What People Are Saying About Martini Ranch

The Scene – Young creative types and businessmen in suits pour in throughout the week. If you're lucky, you'll get a seat at one of the four raised booths. If not, the narrow space doesn't allow much room to stand, much less dance, but that doesn't deter those who feel the rhythm. For some diversion, head to the back lounge and play a game of pool by a flickering gas fireplace and two of the largest lava lamps you've ever seen. The kitchen serves traditional bar food until 3am. – – The Draw – Order a cosmopolitan or something shaken from the collection of 40 martinis.…

This is not a "pub"

by hahahaha

For all you crybabies...covers are designed keep out unwanted people like you. Martini has better customers, better bartenders, better music, and better drinks so if you don't like the cover, don't go. Sometimes you have to pay up to get a quality product. If you can't afford the 5-10 bucks, then stay home and watch "Will and Grace" so people who know a good spot can enjoy it.

  • Pros: Small and tight-knit

Worst "Martini Bar" in North America

by devlin808

First off, this is not a "Martini Lounge", it's a Jerry Springer post show hangout. Second, the management treats everyone poorly and has the help do the same. Who charges a cover for a bar past its prime? It's pretty much a bunch of "rich kids" who have no clue running the place. They only want their friends to come in, and if you're not a "friend" of the management they will treat you accordingly, and you won't like it. There are so many great pubs in the city that don't charge a cover, and treat you the way people should be treated, that there is no reason to check this "hole" out.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Miserable
