singer....playing. There's no dance floor so it's supposed to be 'listening' music.......fine. Would have had dinner there and hung around but don't want that blaring in my ear while I'm trying to eat. Why don't you bar owners 'get it'?? Look at the demographic.....they're not 20-somethings.....They want to talk, .....with the BACKGROUND music not interfering. Matt Teahan read more

I always have fun at Blue Martini and meet tons of people to chat with and the service in general is great, too. The bartenders are very nice and attentive and I've never had to wait long for a drink. Even though it can get crowded, I've yet to wait in a line for the bathroom, either. Speaking of which... I really wish they'd do away with the concept of bathroom attendants. I think I'm old enough to know how to wash and dry my own hands. Also, I don't carry cash so it's awkward feeling like a cheapskate when you're anything but and you can't tip the lady. This was so aptly pointed out by a snotty, awkwardly tall, raven haired patron powdering her nose in front of the mirror. If I didn't know any better I would have mistaken her for someone who'd just had a sex change or a corpse that had just been reanimated because she had the waxiest face ever. After apologizing to the attendant for not being able to tip, the wax faced tranny rolled her eyes and said, "What? You don't have any AMERICAN DOLLARS?" I felt she was implying I was an illegal since I am of mixed heritage and am often mistaken for a variety of races. I'm not sure why white people feel they have to go there. Isn't being white enough? Not that it was any of her business, but I explained that I don't carry cash. I also admonished her for rolling her eyes (I was too buzzed to dish out a proper tongue lashing) but she was too busy staring at herself in the mirror to care. "This is Scottsdale, honey," she shot back, still powdering her face. No, this is PHOENIX, Einstein. Blue Martini is in Phoenix, not Scottsdale. And not everyone carries cash to pay by the hour, you freakin' snotty ho. But it's one of those things you don't think to say until AFTER the fact. Another typical brainless and uneducated Scottsdale fem bot who is obviously geographically challenged. Hopefully, she'll succumb to makeup poisoning and stay IN the grave. read more

My douche-bag detector was off the chart from the moment we got inside... lots of fake people and Asian hookers. It is one of the few places this far north that offers live music and dancing tho (if you're into that). I think I would have enjoyed this more during the week when it isn't as packed and they don't charge guys a cover - I hear they let people sing with the band on Mondays - Live Karaoke anyone? read more

Blue Martini Lounge - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have to bump my rating down a star. Yes, as you can tell by my previous review they have a pretty good happy hour. Decently priced drinks and yummy nibbles. During the happy hour the crowd isn't too bad either. But holy hell, I would give this place 2 stars based on their late Saturday night. Wow, what a hot mess. First of all, long wait to get in. But if you are a disgusting middle aged man driving a BMW with a head to toe surgically enhanced Barbie doll on your arm... well you get right in. Once you are in you are stuck in a sardine can full of half of the geriatric population of Scottsdale. It is almost impossible to move. Several times I got groped by a 50 something with hair plugs celebrating his 4th divorce. There are bouncers on every corner yelling at people to keep walking and not block the walkways. Bartenders were nice enough, but the quality of the drinks were inconsistent. My dirty martini was not nearly as good as last time and they lacked those lovely blue cheese olives I enjoyed so much. My husband's mojito was pretty good but I ordered a gin concoction that was so heavy on the gin I could barely finish it. I do love strong drinks but I like to be able to taste the other ingredients. The worst part about the drinks was the price. $13 a pop! Yikes. The crowd. Oh the crowd. The good news is I now know there is life after the age of 50. I just have a hard time picturing my sweet little mom in a place like this. When some of the 80's songs started so did the gyrating. I heard Viagra bottles popping everywhere... Yes we will be back for happy hour. But on a weekend night? Never again. Never ever. read more

Had a great time hanging out here. The blue martini had me acting silly and taking selfies. Then I moved on to dancing to the band. Had a great time read more

