Super cool place with a great bartender that worked her tail off! Huge drink menu with so many martinis and drinks that it's almost impossible to make a choice. The Baskin Robbin's of Martini Bars! Great music (that goes with a speakeasy type setting), great vibe and fun bartender. Will be back! read more

I was in Appleton for a brief time and was looking for a place with a good martini. This was the first place that came up in my Google search. The atmosphere is great. It's like an old school jazz lounge. The martinis are between $10.75 and $14. They have basically any martini you can think of. I ended up getting a downtown cosmopolitan. Drinks took a bit of time to get because there were only two bartenders and it was a busy Saturday night. read more

Always a pleasure visiting Deja Vu! The drink selection is impressive. Love me a Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini and Oatmeal Cookie. We buy a few to try a few! The band is always so entertaining. I have yet to have a bad Bartender. They know what they are doing and enjoying entertaining. Keep up the great work! read more

Super fun and delicious! This place had such a fun, old classy vibe. Even on a quiet evening we enjoyed our time here. We love lemon drops and these here were some of the best we had. We also took the recommendation of a regular and the Grasshopper literally tasted like mint chocolate chip ice cream-delicious! The gentleman who served us was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. We're not from Wisconsin, but I'd definitely come back here if I ever found myself in the area again! read more

I absolutely love coming here! The martinis are very good. They have a long menu so everyone will find something they like! My favorite martini is the white chocolate raspberry. The martinis range from $11 to $12.50. On nights where there is a show was the PAC it will be sooo busy. So if you want to come in for the first time, check shows to make sure there is not a show that night. ***However, the Money Bar upstairs is terrible. I have gone there once. The group I was with all ordered different drinks. I got the Pina Colada, it was awful. It tasted like straight rum with no flavor, no coconut, no pineapple. The strawberry daiquiri tasted like a slushy. When we went to go talk to the bartender she said "Well that is the recipe". We all felt like we were on a prank tv show. It was so bad we thought it was a joke. 0 stars for the Monkey Bar. read more

Went to the Live-Band Karaoke Night, and had a blast! Bought shots for the band to kuck the party off! Met a lot of fun people, who appreciated our TX accents and singing. Order at the bar for best service, although the waitresses were nice. Full bar. Some of the seats are odd, but it was all fun! Highly recommended! read more

Great drinks! Extensive martini menu!!! Fun atmosphere- Peter was an awesome bartender with great conversation and guidance on the martinis. We will be back 100% read more

The vibe is always great for ending date night here, any day of the week. The bartenders are friendly and helpful with recommendations and modifying a drink to fit what I'm in the mood for. Keep in mind the place is popular so when it's super busy, there can be kind of a long wait for drinks. The bartenders are amazing and can only do so much at one time when every drink they make has multiple ingredients and is shaken by hand. We love this place every visit! read more

Atmosphere: I believe there is only street parking, I wouldn't know 100% to be sure though since I usually walk here after grabbing dinner somewhere else. The inside is always clean, including the bathrooms. The layout is awesome, so many different places to cozy up to have a conversation. They had an amazing blues band playing while we were here last time so it was super loud but a great time nonetheless. Service: They are always slammed here whenever I come so it takes a while to get a drink but they make mean mean martini's and that is all I care about. Drinks: Delicious and the selection is massive, no way you couldn't find something on this menu you would like. P.S. Apparently they have pizza too if you get a little crunk while downing the delicious beverages. read more

I love this place and did I mention they have a punchcard system!!! Yes please!! I have tried many martinis here. My favorites Pomegranate, Lavender Lemon Drop, Lemon Drop, Bada Bling. I just try different ones every time I go. read more

The martini selection is insane and the drinks were fantastic I also love the ambiance with the ambient lighting and sensuous art. My one complaint is that the bartender I had was really cold and kind of killed the vibe, like he had such a grumpy energy that I did not appreciate. I'd still recommend coming here because of how good the drinks are but it dampened the experience. read more

This is a fantastic bar. I came a little before 7PM on a Wednesday which is Funk night. The bartender was quick to let me know that it was still happy hour and I could save some coin if I ordered before 7. I ordered my first martini after reviewing the huge selection they have. Soooo many different martini's to choose from. I selected the Model T for my first one and it was delicious. After 7PM, on Wednesdays they will double stamp your loyalty card. I don't remember the name of the second martini I got but it was also delicious. The staff is fantastic. I was the only one in the bar until a little after 7 and the bartender made small talk. After the bar started got a little more filled I was still checked on regularly. I will definitely start coming here more often. I really want to check out the live band karaoke on Tuesday nights. If you want a great place for martinis this is hands down the best place in the Fox Cities for them. You will not be disappointed. read more

