Came here as part of a bachelorette party. We ordered light bites -- flatbreads, ahi tuna with seaweed salad, etc. and shared. I got 2 drinks, one savory and one sweet (the cake pop - really recommend that one!) The waitress was a very nice girl who provided awesome service, despite one of us unintentionally insulting her (LOL). I also like that you can order a hookah here, though we didn't this time around. My only complaints are that the food is a bit pricey, even during happy hour, and that we were constantly sprayed by misters that reminded me of sprinklers. Maybe turn those down a little? My hair and me were like "Noooooo!!!!"...but somehow, we survived..
Review Source:I went to Blue Martini One evening with my boyfriend for happy hour. We ordered the chicken skewers, spinach dip, seared tuna, and the shrimp/crab dip along with a couple cocktails. The chicken was extremely overcooked and dry. The flavor was ok, but it definitely did not make up for the dry texture. The tuna did not have much taste to it and was still partially frozen in the center. Both of the dips were only room temperature by the time they hit our table. Neither one of them were as cheesy as the menu describes.. It seemed as if they were made with just lukewarm cream.
The service was absolutely horrible. Our waitress was rude every time she came by.... Which was not often at all. She seemed irritated to even be there. We did not get one smile from her nor did she ask how everything was.
My wife and I thought we would give the Blue Martini a try on a weeknight because we were already in Town Square. We arrived at about 9:30pm to find a couple friendly people sitting at the front desk, which was a nice change. We took a walk through and found that it was mostly empty so there were a lot of open tables available. They had a band playing on the main stage but the music was kind of depressing - we sat down and ordered a drink anyway. I ordered a Grey Goose martini, extra dry with an olive and my wife ordered a Chopin martini with a twist. They arrived at our table about 15 mins later. Both martinis tasted like they contained about 2 oz. of vermouth, 1/2 oz. of vodka and 5 oz. of water. They were served warm and tasted like vermouth flavored water. They were, without a doubt, the worst martinis we have ever tasted!
After we choked down our martinis, we figured that we would give them one more chance and ordered something easy: Captain Morgan and diet Coke. Our drinks arrived fairly quickly this time but the drinks were served in what appeared to be 4 oz. glasses filled with ice! I have had larger drinks at a strip club! To add insult to injury, the bill arrived and we were charged $17.00 for the GG martini, $18.00 for the Chopin and $10.00 for each Capt'n and diet! The strange part is that I'm sure they listed GG martinis on their menu for $12.00 along with just about every other type of martini. I wonder if those ones had some alcohol in them? When we asked for our check, the waitress quickly dropped it off at the table and ran off, never to return. I guess if I were charging those prices for that drink quality, I would be embarrassed too! Maybe they figure that by 10:00 on a weeknight, anyone still up and drinking is too drunk to realize what is happening! We ended up leaving some cash on the table and walking out. Â
It looks like the Blue Martini has become just another Las Vegas tourist trap! I wish I could give negative stars!
Blue Martini has really come a long way since they opened years back. Â My friends and I used to LOVE going there for happy hour on Sundays (happy hour is from 4-8 and has half priced drinks and some food).
I love the set-up. Â The huge patio outside makes you feel as if you are not in Las Vegas, and the ceiling fans keep it surprisingly cool.
There is plenty of seating and you are not forced to make a reservation or buy a bottle just to sit down.
The crowd is a good mix of people. Youngin's, grown and sexy, 50+. Â There is a little bit of everything here! Â The DJ is usually good, playing a mix of top 40 and hip hop, with some old school jams thrown in there.
I had some friends in town and we were looking for a more relaxed place to go, where we knew we could sit down, and this was the perfect place.
We swooped in on a table when another group left and immediately got some drinks and a hookah. Â Now, I am a beer drinker, so I just can't justify paying $14 for a fruity martini.....but oh well. Â "When in Rome!" The prices are just a bit outrageous, in my opinion. Â And our server was VERY slow. Â It took at least 20 minutes to get change when I paid, and I had to ask for it. Â The hookah was a great part of the night, although I don't smoke.
Blue Martini served it's purpose - we had a nice, chill evening with a few cocktails and some bumpin music. Â I just don't like having to pay a cover ($5-$10) for a local place and then pay $14 per cocktail, otherwise I may frequent this place more often. Â If you go, just stick to happy hour.
