You won't score a full meal here, just a chance to sip high-end cocktails while rubbing elbows with other beautiful party people. A small, classy space, the Blue Martini offers drinks and nibbles along with live music. Liquor is the main focus: A lengthy martini menu includes such incarnations as Up All Night (a splash of Red Bull provides the "up"), the Purple Passion (Chambord dominates) and the namesake Blue Martini (a splash of Blue Curacoa provides the vibrant blue hue.) A better-than-usual wine list and cigar selection ups the swank factor.

All that imbibing requires the steadying influence of food. The menu offers platter after platter of noshes from the familiar (fruit and seasonal fruit plate) to the sublime (seared tuna sashimi) to the suspicious-sounding (smoked rainbow trout dip, a reputed patron favorite.) This a grown-up place delivers an environment conducive to conversation, not really a pick-up spot but more a place to network with other up-and-coming singles and couples. Blue Martini has a dress code of sorts (a plaque declares "fashionable attire only"), so dress to impress. -- Lisa Galloway

  • Lousy service

    the service is horrible, the bar is overpriced but unfortunately it's the only good live music spot in Tampa. Wow the crowd sure has changed used to be a nice upscale business clientele now it's turned into a shirt tail out hoodie place. I'm gone by 9pm thats when the crowd changes.

    Too expensive and stuffy. Ghetto towards the end of the night.

    Great nightspot for the elite crowd. Wonderful appetizer menu. Excellent martinis. Expensive is only relative.

    great drinks, real "party" atmosphere, mostly "yuppie" type clientele. A bit overpriced, but a great place overall! :)
