OMG. What are the chances that I run into Ms. Khadijah again? On top of that, I had mistakenly thought my flight was earlier and ran into Raymond but he gave me the low down. He was a sweetie pie, too. Man, I miss the East Coast! Nothing but cool peeps like me just living their lives. After learning that I had a 4 hour layover, I was STOKED. Saw my girl, Khadijah for my returning flight to LA!! I was ECSTATIC! YOU HAVE NO IDEA. It's not the drink but the great vibes and company at Martini's. In fact, I noticed that when she's working, she's always got a full bar. It's her excellent attitude and vibe! I showed up and she had everyone up at the bar so I sat to the right of the bar so I can charge my phone! Even better, she remembered me! She told me that you can grab a drink if you have family, and sit across the way, if need be because those under 21 cannot sit at the bar. 2025.11-05/WED_1400: Just finished a long flight from LAX and had a two hour layover at BWI. I found the only bar between Concourse A and B. Originally, I was trying to stay close to gate A8. Had no idea my gates had changed to gate B. Martini is located at the top of the escalator on the way to Concourse B and the food court. The airport is under construction but you'll see it when you look for the escalator. There was a good amount of customers that looked like they were also on a layover having a great time. The bartender was a gorgeous lady by the name of Khadijah. It's so wonderful to see her beautiful smile and wonderful attitude. I don't know how she does it dealing with some grumpy and idiotic people! She's incredible just knocking everyone out with her wonderful customer service, attitude and SMILE. This changed her from beautiful to gorgeous or gorgeous to stunning. Whichever is top notch! Hospitality is 200%! Some customers feel so entitled and she handled everyone like a champ. No fuss, just a lovely attitude and she let stuff roll off her like waterproof wood stain. She also made me a drink called a Sexy Mule which had muttled blueberries, a flower of some sort (can't remember which flower liquor she told me) and extra ginger (it looked like pink lemonade garnished with blueberries). It hit the spot! Great suggestion! It was nothing like those bland Moscow Mules. If you are wondering where to go after a long flight and you're stuck at BWI for a long layover, I would suggest you see Khadijah at Martini because you won't receive stellar hospitality at any other bar at BWI like this! I'll be returning to BWI next week so I hope I see her again for my insane layover! #hospitality #martini #bar #baratBWI #BWI #mortimerthebear # travellingbear #everywherebear #ConcourseA read more

This is always my first stop at BWI awaiting my flight home (or connecting to meet my Maryland friend for our next excursion). Service is always exceptional. This time I was lucky to be served by Mona. I found out she just recently started and was trained by Kay (see previous review), who is also a star in my book. This place is the perfect stop to refresh before boarding your next flight with great service and excellent martinis. read more

It's not every day that a guy like me gets an opportunity to stop for a pick-me-up before catching a flight, but I was lucky enough to be able to do so today at the BWI airport at a bar called the Martini Bar. The service and atmosphere was super chill despite there being a rampant and quite disturbingly rude customer who was trying to give our Bartender (a very sweet and attentive young lady) an inconceivably difficult time, without cause, and the drinks (yes, I ordered another- why not?) were fantastic! Today, is the first time that I'd actually had time to enjoy a drink before catching a flight to handle some rather daunting family business abroad. So I appreciate it! Glad this place is there and that the experience was uplifting #cheers read more

Good airport bar if you have a layover and not much to do. It's kinda tucked into a corner with 2 seating areas: barstools and a few tables separate from the main bar. Drinks are pretty good and strong. The bartenders are hilarious and super sweet. I accidentally broke a martini glass (so embarrassing) and they were so kind in cleaning it up and making me another drink. Nijah -- I hope I spelled that correctly -- was awesome and makes a great mango margarita! The only downside I would mention is the price ($$$), but it is in an airport, so that's to be expected. read more

Great place to kill time at BWI, I think the menu has a great selection! I was in the mood for an expresso martini, and they make it with screwball whiskey! The hint of peanut butter is an awesome touch! My bartender was friendly, and put care into his work! If you are in BWI and have time to kill, check them out! read more

The martinis are good. The choice is broad. The timing is off and slower than I'd like. Still, a good martini for 20 dollars (slightly more with appropriate tip) and you get a clean, quiet break from the terminal behind you. I'd come here in the center of a city. read more

Kudos to the bartender, Steve. His customer service was absolutely impeccable and his drink making skills are on another level. Definitely check this dude out . read more