Came here as a third wheel with my best friend and her date. I didn't mind since I am a social butterfly, I had a great time on my own for majority of the time with cool strangers. At first we ordered our drinks and sat down on the outdoor patio before heading inside for some dancing. Decor was lovely, stayed on the patio a lot for the scenic views,met people from all over the world here. Drinks were great, music as well. I'm totally going back when I am back in town.
Review Source:If your industry you get 50 percent off drinks and food...I really enjoy the food....
The drinks are okay...the bartenders are not of high skill and they tend to be messy.....
They don't carry all there liquour so they can't make certain drinks...
But ,...hey the food is awesome.. and the drinks are half off on industry nights...can't hate it...can only appreciate....
A couple of years ago you would have seen a 4 or 5 star rating from me for BM but their shining star has been fading.
The crowd (although fun to people watch) is wearing on me. I only ever see cougars lurking around in the dark or pervy old businessmen trying to hit on the hotties. BM used to give you a nice helping of the drink you ordered. They would fill your glass up when serving you and then leave enough in the cocktail shaker for another full glass. That made it worth paying $12/drink but now you barely get any leftovers. The food is cheesy and expensive. Everything tastes pre-packed and/or frozen. The only app I enjoy there is the fruit platter (at least I know the fruit has to be fresh).
Another gripe- I have to sit outside now because the music is SO loud inside that I can't even have a decent convo with my buddies. Oh and $30 for a hookah that barely smokes for 20-30 minutes....honey please. The worst part? They took my favorite drink off of the menu, the s'mores martini :( BOO!
The only thing that keeps me coming back is my industry card (I get 50% off all drink and apps) and my lady card (which gives me 1 drink for free before 9am). I can use both together so I can usually drink on the cheap. If I am looking for a place to take an out-of-town guest (and I don't feel like hitting up the strip) then we'll normally end up here.
P.S. not counted against their rating - but the valet that's outside of Yard House now charges $5 + tip to valet. It used to be free. What the crap?
We used to come here a lot when they first opened. Great outdoor patio area with some familiar bartender ladies from the strip. Live music, drinks and good happy hour apps. Some nights this place would be crawling with cheesy timeshare salesmen and desperate cougars...sooo NOT cute but makes for some mild entertainment.
Mango Madness martini was good & came in a little shaker, don't fall for $12 blue martini...you're paying for glow stick. Fave apps include ahi, margarita pizza, chicken skewers, not bad for bar food.
Still one of the best happy hours though.
50% off drinks & apps 4-8pm and located in Town Square so you can leave and go somewhere else if you're not feeling the vibe.
Shoutout the the manager, BRANDON!. HI!
My girlfriend and I decided to stop by here for drinks before going out for different birthday parties. It happens to be Wednesday: Ladies Night. wHAAAAAAAAAT. The patio was pretty busy so we grabbed a high top in the bar and ordered some spinach & artichoke dip and the margerita flatbread. It was all very good except I wasn't a fan of the pita bread/chips. Brandon the manager kept checking up on us to make sure everything was great and we did ask him about the pita bread... some were HARD and some were half way soft and hard - which were they suppose to be??! He said they are suppose to be hard, like a pita CHIP. Either way, the consistency in the pita was INCONSISTENT so maybe they should rethink that but the dip itself was delish and we also just used the crust from our flatbread to dip anyway!
I tried a Peach and a Mango martini and they were both delicious!
Every local by now I'm sure would agree that Blue is the ultimate backup, "if all else fails" destination. I give it three starts because there isn't much happening here anymore other than great outdoor seating and decent drink prices (compared to other places in town.) Music is A-okay, crowd is A-okay, atmosphere is upbeat no matter when you go. If you're in the gaming industry and have a Blue Martini card you get 50% off drinks. Can't complain, right?
Blue Martini, spice it up a bit!
The atmosphere was a little pretentious. Â I was only slightly put off by the host who eyed us up trying to find something that didn't comply with their "dress code." Â Shirt...*check*, shoes...*check*, service...um, trying to get there. Â I've stopped being flattered when I'm carded. Â I seriously thought I outgrew the "you look like your 15" faze.