Stopped in here before dinner and had the watermelon and strawberry martini. The decor in here is like stepping into a speakeasy from yesteryear. It has an amazing lounge atmosphere that most places dont have. They also have a monkey bar upstairs that features tiki drinks, daiquiris and beachy drinks that typically opens at 8pm. There are cozy little private party couch areas in the back that are nice. We will be back later in day. We went too early so there was just us and another couple. Next time! read more

Déjà vu is a cool, hip martini bar downtown Appleton.  I'm a beer guy but will still indulge myself with a martini or two.  They have a long menu of martinis and cocktails, which can be intimidating but I still tend to find something that I like. There are two bar areas which is good if there's a crowd. Even then, their bartenders are pretty quick when it comes to making drinks.  The hard part is getting their attention. There's plenty of seating throughout the bar. I like sitting in the back-room bar as it's more of low-lit lounge area.   Lately I've been going here not for the drinks, but for the music.  They do a great job of putting on live music. Not just during Mile of Music, throughout the whole year.  Plenty of cover and original local acts and it sounds good in there. Only downside is the space of the whole bar is not ideal for watching music.  If you want to stand in front to watch the band, you can expect to have two rows of people and be ready people walking past you as your in between the two bars.  You're better off plopping a seat by the main bar and hope you can see the band from there. I would like to give it 5 stars, but with the watching music difficulty and $9 martinis, it's a solid 4 for me. read more

The old bar bartender with tattoo's (may possibly be the owner.) He is horrible, disrespectful as one can be and does not know how to run a business. I don't know if this old timer is really grinding his gears to think but this boy does not know the difference between a real ID and a fake ID gave him my temporary ID because I was waiting my physical ID to come in the mail he looked at my ID for seconds and said "no I can't accept this" I proceeded to ask why and after he ignored me for a bit he replied in a loud and disrespectful tone in front of a full bar mind you. "get out of my bar and get a real ID" I have never been more disrespected and publicly shamed than here. As I proceeded to walk out calmly I looked at him and said here you go and handed him the punch card that I was given the first time I was there which heres the funny part. He was there the first time as well and said it was good. I will never go near this bar again and I suggest you don't either if you are a person of color he clearly has something against us. And even if that's not the case and just had a bad day that should never and I repeat never be a way to treat the hand that feeds you. No matter I'll take my money elsewhere .where it's not run down and customers actually matter. read more

Went here for the first time with my girlfriend and we had excellent service! The atmosphere is amazing, the drinks are perfect! They have a large variety of fun martini's! Peter was are bartender and was a very cool gentleman! Will definitely come back for the drinks and the pizza! read more

Stumbled across this gem about a year ago for the first time, unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy it as we were just passing through town that day. We were so looking forward to going back and checking out some music and trying some of the vast selection of martinis they have. We finally got to go back, I'm so glad we did. We went during happy hour. Lol! This draft has been sitting here for a while... oops we're baaack! Omg! Love this place, the tiramisu martini is to frigging die for, js. All if the tini's are amazing so are the bartenders. Today we went upstairs to The Monkey Bar...do it! read more

Downtown Appleton's martini lounge is large and has two bars! As well as a few small rooms tucked off for more of an intimate setting. Live music frequently on a small stage in the middle so you can see it from both bars. The martinis are moderately priced around $9-$12. I never have received one I didn't like! Nice stop for anyone wanting a classy and unique scene. read more

I have come here 3 times now with three different groups of people on different nights and at different times and this place as consistently WOW'ed me with awesome service(tentative & helpful) and atmosphere(Jazzy). I have to start by pointing out the menu is absolutely fabulous. If I remember right they have easily over 50 Martini recipes. ( If you're a coffee lover I highly recommend the "Americano" & the "Espresso" ) The price was reasonable I would say the average cost for a Martini is between $8-$10. There is always some sort of live music playing and several different options for seating: Couches, tables, bar seating etc). Will continue coming here & recommending to my friends! read more

Drinks are reasonably priced but one bartender can't keep up with the crowd on a Tuesday night...long wait for drinks. Live band karaoke on Tuesdays, but it's disorganized. I was here for an hour and a half after putting my name on the list only to watch people sing two and three times without ever being called up. It pays to be a regular it seems, as a first timer tonight doesn't make me want to return. read more

If you want a kinda fancy drink in Appleton you could come here. The particular martini I got was distinctly "meh" but I may have just chosen a meh-kind-of-martini. My sister's drink was delicious. The live music was pretty good, too. read more

They have every kind of martini that you could possibly want, and they taste great! Atmosphere is good, and so is the service. The perfect go-to spot for a martini! read more

This bar is so cute, it's small and inviting. I love the red lights as soon as you walk in, the music is great too. So many varieties of martinis. My favorite one is the Lemon Drop and Cosmopolitan. Bartenders are very polite and well mannered. It's also never crowded which is what I love. read more

This place was great on Thursday night!! Live music and a very extensive martini menu!! The lady behind the bar was very cool and friendly. Had the Poinsettia martini and was delicious!!