Drink was good. (Baltimore... it's a Bloody Mary - was decently spicy) We wanted a snack. Online menus are not accurate, so no snack - no food really. read more

Patrick Carson at Martini Bar is rude and that is what ruined my experience. There was a fruit fly in my margarita. I asked him to make me a new margarita and he rolled his eyes and said sure like it wasn't an inconvenience. I showed him where the fly was and while he was making my drink, I saw flies above the garnish station at the bar. He made me a new margarita and poured the new cocktail in my old glass and gave me my glass back with the lime that was in the previous cup. I thanked him and he continue to act like I was lying. read more

It was challenging to find a working USB-A charging port around BWI airport (since I forgot my adapter) so when I spotted the multiple lamps with these ports at the Martini Bar, I had to stop and enjoy a drink while my phone charged. The bartender was friendly and there was good music playing at the bar. Got a couple glasses of their prosecco to enjoy. There's only about 2 bar snacks (pretzels or hummus) available, so if you're hungry go elsewhere. Good and convenient spot between Concourse/Terminals A and B for a drink though. Drink menu has a small range of beer, wine, and cocktails ranging in price from $8 to $17. I would stop in again for a drink next time I'm at BWI. read more

I've walked past Martini Bar a ton of times but never stopped for a drink. I finally stopped by for a drink when I was flying out of BWI last month. My martini (I went with a classic dirty vodka martini, but they have a full menu of martinis and other cocktails) was good, and I really loved all of outlets for charging. The service was really good, and it was a great place to have a cocktail (or did I have two?) and do a little work or reading while waiting for a flight. read more

Patrick Carson at Martini Bar was slow to serve, made a sad, lame joke about women over 40 wanting to be proofed and had very little to offer when it came to making the drinks on the menu. The bar lacked various options of vodka and he could not make the martini we asked for(also no screwball whiskey available). We were fine with a simple espresso martini however. Patrick did not check on us as we sat the bar other than to tell me he was done with my credit card and to put it away. He also made a point to tell us we could sit across the way at the other tables as one of our older children(age 17) was standing with us at the bar and was not allowed to sit. Eventually we did ask for the bill and moved ourselves to those tables. About 10 minutes later, Patrick left his duties at the bar to confront us about the "inappropriate" tip we left him, that he works hard and that he flagged my credit card so that I am never allowed to drink at that bar. Extremely rude. Patrick C did not deserve any tip even the little one I had left him based on the service that we received. No worries Patrick, as long as you work there I have no desire to return. read more

We had a flight that was delayed and then cancelled and we spent 6 hours at the bar with Storm (the bartender). She was the BEST!! She was very friendly, attentive and sympathetic to our travel disruption. There were quite a few people in our situation and she handled them all with grace and understanding. She made suggestions for drinks when I was trying to decide. We made sure to go back and visit her on our return trip even though we were in a different terminal. As we travel in the future through BWI we will be on the lookout for her!! read more

I had the opportunity to have a layover at the Baltimore airport while waiting for my sister. I mentioned Old Fashion to Kay the bartender. She informed me that she makes a great one...she did not lie!! Along with her great old fashion and martini, her personality was perfect, especially for this setting. read more

Because a ridiculous layover is only managed well with alcohol. Love the Martini bar in BWI, largely because of K! Great bartender: knows what they're doing, amazing sense of humor, and wonderful management of the flow of an unusual bar setting. And prices aren't even bad for an airport! Definitely THE best place to wait out a garbage flight situation. read more

I enjoyed my time in the BWI airport. My flight was delayed like 3x but the bars, restaurants and shops kept Me occupied. I believe my servers name was ShaMeka, she was nice and maintained a busy bar with little to no wait. I had the Baltimore cosmo and it was good and strong! The blueberries were especially sweet which was nice for bar fruit. I would def recommend stopping here to grab a drink and charge your devices. read more

Best Apple Martini I've ever had the pleasure to experience. All fresh ingredients. This will be my stopping ground when traveling to PR in the future. It is located at BWI Airport in Terminal A. I usually board at Terminal B. I have been missing out. I need to make more travel trips that include this terminal. read more

Do you want a good, moderately price cocktail? While working on your laptop? And charging your cell phone? All while sitting in a comfortable chair? This. Is. Your. Spot! Definitely my favorite place for a cocktail at BWI. If only they served some small plates or snack or lite bites to accompany your beverage.... read more

Stopped by for a drink during a layover at the airport. Service was immediate and friendly. Drink was good.