There was more available seating inside that out, so we settled up to the bar. Â Totally fine by me because we had front row seats to the amazing acoustical talents of Jeremy Cornwell and a bartender to tend to our every bar needs. Â
Happy hour, 4-8 pm, included 1/2 off martini's and food specials. Â They had me at martini. Â The skinny Bitch (blueberry inspired) and the Espresso (self-explanatory) were both good and strong...just how I like my martini. Â
Swanky place to kick it for a few hours.
I have been coming here for a few years. I mainly come for a late lunch and hit up their happy hour prices. The staff here is absolutely incredible and the waitresses always get my food order correct.
I love the Skinny Melon Martini on their menu. I feel like I can drink more since it has slightly less of a bump in my diet.
Half-priced martini's and a nice collection of small and medium bites for happy hour, which stretches out way past the norm by ending at 7:30pm. Â BF and I got here around 7pm on a Thursday night and were rudely greeted by what I can only describe as a tool bag at the entrance asking us to get to the back of the line where we could be carded to come in. Once security deemed us old enough to enter, we walked into the patio area to search for a table or seats at the bar. Â It was really nice outside, so this outdoor patio area was hoppin'. Â
After spending 10 minutes repeating what we JUST did in the parking lot (wandering around aimlessly for a spot), we gave up and went inside. Â Inside the restaurant was rather empty so we grabbed a table easily. Â The only problem was that it was FREEZING inside. Â I felt like whatever table we were at, cold air was blowing directly on me. Â We decided to brave it out.
A nice friendly waitress came over and informed us it was still happy hour, to our extreme pleasant surprise. Â He ordered a dirty martini with blue cheese-stuffed olives, and I ordered the Mango Madness. Â Both were okay. Â Mine was a little sweeter than I'd like, and his just wasn't 100%, but we did end up ordering one more each, so they must not have been that bad.
For food, we ordered the margarita flat bread, the sliced sirloin, fruit and cheese plate, and crab cakes.
Let's start with the bad (because I like people to leave my reviews on a good note). Â The crab cakes were super mushy. Â The flavor was mediocre at best, but they just completely fell apart when you went to get a piece of it with your fork. Â It was really more of a crab mush than a crab CAKE. Â The breading was not crispy at all and just didn't add anything to the dish. Â It was served with an orangish drizzle that could have been spicy mayo. Â I think whatever it was, it was the dish's only saving grace because it had a delicious flavor.
The next bad dish was the fruit and cheese plate. Â What a disappointment. Â I'm sorry, but when I order a fruit and cheese plate at a place like Blue Martini, I would expect the cheese to NOT include baby bells. Â There was a slab of goat cheese in the middle, a few squares of swiss, and two baby bells, along with an array of fruit and crackers. Â There was only one strawberry on the plate and it was more green than it was red. Â The whole plate, which was very large, was a complete disappointment and we ended up wasting most of it.
Okay, onto the good. Â The sliced tenderloin plate was so delicious. Â The slices of tenderloin (which is what a filet mignon is cut from) were so tender and juicy. Â The dish came with some rice pilaf and a horseradish sauce. Â All of the flavors combined were perfectly well-balanced and made a delicious dish.
Last, the margarita pizza was amazing. Â So simple and yet so complex. Â The crust was just the right amount of crispy. Â The tomatoes complimented the light but flavorful cheese just right. Â
Our server also brought my BF extra olives for his second martini because she saw me eating them out of his glass. Â She was really sweet, friendly and we never had to wait on her so that was a huge plus. Â If not for her service, I may have given the martini a sad 2-stars.
GF and I went here for date night and we were pretty impressed. Â We ordered a couple of drinks (dirty martini for me, some kind of fruity martini for her) both were very good. Â Not the best I've ever had but by no means bad. Â But they did have olives stuffed with blue cheese which in my opinion is a crucial ingredient for any dirty martini but surprisingly many bars don't have them.
We were really hungry so we ordered a few things to share. Â The beef tenderloin was fantastic. Â We also ordered a cheese plate which was good but honestly it didn't seem like there was much thought put into it. Â There were a few pieces of cheese and some fruit thrown on the plate but we definitely expected a little more. Â The crab cakes were just ok, wouldn't order them again. Â We also ordered a Margherita flat bread which was amazing.
The service was great. Â Waitress was always on the spot, we didn't wait more than a few seconds before she came to get our order. Â She also brought more blue cheese olives for my martini without us even asking which was totally unexpected and a real credit to how great the service was.
Overall, I give it 4 stars but if we didn't have happy hour prices I would have given it 3.
