If you want amazing martini's, an awesome staff and a great piano bar, then run to Martuni's! This place gets better every time I go there.

Pros: drinks, music, wait staff

Cons: smoke sometimes drifts in

This place is very cool. When you're here, you can feel like you're in a cozy little up-scale jazz joint in a movie ... People line up to sing at the grand piano and everyone looks and listens on - it's quite the moment! This place has style, and a whole menu of songs that you can sing. I like that both the inexperienced and experienced alike can feel comfortable giving singing a go in a non-karaoke, warm, and stylish environment.

Pros: Cool Atmosphere

Cons: Not good for large groups

I love Martunis! I have been going to Martunis for a little over a year, and I love it. The crowd is a very diversed type crowd, and the people all seem to be very nice. I have met tons of new friends by just going to Martunis to have a nice drink. In addition, all the waiters are very nice and energentic. They definitely know how to do their jobs well, and make your experience even better. The drinks also come out quick, because they are doing their jobs very well. I have got to become firends with many of them. They are very warm and friendly, and love to communicate. The drinks are also very amazing. My favorite is the Cherry Blossom, Apricot, Sour Green Apple, and Fig, but all the other Martinis are just as good! I also love listening to the Piano performers play and sing songs. Also multiple people come into the bar to sing, and many of them have beautiful voices. It is a very fun experience sitting in the back room, so if you go for the first time I recommened checking it out. You will have a lot of fun. It is a nice place to bring your friends, go with your family, or even relax by yourself. Stop by and check it out :)

Pros: Drinks, People, Waiters

Cons: I cannot think of any honestly!

I never got why this place attracted so many people. They possibly serve the worse cocktails Ive ever had and with the most attitude. There cocktail list is not only simple and unimaginative but just disgusting. Every drink they call a 'martini' which is wrong but we wont get into the specifics and definitions now- every drink is mixed with a flavor of pucker. I.e. 'Pineapple-tini, Raspberry-tini' Gross. The classic cocktails I have had been poorly mixed, too expensive, and generally served with an attitude. I thought it would be best to go simple but a Hendricks rocks and vodka/tonic ran me 17 dollars last time. A little much? Most definitely.

Pros: clean, conveinent location

Cons: expensive and snooty, poorly mixed cocktail, dark, close quarters

The best martini in the city. The place to go to if you want a fabulous martuni, I mean martini.

A dark lounge located on the edge of the Castro, Martuni's is a great place to unwind with a serious cocktail. The main room is centered upon a pretty backlit bar and surrounded by cocktail tables. Moving into the backroom is a piano lounge which seems to be a bit less busy until the music starts. Service is very professional, I tossed down a chocolate martini and two metropolitans and were feeling them later on, they pour with a heavy hand! Once the music started, the piano lounge got busy and some very talented customers entertained the crowd. Stop by Martunis if you need a relaxing evening with a potent cocktail...

Pros: Stiff Drinks, Piano Lounge

Cons: Stumbling home

it's a place where all rules are broken and craziness happens!

Pros: BIG MARTINIS, $3 well-drinks, CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN

The consistent experience at Martuni's is that someone always spills your drink. The place is generally overcrowded and overserved. The stool-jammed space leaves you nowhere to escape and enjoy such good hooch. Trashed patrons are forever lined up for the too few restrooms located right in the main highway to the piano room. Beyond the novelty of the place, the entertainment is generally worth skipping unless you're a friend of the marginally talented 'performers.' Go early and enjoy a martini, then do yourself a favor and head to Mecca where you can drink and socialize with atmosphere and comfort.

Pros: Great drinks, Reasonable prices

Cons: Small, Crowded space, Bad cabaret

I was a british holiday maker in San Francisco, and discovered Martuni's. It's the most amazing camp place I have ever gone to. The people who go there are quite delightful. I found myself being chatted up by numerous people (probably to do with my english accent!). The bar staff are excellent (especially Glen, who is divine), but most importantly the Martinis are excellent. What makes this place so unique, is that you can sit in the front area to drink and talk to people or you can sit at the back room, where the piano player plays while people take it in turns to sing show tunes! Quite simply the best place in San Francisco.

Pros: Martinis, Great Bar staff, meeting people
