Martiny’s

Genuinely one of the best cocktail bars I’ve ever been to. The drinks are inventive, stunning, and delicious. The mixologists have such a great depth of knowledge and skill. I’ve been back several times and am always blown away by the quality of the experience. I always go back to the tea ceremony and caprese cocktails. Can’t wait to return again!

Martiny’s is what Sip and Guzzle wishes it was. The atmosphere is intimate and lovely; the staff are very attentive and thoughtful; and the martinis are creative and taste so good. My husband and I came here for drinks after work. Our reservation was only for two hours, and we enjoyed a few speciality martinis and some of their bar snacks. The drinks are good, strong, and very well-made. There’s no pretense here or stuffiness; just well-crafted drinks and great food and service.

I’ve been going to Martiny’s every month for nearly two years and it is hands down my favorite bar in the city. It has the most exquisite, complex cocktails that delivers on experience and taste every time. They have a seasonal menu that changes quite regularly, as well as a menu of permanent cocktails. Everything is delicious, and I particularly love the Caprese and the Melon Soda (summer special). Book ahead as they are reservations only, and while the cocktails aren’t cheap, each one is nuanced, balanced, and carefully thought out. Also, shout out to the team (Rial, Ryoko, Philip, Maria, Miguel, et al.) for always providing the best service and making a girl feel welcome.

This place is on the 50 best cocktails for a reason - the upstairs ambiance is amazing for a dim lit homey experience. We tried the porcini mushroom, caprese and tea ceremony cocktails as well as the scotch eggs. The caprese was the standout of the three beverages. Just know you’re sure to walk away with a $100+ bill.

Hospitality: 5 stars ⭐️ Cocktails: 5 stars ⭐️ Food: 5 stars ⭐️ This place reminds me of Japanese bars. It is in the 50 best bars of the world. Come and try their martini 🍸 collection. This time I tried South Asian Martini, Melon Cream Soda, Walker’s Tea Room, and Three Little Words.

Now this was an impromptu stop after a show, and to celebrate a new job offer! Boy did this place deliver on fancy. We walked in and sought out bar seating, we waited less than three minutes to be escorted in and sat at a cozy table a few steps in. Like all New York venues this place was space at a premium. So imagine our surprise that we were able to walk in with relative ease. The next group behind us was quoted approx forty five minutes for another table and we can see why. We had oysters with caviar, the marinated elevated tomato dish both to split. I ordered their variation of a dirty martini and my friend loved their Melon martini. The server was the absolute highlight. So knowledgeable, friendly, and with just the right sense of humor to have us all laughing all together. The banter was so witty and enjoyed. Overall a very unique place for an elevated martini experience, pricey but worth every moment

I finally made it to Martiny’s, a martini bar in Gramercy, and it exceeded expectations. The ambiance is wonderful… an old carriage house turned pottery studio, now transformed into a cozy bar with Japanese flair and unique cocktails. The interior is gorgeous, laid-back, and no-frills. We sat downstairs near the large bar, which was a great vantage point. You know it’s a good spot when you keep asking your server about the drinks the bartender is making. I started with the Orangtini — an Earl Grey martini with Grand Marnier, paired with a slice of orange-flavored chocolate. Divine and not too orange forward. While we skipped dinner here, we returned for a second round and I highly recommend the White Grasshopper. It’s a reconstructed take on the classic - lighter, thinner in texture (no milkshake vibes), yet still capturing that delicious flavor. Perfect as an after-dinner drink. We sat upstairs which was even cozier. Highly recommend visiting Martiny’s for a nightcap. A lovely, tucked-away establishment that feels both special and off the beaten track. Service was attentive and wonderful. Make sure you make a reservation in advance - it’s worth it!

We waited outside for 15 minutes on a Sunday evening to get a bar seat by the front. There were four other parties waiting with us without reservation around that time. The drinks were pretty strong and enjoyable. The snacks were pretty good and immaculate too. I enjoyed the ambiance of the bar. The service gave me awkward vibes but overall they were talented bartenders. I may go again to try different drinks.
