In Short – The former Foodtek restaurant has evolved into a trendy Old City nightspot with a trendy fusion menu and a sizeable collection of wall-mounted sculpture. Blue lighting bathes the bar and nearby booths in an arctic glow, while loud funk and disco provide the siren call for heat-seeking patrons. As to the menu, dishes range from lobster with foie gras and fig molasses to chili-charred filet mignon. Cocktails are de rigueur.

Editor's Tips

What To Drink:
You can pay tribute to the titular '50s cocktail with an array of variations. Especially inviting are the Soprano made with sambuca, the Mintini made with mint schnapps, and the Flirtini made with champagne.
The Extras:
For those who want to pay for the privilege of pouring, bottle service is available.

Great food & service, we recommend!

by shouldbe132 at Citysearch

So we went to 2 places b/f going here but those places did not have Coors Light so we left,but Blue Martini did so we stayed. We got dinner. I got thefilet & my b/f got a huge burger. The food's presentation was beautiful. The waitress Amanda besides being very pretty, was very attentive without being annoying. I got a martini & for $10 it was well worth the price. They put alot of liquor in them you can def. taste it. I wanted a specific drink & could not rem. the 1 ingredient so our waitress was like i'll check with the bartender & they easily figured it out, yeah! Dinner for 2, 2 beers, 1 martini & a vodka drink was $98.85 plus a $20.00 tip. I like the dark setting with blue lights. I would def. go again during the week. The only reason I did nto give it 5 stars was b/c of the shot girl making her way around the room and two our table twice asking if we wanted to buy shots from a tube. That was tacky. I recommend this place especially for dinner.

Great night

by dowork58 at Citysearch

Had a great night in old city two weeks ago! Had been to Bleu Martini in the past but not in a while so we decided to stop in. The place was packed with smoking hot girls with curves, just the way I like so we decided to ball out and get a bottle and try to get some of those girls to party with us.

It worked we went back to VIP and partyed like rock stars and my party of 4 dudes all either got number or were making out with a girl all nite. I never knew they had a downstairs VIP which was really nice as well. The bottles were priced well, starting at 150 which isnt bad, I payed 480 once for a bottle of kettle 1 in Vegas.

The bottle server, Jill or Jess was great, very sexy and fun to hangout with. I met one of the managers, Audie, a tall guy with a high and tight who was mad cool. He was very helpful and brought us the girls into VIP that we ended up spending the night with.

Overall Great night! Will be back soon!

Horrible!!!!!

by DO NOT GO at Citysearch

I made a reservation at Bleu Martini for my sister's bachelorette party this past Saturday. We rented a limo to take us (since we are an hour and a half away). We had a party of 16 people. The place was not what I thought it would be at all! They took us to our table and it was a tiny little room with couches and stupid little tables that were in the way. The place was so small, there was no room to dance or even move. You basically could only talk to the person that was sitting/standing next to you. The lady I made the reservation with said there was a dance floor but I sure didn't see one! The waitress came over and took our drink order, but it took her FOREVER to bring us the drinks!! People didn't want to wait any more (after already waiting 20 minutes) so they just kept going up to the bar to get their own drinks. Then my sister (the bachelorette) stumbled on the side walk outside and the bouncers would not even let her back in! We were planning on leaving anyway since we all hated the place. So after being there for 45 minutes or an hour, we left. It was a horrible experience and a waste of time. We had way more fun in the limo! The only recommendation I would make, is to find another place to go to in Philly!

  • Cons: NO ROOM & BAD SERVICE!

STAY AWAY!!!!

by c t at Citysearch

This place is the absolute worst!!! Rudest and most arrogant bar staff, hostess, doorman, management, kitchen staff anywhere (except for the bathroom attendant Naomi who is a doll). They have no idea how to treat a paying customer. The food is horrible and somehow, even the waaaaaay overpriced drinks are just bad. Martini's went out about 8 years ago guys. Get with it! The decor is disgusting 80's flashback crap and everything in the place is dirty and sticky. Yuck!!! What's with the "Reserved" signs on every table when you walk in the door??? Especially during happy hour on a weeknight when the place is empty?!?!? Are you trying to impress us, or just trying to chase everyone away? Who do you have to be to get a table here? Scarface??? Do yourself a huge favor and stay far, far, far away from this place. Spread the word. Maybe if we all steer clear, they'll go out of business and we'll be rid of this garbage dump. Good riddance!!! We don't need your thug arrogance in Philly!!!!!

  • Pros: absolutely nothing
  • Cons: everything