LOCALS JOINT
Out-of-towners visiting Vegas can easily miss out on good bars off the strip since it's so easy to just walk from bar to bar and enjoy the crowds on the street! Â I have a cousin that lives in Vegas and he suggested we meet here for a drink. Â I looked over the menu and a couple of items caught my eye, but we ended up just grabbing a couple Bud Lights ($7.00 ea). Â
Service was great. We sat outside near some heating lamps, which was awesome since there was a cold wind. Â It wasn't until it was almost time to go that we noticed another area (straight ahead when you walk in, rather than to the right, where we were). It was a huge room with two more bars!
The place was pretty empty but I imagine it's very, very fun on the right night! Though, I'd probably bring a flask unless I hit up the long happy hour!
I've been coming here a lot this past year with friends mainly because of it's unbeatable happy hour. I have a lady VIP card and an industry card which entitles you to a free drink and happy hour all the time aside from their normal happy hour times which is from 4-8 pm. So if you're a girl, you must sign up for this incentive!
The food isn't too bad especially at happy hour prices, but I don't think I'd pay for it at normal price. I really really enjoy their lobster salad! It's very light and refreshing yet full of flavor. It has sliced avocados, mango, baby cherry tomatoes, mixed spring, romaine, and iceberg lettuce, and two pieces of lobster. To. Die. For! I also like their spinach and artichoke dip, both of their flatbread choices (margherita & beef tenderloin portobello), beef tenderloin dish, and chicken skewers.
I ordered the baked Brie thinking it would be fantastic. The bread is pretty good, but the cheese for it tasted much too strong. It was brought out with the rest of my appetizers and I was meaning to eat it last which I did, but at that point the cheese seemed like it had hardened so it wasn't that good. The fruit on the plate also was not fresh and made me want to spit it out.
The service is hit or miss depending on the girl's attitude that is serving you that night. Most of them are pretty happy, but there have been instances where my waitress was very unpleasant.
The bands that play are fun most of the time, but I don't generally think of this place as somewhere to go to and dance. It naturally isn't meant for the younger crowd. As some of my friends call it, it is "cougar town"! Haha so watch out younger fellas. Most people that come here come after a long day's work to get a drink with their business peers and whatnot. It can get really loud in here too so it's hard to talk and socialize unless you're sitting outside, which can be a pain to find seating some nights. It can get very crowded! So beware if you don't like busy and noisy places.
Blue Martini has a hard to beat happy hour. 50% off drinks and up to 50% off food everyday from 4-8PM? Yes please!
Unfortunately, all their food is just OK. Â No one ever says, "I'm going to Blue Martini for a great meal." Â Um, no. Â It's always, "Let's go to Blue Martini for Happy Hour!" Yes.
I really like that they have so many martinis and that they have skinny girl martini options. Â My inner skinny girl (she's in here somewhere) is pleased at whatever prospect is available of cutting calories.
As far as live music goes, it's OK. Â Nothing spectacular. Â I've seen a couple cover bands there and they're just OK.
The crowd at Blue Martini is kind of a odd one though. Â Anyone who's been there knows what I mean. Â It's a great spot for people watching though, if that's what you're into. Â Normally, I just go here with a couple girlfriends for happy hour then make our way onto our next destination.
This place has a good reputation, especially among locals...but I feel as if they are taking advantage of that lately. The past few times I've been there the staff has acted pretentious and have been inattentive and downright rude. I took my out-of-town friend here 3 weeks ago because of my good experiences in the past. Immediately, we were convinced our waitress had been drinking alcohol by her bizarre behavior (too long and annoying of a story to type on my iPhone) :/ I was embarrassed that I had taken him there.
Town Square Has many fun and quality restaurants and bars. Blue Martini is at the bottom of my list.
I've been here a few times for their happy hour. They have a good HH menu selection and the dishes are good, although I'll pass on their flatbread pizza. Â The wine by the glass is reasonably priced as are some of their bottles. Â I also had their namesake, blue martini drink, although I don't recall it being particularly good. Â
This place is more where the locals hang out as it is not on the strip.  It tends to be busy here, but I've managed to find a table every time. The music is also loud, so it's not the ideal place to be if  you're looking to have some enlightening conversations. Dress is casual, but of course, this is Vegas, and some people like to dress up to go out.
