Bambu Martini Bar

I came here on a very, very slow night with my boyfriend. I came on a Tuesday night at 10:00pm since Buffalo Wild Wings was too packed for my taste and I figured that its not the best for a date night for me and my boyfriend. Its just a personal preference. Anyways, I always passed by this place every week and wanted to try it.

When I got there, I was surprised to find no one but the 3 employees that worked there and maybe one guy outside. You have the option to sit outside or sit inside. The inside is soo chic and elegant! I loved it and loved that we pretty much had the place to ourselves. I was greeted by the bartender Summer and she was super friendly! We talked the whole night with her and she gave some good recommendations for drinks.

We sat at the bar and ordered a drink. I tried the "White Gummy Bear" first and it was really delicious. I am not a sweet drink person so this is perfect for me. It has pear and pineapple alcohol in it. My boyfriend had some beers, his usual choice of alcohol. My boyfriend and I then ordered a cup of olives and artichoke dip with peta chips as pupus. They were delicious. I then ordered a "Sexy Bull" which is a martini like drink with red bull, cranberry, orange, and peach alcohol. That would be my favorite one! I only had 3, but that was the best in my opinion. After a while we ordered the meatballs which had some lamb in it. I was feeling brave from the "liquid courage" and wanted to give it a shot. It was actually not too bad, it had a probably what is a "gamey" taste, but overall delicious. I had my last and final drink of the night which was a random drink made by Summer. I dont know what she really put in it, but it has cucumber, ginger, and hard liquor in it. It tasted like a salad with alcohol, which is okay with me since I like veggies! LOL. The prices for all of these are not too bad as well! I am a "ballin on a budget" type of person and this was not going too overboard for me and my wallet!

Shoutout to Summer if she reads this!!!

Summer was a great bartender and hostess! She was really friendly and was easy to talk to. My boyfriend and I usually dont have nice conversations with people who work at places much since we live in Town, but it was nice to have that opportunity. Thanks for making our rare nights out a pleasant one and for making good conversation!

Overall, I would definitely come back here and have been recommending to my friends to try! I recommend this to the readers and hope you have an enjoyable experience like we did!

HAPPY HOUR! I say go during happy hour (4 to 7) because that's when special martinis are $3.50! Hey for $3.50 you can't go wrong!

A great bar for martini fans who especially love the fact they can truly indulge since they are $3.50 a pop. If anything these are perfect for the advanced martini drinker. Quite an array to choose from but not as extensive as the sister bar in Chinatown. Still they made pretty good ones with a decent amount of alcohol.Some flavors are a bit off while some are dead on. I found that the wallet friendly martinis tasted better than the premium. Perhaps simplicity is the key to it's success. Sadly, we were the only patrons to even order them. So many beers for a martini bar and sports programs.

Since martinis are my drink I thoroughly enjoyed my second experience here. It was a Friday night so there was a much bigger crowd than the norm but the service was still attentive and quick while friendly and personable. It wasn't too loud either. I think I underestimated the potency of the martinis since after having five and a walk to sober  up while walking to the counterpart in Chinatown we ended up making a trip to a park slide that resulted in a brief nap. I blame the martinis.