This is one of my favorite places on the Ave. Deja Vu has the best Martini's I've ever had. The menu is a bit long but it makes it possible for everyone to find something they like. Some of my favorites are the Americano, espresso martini and the mochatini. Every bartender makes the same quality martini which is really hard to find at bars. The location is a very cozy. It is dimly lit which makes for a romantic vibe. The back bar is my favorite place to sit, especially in the private rooms. Live music here can get pretty loud so the private rooms make it possible to talk to the people you're with. Recently, we tried their homemade pizza and it was phenomenal! I come here at least once a month and have never been disappointed. read more

Hours posted as till 2 AM but they kick you out and turn business away at 11:30 with 20 people in the bar. Owners need to figure this out as not good business practice and long time customers won't be coming back. I'd suggest you don't waste your time and not go or tell the owners so they know. read more

Art deco inspired Martini bar. Intimate atmosphere with cozy nooks to snuggle with someone special. Live music most weekends. Drinks are top shelf and varied. My favs? The Bloody Martini and the Purple Penis( this r-rated martini menu is available, just ask) If you are hungry, try the Thai Chicken pizza imported from Cy's Asian Bistro in Neenah. Its the bomb!! Monkey Bar is upstairs from DejaVu(open Fri and Sat night) and is a tropical-themed small bar. Very Caribbean in feel, the decor is tasteful. No martinis up here, mostly rum-infused specialty cocktails. Fun to hang here but if you want some privacy, head downstairs to a couch in the dimly-lit corners of DejaVu. Bring your wallet! Say "hi" to Michelle the beautiful bartender, if you go! http://www.dejavumartini.com/index.html read more

I am in town for work and happened to go in one Saturday night. Martinis wherever good, they have a good variety or unique drinks. They have a couple areas towards the back where there are some couches & comfy chairs where groups can sit. We got there before the band started and even after the band started it wasn't so loud that you couldn't carry on a conversation. read more

I have been here a few times and appreciate the dim, lounge environment. There is a large martini selection so that held a lot of promise. The first time I went, we took a seat at the bar. The bartender was attentive, and talked a good game when it came to his martini-mixing abilities. His heart was in the right place, but when I tasted my grey goose martini, there was enough vodka in it to grow hair on me chest! The second time I came with my cousins and sat at a table, except this time the bar was crazy crowded and it took forever to get a drink. I could understand this more if again, I did not get a drink where the flavor of the alcohol overpowered all. A cool place and a steal if a heavy pour is your thing! read more

Went here on a Friday night around 8 with a friend for the first time recently and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect the place to be as full as it was for only being 8pm, but we were lucky to find a table! There was also a live band performing, which from what I hear happens pretty regularly, it was great! The drink list is extensive and prices range from $6.50 to almost $12, so you're bound to find something you'll like. I will definitely be coming back, it's a fun place to go for a downtown experience different from all the other bars on college! read more

Terrible bartender. Asked for ID of course I give him my ID. I'm using my tribal ID as I did not see a difference in using a driver's license when it is just as valid for me to cross a border in with, do taxes for jobs with, buy alcohol at any store with etc. I felt unwanted as soon as he requested "a real ID". Absolutely felt discriminated for trying to use my Tribal STATE ID. I don't recommend any of my friends this place. And I will tell people about this experience. Thank you to the kind bartender that helped me after. She was very nice and helped get me my order fast. The guy on the other hand is very rude. read more

I'm a newbie to the area for work, so I decided to take in some of the local sites while I am here during the week. As I love martinis, I had to give this place a go. Walking distance, in- heels, from the hotel - check. Sultry ambience - check. Knowledgeable staff - check. It looks like a jazz bar from the 1930's which was on purpose. It's nice and dark without feeling seedy. I had something that I normally clear of which would be the dessert drink. It was really good and the service was prompt. They do have a happy hour but the real test will be when I order my favorite martini, The dirty one with extra olives .... to be continued. read more