Love the music here! The live band was amazing. I wasn't amused on the overpriced martinis. Ladies get in free and guys pay $10. I will go back just the music! read more

I never say a bad word about any business as I know how difficult especially in the food industry it is to please clientele. But tonight..... oh my... I am at Blue Martini In Desert Ridge, AZ after leaving a brand new competitor only a half mile away.....Copper Blues..... left there because at Happy Hour the poor acoustics for probably a talented duet was so bad and loud one could not hear the person next to them..... at 5:30? Maybe 10 PM.... so went to Blue Martini..... greeted by a DJ playing who knows what so loud that even the bar tenders are complaining.... it's also an adult crowd .... 50 Plus..... we asked if at least lower the volume but no can do... This is 9PM Music . Asked for a manager and was told the owner was Actually in the bar.... he was in deep conversation with 2 men for the last 55 min & asked to meet him..... so far won't even walk the biz to see what's going on..... this is a biz that has a transition in patrons ..... happy hour is an older after work crowd or early evening . Later on is a younger crowd. Prediction....competition in this area will really hurt if the owner does not pay attention to detail.... I have been a loyal customer for 7 years.....lost me tonight. You owned this area and have become complacent and allowed others to take your market. BTW, 60 min later he still has not bothered to walk the bar greeting other patrons and his staff to their credit is defending him..... The one still good thing is the food is very good so if you want to put up with noise pollution , no conversation and can't think straight because it is too loud and leave with your brain spinning .. this is the place for you! But no longer me. read more

I have been coming to this place for years, but this past Sunday was ridiculous. A friend and I went for the live music, after ordering food and drinks they asked for a card to put in case we wanted to order more, I put mine up. Once we went to leave we asked for the BILL, the bartender ran my card w/o providing a itemized bill...Well my friend was paying not me...the bartender then went back and supposedly credited my card(stated her machine did not provide a receipt for credit and stated I could take a pic of the voided receipt), she adjusted the bill stating that we were overcharged. 3 days later I have accrued $200 in over draft fees (because I budget) and there is no credit. My suggestion is that if you go, PAY as you go!!!! I am sure they will not provide me the $$$ for my over drafts. read more

I chose 3 stars b/c it depends what you are looking for..... I see it as "Barcelona North". Boobs and Botox everywhere..... It gets incredibly crowded - which of course is great business - but - it gets SOOOOO hot, so loud, so crowded. Again - depends what you are looking for. I guess I am totally over the super crowded "Scottsdale" bar scene. They do have great happy hour deals. BUT - their food - I swear they just go to Safeway to pick up some things. We ordered a cheese plate on a couple different visits - we had cheese cubes, those little cheese wheels with the wax you peal off, the crackers were definitely straight out of a grocery bag. Get this though - we asked for extra crackers to go with our cheese cubes and cheese wheels - and they charged us! Definitely go for the scene and the fancy martinis if that is your thing. BUT - the best deal of all - They have these VIP Cards. The VIP cards allows you a free martini anytime you go as long as it is before 9pm - and even better - If there is a line to get in and / or a cover - Ladies - you and 3 girls get to skip the line and the cover! Now that is a good deal. So I guess the 3 stars are for me - once again - I am sure it is 4 or 5 for some people and 1 or 2 for others. Have fun! PS - Parking sucks - unles you are cool with Valet - otherwise - prepare to walk. PS2 - Melissa was an awesome waitress. read more

What can I say about Blue Martini? This place has become the new Barcelona in my opinion. Cougar Centrale! It is definitely an older female demographic. Now my opinion has been formed by just one jaunt into this place, but I'm sure it's the same on any given night. There will be the older drunk guys dancing with some woman they wouldn't want to be seen with on any other night. Drink prices weren't outlandish which you would sort of expect. There are four bars in this joint. So getting a drink should be easy right? Negatory. It was like waiting for Hailey's Comet to order something. Plus you have to deal with the DB guys muscling their way in trying to jump the line. Overall, if you are desperate for a place to go in CityNorth, this is probably the "classiest" joint there. Not sure I will be going back ever. read more

