Marty's Martini Bar is a small,[2] upscale, "Toulouse-Lautrec-styled" cocktail bar in Andersonville, Chicago.[3][4] The interior features gilt-framed mirrors and posters.[2] The Not for Tourists Guide to Chicago has described the bar as "compact and classy".[5] The guide has also called Marty's a gay bar.[6]Moon Chicago says Marty's "becomes a gay bar late at night".[7] In 2016, Time Out Chicago said of the clientelle: "it seems the straight folk tend to show up first for a predinner cocktail and the gay crowd comes later. Like gentrification, but in reverse."[8]
The Chicago Tribune has said the "cozy" bar serves "classic" cocktails.[9] Drinks come to two sizes. The menu has included the Black Velvet, Cosmopolitans,[10] the Crème brûlée, the Dirty Bird (olive juice and blue cheese-stuffed olives),[2] and the Pineapple Upside-Down martini.[3]
Receptionedit
Fodor's has said the bar serves "some of the tastiest cocktails in town".[11] Marty's was included in Eater Chicago's 2014 list of the city's ten "most overlooked" cocktail bars.[10] In 2022, Shone Palmer of San Diego Gay and Lesbian News included Marty's in an overview of Chicago's best gay bars, writing: "Marty's Martini Bar is the best place to go if a night in with candles, a glass of wine, and sade playing on vinyl seems like your idea of a good time. You won't find a more spectacular or fantastic homosexual bar in all of Chicago than this one. The club successfully combines coziness, luxury, and comfort. There's a reason why people go to Marty's: the atmosphere is friendly, the service is impeccable, and the drinks are top-notch."[12]