This is a great place if you are not looking to go to a club but want good music, good drinks and want to smoke some hookah! Â
Service is always on top of their game! Â They see a drink low, they come ask if you want more and they deliver fast! Â They are a little overpriced and the drinks arent that strong, but thats usually the case for anyplace you go. They have an outdoor bar and an indoor bar. Â If you are indoor, sometimes you are lucky enough to get to see live music! Â They had a great band that played some awesome tunes. Â The hookah is $30, I think that is a little over priced, I usually you only pay about $20.
Blue Martini was one of many stops during an evening of catching up with an old roommate. Said roommate needed to charge her phone and this was one of the only places that was happy to make that happen.
We sat outside on the patio and perused the menu on the table. It consisted mostly of drinks, with a few "light bites" listed as well. Much to my chagrin, there are no beers listed on this menu. Obviously, there are a million martinis to choose from, along with a good selection of wines and champagnes, but no beer! There is beer available, but you have to torture your waitress by making her list beers by memory. My roommate highly recommends the Cake Pop martini, should you be so inclined.
Anyway, the service was great. The waitress appeared when we needed her, but understood that we were in the middle of a serious chat session. The only real downside in our experience: the heaters on the patio really don't help. I think they're more for show than anything else.
Soon after moving to Vegas Blue became a favorite place - great staff, fun drinks, and all in all a good time. Last year when friends started to dislike going here, I stayed faithful because to me it was still fun. I used to go at least once a week, more like 3-4.
However, I went on a Thursday a couple weeks ago and if given a choice, I will probably never be back!
Cons: The crowd and the staff have changed ... bartenders and wait staff are rude, managers are obnoxious, the food mediocre at best, the drinks are Thursday night band sucks. Unless a close friend has something here, I unfortunately won't be back.
Pros: It was nice going where they know my name, it's off the strip, bouncers and girls at the front are always very nice and easy to talk to, Leah (sp?) especially - she is so sweet. If there is a problem the bouncers handle it respectfully.
This place used to be really great, like 5-6 years ago, when it first opened. It was the spot. My friends and I would be here every night we wanted to go out (if we weren't at the nightclubs on The Strip). Especially since they offered Hospitality cards - if you work in the "Industry," you present this card, outside of Happy Hour, and you receive a wristband that provides you with an instant 50% discount on drinks and food. Fabulous. The martinis are fun and, for the most part, delicious. The food isn't bad either. Most nights, the music was decent and dancing in the area near the stage was fun. Now, the crowd has certainly changed (or maybe my friends and I have changed?) and it's just not our scene anymore. The problem is that I don't think it's much of anyone's "scene" either.
The service has been spotty as well. One stand-out experience that halted my visits for a long time, occurred on St. Patrick's Day in 2009. A particular bartender was unnecessarily rude and implied that I was going to leave the lounge without paying my bill by coming out from behing the bar and standing next to me the whole time we were paying. My friends and I were at the SAME table next to the bar for a couple hours and we didn't say or do anything that would have indicated anything! I have never been treated with such disrespect at any establishment as that day. I've been just a few times since then and it's been just okay. I'm not sure what makes all the employees think they're too good for their jobs and better than all their patrons, but it is beyond me.
I think this is where the locals go to avoid the out of town  "whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" crowd for some drinks and dancing, though the dance floor is small. They have live music and go go dancers some nights and are always creative about it.
Drinks are about $10 each. My favorite is the mango one. I forget what it's called, but it's quite tasty and hits you when you least expect it.
Man... there are a LOT of cougars here. Like the over 30 type, with heavy makeup, and that creepy "cougar stare". The one that lets you know inside, that to them, your fine young ass is prey...
If you talk to them, notice how they have a pause between each statement, comment, or question that they tell you. They are cautiously calculating what to say, because they got missile lock on you.
Wednesdays is Ladies Night, which is prime cougaring hunting grounds. And then there is Thursdays Latin Night, there is a small drop on the cougar population, but remember, travel in a pack to avoid getting pounced on.
They provide industry discounts for retail employees on The Strip, or restaurant employees with their health cards. 50% off all drinks and a few dishes. Show the bartender your wristband that you got from the hostess.
I recommend the PB & J Cocktail from this one guy that works here. He adds a bit of salt to bring out the flavor of the peanut butter. Thats probably the most unique drink I remembered seeing on the menu.