Good happy hour. Huge selection of martinis, along with a variety of apps, light meals, and a few desserts. The martinis (normally $12 - $14 on the menu) are half-price during happy hour, although just so you know, they are all $7 which is not technically half price, depending which ones you order. Still, this is a really good deal. The martinis are served with the shaker and you really get about a martini and a half's worth. The food is also half price during happy hour. The fruit and cheese plate was delicious -- huge portion of cheeses. We ended up needing two refills of crackers. The spinach and artichoke dip, served with pita triangles, was nothing special. It was kind of soupy. So I'd say go with the fruit and cheese plate, and order extra crackers to begin with. My first martini, the key lime, was not great. It was half-filled with whipped cream, which I had to scoop out. The martini itself isn't very lime-y and would have been better with vanilla vodka rather than plain. I ordered the blue martini next, but honestly it was so disgusting I had to send it back. The service started out okay but got pretty pitiful as the place got more crowded.We sat on the patio, which was peaceful and nice but I really wish they didn't allow cigars :( Even with the fans going, you still get hit with a strong whiff if anyone is smoking one. The inside is large, with several rooms and a huge bar area. They have live music every night. Very cool. It's definitely an older crowd, which is kind of nice because it's more mellow. Even though I wasn't crazy about my martinis, I'd gladly go back for another happy hour and try some of the others. read more

I've been here many times, but only on Wednesday nights. Why? Because my coworkers love to come here for Ladies Night. It's a fun night to people watch. Tucked away in the City North development, the location is less than ideal to drive a lot of traffic. So, it takes a lot of work to get people out here on a regular. On Wed nights, they do a great job of doing that. The place gets packed and you have to get there early or make reservations to snag one of the comfortable, padded chairs/table setups on the 2nd level with a great view of the band/dance floor. The party atmosphere on Wednesdays is pretty cool, especially for Phoenix which is typically dead all of the time. A mid-week party like this is rare. We've dined here a few times. The Margherita Flatbread and Burger are both pretty good. The food isn't why we come here though, so it's always an afterthought for us. The staff here is really attractive and can keep up with the pace of a nightclub atmosphere, so the service levels have always been high for us. Overall, a fun night out. We'll definitely be back. Return Factor - 100% read more

OK so from now on, Blue Martini will only get my business on Sunday nights. Sunday nights get four stars. Saturday nights get ONE star- so I figured I'd split the difference and give three stars for the business as a whole. I will break down the difference between the two nights momentarily, but first I have to lament just how wildly overpriced the drinks are here. I really, REALLY don't think a martini should EVER cost more than $10 or $11. Here at Blue martini, my fave drink (The Lychee Martini) is $14.50. That is completely astronomical!!! Pro-tip for my ladies- come here with a man and make him buy all your drinks. Now, the reason I love Sunday night is because the crowd is very racially diverse, mostly seems to trend toward folks in my age group (30's), and the live band that plays here (I think the name of the band is 'Reminisce"?) on Sunday nights is AHHHMAZING! It's R&B soul music and the lead singer is ON POINT! They're all so talented and the vibe is fantastic. Saturday night is very much a NON-diverse (melanin-deficient), mostly older crowd. Very old. I saw people that looked to be approaching their early hundreds (ok maybe they were in their 70's, but you catch my drift). I'm not age-ist but IMO, it's weird to be in your 30's mingling in the same space with people your memaw and pepaw's age! Am I wrong? And both Saturdays I've been here, the live bands have been really, really dreadful and played waaaaaay outdated music. I think they played a Rick Springfield song last weekend at the Little Black Dress party! YIKES! It wasn't good. I can only speak for myself, but 867-5309 is not my idea of fun danceable music in 2016. You won't catch me at this joint again on any night that's not a Sunday. read more

