Martha’s Place has been a go-to spot for me every weekend since they have opened. I have also held many events here to commemorate birthdays and graduation celebrations! Martha, the owner herself, will go above and beyond to make you feel like family. The care and hard work that goes into her business is reflective of her many years of experience in the industry. She is a Sylva local, born and raised, but has worked in many diverse establishments throughout her life. She puts her entire heart into satisfying her guests, because she knows what’s important as an employer, employee, and a patron. She has truly done it all, and maintains high expectations for her business. The staff is consistently friendly and accommodating, day and night. They also have free pool tables, and incredible options for outdoor seating. Most weekends they host live music, and there is karaoke on Thursday evenings. The food always hits the spot- whether you’re looking for something quick and low budget, or treating yourself to a steak dinner.

We only had a late afternoon cocktail on the porch...perfectly prepared! Romantic setting. Just perfect. We will return.

We decided to have our wedding reception at Martha’s Place. Little did we know our wedding weekend would be during hurricane Helene. Martha and her staff still made our night the best we have ever had. During the entire wedding planning process she was attentive and had attention to details. I couldn’t be happier with our wedding day, despite the challenges of the weather and a lot of that is because of our amazing venue. The food was great and the atmosphere was all we dreamed of.

On top of all of this, Martha and her staff have a great attitude. We have been to Martha’s on several occasions just for a casual drink and everything is always amazing.

Had our unreserved post wedding dinner and drinks here and it was PERFECT!!! There's an area around the bar if you wanna socialize or just chill but the side rooms are the true gems!😉 All beautifully furnished and comfortable. Food was amazing!!! Staff was even better so that's a 7 star review right there!!! This will be our date night spot from now on. Oh and they have a pool table that's free to play so that was an added bonus as well. Family friendly too!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wheelchair accessibility: There are a ton of stairs so I would ask management if there was a safe way to get you in without stairs at all 🤔 maybe closer parking there may have been a ramp up top...hmmm... Now I'll have to check and I have more pics to add!! I'm never comfy eating in front of people and rarely sit at a dining table at home but it was so comfortable I felt very much at home.

Small place, with good atmosphere. Small bar, small menu, perfect for a little get together or an evening drink to celebrate life with.
I always judge a places food by their hotwings. The wings were delicious. Juicy and crunchy all in the right places.

Dietary restrictions: The menu had a decent pick of items. If you have dietary issues like me, you can find something on the menu that you can have.

We had our small wedding reception at the events pavilion at Martha’s and it was awesome! A nice space for 40-50 people. Martha was very helpful in the planning. Her and her staff handled much of the decorating as well as food/drink. The night went very smoothly; it was beautiful and exactly what we needed!

Neat spot offering dinner after 9 PM which is hard to find in the local area. Starting with the Caesar salad, which was tasty yet very heavy on the dressing. The chicken quesadilla was cooked to perfection. It was very tasty. The old-fashioned cocktail was an excellent way to wrap up the meal.

Service was top notch and the staff was super great and knowledgeable - had no problem helping me figure out what on the menu I could eat (no gluten).

Their drinks are FANTASTIC.

The atmosphere is fun and welcoming and it's set up so you're comfortable no matter what room you're in.

Such a great spot and venue. Old school feel with a great bar lots of little nooks and crannies for privacy and socializing a great Mountain View through the city buildings. Food was a great value add.

We stumbled upon this place while visiting from out of town and were so happy we did. Everything came out fast and was absolutely delicious (food and cocktails), the service was phenomenal, and the atmosphere was fun! If I'm ever back in the area I will definitely be back.
