Martini Blu Bar & Cafe

The prices can’t be beat! $ 7.50 for a tini and $ 5 bucks for the specials. My problem is they had two birthdays that they knew about. As half the bar was reserved and they had one bartender and one server! Really. There was more th

Stopped in here after a wedding. It doesn’t look like much from the outside. Quite frankly, it doesn’t look like much from the inside. I am always hesitant to enter a strip mall bar.

Obviously they have martinis on the menu. In fact, they boast a selection of 75 plus versions. They also have standard spirits and beers. With such a huge selection, I nearly passed on the $ 10 drink and got a beer. But then again, when in Rome do as the Romans. So I ordered a «Sean Connery» but they couldn’t make it because one of the ingredients was not in stock. Nevertheless, I found something else to order. Six martinis later and I was rocked. The waitress was cute and friendly.
This is a dark bar with loud music and an unusual crowd. They had a DJ who seemed to be right out of Warsaw but given the Greek ownership I’m guessing Athens. There are flat screens throughout which broadcast videos synched with the music. Sometimes people would get up and dance. I saw young guys, old guys, lesbians, Gothic girls, business types, etc. Results? I had a great time.
Give this place a chance. I think you’ll have a good time.