GIRLS NIGHT WOO HOO... No Not really. Went out with the girls one Saturday night .. I let my friend pick the place. MISTAKE. Cougars and kinda douchey guidos all over the place. 12 dollar martinis. Pluses: The Bartenders-nicest staff at a club so far. little dude behind the bar cool as hell, and the house band was consistent Minuses-Everybody else. I spent the night getting smacked in the head by a cougar on the loose. So if you are 40 or 50 plus woman looking to hang out. Go for it. If not head somewhere else. read more

Worst mixed drinks we've had in a long time. Food was completely bland. Everything was horribly overpriced. Over 100 degrees and the misters weren't on. Other patrons smoking cigars. Basically, the worst dining/drinking experience we've had in a long time. read more

The live music was great... I think that was the highlight. I really liked the layout and design of the place. Drinks are very stiff which is a plus for most. Anddd that's about it. I just feel like there are better places to go on a Saturday night if you're in your twenties. Definitely a cougar bar... but that's okay. Cougars need to drink too. But when you start dancing on tables and knocking the decor over, it's probably time to put your overpriced martini down, Mom. read more

This place is one of my favorites. The are delicious and the ladies are hot and beautiful! You got go and try it. EA read more

I love, LOve, LOVE this place! It reminds me of the old Barcelona and has become my home away from home. Dimly lit and all sexy. This is the place to see and be seen. With numerous themes and give aways nightly. A friendly mature crowd inhibits this space, so your sexy dress up clothes are encouraged. PLUS, I have yet to witness or be groped by the disgusting rump humpers. (you know what I'm talking about, ladies...) But instead, have had many a good conversations and made some very good friends here. (Maybe they are catching on to my celebrity status as a regular.. I mean Valuable VIP?? ...Nahh! Hehe) Parking can be a challenge and the door can cause a delay, so plan for it. But, once inside makes for a super cozy almost Miami cabana feel. Imagine complete strangers brushing up against eachother 'accidently' in passing and lovers nuzzled up close, lost in conversation and laughter surrounding this large, open, and well ventilated covered patio area containing the massive granite top bar with flat screens dotted along the walls. Inside, are two equally large bars, where live bands take to the stage and perform. The only downer is that the dance floor is on the smaller side and gets very packed! But, if shake it space is limited, there are also pole tables to get up on! TIP: To create your own space and get pampered, reserve a table in the VIP section, you will not be disappointed! The waitress and bar staff probably model in their spare time, because they're GAUWGOUS!! I love the uniforms! But, their service is superior and the drinks are STRONG! They have never let me down, as I have tried almost all of the martinis and mixed drinks, everything has it's own personal finish; edible orchids; apple slices; graham cracker crust rim; gummy bears; glow sticks whatever you want they have it! PLUS, the shaker on the side of your martini will keep the contents cold longer on those hot Arizona nights (they will even make you an alcoholic 'looking' (although, non-alcholic) drink for a fraction of the price! HH is the best time to get in and try their specialty drinks and food. The Margherita and Beef Tenderloin & Portabella flatbreads are a great choice and I am in love with their Fruit and Cheese Plate it's huge and could easily be shared at least 4 ways! Thank you Blue Martini for coming into our lives. Keep up the good work I am totally a fan! read more

CityNorth in North Phoenix is the latest mixed use development to blend the idea of - Live, Work, Play. Kierland Commons and the Scottsdale Waterfront were the two big players in this market, until now. CityNorth is bringing the idea together slowly and Blue Martini will fit right into the mix. Be forewarned - there is a dress code! I walked through the velvet ropes for the pre-opening shindig on Thursday evening, but there were a few men that didn't make the cut! They had on T-shirts! The patio is situated well and it has it's own bar that flows nicely. The drinks were small though, ordered a Tanqueray & Tonic and it came in a 6 oz. glass packed with ice. Not a lush, but I appreciate a mixed drink served appropriately for $8. The band was decent, wasn't really paying attention to them. Their setup is behind a bar and they have 4-5 members in the group. There is a small dance area nearby also. I realize that Phoenix and Scottsdale cater to crowds and it is nice to retreat from them, BUT ... There were 2 areas for VIP's, with the ropes , guy in a dark suit looking important and cocktail servers. It was odd for me to see a VIP area in a restaurant/lounge/bar, that's all I'm saying. The women that cocktail here are hired for their assets, its quite apparent what the mandatory requirements are for this place. Yes, they have to fill out the corset - completely! I would give it another chance and actually have dinner here. That's the DL for now... read more