The drivers in the Town Square Parking Lot are terrible. They don't check their mirrors before backing up, or they will do turns that are too sharp that can clip your car, etc. And we are talking about hours right past 10PM. It's a rats nest of shitty drivers in this shopping area. I'd rather take my car to the valet.
I've been here on a few occasions, but mostly ordering the same things...
FOOD:
"Veggie sliders" -Roasted corn, Red bell peppers, Portabello mushrooms, Avocado, Pesto, on wheat buns.
DRINKS:
"Masterpiece Bleu" -Vodka, blue cheese stuffed olives [strong, but not very smooth]
"Down and Dirty" -Vodka, olive juice, olives [strong, but not enough olive juice]
(tried once)
"Three Chocolates" -Vodka, Godiva liqueur, White & Dark chocolate swirls [sweet drink, good for dessert]
"Blue Martini" -Vodka, Blue curacao, juices [weak sauce, not strong at all, just PASS]
TASTE: **** [Veggie sliders were tasty & deelish! ...the sweet red bell pepper paste went well with the veggie patty, not dry at all! Â ...and I'm definitely a vodka martini gal. Â Heavy pours on the vodka with the extra given on the side... ]
CONVENIENCE: **** [located on the 2nd floor in the Town Square Mall.]
AMBIANCE: **** [Good music, lowly lit, outdoor patio with heaters or bar area.]
SERVICE: *** [It's a hit or miss, but at least acceptable.]
PRICE: Â $$ [1/2 off martinis & food at Happy Hour 5-8pm]
OVERALL: **** [4-stars.... good ambiance, decent prices, FUN for groups, but it's a hit-or-miss on drinks and service... For what it offers, I'm still a fan tho!]
I wouldn't come here unless it's during HH, cuz if I had to pay regular price for the food & drinks, I might as well just head to the strip.
Nuff said.
Blue Martini is where you go when you want to go to a club but you don't want to get that dressed up or go through the hassle of having to wait in line and what not... It's a perfect place for a girl's night out or a little birthday gathering ~
I really like the fact that they have multiple bars & different areas to sit. They also offer hookah on their patio area!
There drinks are a little pricey but they have happy hour until 8 everyday!!! All of their "skinny" drinks are so yummy! And their chicken skewers are delicious and moist!!! Wednesdays are great for ladies Happy Hour ALL night and they usually comp a bottle of champagne to groups of 6 or more ladies! Shout out to JayRay A. who is a great VIP host!!!
Hot Tip: if you work in the hospitality industry bring a pay stub and get a VIP Blue card which gives you half off of drinks & apps when it's not Happy Hour! Meaning... Don't ever pay full price!!!!! Yay~
I think your experience will really depend on the day you come as well as the type of crowd that you're going to hit up when you visit. It can be fun to visit with a group of friends, but it gets crowded and super loud real quick. It's not really a place that you can just chill at for a long time unless you can stand on your feet for long periods of time, or you really enjoy being in a crowd.
Food and drink wise, nothing that stands out, but nothing sucks. Â I would go with one of the namesake martinis and peruse around the outdoor seating area. Â I would also suggest going during happy hour, but we all know what that entails...overcrowding, mediocrity, and lots of cougars.. jk... sort of :P
When I first moved out here, I would say that I was here on average of every other week. Â Obviously came for the drinks, ambiance, and sometimes their food. Â But keep in mind, food here is basically appetizers. Â I have to admit, their seared Ahi is too legit to quit.
My last time here was Halloween this year. Â I had to pay $20 to get in while my friends only had to pay $10 (ladies got it good). Â Regardless, not use to having to pay to get in, but I guess that's Hello Ween for you. Â Place was packed as expected inside and out. Â Everyone was in costumes and after a couple of drinks, it got a bit old. Â
Drinks are fairly cheap considering...far cheaper than a club or a gentleman's club. Â I use to come here prior to hitting the strip just because their drinks are cheaper. Â One note though, sometimes their drinks are watered down. Â Let them know, and they'll take care of it. Â Just don't forget to tip.
I don't frequent this place as much as I did about a year ago, but it's a nice visit every once in awhile. Â Place is usually locals, but I do recommend for tourist. Â A nice change for sure.