Rude disrespectful employee turned off screens purposefully when I was unsure whether I wanted to stay or not after her first words out of her mouth while standing 10 feet away at the other end of the short bar " I need to see your ID". Wow. Not a walk up to me, hello. How are you none if this. Not what anyone should receive as their 1st reception. She needs to be gone. A reflection in management and ownership of she remains. Training in customer service desperately needed. read more

I have been in this airport 4 times. All 4 times I do my layovers at this lounge. The music is AMAZING. The drinks are AMAZING. They have at the bar seating and another space off to the side where you can social distance. Lots of places to charge your phone. Bathroom near by. It's literally the best. read more

Khadijah made a perfect dirty Marini that makes any delay or airport wait an enjoyable time.

I had a fabulous Baltimore Cosmo today at the Martini Bar and it is top notch! The mixologist was expert and my drink was oh so heavenly and not too sweet. The Luxardo cherries were the perfect garnish for the drink. Super cold, smooth and just well done! I'll be sure to stop by here again when I'm passing through! read more

Terrific bartender!!! My wife and I stopped by on a whim A seat opened up as we were deciding where to go and we grabbed it and could not be happier Kay behind the bar was fantastic and a great Maryland football fan! You can tell great service is the passion (next to making awesome memorable drinks) We were immediately greeted in a friendly way and the bar was cleaned and cleared as soon as it could reasonably be... The drinks were superb. Not kidding superb. My wife's Manhattan was one one of our best ever My brandy old fashioned actually took me back in time Make the time - to go here if Kay is on! read more

Somehow we missed this last time we were in the Southwest Airlines terminal. We're on a Martini kick lately so this was perfect for 20 minutes before the flight boarded. Kristen, our bartender was fantastic and can make just about anything. We had quick, great service, and while not inexpensive, we really enjoyed our Martinis. We'll definitely go again. read more

Michael SAVED MY NIGHT!!! A flight that I never even wanted to get on was delayed three separate times and this angel of a man sold me the best double shot of Jamo that I've ever had. Cute bar and awesome bartender! We had a blast hanging out and I forgot I was even stuck in an airport. read more

Kay is the bomb.com! Need to be entertained while waiting on a flight this is the best spot!!!

Worst bar ever!!! We sat across from bar area and each had a drink. Went back to bar to order another drink and was told we were being too loud with the music and cops arrested people earlier due to noise and he's not allowed to oversell?? Apparently, Michael has issues with counting and with serving people. He is overwhelmed and doesn't make much sense. The party of 5 left and went to another bar. Don't bother with this place!! It's a joke. read more

Had a flight from Cancun on Sunday night (4-7) around 7:00 pm, landing at Baltimore airport. I was travelling alone and I am an anxious flyer. Headed towards my gate but had a 4 hr layover and wanted to get something to drink. I saw this Martini bar and was so excited to stop, charge my phone and have a beverage. I noticed some stores/shops/restaurants closing and wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to inconvenience the lady at the Martini Bar by arriving too late. I asked her what time she closed and her reply was "I don't know". I asked her again and she said again, "I don't know". I only hope this lady was not the manager of this bar as she was very rude and angry. Several of the customers seated around the bar were shocked at her response. I would give this review a ZERO rating if I could. AND, OMG, this bar has another negative review and the patron took a picture of the employee and IT IS THE SAME WOMAN!!! WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT AN ESTABLISHMENT WHO CONTINUES TO EMPLOY THE SAME PERSON!! read more

Serenity in the middle of a big, busy airport. Baltimore, even. Squeeze in to this teeny gem and get a righteous Bloody Mary to ease the pains of traveling. Went to this bar twice - the morning bar tender was a precious woman with a vivacious, positive attitude!! Her night counterpart could use a lesson :/ read more

Michael is an absolute gem. He is great company and makes amazing drinks. If I'm back in baltimore airport, I know where I'm coming!

Was there earlier today, and I must say they have the best bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of being served by! Danyelle and Micheal really know their stuff, and how to keep their guest entertained! read more

Danyelle is my favorite bar tender here at Martini! Such a bubbly personality and added to the experience of wanting to grab another drink. Highly recommend taking time to get a drink or two here read more
