    Just visited the bar area. Nothing went wrong here. Had a good cider from the tap and a Bud light. Plenty of TV screens for the Amazon football game and you had the ability to order food from two different restaurants to be delivered. My order came in 15 minutes.

    Depending on the size of your group & if the room is available, I would recommend booking the VIP room. The open lanes are $35 per person an hour and the VIP room is $45 a person, while you still only get an hour to throw the difference between the two is being in your own private area with the ability to select your own music & you'll have a personal waiter who will periodically stop by to see if you need anything. Online is shows that you need at least six people in your party to book a VIP room, we only had five, but I called ahead of time and asked if there was open space if we could book it anyway. The general manager on that day was awesome & let us book the VIP room since they had plenty of openings on the day we wanted to visit. Upon your arrival you'll enter into their bar & lounge area, where you'll find plenty of seating along with quite a few board games you can play with your family and friends. I found the space to be quite cozy & inviting, we had visited shortly after the holiday season so everything was still decorated for Christmas and added to the charm making it feel more like a winter getaway cabin. The VIP room felt very much the same, it had a nice seating area with three private throwing lanes. We loved being able to pick out our own music to listen to while throwing. If you get hungry they had a menu which offers a few in-house dishes, but also has options from several close businesses. We ordered some sliders & some brussels sprouts from a spot nearby that was featured on their menu. After a short amount of time, our waiter came by to let us know that the food spot was a bit busy & running behind on their order so he was going to extend our time so we could eat and throw some more which was very nice of him. Drink wise, you can order soda and alcohol from the bar. We loved that the lanes had a tablet that allowed you to choose from a number of games to be projected onto the throwing boards. One of my personal favorites was the tic-tac-toe and competing against my husband to see who would win. The kids had a fun time with the zombie target practice, and the darts style throwing. We were having so much fun that the hour along with the extra fifteen minutes we were given, completely flew by! The regular throwing lanes had quite a few people when we arrived, but still offered plenty of space to walk through without feeling like you were in the way of anyone. The arcade area offered mostly pinball machines, but we love them so we were exited to check it out after our timeslot was over. I was actually kind of surprised that when our time slot was over & we came out of the VIP room that all of the regular throwing lanes were completely empty & we were the only party left, so we were able to have the whole arcade to ourselves. This is definitely a spot we would want to come back to!

    Had such a good date night with my husband! So many options for games and also great drinks and environment. Our host was awesome and really helpful. We're from Seattle but have an airbnb in AZ so we come here often and will definitely be back!

    Axe throwing and football!!

    My wife and I got caught at the bar waiting for a reservation across the street , after 2-3 delicious cocktails, and finding out that they also serve mellow mushroom and cook and craft, we ended up staying for some more! Bar was a enjoyable to just relax and watch some college football. What we didn't expect was that our bartender Nick would convince us to actually go throw axes!! He seamlessly transitioned us into our own throwing lane in the back, where chas took over and taught us how to throw. They helped make the entire experience wonderful and easy. This place is perfect if you just wanna drink some cold beer and watch sports and even better if you want to throw axes, drink cold beer, AND throw axes

    Beautiful bar, BIG TV's

    Went there with my family after a normal dinner, had a beautiful time with our Axe-Pert Chasity! She taught my children and I how to throw and then when we were almost done, the manager came over and gave us a little more time so we didn't have to rush through our intense game of connect four! :) would recommend for anyone looking for a chill place to hangout, the vibes and aesthetic are one of a kind

    My review may be unconventional, but I hope it's helpful. So, I didn't throw axes during my visit. I actually wandered in to enjoy a nonalcoholic beverage and read my book for an hour before a comedy show two doors down. The staff's kindness truly stood out to me. They went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable, from offering to close the door to the hot outside to refreshing my water while I simply sat there sipping away killing time. That level of kindness goes a long way, so when I'm ready to throw axes one day, this is definitely a spot I'd return to. Everyone was wonderful, and Hailey really made an impression! She was exceptionally sweet, helped take some fun photos in the lobby, chatted with me about the fun bear slippers they sell, and was a warm, welcoming face as soon as I walked in. I also enjoyed watching several people order food for delivery from the Mellow Mushroom next door--a cool setup that invited tempting smells! Thanks for a lovely memory!

    Staff was super friendly and the place had a fun vibe. The ability to play different games by projecting different images onto the board was unique and made the experience more exciting. However, I'm not sure that was worth the price paid for just an hour of throwing. Also, more assistance throughout the hour of throwing may have made the experience more enjoyable for those new to axe throwing.

    What a fun experience for our team event. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They had a great selection of beers to include locals. Our instructor Mitchell was amazing...So patient and gave us great tips to hit the board. The different games made it extra fun! Great for a date night or outing with a group of friends.

    Super fun spot! Great selection on tap, atmosphere had a good vibe, they have a game room, axe throwing, TV's, patio, etc. Check out their VIP room for big events! Grab dinner nearby on High street before you come and then come here for the fun! They don't have food here but they do have a food runner that will go pick up your order for you at any of the restaurants on High St (if you prefer to eat there). We will definitely be back, this is a great edition to all of the other amazing places on High Street! Highly recommend!

