Bleu Martini

04/21/2008 Posted by phillysucks

If you are Caucasion, do not go here. Several of us went here for a bachelor party and we were thrown out by the 2 big dumb African American bouncers. I do not dislike other races, by no means but the first big dumb bouncer told us we weren't allowed to stand in the walk way. So we listened to him and found some place else to stand. Evidently, we were standing in another walk way. We listened to the retards again and found some place else to stand. As we were making our way to another spot, the steroid taking African American bouncer pushed me into my friend and cussed at us and told us to move. I turned back to him and said that we are trying to move but there were other African's dancing in the so-called "walk way" but the bouncer alowed them. So he eventually pushed us to the front of the bar where we found a spot for about 2 minutes. Then the short and fat African bouncer told us we can't stand there. At this time, we were annoyed and simply asked him where can we stand. Maybe he didn't understand our politeness and maybe he only spoke ebonics? I don't know. But he cussed at us and told us to leave. We asked why and he just pushed us out the door. My friend tried to go back in and give the fat bouncer a peice of his mind but I convinced him to not waste his time. Those guys are bouncers because they can't make themselves into anhything better than that. They will continue to be fat and make $6.00 and hour because that's all they know how to do. I am glad I do not live in Philly. I would be embarrased to tell anyone I lived in Philly because it's so dirty. This is why everyone else in PA considers Philly as a "whole other state"

This place is so pompous and up-tight for a crappy little martini bar. We grabbed a table that suddenly became reserved after we sat, then were forced to go with the hostess to find another one and then were directed back to the original table we were at and told that we had one hour before the party was going to arrive. We had already bought drinks at the bar, but were planning on ordering more. The waitress asked us twice if we were ready and I told her that as soon as my two friends returned from the restroom, we'd order another round. She gave us a dirty look and then we were told by the hostess that the party was arriving and we would have to move, but we had only been sitting for 20 minutes. Gimme a break sweetheart, not everybody wants to buy an overpriced bottle of liquor just to sit at a table. That doesn't mean we won't buy a heck of lot more and leave a great tip. The place was way too small and way too loud. I was offended by the treatment and won't be back.

i made an early reservation on a friday evening and arrived at the restaurant slightly before the scheduled time. i was seated next to my friend at a table the size of a pizza and was told we had to sit right next to each other, since all the other tables with seating for two had been reserved. we explained that we too had made a reservation, so could we please sit at a table with two chairs? the hostess told us that "like, the computer made the seating arrangements, so there was really nothing i could do." side note: we were the only two people in the restaurant. our options were to share a plush bench wide enough for 1.5 people at an immovable table equipped to hold a saucer and maybe one drink or leave. does the computer run the whole restaurant? we did not stay to find out

Pros: close to many other restaurants

Cons: incapable, unaccomodating staff

i've been here twice...the first time was with a bunch of friends..and we took over a corner of the bar and made it a dance floor...the second time was with a girlfriend for a drink and food before salsa dancing. both times i enjoyed myself...and the bleu martini and the flirtini...but i wish there was more space for dancing, because the music was good. but with no cover i will definately return for the drinks and the atmosphere.

Pros: great drinks, trendy atmosphere

Cons: too small no real dance floor

I went to Bleu Martini for one of their Wednesday charity happy hours with my friends and after each trying a different martini, we ended up ordering food. The food was really good and we had a great time. I highly recommend checking out Bleu Martini if you have not already been there.

I absolutely loved Bleu Martini, and that's alot coming from someone as picky as me. My friends and I usually do the Rittenhouse scene on the weekends, but we decided to switch it up for a change, and headed down to Old City. Everyone at Bleu is nice as hell - from the bouncer to our waitress, they made sure we were well taken care of. It wasn't too crowded, but definitely a good amount of people. Loved, loved, loved the flirtini drink w/champagne. I loved the flat screen tv's allowing me to watch reruns of My Super Sweet Sixteen while listening to Beyonce in the background! The spring rolls were great. Did I mention I loved the flirtini?

Pros: ambience, great staff, great variety of food

Cons: parking

This is one of my favorite places to go in the city. The martini menu is so fun and there is always great music and really fun people

We had a terrible experience at bleu martini. For starters, it cost way too much to get in when they were not even busy. Second, unless you are lucky enough to get a seat at the bar, there is no comfortable room to stand. But the worst part about the place is how rude and disrespectful their staff is. The bouncers talk down to you and the servers ignore you. A total disappointment and waste of time.

The place is whack , the service is horrible, the workesr are so cocky and think there better than everyone because they work there, also the music is the same repeat every weekend, and the bouncer's a player, beware ladies.

Drinks are not strong at all. I have the same drinks at other places and they test better. Food is not good at all. horrible. I requested for medium Burger but i got warm burned burger instead. Sushi was poor quality. hardly anything in it I see only rice. the waitress spilled soysauce all over sushi so it was salty and soaked sushi. will not go there againl. food is over priced.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Drinks, food