Blue Martini... Wow. It is definitely not for us young whipper snappers as all the reviews have said it. The older you are the more you will probably fit in and I am in my mid 30's. Don't get me wrong, everyone was friendly and it was a laid back atmosphere but it just wasn't my type of crowd. With that said, I was there for happy hour and the lobster tacos and their mango martini were both 5 star quality. They leave the martini shaker on your table after they fill your glass I swear I filled up my martini glass 3 times!! It was a small shaker but that shaker sure did hold alot of that good mango martini. Their were big lobster chunks in the two tacos that I had and for the price (being that it was happy hour) it was worth it. We tried to order dessert but they only had one out of the three available which was the white chocolate mousse pie and unfortunately, after 1 bite each, we were not happy with it. Stephanie, our fantabulous waitress took the pie off our bill even after we said don't worry about it. Needless to say she got an extra few bucks because of it. Not a bad place to go if you are in the area and if you are looking for a younger crowd, you will be sadly disappointed. read more

I came here with about dozen people of varying age from late 20s to 40s. THE LOCATION Have to switch up my typical order of things, as this place needs a separate mention for its location. If you are not familiar with the area, you probably will not even know it exists. City North looks like an abandoned parking structure/office space during the day and despite driving past the area for the past several years, this year was the first time I found out anything even exists in there and that's only because a friend of mine told me about it. THE FOOD/DRINKS I tried a couple martinis, red bull vodka, scotch and vodka and did not come away thinking that an ingredient was missing or a water founds its way into the drink. The martinis come in a metal mixer in addition to your glass which is a nice touch, but carrying the drink from a bar to friend(s) becomes quite a fascinating adventure. The prices are on the high side, but I figure you are also paying for the waitresses looking good. Late at night when the hunger could no longer be quenched by drinks, my wife and I ordered some sort of a pizza thing that was reasonable priced and sized and was actually tasty. Kudos for having that, although the food menu to me seemed a bit on a skimpy side for things that would be easy to eat late at night and not necessarily sober. SETTING If you have a narrow filed of view, the place looks like it can be a part of a nice strip of bars and clubs in a real city. Getting over the fact that 100 feet in any direction the development ends takes a few drinks. By my approximate count, there are two bars, some individual tables inside as well as on the patio and of course the dance floor area which is relatively small. So you have quite a variety of places to be at. For SMOKERS out there, this is probably one of the most friendly places I've been to, as the patio where you can smoke is just about as comfortable as the interior, something to remember when it is 110 outside. SERVICE Joe and Ashley (mostly Ashley) took great care of our mostly ESL pack of drinkers, which must have been quite a challenge, as Ashley gets quite a bit of attention from male patrons due to the combination of the attire all the girls wear at this place and the particulars of her physique. Obviously drunk/rowdy get lead out the door in a hurry and the drunkards that try to get their keys from valet get a time out before getting the car. THE CROWD Probably the most important part of this place to most people that come here. The crowd is very varied in age from mid 20s to entirely-too-old-for-this-place. Noticeable number of lone wolves (like the old drunkard that tried hitting on my wife) and lone cougars (sometimes younger). It would appear that a lot of people come here to hit or be hit on. If you are not into that, bring bodyguards or skip a shower :) OTHER There was a live cover band at the beginning of the night and while entertaining, the quality of their singing made it seem like karaoke night at first. read more