    AMAZING SERVICE!!!! After my first visit, I want to become a regular!!! Great drink selection - beers on tap and hard alcohol. Haven't done the axe throwing yet, maybe one day... Looks fun. Til then, I'll be at the bar :) Maybe I'll play some games in there too: board games or arcade. I hope this place sticks around.

The bar setting itself was nice! I truly appreciate the speakeasy feel- walking through a mystery door phone booth was a good welcome to this bar. Small on the inside, but had a classy but casual feel. Since we did the murder mystery there was also a preset menu which was cool. The food was okay, but will be returning back for the drinks more than the food. The murder mystery game was a nice way to get everyone in the bar involved. Essential a real like clue or who done it game. Very interesting but also can be a bit distracting if your goal was to come out and have some drinks and peace out at your leisure. While it is a very cool idea, I feel that more customers would be able to come and go on these days and not be turned out because a reservation was not made. All in all, will return on another night to try more drinks

I ordered the cheese plate to split with my children and no one knew what was on it when I asked, but I was later informed that I got a tomato jelly and honey mustard as the sauces. To me a $30 cheese plate would not come with a container of honey mustard so I was not impressed. When I asked what cheeses were on it they told me there was 2 different cheddars. There was no way it was a cheddar it was a very soft cheese. I believe it was a goat cheese. The almonds were probably the best part of the whole platter. My husband got wings, which were very big. He enjoyed those and the sauce, and my other daughter got meatballs, which she enjoyed, but thought they were a little spicy, I find that usually when kids order things that are spicy servers will say just so you know that has a little bit of heat to it to which the waitress did not again, I don't think she was very knowledgeable on the menu in general .

Understandably, the food took a bit with our party size, but everything was coordinated came out pretty much at the same time. The loco moco was definitely a group favorite (good burger patty) while the mac salad was probably our least favorite component (lacking in salt and flavor). To zhush up my loco moco a bit, I asked our server for some hot sauce, and was brought their Madagascar hot sauce. Woooo-wee that was hot!

    Exceptional Staff Response to Unwanted Contact considered Sexual Assault at Blue Martini…read more My husband and I recently visited Blue Martini, and while we initially had a great time dancing, the evening took a distressing turn due to the actions of another patron. However, the club's staff--specifically the security and bouncers--handled the situation with outstanding speed, professionalism, and care. While dancing, an unknown individual came up from behind me, inappropriately grabbed my body, and attempted to put his arms around me. My husband intervened immediately to physically remove the patron from my body. Once freed, while my husband was speaking with the individual, I went straight to the nearest security personnel to report the incident. The response from the Blue Martini staff was immediate and flawless: * The security team I spoke to instantly took the situation seriously, ensuring my safety first and showing genuine concern. * They listened attentively to my report. * The bouncers quickly located the aggressor, who was promptly and permanently removed from the premises. In a situation that was shocking and unsettling, knowing that the staff at Blue Martini is trained, prepared, and willing to take decisive action against harassment and assault made a huge difference. Their effective and swift response deserves significant recognition. It's clear that Blue Martini prioritizes the safety and well-being of its patrons. If you are looking for a venue where staff actively addresses and removes individuals who cross boundaries, this club sets an excellent standard. Thank you to the security team for making me feel safe and protected during a vulnerable moment. Highly recommend Blue Martini for both the atmosphere and, most importantly, the top-notch security!

This beer-focused bar isn't the easiest to find because it's underground down a stairwell. Look for the signage close to the stairwell. Ambiance (3.5/5): We sat at a booth at the bar. It's one of the few seats that have back support (which is important to me due to my old man back). Outside of that, it's all barstool seating with no back support inside. Outside, they have a small patio with chairs. That would be another option for me when the weather cooperates. The decor inside is your typical beer bar decor. Laid back. Comfortable. There's a jukebox. A cool place to grab some brews. Service (3.5/5): Two bartenders were working that evening and they were pretty solid. I did have to grab their attention a few times but no biggie. The Whining Pig has daily specials including a beer and grilled cheese combo on Wednesdays. I was curious on the price. They didn't know nor did they find out. That was a miss. Food (N/A): No food for me on this visit as I had dinner prior. They have a small menu, mostly made up of various grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a classic one, a pizza one, and a few others. I'm a dan of grilled cheese so I'll definitely try one out at some point. They also have charcuterie boards. Drinks (4.5/5): Now for the good stuff! Unlike most beer spots, they also have wine and several cocktails. But when in Rome, so I went with a beer flight. You can choose five beers of your choosing from a list of 40 beers or so. While they don't brew their own beer, they have an interesting selection of local craft beers and European ones. The types of beers you're not going to find at your neighborhood bar, including saisons and sours. The flight is served in a pig shape holder which was pretty funny. Flights are always my go-to when they're offered as they allow you to try out a nice variety. Added bonus: Walk down the hallway past the bathrooms and you'll run into Pigtails---a speakeasy owned by the same folks. That way, you can get both your brews and elevated cocktails fix in the same night.
