Editorial Review for Blue Martini – by Jacklyn V. Melton

In Short
Sleek tables and curving bars sweep around an elevated stage that features live music nightly. Although best known for the more than 20 varieties of 10-ounce martinis (presented with a stainless-steel shaker containing the rest of your cocktail), the joint also offers more casual libations like beer and wine. An extensive tapas menu includes seared tuna in a sesame-seaweed salad and chilled beef tenderloin medallions with horseradish sauce.

User Reviews for Blue Martini

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The Blue Martini is Tampa's place to hang out for drinks and fun. I have been going over 4 years now and I am hooked on Blue. The service is excellent, the crowd after 11 is a blast, they have live music Monday through Saturday, and the food is great (try the seared tuna or sliced beef tenderloin). The bartenders are the best in the business - they will take care of you. The cocktail waitresses, bar-backs, and even the security staff, are all customer friendly. Check the band schedule and watch for The Knot as they are the best that play there (R&B style music). If you are a non-smoker, be prepared, as smoking is allowed in this club!!

Pros: Service

Cons: smoke

I have mixed reviews for the blue martini, upbeat fun environment, commercial bands, drinks are too expensive. I really dont like the fact that whenever I go in there it seems much more of a pickup bar than a classy establishment. Very smoky inside. I would say good for men or women that want to get some or a sexually transmitted disease

Live music spills out onto the outside patio to surround a crowd dressed to the nines, sipping huge specialty martinis.  See the full editorial review.
