The absolute best place for a Martini in the city. I always go on Sunday afternoons so it’s super packed because they support particular charities at that time. I hear they’re moving, so hopefully that will accommodate a larger group. The martinis are fabulous though so I don’t mind fighting a crowd.
I love Marty's! The theatre company I work with (Broken Nose Theatre) holds a fundraiser here every year. It's a really fun and unique fundraiser that people actually enjoy going to. The drinks are all amazing, I've never heard anyone complain that they don't like their drink. The bar tenders are all really cool people and very knowledgeable of the menu. My all time favorite drink is their chocolate mint one, it tastes like a Girl Scout Thin Mint! I regret not getting it last time I was there, but the Lemon Drop I got this time was still really good.
Zyk and Kyle made this visit absolutely memorable! Thank you for the wonderful evening.
Tight squeeze/definitely an intimate space but a blast. Great martinis, decor is perfect for a cocktail bar, and quick service. Definitely a great spot for a drink to start the night, pit stop or night cap alike. I’m excited to come back in the summer and check out their patio space too!
The best martinis in Chicago. Each large has 10 shots of alcohol. The dirty Bird is amazing. So is the hazelnut. Be prepared to walk in the neighborhood for dinner. 2024- First time since COVID lockdown. James was a great server and bartender. We told him he would make a great Emcee in Cabaret. Birthday Dirty Birds. Yum.
Been here several times, with friends visiting and with locals, and it’s a hit every time! The drinks are strong, good, and tasty with the best patio. Plus amazing bartenders and servers !
Favorite bar in town! It does get crowded but the martinis are great (strong!!). Favorite drink: French 75.
Went here after the exciting 2024 Solar Eclipse to get some martinis and enjoy the day off. What a chill place. The Bar was clean and the outside sitting was cozy. Prices are amazing for what they give you. I will definitely go back.