My major complaint about this place is how expensive it is. Happy hour is the only time I would patronize this place, because the entire drink menu is half price. Outside of happy hour, this place charges Strip prices, and it's not even on The Strip! Martinis each cost $12.50. $8 for a 12-ounce bottle of Blue Moon beer is outrageous! I can get a six-pack for the same price at a store.
What is even worse is the fact that they give out special "VIP" cards to folks who work in the "service industry." This card allows the person to enjoy happy hour pricing any time. I have two friends, neither of whom work in the "service industry," yet somehow they each got one of these cards.
Even if I was able to obtain one of these cards for myself, I would still dislike this business practice of arbitrarily giving preferential treatment to some customers, while everyone else has to pay full price. The same goes for "ladies night." Patronizing  such a business is not something I would be proud of.
As if price gouging with drinks wasn't enough, this place has a cover charge after 11 pm on busy nights. This high-end place is just not a cost-effective option for someone on a budget. Also, it doesn't make sense for locals to pay tourist prices, especially at a place that is not even on The Strip.
When it comes to the DJ, the music is too loud to comfortably have a conversation indoors. Furthermore, it is purely nightclub music, which gets monotonous.
Another thing I don't like is how the indoor area is regularly closed for private parties, while everyone else is restricted to the outdoor area. This isn't so bad in nice weather. However, a friend and I came here on Valentine's Day, for example, only to discover that the indoors was closed for a private party. Consequently, we had to tolerate the cold weather in the outside area. At the very least, closures should be advertised on the website and social media for Blue Martini.
Did somebody say martins???
OH YEAHHH!!!
Seriously, if you're in Vegas and you don't mind being off strip and you love yourself a fun foo foo drink, COME HERE!
Located in Town Square plaza not too far from the strip, my friends and I came here after deciding we didn't want to deal with the strip and just wanted to be one of the locals. My girlfriend and her boyfriend live in Vegas after all, so we were pretty much half way there.
HH here is amazinggg!! Half off cocktails, which still puts your cocktails anywhere from $6-7 bucks, but so very worth it! I ordered a different martini every time and loved everything I drank. Tried everything my friends ordered and loved theirs too! You seriously, can't go wrong. I fell in love with Blue Martini. Their drinks are fun, delicious and will definitely have you feeling good.
Servers aren't attentive as I like, but they weren't too bad. This venue is a pretty decent size. They have 3 bars, 1 which is located outside. You can hookah outside and their patio is a wrap around so it's pretty big. There was a band at the beginning of the night but as it progress they had a DJ. Small dance floor but it still had a very good energy.
I'm definitely coming back. Â I mean, I don't know many other places that make martinis this good. My favorite martini was the Down & Dirty. If you're a dirty martini fan, you're going to love this. Make sure to ask for bleu cheese stuffed olives. Yummmm!!!
Womp womp womp. This place is a such a downer - I have no idea why people come here and why it is so, so packed all the time. It must be their awesome discounts for people in the industry. I am not a casino worker and I am not down with paying $12 for a teeny watered down beverage.
I have come to BM a few times before my last trip for my friend's birthday party and I have never been impressed. As many others here have pointed out - the place is for cooooougars and men who wish to prowl on divorcees. Other people you may find here - groups of girls who come for happy hour and leave before being hit on by sleez-os trying to dance up on them on the tiny dance floor. Lots of single dudes. Single dudes standing around in a martini bar....
Anyway - my friend had her birthday here on "Latin Night". We wanted a table in the back, but didn't get one because they said they weren't going to open the bar in the back. So, my friend - pissed by the way - agreed to be sat up toward the front, in much less nice seating. They shoved our 10 person party in space meant for about six and promised us we could have the table next to us as soon as the two cradle robbers at that table left. Right. *rolls eyes* I've been to a lot of clubs/bars in Vegas and I've been around a lot of promoters and I even did a stint of promoting myself. That right there is just crap service. Especially to locals.
Let me also point out the fact that our waitress never came by to fill our drinks. I get it, it's busy, whatever. There was a table full frat-hats next to us, whom she was serving, but come on. You can't even come around once after the first time to refill drinks? I've been in PACKED clubs and I've had my drink refilled by the waitress many, many times during the course of a night.
Sorry, maybe call me spoiled by my desire to actually have bottle service when you're paying for BOTTLE SERVICE. If you're going to offer the option, and people are going to pay for the bottles - then step it up and do it.
Overall - I never have any intentions of returning to BM, unless I'm invited to another birthday party.
