Martini - St. John's

My husband and I visited this restaurant tonight and had a disappointing experience. We inquired with the bartender about their happy hour specials, and she informed us that cocktails featuring Iceberg vodka were priced at $5.75. Based on that, we ordered two elderflower martinis made with Iceberg vodka. However, when the bill arrived, it totaled almost $30. When we questioned the bartender about it, she clarified that the happy hour special did not apply to martinis. You would think that if someone inquires about a special and then orders a drink, the bartender would double-check to ensure it qualified. We even spoke to the manager about the situation, but he brushed us off without addressing our concerns. Overall, we felt misled about the prices and then received poor customer service. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

After enjoying a wonderful meal at the Green Sleeves Pub, we noticed The Martini Bar right across George Street. This inspired us to think about having some drinks afterward, and we were so glad we did. Janice ordered what I believe was a Passion Fruit Martini, while I opted for a Sour Apple. Both were fantastic, and the best part? They were only $7 each! Since they were such a great deal, we decided to get another round and chose the Purple Haze, which was also amazing! If you find yourself on George Street, make sure to stop by. The drinks are excellent, the music is enjoyable, and the staff is outstanding. Definitely give it a try!

I had a great experience overall at George's Street. It's located right in the center of the action and is larger than many other places in the area. There's even a dancing option! For context, George's Street is known for having more bars per square foot than anywhere else in the world, making it a fun spot to explore. However, it's generally geared towards the under-35 crowd.

Awful place. I came with 2 friends who are well over legal age and one of the bouncers refused my friend entrance for her valid ID. She had to show them a pay stub from the bar next door that she works at in order to get in. And then after my ID was checked they made me wait to the side for 5 minutes before they accepted my cover money and let me in for. Would not recommend.

I had a regrettable experience with one of the bouncers here. He refused me entry as I approached the door with one of my pals using me as a human crutch. My friend was determined to join us at The Martini Bar. Another pal told the bouncer in question that I was fine but, yes, our buddy was too far gone. That didn't make a difference. It was probably for the best, however, as my admittedly intoxicated pal took a taxi home and then I went on my way to another establishment where I was warmly received. I don't know if I was refused entry because: (1) I was acting as a human crutch; (2) he didn't want to try and figure out whether I was as far gone as my pal; or (3) I was unfashionably attired. As I've been underdressed as a patron of The Martini Bar in the past, I'd imagine that I was refused entry because I was helping a bit of a legless pal who was insistent on trying to get into the bar or because the bouncer just assumed that I must have been as toasted as my friend. Not that it matters much for, as noted, I moved on to another establishment where I was served with a smile after my friend put himself in a cab and went home.
