Martine

One of the best spots in the city! The vibe is incredible, a modern take on a classic loft environment. The food is delicious, exactly what I need with a tasty drink. The staff made us feel right at home with their welcoming hospitality. And the drinks, why we’re all here of course, were stellar and truly unique.

We stopped by this lovely little French Bistro and bar on a rainy Friday evening and was greeted by one of the owners. We found a cozy corner seat near the window and ordered the Brancade, bread and popcorn, along with a few varietals of their wines. It was spectacular. Martine's also has a second floor as well with a larger bar area, but remains a place that can serve many patrons. Please stop by this place, you will be enchanted!

Great atmosphere. Very classy. A little loud at times but overall a great vibe for South Ave. The drinks are not to my personal taste, but I know a ton of people who do like them. They offer a smaller fun size drink for cheaper drinks and I highly recommend that. Great for a girls night out!!!

Decided to check this place out and the overall aesthetic is pretty cool! Cocktail menu is very limited for a cocktail bar but they were not bad. Unfortunately the bartender put his boot on the sink while having a chat with customers, which made us concerned about the overall cleanliness of the bar area so we closed our tab and left..

Nice little bar known for "kocktails" - it was a fun after work stop at a long day with a friend. There weren't other patrons there when we arrived, but that picked up, and we left with the place still full. The downside of the cute and newly renovated space was how cold the AC was!

I have a hard time getting into whatever this place is trying to sell. We went to check it out last night and had mixed feelings when we left. First off, congratulations on some amazing drinks. Seriously. They were fantastic. The issue I have is that paying $12 for a drink poured from tap is hard to swallow. In my mind, some of that price should be for paying a skilled bartender to craft a drink in front of you. This was upstairs - I have no idea what the bar was like downstairs. That said, the downstair section was so busy it was impossible to move around, so we went up. First thing we noticed what that the modern looking bar clashed with the rest of space. The decor was disjointed and it made the whole vibe feel off. It got pretty busy up there too and it wasn't even 7PM. I'd definitely come back to give it another shot. 3/5 stars because for the price of things I would expect a better overall experience. The crowd didn't help. BUT, the drinks were great and that is what matters the most.

The overall space looks very cool, but once you take a closer look, it starts to unravel. The cocktail menu they have is probably some of the worse tasting drinks I’ve ever had. The food is rather bland and nothing to call home about. The staff was friendly so that was definitely a nice plus. It seems like a place you visit once and then never again. I have no desire to go back but glad I got it over with.

Very nice place. Cozy relaxing environment, with good wine selection and friendly service. Some beers are available for those that absolutely don’t like wine or cannot have it but still want to be there. Upstairs is Cheshire, a cocktail bar with an awesome lounge-like setting. You almost feel as if you were in London.