Best martini I have ever had! I have tried a few different ones on the super long list to choose from but Triple Chocolate is my favorite! They give you the martini glass and the shaker. This is great for two reasons. One - you get more martini than can possibly fit in one glass. Two - they don't fill it to the brim so you can actually walk around with your martini glass without spilling and wasting the delicious beverage. Make sure when you are leaving you ask for a True Blue Lady VIP Card. (If you are a lady that is...) Next time you go, just show your card at the door and you get a ticket which is good for your first martini on the house. A free $12 delicious martini? Yes, please!!! The food here is tasty. The flatbreads are good. So is the spinach dip. They do play the music a bit too loud in the bar for happy hour. It makes it hard to hear the person right next to you. So just sip your martini and people watch. read more

Hi Dave J. I would love to explain to you what a happened.I'm really upset with your establishment. I've never been through such a bad situation in my life. Thank you read more

I visited Blue Martini pretty early on a Friday evening. I liked the way you had the option of being inside or outside in the open air area. It wasn't too crowded, and we were able to find a table in the outside area for people watching quickly. We ordered drinks and appetizers. It took at least an hour for one of the apps to arrive. Someone must have forgotten about it somewhere along the line, and our server did us the favor of taking it off of the bill. The drinks were well-balanced and I sampled a signature cocktail one of my friends ordered, which was very good. I was with a good-sized group, so I wasn't as put off as the other reviewers by the other bar-goers who may have been on the hunt. read more

The visit on this past Saturday night was worth it just to hear a band with an actual horn section. You don't hear horn sections with lounge acts in Phoenix. Amazing! It was like I was at the Dunes in Vegas in 1969. There are uniforms in use by not only the servers but also the patrons. Women are required to wear enough eye-makeup to cause them to resemble raccoons from a distance. Something resembling prom wear is also required. Men are to wear fitted dress shirts worn with the tails out and slightly-flared designer jeans with embroidery of some kind. These are the uniforms required for the flirting activity, which to the outside observer resembles groups of women chattering with each other while men stand alone while holding drinks and looking "hard" and not talking to anyone. Apparently, at some time in the past these maneuvers have resulted in the occasional successful sexual encounter, but perhaps not since its practitioners were in high school. read more

Great place to get your grove on! BLUE MARTINI LOUNGE is a super organized venue that knows how to make it fun and is reasonably priced going out to a nice club! We felt like we were in Vegas. It's a very large venue with dim lighting, different levels, and strobe lights. Happy Hour is from 4pm-8pm everyday. So all the drinks which run about $12-14 were half off. We split a martini at the end of the evening after Happy Hour and found that one martini shaker (drink) filled both our glasses (just a tip). No cover charge either! We arrived about 7:15pm and got a great seat facing the lower level bar. The band sets up on a stage behind the bar - but you can see them anywhere in "the house." There isn't a dance floor per se but there was plenty of room to dance around the tables, and everyone kind of filled up that space. I like that I can keep an eye on my purse while I'm dancing. By 9-9:30pm this place was packed and the band THE PARTY CRASHERS knew how to get the crowd going. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. My only suggestion to the band is not take such a looooong break between sets. My gosh, 30 minutes is too long! The background music is just a constant beat, no music otherwise I think folks would just keep on dancing. Blue Martini has lots of events which is a great incentive to bring in the locals. For example, Western Night (Mondays), Ladies Night and Little Black Dress event coming up in the summer. The dress code was definitely nightclub attire. Great looking people there! We loved our first time experience there and would definitely go back! read more

I went to Blue Martini last night and had such a great time. Sundays is R&B/Soul night. The live band Reminisce was AMAZING! They took me back home to NYC with the live band lounge experience! It was a good diverse crowd and everyone was enjoying the music! I ordered the margherita flatbread, a caramel martini and the apple tart for dessert. Everything was tasty. They make the drinks kind of strong and appreciate the fact that they leave the shaker at the table with plenty more to consume! The lounge itself is really sexy and I imagined coming here for a date night or perfect for hosting an intimate party. I don't know about the other nights, but If you love live soul music, definitely come out on a Sunday night. read more

