I LOVE this place!!! i have been here multiple times and it never disappoints. tonight we got caramel apple and the life is good martinis. i dont like cucumber so life is good was not my thing, (but my gf adores this drink.) the caramel apple was to die for!!! really hits the spot on a chilly fall night. they seal their containers with care, and make sure to add in all the ingredients needed for take out items.not to mention, the younger lady who brought out our drinks ( i believe she said her name was alex) was super sweet and friendly, and explained our order to us! she even took the time to tell us about their raffle special they have going on, which we would absolutely LOVE to participate in!thank you martini room always for the friendly customer service and amazing drinks! we love you guys!

Staff was super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was interesting. A bit more clubby than I was expecting. The music was good but a little loud. Kinda hard to hold a conversation after awhile. Martinis were delicious, not very strong but tasty. Also tried a margarita and it was a bit too sweet.

Excellent place to go try a bunch of different martinis! We had gone on a Wednesday for their flight special. They have plenty of seating and couches to lounge on. It was a bit dark on the inside and the reminiscent smell of smoke was permeating the room. Other than that, our bartender was friendly and their prices were reasonable!

The atmosphere was casual, prices were very reasonable ...I loved the brick decorMan..... The DJ was spot on with great music, our server was very considerate with awesome suggestions... the couches were comfy---but you can sit at the bar or at high tables if you prefer. Their restrooms were spacious and clean. I liked that it was not too packed and the crowd was mellow. Chillaxed...We had a great time and you will too!

Good drinks. Chill place. Wish they have food-even just bar food stuff. Their martinis are the best Ive had so far.

The best little lounge with great martinis and great bartenders, in a very chill atmosphere. Best nights to go are Wednesdays (for the $15 flights) and Thursdays (for the $6 martinis) later in the evening if youre the type thats not into crowds.

Review №26

Decent martinis, but, thats all they have going for them. Overpriced, music is too loud, staff is non existent even when not many people are in there, no food is sold and the staff seems to take one look at the people they are serving and judge them immediately. Wont be back.

Super cute. Super fun girls night. A nice wed night martini flight deal. Great mix of people. One staff member was a little pushy on the checks, in a really weird way. Will most like try it again.

It was a very good experience. I said if one of the couches that were super comfy. I dont remember our servers name. Tall guy long hair, super nice super attentive definitely on his game. Great personality. We will definitely be coming back.Came back again for a friends birthday and the experience was even better! The server remembered me, even though it was more than a month since my first visit and he was fun, helpful and entertaining! We had more fun than we should have, haha!Thank you for your consistently awesome service!

We have been here twice in the last 2 years. We went back because our first experience was enjoyable. The atmosphere here is wonderful. The art on that is display, which is for sale, adds a little flare to what could be a very dull wall. The service was quick and friendly.

In town on business, found this place and was intrigued. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the artwork that adorned the walls by local artists pulled the room together. Had a great time and the martinis were fantastic. The bartender and bar back were very conversational and welcoming. Definitely will visit again!

I was Leary at first because of there pricing. I am not even a martini guy nor is my wife. as soon as we walked in it was a cool experience. They had decent live music with really cool seating and an atmosphere that was very fun. The server forgot to serve us after we ordered (he was handling a lot more then I assume was expected). But he made up with it by being very sencier and correcting it not only by taking care of us immediately. But was also beyond fun and truthful about it. I dont even drink martinis, but by gollie I wish I had a DD for the night. I now enjoy martinis (so far from them only). AND the list of them was crazy. They managed to turn us into martini people. That is quite an accomplishment. I would come back in a heart beat and so would everyone I brought. Kudos

Review №47

Nice ambiance. Converted warehouse/beatnik sort of vibe. Decent selection. What I didnt like, was the rather impersonal staff, the time it took them to notice me (even though there were not many customers), or the FREEZING cold bathroom. Seriously, it was probably 50 degrees back there.

If I could leave zero stars I would.Me and my friends came for 4 drinks each. She cut us off for no apparent reason. I’ve been going to bars for 10 years and I have never been cut off.This is ridiculous and I will never be coming back here ever again.10 years! And this lady decided to cut us off for no reason. Don’t come to this place if you’re trying to have a good time. PLEASE DONT COME.

Legendary service here. Sat down and some bus boy with in a cheap tuopee barks at us to take off our baseball hats. Bolted right out and went where my cap and my fat wallet is welcomed. Dont generalize your customers with some of the local riff raff.

I think Martini Room has amazing, tasteful cocktail selection. If thats your 1st time, ask bartender/server for help, suggestion. There is always Martini of The Month served for a special price. Wednesdays are Martini Flights.This is more a lounge rather than a typical bar - you might like couch sections. Love the ambiance of the place: lots of art, nice old brick wall, beautiful ceiling.

Review №90

I really enjoy this bar. The staff is super friendly and will accommodate a lot if you are reapectful. The ambience is really chill with their lounge style seating, low lit but colorful lighting, and slightly retro decor. As the name suggests, this bar specializes in vodka and gin based cocktails and they have several specialties that shine through. I personally prefer their gin based drinks and whole heartedly recommend the Giggle Flapper and the Smoking Gun. The drink prices are typical for a cocktail bar and can get a bit pricey if you are paying for multiple people. Overall, if you have a group of friends that want a slightly more upscale bar, this is the place to be. I feel like it should be busier than I usually see it (Saturday nights).
