My uncle used to review movies for his local newspaper and he told me his philosophy was a bit different than most other reviewers. He said he was more concerned with weather or not the film delivered based on how it was marketed. For example, if it was billed as a horror movie, does it matter more if the acting was great or if it scared the audience? However, if the movie is about a handicapped nun with one leg living in the Ukraine, the acting sure as hell better be great. I feel like my review of Blue Martini should be based on this same philosophy. It's not my cup of tea, but if you are into that scene, it certainly fits the bill. So I will base my review on the premise that Blue Martini is marketed as a singles bar more so than a fine dining establishment. First thing I noticed, the wait staff was beautiful. Our particular server could easily fill in for one of the Kardashian sisters. There was one capable cover band early on, and later in the evening an absolutely fantastic band came on stage. The "Bandaleros" caught me completely by surprise. They were great. The bathroom attendant seemed to have a top shelf variety of gum, cologne, and I just love those clean white terry towels to dry off my hands. There were a bevy of decent looking women. And you know what, most of them appeared to be having a great time. Many were dancing and showing off their wonderful white smiles, particularly after the Bandaleros showed up. No love connection for me, but I'm sure many patrons in attendance on this evening succeeded in that capacity. I did not eat, but everyone else at the table seemed to be enjoying their happy hour apps. My biggest complaint came from the bar. I ordered a rum and coke, and the glass that it came in was the smallest rocks glass I have ever seen. It was more of a tumbler/shot glass. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't worried about price. I have no problem going to a nice place and paying 8-10 bucks for a cocktail, but please don't make me order another round every 5 minutes! Needless to say, I was ordering tall doubles for the remainder of the evening. I may not be back anytime soon, but I would recommend this bar to anyone who is looking to have a good time with friends, dance, meet a special someone, and if your in the neighborhood (middle of the desert) You will surely find what you are looking for at Blue Martini.

Friends and I went here this past Friday on a quickie SF trip. It had multiple rooms playing different type of music. Upstairs, it was really spacious. Not a lot of people hung around this area. So we decided to buy all our drinks here. Pretty decent priced drinks! The bartender poured strong drinks, except for this gahhd awful Long Island Iced Tea. Even after four shots of captain, a shot of Don Julio, a drink of Gin & Tonic, I could NOT drink that Long Island. Even with drunken taste buds. . I still couldn't do it!! Left his horrible after taste! We weren't really digging the music so we went downstairs. I was not impressed with the downstairs level. It literally reminded me of a basement. It was hot. The bathrooms were filthy - toilet paper & urine everywhere. And it was cramped. Grosssss!! Even after all these concerns, I gave one extra star just because I had good company and they helped me get passed this club's downfalls. I'm not sure if I would ever visit this place again. . .if ever I visit San Francisco again.