I'm sorry but I feel absolutely sick from the cigar smoke coming in the doors here from their patio, headache too! I must say I'm very impressed with how John the proprietor and owner responded to my comment in such a positive way! Worth another try.... Thanks! read more

Stiff drink? Check. Hot Bartenders? Check. Live Music? Check. Easy location to Uber to an from? Check. Every review is so critical. Geez. If this place was in Old Town, there would be lines around the corner. This is a hot spot for people to kick back a few drinks and listen to live music. I am usually the youngest person there and I don't mind one bit. We've purchased tables and have dropped in on the random and always have a great time. And PS, again, stiff martinis. Can't go wrong. read more

3.5 stars Friday night free for ladies, $10 cover for guys. I had an awesome time people watching! Cougars breaking it down and battling each other on the dance floor, stage... Anywhere they can get up and shake it! The cover band that night was awesome (SmashT). Ordered the sex and the city martini, cookies n cream, and a mojito - all made well. Typical blue martini prices for the drinks (~$13) read more

Ok, so I held off writing a review here from my 1st visit, which was when they were brand new, about a year ago. It has definitely remained exactly the same. I was out for a date night on the 1st time around, and wouldn't you know it? Loud, obnoxious, rowdy, big group, who were not only inebriated from the previous ball game which they just crawled off a bus from, but continued to drink their heads off with regular spurts of raucous laughter. It got even worse, as they then celebrated a birthday in the group. moving onward... You seriously have to gawk at the likes at what constantly walks in here. January.... I mean, I was sitting outside on the beautiful patio next door at Ocean Prime, and my teenager couldn't help but roll his eyes in disgust at what the 50 year old ma'ams (or is it Madames?) and the get-ups (or lack of them). Looked like freaky muppets with all that hair, googly eyes, big lips, plastic-y, and other extraordinary cartoonish characteristics. TIme MARCH-es on So, on yet another date night, I go to head to the sexy patio at Ocean Prime, but it was closed off due to wind. SO I groaned and thought, ok, we'll ck out the next outdoor establishment, since it seemed pretty quiet - shock. After sitting down, it didn't take long to realize that I felt unclean, got the creeps and thought how trashy this and the patrons in it were. To top it off, I didn't see any wines by the glass. I'm otta here. We quickly made a dash to the swanky & very classy indoor bar area of Ocean Prime. Had an amazing glass of red wine. Nice music. Sexy décor. Everything was good. The earth was set back into it's perfect rotation. read more

This place can be a little too loud, but who cares! I love it! Plus the the drinks are bomb! Have a drink or two or three and you wouldn't even care what's playing, you'd just want to dance!! Great expresso martini. read more

Save your $$ and don't valet - huge self-parking lot to the east! Love this venue - it seems to always be packed, which is a good sign. They had a live band on Friday night which was fun. Seating/tables are scarce - I suggest coming a little early - or make friends w/ppl who already have a table. Drinks are a bit pricy, IMO. I mean $36 for a dbl Gray Goose/Cran and Cosmo?? Plus I threw in $3 for a tip - that's $40!!!! Jeez Bathrooms are also clean - this is very important to me. They may want to think about getting better signage for restrooms - maybe it's just me, but I felt it was a small treasure hunt finding the place. read more

Have not been here in a about 15 months n now I know why. This place has gone way downhill. Still a nice atmosphere but the crowd is totally trashy and not a good scene in my opinion. And $16 for a small martini is a rip off. For that price you can get 2 martinis or a bottle of premium vodka. You decide. read more

Absolutely the best happy hour in the valley! I am so glad it's just over a mile from my house! Try the half-price lamb chops during HH (if you like lamb). An incredible meal, but also very sharable. One warning: These martinis, even at HH, are really double martinis. Keep that in mind before you drive! (And even if you have a driver, I'd never drink a third!) read more
