I love the atmosphere. Get here early to get a table outside because it's very cramped inside, and the outside patio is small. Great variety of strong and flavorful martinis.

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.

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.

Marty's is always a great time. Though you have to be very patient as your drinks are being made - they're complicated concoctions- it's worth it. The upside down ? was inve time and not too sweet. Cool outdoor patio but you have to be lucky - or early - to get a spot. Pacing is vital here.

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.

as you slurp on your gargantuan, dangerously tasty (read: potent) martini, you’ll probably bump into a fellow LGBTQ+ patron (or three) as you wait for a seat to open up. but it’ll be worth it- Marty’s is always crammed for a reason
