Martini Ranch

Five stars? Why you ask, because it’s a 5 star dive bar!!! Now if it was trying to be in the hip posh trendy category it would receive less stars but i rate on category relavance. This is a cool not so little divey neighborhood bar. Cool art work on the walls and ceiling, innovative shots, and great drink specials ($ 2 wells and domestics during happy hour). Also, the clientele is wide varying, but everyone is super cool.

Nice little genuine bar! Reminds me of the bars back home in Chicago. The people seem to have little discipline for the jukebox, hearing everything from death metal to that Gotye song. I dig the painted ceiling panels. Nice place to go to after the comedy club.
A couple gripes: the parking up front requires you to pull up in rows directly behind other cars. If someone wants to leave and you’re parked behind them, they call you up and tell you to move your car. Not very intuitive. Also, clean your tap lines, people! My beer had some sediment in it and a friend’s beer was from lines that haven’t been cleaned in a while.
Also, Sunday is $ 1 pint night!

Martini Ranch is hooked up. There is great parking with a ton of stuff going on inside! I suppose every night is different with bands, dart competitions, fundraisers, BBQs, you name it, something cool is happening here. I enjoy the horse shoe bar design as well as a front porch and back porch for smokers. There were plenty of interesting people to watch, so I will definitely come back to scout them out in the future.

Writing a review since I couldn’t find much on this place! Besides the Facebook/​Myspace pages I found below, I didn’t really know what to expect. When you drive up it kind of looks like a dive, a square, cement building with no windows. Parking in the front and back.
I went to see a friend’s band play and they sounded incredible there! I loved Martini Ranch’s dart boards (had at least 5, plastic tip, .50 per person for Cricket which is a good deal…)
Another FUN fact — there’s a photo booth at the place! I think that makes it fun for everyone and worth the visit. I went on a Saturday night and it was not packed at all… however I hear that this is uncommon because the last time the band played there it was super packed!
Drinks are cheap, bough a large draft dos equis, red bull and vodka, vodka tonic, and 2 bud lights for $ 16.
It gets smokey fast. And I think they had a crockpot on the side for hot dogs w/​all the trimmings… but I didn’t investigate.
*If you’re going south on West from 410, it’ll come up quickly on your left…
