Reader Reviews of Shaken Martini Lounge
Sleezy Does Not Equal Sexy.

Shaken Martini Bar seems to be suffering from a personality complex. On the one hand the interior looks much like the wine bar that occupied it beforehand - impressionist paintings on the distressed walls, a fireplace and one or two arty lights. On the other it looks as though a fraternity has moved in - a flat screen tv plays sports or macho movies, an illuminated fridge of energy drinks sits prominently in one corner and above all, someone with a fanatical regard for James Bond moves and their misogynistic female characters but a scant knowledge of graphic design principles has created the menus. Apart from the fairly objectionable pictures, these menus are also very hard to decipher - there is so much back story to every drink that it's hard to find the drinks at all. The drinks themselves - mostly martinis of course - are nothing very special. A cosmopolitan was rather weak, a 'whiskytini' (house bourbon, oj and ginger ale) was a little lackluster - not nearly spicy enough for my taste. On the night of my visit a duo were playing live music and seemed to be trying to shout down the conversations the clientele were trying to have, despite the music, the one getting louder and louder as the other became more and more shouty. All in all, this place does not really fit with the neighborhood and though it seems to be striving for classy and sexy, it's achieving pretty sleezy and missing the mark by quite a bit.

What You Think:

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.

  6. BarFly staff may choose to break these rules at their own discretion.

  7. Shills WILL be publicly outed. By clicking submit, you authorize us to release details about your review(s), including your IP address, email, name, and any other contact info if we feel you have abused our website.
